Script Limits - what is the current situation?

The only way to find out is to attend Babbage's Office Hour Wednesdays from 3am2009-09-23T10:00:00+00:00 to 4am PDT at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ambleside/232/18/22/

I don't recall seeing anything official on the topic since http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Babbage_Linden/Office_Hours/2009_03_18

Thanks Ann, I was hoping I wouldn't have to read back through the transcripts to catch up.  Oh well ... I'll just leave this open to see if anyone else has put 'the story so far' somewhere.

Last thing I saw ( and maybe it's somewhere on the transcripts) but the 1.30 server has some code to monitor the script usage of the avatars so they get an idea on how to limit it.

 

so this would be a good time to have everything on, even if it means lagging all of SL

[Indeterminate Schism]

Lol, yes Roberto.  For the next month or so everyone should be running all the scripts they can so the baseline measure of script-use is as high as possible

Hi, not much has happened.. so not to worry.  You're really not out of the loop.  However, I thought you might find this thread useful since it is other SL residents discussing the same issue only a few weeks ago.. http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=337734  The thread also has a few quotes from Babbage Linden.  Hope this helps.

[Indeterminate Schism]

Excellent Vryl.  I'm even more embarrassed now though; I should have seen that one when I looked through the scripting forum.

Does anyone here think the script memory limitations will break much existing content?

/me *shudders*

[Indeterminate Schism]

I don't think it will break "much" content because that would be almost instant suicide for LL, rather than the lingering death by a thousands cuts they seem to prefer.  On the other hand if it doesn't break "any" content there wouldn't be much point in introducing it.  The intention is to restrict the heaviest users.  As yet, though, there are no authoritative details on even HOW scripts will be limited so it's really too early to say whether it will be by memory in the end, as Babbage Linden has mooted.

What's the latest news on Script Limits? I haven't heard anything for a while and that's usually a bad thing when it comes to LL.
