Update: MvtPlayer v2.2

Today we released an update to our MvtPlayer scripted system, which has now reached version 2.2.

This new releases focuses on enhancing compatibility (I should say "tolerance") with foreign scripts that pause a keyframed motion independently of MvtPlayer. In that case the MvtPlayer will now detect it and wait for the motion to resume before processing the rest of the motion sequence.

This was primarily intended to enhance compatibility with AVSitter, because as a new pose or animation is played by AVsitter, it needs to use a direct positionning function (probably related to adjustment). For this to work the keyframed motion must be temporarily stopped. Version 2.2 should accommodate for this in most situations (as it is kind of a tolerance, it cannot be perfect).

Users who bought MvtPlayer from our Marketplace store will automatically get the update from LL. Buyers from our inworld store will get the update directly from me.

Please visit our dedicated website for all details regarding MvtPlayer, and do not hesitate to contact me for any question, problem, constructive criticism...

O-Radar v1.0

Today we released a new product: the O-Radar.

As the name suggests, this is a gadget that will help you detect people arriving. It differs from classic radars in a few key points:

• no range limitation: it detects avatars over the whole parcel
• 2 possible setups:
• Standalone HUD: designed for individuals, just wear it and you're done!
• Rezzed detector and transferable Remote HUD: designed for clubs and venues to let the staff know when a new visitor has arrived.
• special care for people who are back after some time (1 hour by default). They are mentioned in a specific message.
• Messages include a link to open the person's profile in the viewer, but the messages can be changed in the configuration notecard.

In the second setup (rezzed detector + remote HUD), a single detector is to be used over the whole parcel and communicates with all remote HUDs. This ensures minimal lag in this situation while allowing many people to be informed at the same time.

A few configuration options are available:

• Message format: you can completely rewrite the message said when someone enters the area, or is back
• Scan rate: by default a scan is performed every 5 seconds but you can change this value
• Remember time limit : set for how long information about people who left is kept. When this time is elapsed, they will be considered new again.

Of course default settings are very reasonable and you can just choose to use them without any modification.

Ease of use, low lag and reliability where the top priorities when developing this product. It's now available at OSI marketplace and inworld stores.
