Might be worth a mention: there’s a little improvement in the latest Signature Gag v3.22.01 for the furries, thanks to the persistence of Krendal Graff.
In the past, you can’t shift the gag more than about 0.1 meter. But that’s no good for furries with muzzles or snouts. So, in v3.22.01, they can. Well, up to 0.25 meters anyway.
There’s a little technical reason for the limitation, but I won’t bore you with the gory little details.
Luv, Lulu.
If you have HUD v4.13.00, do go to the Release Candidate box, or the Update Switch, and get the v4.13.02.
There is a sad bug in v4.13.00 that does not transfer keys when you transfer your toys from the v4.13.00 HUD to another HUD.
The latest version has also some new improvements and fixes: read here for cuffs, and here for gags.
Luv, Lulu
Signature Command HUD v4.13.00 had an important new feature:
Pre-emptive Smart Reset will now periodically check for script errors. The idea is to hopefully discover any script errors before you do. It’s surprising how many people still don’t know how to use “/1.reset” when things don’t work. So I’m making Smart Reset a bit smarter.
And you are encouraged to use the new ZHAO v1.02 (LULU Mod) provided. These will silently work with the HUD, so that as soon as SL detects a stack-heap collision error, the HUD will automatically run a smart reset.
Also, v4.13.00 is a lot more stack-heap resistant (not to say it won’t have stack-heap errors – in today’s unstable SL environment, it’s impossible to prevent this, even for scripts that have over 70% free memory!).
Besides these, there are several important bugfixes, which you can read here for cuffs, and here for gags.
They’re at the respective boxes right as you enter the Secret Warehouse. Remember, you don’t get Release Candidates from the regular Update Switch, but at the Release Candidate boxes (blue and white ones).
Get ’em while they’re still warm.
Luv, Lulu
No I haven’t been lazy.
SL’s been a bigger bitch than usual lately, with Havok4 (which is great for simowners!) and 1.19.x (gorgeous sky, water and web browser!). I’ve been working hard trying to improve the user experience by coming up with a really smart reset – that detects when something’s gone wrong (or if, but when – SL is still not very stable), hopefully before you do. Plus the usual bug fixes.
These days, when Second Life is acting up almost daily, it’s quite often that things don’t work the way they’re supposed to. Problem is, it’s difficult to tell when it’s an SL problem, or it’s a bona fide bug. If it’s the latter, than I’d like to know, and I’d want to squash it.
Here’s how to tell.
Why do I need your help? Why can’t I do all the debugging myself? Fact is, the Signature line of toys are among the most complex things out there in Second Life today. When I make a full cuff set – it’s not one toy. It’s actually 8 toys plus one very complex HUD. Nine items that need to work together, in various combinations (base cuffs with neither, either or both the arm and thigh plugins).
The HUD must not only support each cuff, but also up to 6 types of gags. And also have room for future Signature toys. The HUD can detect and reset scripts that have stack-heaped, it can restore lost settings, and it can transfer settings and toys from one HUD to another. It can detect changes and prompt you to save. And then some. It’s a complex toy.
There are about 40 scripts inside the HUD’s root prim alone, and most of these are full (i.e. they’re not simple 20-line scripts that do only one specialized job each). That’s a lot more scripts than your average HUD or toy out there.
As such, bugs are inevitable – especially with so many possible combinations of usage and settings possible with the Signature series. Many bugs only show up under certain very specific circumstances (for example, one bug showed up if and only if you are using the RL Viewer and you have the gag and you are on “garble loose” setting and you just logged in while not wearing your gag).
It’s just impossible for one person (that is, moi), to debug every possible combination – especially if I am to develop new toys and add new features and provide last-ditch customer support and so on.
That’s where you can help:
Together, with can work towards a sophisticated, yet bug-free LULU Signature series for everyone! Luv, Lulu Ludovico
