The server team is not going to be making changes to the current system; they have said the cost of doing that, the additional load on the servers, etc. is not worth having more accurate z values. Much better for them to put their efforts on more important changes, etc. Now, given all that, the LL viewer is about to catch up to what the TPVs have been been doing for some time. It will use Z data for avatars near you, so if you are at 2,000m and someone is not too far away then your mini-map will show a proper height icon. The other part of that change will be to show an "X" if the relative height of you and someone else is not known (no more down pointing chevron for group of people standing around together at 2,000m). _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
