Most of you already know that you can update your gear at the Warehouse’ Update Switch.

Here are some additional hints:

1. When asked to wear a cuff/gag, you can already be wearing one and it will verify when you press “ok”.

2. Or if you can rez one – you can even wear a “used” cuff or gag from your inventory. Even if it detaches, it will still verify.

Now that you are verified, you will most probably be presented with 2 options. This can be tricky.

1. Choose “HUD + cuffs/gag” to get a complete set with new cuffs/gag. If your existing cuff/gag is outdated, you need to choose this to get new gear.

2. Choose “HUD only” to get a blank HUD. Choose this when your cuffs/gag is already the latest, but SL has borked your HUD. In effect you’re just swapping HUDs. You can also choose this when there are updates to your HUD, but your cuff/gag versions remain the same.

More details here.

Oh, btw, if you’re updating from v.1 cuffs (and v.4 HUD), the Update Switch will no longer give you the option – it will simply toss you a fresh HUD + cuffs.

So 2008 has come and gone. A bit too fast. Sadly, I will remember 2008 in SL as one of the worst in terms of Grid performance – lots of bugs, TP problems, etc. I’ve had to spend most of my time working around SL problems. Can drive a girl nuts!

Thank you for your love and support. Whether you’ve helped someone in group, or you’ve whispered some kind words to me, or you’ve spent time helping me fix stuff or build stuff, or you’ve supported my work in some way, I thank you. I thank the Fashionistas who’ve worked hard to help people in-group and personally. I thank the Building Crew who’re helping me to build City Noir. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Hello 2009. May SL be a better place. May we be able to TP.

But most of all, my dear reader, may you find more meaning, and more happiness, in 2009. Be that your family, your friends, or whatever makes you tick.

*Raises glass*

Now, there’s another option.

For those who want a quick-and-dirty way to decide whether they wish to update to the latest Cuff or Gag, without wading through all the lists of bugfixes etc., they can simply go to the relevant gear page:

If you have problems with deleting owners, or manually adding owners, go get the HUD v.5.00.03. Details here. Again, thanks to Lanita Wingtips for discovering the bug.

No need for re-setup if you’ve already got a v.5 HUD, just choose “transfer” at the Welcome menu.

Remember, first-wear might result in some Mono errors (an SL feature!). Just follow Smart Reset 2.0 instructions and it’ll recover.

Also check out the known issues (in the unreleased bugfixes) on the What’s New cuff page (which you can also access via “/1.help” and hitting “latest fixes”).

Otherwise, if you find something amiss, send me a bug report with details on how to reproduce it.

Luv, Lulu

This fixes the nasty “Fatal SL Asset Server Error:0” issue, which eventually happens after you do a force reset with the v.5.00.00. This issue didn’t surface in pre-RC testing, but a wider group of people using the HUD during RC stage flushed it out. Thanks to Lanita Wingtips and Lyoness Rossini for the bug reports.

You don’t have to setup all over again If you’re upgrading from the v5.00.00 AND you haven’t had the SL Asset Server Error yet. Just choose “transfer” from the welcome menu instead of “SETUP”.

If you’ve had the Fatal SL Asset Server error, then sorry you need to setup all over again 😛 – don’t transfer from the broken v.5 HUD.

Get the latest HUD from the RC boxes.
