Queen concert @ Club Carnage

Tonight we had just a fine concert with Bad Ampitude covering Queen at Club Carnage ! Many thanks guys !

Freebies to direct delivery

I just transfered my freebies from my magic box to the new direct delivery system now available on the marketplace. Currently this includes :

• ShowHide script
• ShowHide-Multi box
• Touch & Glow scriptbox
• RezzerSync 1.0 (boxed)

Please let me know if you encounter delivery problems.

All other (non free) items are still being delivered through my magic box. They will be migrated later.

The only difference you, the buyer, should notice is that items delivered through the Magic box arrive into your "Objects" folder, where as direct delivery puts items into the new "Received items" special folder.

Photo Projector 1.1

Here is an update to the Photo projector for sale at Oggy's scripted items.

With this new version 1.1, you can still display a virtually unlimited number of photos with a nice cross fade effect, with many options and menus. Please see the original article to read about the main features.

What's new is mainly the use of the new physics facilities introduced in SL (along with meshes) to make the beam phantom-like (but not really phantom, see the tech note below), as well as the screen when the projector is turned off.

Buyers of version 1.0 should have received version 1.1 as a free update. To update, either toss your photos and configuration notecard from version 1.0 into the new projector. You may also wish to write down your coordinates and orientation from version 1.0 to rez the new version exactly where your old version was.


Tech note : making a child prim phantom was never officially supported within SL (see here). It could be done by exploiting a bug in the server software through a dedicated script, but this might not work anymore some day. I chose to use the new physics engine to achieve the same result as a phantom child, but without hacking :). Just declaring that the prim should not be involved in any collision-type treatment.

RezzerSync 1.0 plugin for Oggy's Rezzer

Here is a new plugin available for Oggy's Rezzer (version 4.0 or higher) : RezzerSync 1.0, free of charge at Oggy's Scripted Items maketplace store.

With this plugin, you will be able to "synchronize" several rezzers together. This means that when one rezzer rezzes an object, other rezzers from the same "group" (see below) will be told to unrez their objects.

This will help to keep prim usage on your land to a minimum. A similar feature already exists within the rezzer itself (option rez_linkedrezzers) but requires that the rezzers be linked together, which imposes some (spatial) restrictions. With the RezzerSync plugin, the restrictions are gone and your rezzers can be scattered all over the sim...

In order to organize the rezzers into independent groups, as well as to prevent unwanted interference with your neighbors, the plugin supports one plugin option :

!!RS_groupid=(anything)

Only rezzers with the same group id will be synchronized together.

Please contact me to report problems you might encounter or to ask for features you may need...

Happy new year 2012 !

I wish all avatars around the grid a very happy new year 2012 ! May you find happiness and all you wish.

This was taken at the great Crazy Diamond club.

Plugin updates

The Vendor, Statistics and Emailer plugins for Oggy's Rezzer all received an update. Here is a summary of changes. Vendor and Statistics are separately available at Oggy's scripted items (Emailer is included in all packages), as well as in the Vendor bundle for Oggy's Rezzer.

Emailer version 1.1 (updates from version 1.0) :

• New option EML_incomingcopy that forwards all incoming emails to another email address (useful for debugging purposes).
• All email addresses now get their spurious spaces removed.

Statistics version 2.1 (updates from version 2.0) :

• Spurious spaces removed from email addresses from the configuration notecard. This will solve problems related to email commands not working because of an extra invisible space at the end of the line.
• Avatar legacy names now allowed in option STA_allowedtalkers, in addition to user names. This means you can use
  

  !!STA_allowedtalkers=Oggy Fink

  instead of the still valid
  

  !!STA_allowedtalkers=oggy.fink

Vendor version 2.1 (updates from version 1.1) :

• Complete rewrite of the code handling the VD_sale option, causing a dramatic reduction of memory consumption.
• email addresses now get trimmed off spurious spaces.
• Default announces supported through a new VD_defaultannounce option.
• VD_salemsg now supports %n as a placeholder for object name.

I wish a happy new year 2012 to all avatars around the grid !
