ImpDev Meetups/2009-09-08

Summary
ImpDev Meetup for September 08, 2009.


 * Attendees: Armin, Geneko, Jacek, Kitty Barnett, Mm Alder. McCabe slept in too late and missed it, so we're going to paddle him next week.
 * Jacek has imported RLVa and Meerkat's object backup feature. Still some polishing left to do. Login manager is next on the list after that.
 * Object import needs some checks for permission to build here, and for texture permissions, among other things. (Also an option to import at the original location, instead of near the avatar.)
 * RLVa Windlight param commands didn't work for Jacek, but Kitty says they should be working. Jacek will investigate that.
 * McCabe has imported several Emerald features: Double click inworld to TP; Asset (texture) browser; Animation list; Fetch inventory at startup; Phantom avatar; and Sit anywhere.
 * Geneko was concerned about users accidently triggering the double click TP feature.
 * McCabe wanted feedback about other Emerald features he's considering importing: Show object's previous owner; New prim presets in the create tab; Set chat channel; Draw distance slider; Temporary image uploads.
 * There were concerns that temp image uploads are a bit of a hack, and may stop working or be blocked by LL some day.
 * Jacek suggested a partial replacement, allowing users to use images as textures locally without uploading them, for example applying them to prims or clothing to test them out. Other users wouldn't be able to see them, though.
 * Imprudence 1.2 is on schedule to be released before the end of September.
 * Possible future enhancement for RLVa integration. Start location at login screen is ignored if the account you're logging in to had a restriction set on that. It would be good to have a small pop-up notice after you login, to let the user know why the start location was ignored.
 * Geneko has some patches for improving Look At Last Chatter, not splitting name tags with a newline when there's no group title, allowing "(Away)", "(Busy)", etc. in nametags to be localized, and allowing libndof to support devices with more than 6 axes.
 * Jacek should make an Imprudence bear (like a Linden bear) with a little Imprudence T-shirt. Kawaiiiiiiiiii!
