SL’s broken setup again :P

If you’ve tried to setup the Signature Cuff or Gag in the past 24 hours or so, you might have found it stalling right after pasting the item into the “~ LULU” folder.

Looks like SL’s broken it over the weekend, probably linked to the emergency maintenance…

I’m working on it right now, and will let you know once it’s ok to set up again.

Gotta love SL.

sigGag HUD v5.4.1 Release Candidate refresh

I’ve just refreshed the Beta box (the white box just inside the door of the Secret Warehouse) with HUD v5.4.1 Release Candidate.

What’s new:

  • some bugfixes. Yes you should get it if you already have the HUD v5.4.0 (you don’t have to re-setup if you don’t want to, you can click “transfer” at the setup screen to transfer your v.4.0.0 gag over – but only if it’s a v4.0.0 gag)
  • better setup: – now the default LULU folder is at the bottom of the inventory rather than the top – it asks you to use “ctrl-c” and “ctr-v” which is slightly faster than rightclicking.

Where to get: Get the HUD v5.4.1 + v4.0.0 Release Candidate at the white beta box just inside the Warehouse when you enter.

Enjoy!

xoxo Lulu

Thanks  Elkestra Twilight for testing and breaking the HUD + gag, and to Kitty Heninga for the bug report.

LULU Signature Gag v.4.0 Release Candidate is out!

Finally.

The Signature Gag v.4 Release Candidate is out.

Key features are:

  • no-AFK for Trials, shorter time requirements. The v.4 Scoreboard can only be updated by v.4 gags. Trial time requirements for all Circles except First Slave is reduced, in view of the new no-AFK requirements. No-AFK time pentalties are random, but will generally increase with each successive infringement on the same Trial.
  • Zap 2.0 New zap features (for Adept Circle and above).
  • key: sub’s owner can use original key even with new setups/re-setups.
  • new anims.
  • new shortcuts. “/1g–” removes gag. “/1g” calls up menu if gag is already worn.
  • used gags can be worn from inventory. Great for no-rez sims. (You can re-wear them from the bottom of the inventory, but it’s better to copy one used gag from the bottom to somewhere safe, and wear from there).
  • Easi-setup 2.1 is faster, more anti-borks built in.
  • new RLV Gag options. No-IM now optional. IM exception now up to 6.
  • – various bugfixes, big and small.
  • – improved menus, contextual help etc.

Setup changes: paste into “!  LULU sigGag v.4 Boxed Set” folder. Recent SL bugs have made it necessary for workarounds (see here and here). In HUD v5.4.0, the workarounds are built into the setup process. This makes the process a bit more of a hassle than it was. Unfortunately the Linden assigned to fix it is going on vacation and won’t likely fix it anytime soon. Welcome to SL. 😛   To put some semblance of pressure on the guy when he returns, please go the SL JIRA and vote (you need to login first) and don’t forget to put it on Watch (otherwise they’ll assume it’s just “fake” voting).

v.4 Scoreboard: The new v.4 Scoreboard is out. It’s quite empty, so anytime you finish a Trial now, you could get your name there!

Whilst Release Candidates are voluntary, there are *huge* stability improvements over the older v4.13 HUD. I’d encourage you to get a copy and give it a spin.  Remember to report any bugs/typos.

Where to get: To get the Release Candidates, go to the Secret Warehouse: right at the doorway are the “Beta” boxes. Click those and follow instructions.

Enjoy! Lulu

Many thanks to Elkestra Twilight for taking the time to beta-test the v.4 gag, and for finding the bugs!

All Signature Gag v.3 Best Times Truncated to 24h

As announced earlier here, here and here, as part of the new Signature Gag v.4 (free upgrade from v.3) plan, all Signature Gag v.3’s best times (high scores) over 24h will be truncated to 24h.

This will happen sometime tonight, or perhaps tomorrow.

You will not notice this unless you reset your HUD (“/1.quickreset” or “/1.reset” etc.) or setup a new HUD.

You can only go above 24 hours with the new upcoming v.4 gags.

Stay tuned for the beta.

xoxo, Lulu

Gag Scoreboard and PLUS Cuff Scoreboard are now offline

In line with the previous announcements on the upcoming v.4 Signature Gags, the Top20 Scoreboard will be taken offline with immediate effect. This will allow me to conduct tests on the v.4 Gag.

What this means:

  • the Gag Scoreboard will no longer accept updates from v.3 Gags. (This won’t affect anyone whose best times are less than 81 hours)
  • when the v.4 Gags are out, the Scoreboard will be wiped, and will start accepting scores from v.4 gags.
  • your Circles will not be affected.
  • when the v.4 Gags come out, any Best Time over 24 hours achieved with a v.3 gag will be automatically truncated to 24 hours. This will happen later.

The v.4 Gags are long overdue, and besides a few new features, will work very nicely with the v.5 HUD, which has stabilizer features built in to counter the rather finicky SL world we live in.

As for the PLUS Cuff Scoreboard, I must confess I goofed.

I accidentally took the inworld server to inventory. That means that future updates will not work, because if I rez it again it will be given a new UUID by SL. But then again,the PLUS Cuffs have been superseded by the Signature Cuffs for some time now, so it’s not such a bad idea to conserve sim resources by taking it off line.

So, here they are, for posterity:

XOXO, Lulu
