Second Life Server

[Caleb Linden]

In an upcoming server build, Linden Lab has changed the way agents and their attachments get carried over in the event of a region crossing. And we need your help to test region crossing in a pile-on fashion.

On Wednesday, December 19th at 16:00 PST (Pacific Standard Time) please join IRC (EFNET -> #sltest) to launch Second Life and join us via the following SLurl GC Test 9

For those, who would like to bring their testing objects over to aditi, please pack them up and drop them off on 'Sandbox Goguen' (AGNI) by 15:30 PST. I will then import that simstate to its ADITI counterpart.

The details of the tests are here

https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Threaded_Region_Crossing_Beta_Tests

In the meantime, please let us know if you need access the the test regions mentioned on the wiki or have additional questions.

Will we be needing to use the official viewer or do you want TPV's also?

Will you be providing the Mesh Vehicles for us to use during the test?

Do we need to be a member of a special group as we had to in the last Pile On?

Will we all get "I Survived The Pile On" badges afterwards?

Dear MrCaleb

Please excuse Echo from Phys Ed this week

Unfortunately the time of the Pile On clashes with my UK schedule, and I won't be able to make this one.

Love and kisses

Welcome to the forums

/me waves at Perrie - and remembers I owe someone a msg.

[Hagalaz Nilsson]

Vehicles, too?

That'd be the way to test region crossing. Two words: AIR SHOW.

Heh,

H.

Hi Perrie,

"Will we be needing to use the official viewer or do you want TPV's also?"

Since this a backend change, you may chose to use the official viewer or TPV.

"Will you be providing the Mesh Vehicles for us to use during the test?"

I have dropped a really generic mesh vehicle based on the Library Kart.

"Do we need to be a member of a special group as we had to in the last Pile On?"

Just make sure to become a member of the Second Life Beta group

Please, let me know if there is anything else to be sorted out.

Thank you,

Caleb

Hi Caleb,

can you please confirm that the pile on test will be at 4:00 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)?

I thought daylight saving time ended on the 4th of November and we are currently on PST (Pacific Standard Time).

[Dilbert Dilweg Contributor]

It will be 4 PM Second Life time  (Pacific)

[Davido Chrome]

Argh, that's 2 AM for me. I cant come, because if I go to bed that late I will be late for work the next day. But I am very interested in any details!

[Caleb Linden]

Thank you. Yes, it is PST.

[Caleb Linden]

Also for those who cannot make it today on Wednesday 4pm PST, feel free to poke around the regions and use the vehicle or moving devices from your personal inventory.

I also encourage you to try out different kinds of attachments to test that region crossing doesn't fail.
