It's 2012. If this is seriously the official reason why SL's premier client can't support more than 8 bits of z-height data, no one's buying it, least of all professional software developers. I could have said that same thing for 2002 as well. Wake up people.. More than 1/2 of the grid is already working around this architectural deficiency via all manner of LSL-based hacks. What do you think the cost of that is compared to making it right? In one word: apalling and embarassing. As it should be. _______________________________________________ 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
