New SL 1.30 server fixes the bottom-inventory bug

From today, if you run Signature gear setup at the Secret Warehouse, you will be safe – and your setup should be a lot shorter.

City Noir (where the Secret Warehouse is), being a pilot region, has been refreshed with the new server update 1.30. This fixes the VWR-12525 bug that caused people to crash during setup (when you try to click on gear that has dropped to the bottom of your inventory), and which required a somewhat lengthy workaround.

(Don’t worry, if you’re on a sim that’s not been updated, it’s still perfectly safe to set up, the HUD will just add workarounds, that’s all – just make sure you wear the HUD directly from inventory at the setup sim. Do not wear the HUD at the Warehouse and then TP elsewhere to set up.)

Server Version 1.30 will be rolled out to the rest of Second Life:

17 Sep: pilot rollout to selected regions.

23 Sep 1.30 rollout to half of SL deployed ahead of schedule.

24 Sep 1.30 rollout to other half of SL deployed ahead of schedule.

How to tell whether your sim is on 1.30? On the SL menu, hit “Help” > “About Second Life…” and check the numbers behind “Second Life Server”.

During the rollout period, if you try to setup or re-setup, your HUD (minimum v5.4.4 required) should automatically detect whether the sim you’re on has been updated to 1.30, and setup will proceed accordingly. The only caveat is that you have to wear or attach the HUD while on the sim (and not wear the HUD and then TP in). It won’t work to also login into the sim. You’ll need to actually attach the HUD from inventory.

Benefits of the bugfix:

  • shorter setup steps (no need for long workarounds).
  • no more crashing due to this bug.

Though it took more than 5 months before this bug got fixed, in SL time, this is super-quick time. So, let’s be thankful. Thanks for voting and making it happen.

Signature Cuffs 2.3.0 Release Candidate

The Signature Cuffs v2.3.0 Release Candidate is out.

Key features:

  1. White leather option! Just go to the “color…” menu and leather cuff owners will have the option of tan or white as the leather base. You can color either one to your heart’s content.
  2. Stop Anims. Say “/1.stopanims” or go to help (“/1.help” or the “?” button on HUD) and then select “stop anims”.
  3. Snappier rez. The HUD and cuffs should respond a lot quicker now after initial rez.
  4. Various setup and menu improvements.
  5. Chain menu bugfixes (Thanks Frank Skosh).

Just click the blue box once you enter the Warehouse.

Because the cuff version number is different, you will need a full setup.

[Edit: If you find your left-ankle leather is not turning white, go get a fresh update from the blue box – SL borked the earlier set.]

Cheers, Lulu

Sneak Peek: Quick way to clear stray or borked anims

Sneak peek at the next Signature Cuff update:

Has SL ever borked your avie and you’re stuck in some embarrassing anim? Well, you could clear all anims via the SL advanced menu – but unfortunately that only clears the anims in  your viewer, and other people in the sim will still see you in your rather undignified state.

Enter the new “stop anims” command.

Either:

  • Say “/1.stopanims”.
  • Or say “/1.help” to get the help menu (or click the “?” icon on the HUD), and click “stop anims”.

That’s it. This affects all anims currently playing, including anims from AO, cages, seats, etc. Your cuff menu will also reset, just as if you’ve issued “/1c–” or “kwik release”.

So, remember:

“/1.stopanims”

Coming soon.

City Noir going Adult on 14th Sep

As mentioned earlier, City Noir will be going Adult to comply with new Linden Lab policies.

The date is 14th September, PST.

For details on getting age-verified, or alternative non-adult update locations, see previous post.

If you’re can’t access adult sites, the only way for you to purchase LULU gear is to get someone else to who can, to buy it for you as a gift.

xoxo,
