[opensource-dev] Draw Distance will not be automated
This has gotten a bit out of hand... We are absolutely not going to automate draw distance. This got started as a speculative discussion that forked off of the draw distance slider in which I asked whether or not it might be possible to create a system that _if_explicitly_requested_, some smart software could look at what factors in a users configuration might be changed to improve FPS and advise the user on changes that might improve performance. While DD might be one such parameter, the system I asked about would not be an interesting contribution at all if it were the only factor, and I never envisioned a system that would actually change anything automatically - it would inform and educate the user as to what settings changes might be made to improve performance. ___ 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
Re: [opensource-dev] Is it just me? Avatar textures downloading last.

No, she didn't change to an all gray skin and outfit. 8-) This is, unfortunately, not new behavior. I've seen it on and off for at least a couple of months but have not been able to pin it down. If we could organize an effort to 1) improve the instrumentation around avatar bakes, and then 2) hunt down the problems and stomp them, it would be a major win. I'd really like it to be true that by the end of 2011 no one in SL needs to have the "what do I look like to you" conversation any more. ___ 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
Re: [opensource-dev] Draw Distance will not be automated
Draw distance never makes a significant difference for me. Strange actually, cause I think it should... But it's not a very important factor it seems :/ Something that seems to correlate a lot with a low FPS is the number of avatars that have to be rendered.

I adjust DD based on network traffic and rez times more than FPS. Also, that "DD" logo someone suggested... isn't that TM Marvel or whoever owns Daredevil? :) ___ 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

Re: [opensource-dev] Review viewer -- draw distance slider
Sorry for the late response, I've just gotten the chance to test this as well. Looks and works great, seems intuitive. I love the popup notification (as well as the ability to choose not to see it again next time). I also experienced a short delay on the Mac client, though the delay was only a few seconds.
