Then I give good suggestion for Linden Lab, change this package with ZIP and then all becomes just fine.

Oh dear

Well...I tried, and I fear that's about as far as my patience on this subject can go, lol.

So..umm...good luck with that

But I still dont believe there is not tool for showing package content and rezzing only one object from package. Its sound exactly the same way as "you cant look inside ZIP archive and extract only one file"....its just weird.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt one last time, and assume that you genuinely don't get this, rather than that you're being deliberately obtuse in an attempt to troll us.

You seem unable to grasp two basic concepts that people are trying to explain to you here:

1. Linden Lab cannot just "change this package with ZIP" (or any other similar system) without rewriting a ridiculous amount of code architecture and probably breaking a great deal of legacy content.
2. A ZIP file is a single container that holds many objects (eg: a single linkset that holds many prims - to use an older SL building term), whereas a Second Life coalesced object is a collection of many containers that hold many objects (eg: many linksets that hold many prims).

Try this thought experiment. In it, you are alone and have nobody else to help you with the task that you're set:

1. You are carrying one shoe box containing lots of small items. The shoe box is unlabelled. You have no idea what's in it. This is your ZIP file analogy, from which you can open and extract a single file. (I don't know which archiver you're using, by the way, but I most certainly can extract a single file from a ZIP.)

How do you find out what's in it?

Answer: You hold it in one hand and use the other hand to take off the lid.

Now this one:

2. You are carrying a stack of 15 shoe boxes, piled on top of each other. (Don't drop them!) Each shoe box contains lots of small items. The shoe boxes are unlabelled. You have no idea what's in any of them. This is the Second Life coalesced object: many containers (linksets) each holding many objects (prims).

See that shoe box fourth from the top of the pile, right up near the ceiling? How do you find out what's in it (without dropping the boxes all over the place)?

Answer: You can only find out what's in it by putting the boxes down (eg: rezzing everything) so you can find the one that you want to look inside and open it.

If you still don't understand why Linden Lab can't just "change with ZIP" their entire inventory architecture, then I don't know what else to say to you, and I'll have to assume that you're either being deliberately obtuse, or you're just... well...

Im old assembler programmer, for me dont exist "just cannot program". For me all is possible. Its bad programmer who say "its not possible"

Many people on the forums are programmers Ernesto. Maybe more than you could imagine. And we see how fraught with danger your proposal is. This is a 15 year old database structure over many terabytes, and it contains real money. People get angry, very angry, if their real money is lost.

 

Yes, anything is possible, but a bad programmer is one who doesn't plan their changes and just rushes in with dirty boots like a hobbyist.

 

The Lab have a list of changes planned for the next few years, things like EEP and Animesh, enhancements to the baking projects and more. Maybe one day they will do a system to peek inside a conglomeration, but it won't be for a very long time, and it would be done with a lot of planning, proper change control, and a lot of PIV.

 

[Ernesto Perez]

When you program things correctly, nothing becomes lost. Im old man now, but I see nr1 problem with young programmer - not imagination. Its because they use interpreted languages. They think something can lost, they can only choose between choices, they are not itself designers. And then things becomes lost also in reality.

SL is written in C++

And you clearly have no more idea about it than a horse and carriage maker does about electric cars.

Its not my job, I dont need to know this, its Linden job and its not interest me. Me interest only rezzers and now I think I plan in future further develop my rezzer, to next version, but not soon. Or maybe I start writing ORB instead. Because I like ORB-s.

I nearly always prefer to give benefit of the doubt, even when the vast majority of evidence suggests I ought to do otherwise.

But this is most definitely where my oh dear, surely applies. 

Your trolling skills, they are a pity

I've read some of Ernesto's posts in this thread, and I read some from the 'land' thread that was linked to, and I've arrived at some things that I suspect about him. He said that he's quite old, that he can programme in Assembly language, and he also he indicated that he thinks people programme in interpreted languages, so here's what I suspect about that...

He is quite old now, and he wrote small programmes in BASIC and Assembly - back in the 1980s! BASIC was the most popular General Purpose language at that time, and it was an interpreted language, but it became a compiled language in the 1990s. Since that change, I doubt that anyone has written in an interpreted language, but Ernesto thinks that such languages are still used, which leads me to suspect that he was just a kid, who played with programming on a home computer back in the 1980s, that he hasn't done any programming since then, and that his claims to be a programmer really mean that he wrote some small stuff a very long time ago - just like millions of other kids did at that time - both BASIC and Assembly. I ought to point out that the cleverer ones wrote in machine code at that time

I don't fault his thinking that good (RL) money can be made in SL. I imagine that most people would think that if they hadn't come across it, because SL does not give the impression of being a serious money-maker. But, through the years, some people have made some very good money here. I used to make between US$4000 and US$5000 every month, and others have made, and are making, much more than that. Mostly, though, like Ernesto, nobody would suspect that it's even possible.

My last suspicion about Ernesto is that he loves to argue, just for the sake of it

I dont know Basic. I know only TASM, MASM, Borland C and Borland C++ and thats all. Ok, now also LSL and all. And I wasnt programmed, except LSL, since year 2000 no any line.

Now you can be computer scientist, in Second Life game!

[Phil Deakins]

So it was just C and Assembly. Then why did you even mention interpreted languages? C was never an interpreted one. Perhaps you were never all that into programming and didn't realise that interpreted languages went out with the ark. Still, going only from what you've written, my suspicions were quite good, don't you think? I was very proud of them. I thought they were on a par with Sherlock himself

Hmm..I programmed Borland C in the 90’s. Borland Pascal before that. Old f*rt is old! (Referring to myself.)

[Phil Deakins]

I bet I can beat you on the age thing, Love

I didn't start programming until the mid 80s when home computers came out, and I was far from being a spring chicken then lol. I haven't stopped programming since then. Over the years, it's always been my main hobby, and sometimes it's been my livelihood too.

Because interpreted languages are crap (they produce crap software) and for using them longer damages also your logical thinking and imagination. Its 100% sure.

I started keying in programs on the HP at my dad’s office in the late 70’s, but I was in my early teens then. You beat me at the old game!

Normal programming is in OOP (object oriented programming) with inline assembly.

But nobody has used them since BASIC became compiled, and yet you posted that people still use them. You're only almost 30 years of date, so you either didn't know through never really being into programming, or you intentionally chose to be objectionable.

Incidentally, interpreted languages were never crap and never produced crap programmes. They ran more slowly, that's all. You really don't know anything about it, do you?

OOP is good. So what's your point? For all the world itI looks like you're looking stuff up on the web and posting what you find as though you know stuff. That's my latest suspicion about you.

Incidentally, in the 90s I wrote some very major hybrid programmes in 'compiled' BASIC with both what you call 'inline assembly', except mine was inline machine code, and called major chunks of machine code. You're not scoring any points here. You know that don't you? Especially since you don't seem to know anything much about it all.

Believe me, they are crap and when you use them, also you becomes crap. Just believe me, I dont lie. Interpreted languages lost programming dynamic. They just stuck in place.......But about LSL. Its no problem. Because its just game, entertainment. Its not work. LSL is fine when you dont work anymore and want something that only remembers you programming, just for nostalgya.
