Terrain Textures Not Updating Live

[Gusher Castaignede]

Currently, have issues with terrain elevation texture editor which doesn't update changes after hitting apply button, regardless whether its with 3rd party viewer or official linden viewer... anyone else have this issue too? However, when teleporting out of the sim then returning few seconds later the changes then do occur...; 

[Qie Niangao]

The terrain textures are generated on the fly for each viewer when you enter the sim -- and what you see won't be exactly the same as anybody else, nor the same today as tomorrow.

I think, however, that what you're describing is more dramatic than that, and you know, after all the years I've terraformed, I can't honestly say whether the textures ever did update to reflect the new elevation or not. If it's changed, (As I think about it, I wonder if this could have changed with the introduction of Pathfinding; it would make some sense to hold off generating new terrain textures until the region is rebaked, if then.)

[EDIT: Reading a bit more between the lines, I think you mean you're changing the terrain textures in the Region window. I remember being frustrated when changing the threshold numbers and things didn't update as expected, but changing the textures themselves... not updating to reflect that does sound unusual.]

Been managing SIMS since 2007 and this is first time i noticed it, never happened before....the recent server updates must have really messed it up...

It's a recent viewer bug.

You can see a publicly accessible paste of it here

yes...very time consuming to have to tp out and back to see the result of the changes one makes...then make a further correction and have to leave and come back...got dizzy!

[Gusher Castaignede]

I did find a minor workaround, edit terrain mode, roughen or try smooth low setting...... after that results will come.

[Odelia Emmons]

Thanks so much Gusher...will try that!

With the JIRA being positviely USELESS in following isues, is there any timeleine for when thistexture problem is going to be fixed? 

[Ciaran Laval]

Follow it on the Phoenix Jira:

http://jira.phoenixviewer.com/browse/FIRE-8459

The reporter Whirly Fizzle, is very active on the Second Life Jira, i think Whirly is in the secret handshake club that allows access to the Jira and Whirly is very helpful.

Thanks Ciaran,

None of the offered workarounds give me any results. The constant logging in and out is becoming exuasting.

[Ivan Zadark]

was there ever any resolution to this? to see the results of terrain elevation changes i have to log out & back in every time.. i used to be able to see it right away. It is terribly frustrating! takes hours to do what should take minutes.

I am also having the issue, a friend on the old FS can see it n=but myself can not

 This isnt helping me at all. Even after a relog I cant see changes. Also I am using the official LL viewer

Please OMG FIX THIS. So damn annoying. Stuff like this that makes managing a region HELL should not go unfixed for months and months. And why can't we see the JIRA status anymore?
