With v5.7.0 RC2.0, I’ve added a new friendly feature:

Replacement HUD: When borked, your HUD now gives you a  blank replacement HUD. You don’t have to go to the Update Switch to get a new one. You don’t have to re-setup your gear – just wear the replacement HUD and transfer your gear over.

The downside? It’ll only give you the same version as what you have now. Giving the latest HUD is not a good idea, as your current gear might be outdated and might not work with the latest HUD. You can still go to the Update Switch at the Warehouse to get updated to the latest HUD + gear.

Other features:

Initialization error: will now tell you what to do and self-recover rather than be stuck below 100%. Will also identify server communication errors.

Typos: Fixed, courtesy of the eagle-eyed Russell Applemoor.

Just discovered a potential problem of data not being fully downloaded from LULU servers if there’s too much data (e.g. the avie has a long gag label, or the avie has several gags).

All older HUDs -> such users may experience some data loss when they get a new HUD. e.g. the gag might not be in the correct position when rezzed.

New:

More robust download: Will automatically overcome SL-limits on http download data, and self-recover.

All in all, HUD v5.7.0 is looking pretty good – it’s smarter (self-recovers from many SL-imposed limitations) and it’s lighter too!

Enjoy,

Some people (thanks Nagi Michinaga and Lori Claremont!) have reported a “Too many https too fast” error. So I went away and redid the way the HUD talk to the servers again.

What’s new:

• RC1.8 will be more resistant to the SL throttle (i.e SL silently drops stats being sent to LULU servers)
• Will know when the “Too many http” throttle kicks in and will resend later.
• Removed five more scripts from the HUD.
• Will now detect if SL borks the stats update script in the HUD.
• Is more resistant to stack-heap collision error.

To get this RC HUD, make sure you have the latest gag/cuffs and go to the Update Switch. Select “HUD only” when given the option (you will only have this option if the gag/cuff you’re using to verify is the latest version). Just wear the HUD, and transfer your gear over. No re-setup necessary.

Enjoy!

Yup, time for another refresh.

Thanks to Russell Applemoor for testing and reporting the “LULU logo” not-working-bug.

What’s new:

LULU logo “button”: working again in RC1.7

I don’t have any more impending bugfixes slated for 5.7.0 final release – so if there are no further bug reports over the next few days, this will go live.

Have fun!

Additional changes in this 1.6 refresh:

• Gag not transferred in error: Now fixed. (Thanks Nagi Michinaga and Russell Applemoor for bug reports and tests!)
• Gag emote bugfix: The gag remove emote will work properly again when using the gag menu (thanks Nagi  Michinaga for reporting and testing this!)
• Getting Started for Doms: is now web-based.

You can get the HUD if you have the latest cuffs or gags. If you go the Update Switch and present the latest cuffs/gag, you will get an “HUD Only” option. Get the HUD, and just transfer your gear in. No need to re-setup.

The other changes since 5.7.0 RC1 are:

• White Cuffs: Signature Cuff white leather option will no longer revert to tan on relog.
• Longer Security Check timeout: Lengthened Security Check timeouts, especially for logins (two minutes, even longer if sim freeze detected due to Mono scripts).
• 37% lighter: Over a third lighter in scripts than before.
• Reset: Only “quick reset” now, no more “forced reset”.
• Better Stat Updates: Now if the HUD can’t contact LULU servers, will retry again later till it connects. Improved error handling. reliability, and less strain on both SL and LULU servers.
