Alwin Alcott Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 i might be missing something, but do we really need to place new pics in the profiles? The sizes seem to be changed... grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shireena1 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Groups have gone missing from the chat tab, too, I mean just saying. Anyway, it seem my SL fps has remarkably improved with this newest FS viewer, but I will have to test that on a busy sim to properly find out.

Ceka Cianci Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Sounds kind of interesting, they could do away with the online profiles as far as I'm concerned.. I never liked them.. Legacy Profiles: The official Second Life viewer has transitioned back to the integrated profile floater, abandoning the less-popular web profiles for the profiles we have always retained in Firestorm. Accordingly, Firestorm profiles no longer have a web profile tab. While Linden Lab’s implementation was based on the Firestorm profiles, Linden Lab changed the presentation considerably, with older features such as the “interests tab” having been removed. Also the local mesh sounds nice for creators. I still think I'm gonna wait for the feedback wave before I update.. That'll be showing up in about every group come sun up..hehehehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Pole Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 LL went to a 1:1 aspect ratio with the new (old) profiles and FS followed suit with the most recent update so the old 6:4 aspect pics look a bit squashed yes and will have to be redone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Luminos Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I've also noticed that any old profile pics that were previously uploaded on the web now also show up on Firestorm very blurred and low-resolution, as though it's being taken from a small thumbnail instead of the original image. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that on the current version sometimes.. Sometimes they are fine and sometimes just blur. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had crashed and came back on and it showed empty in my groups tab, then looked where it tells you how many you have left.. it said 0 used 70 left.. Luckily i had this happen another time and didn't freak out like the first time.. hehehe A relog fixed it.. I guess it can happen on a crash or failed teleport.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shireena1 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hmm, just an addition to my comment above. I actually have 2 pcs that can go on secondlife, the one in question that had no group tab in the chat tab ( actually didn't have the group tab there at all), I did a full uninstall/reinstall of the viewer, and now it is ok. Strangely enough, the other pc just did an upgrade and it was ok. well anyway its all going well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessicatz Fairymeadow Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Textures that are 1:1 ratio like 512x512, 1024x1024 will show in profile as 1:1 ratio. Textures with 2:1 ration like 1024x512 will show with 13:10 ratio (approximately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm curious, is this version running better than the last one? I know quite a few had troubles with the last version.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click micro freeze is fixed in this one (it was really awful in the last one), some little fixes here and there, separate transparency view toggle. No reason not to upgrade. And people always going to have problems with any and all versions. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pretty fortunate to have a good run in viewers working out well for me.. Have you noticed if the delay is gone when in the edit tools and moving things around? I know the last version was terrible.. you couldn't really do much detailed things because of lag every time you went to move something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was quite bad. It was fixed a while ago on the FS' release candidates (before current one got promoted to be the main release), and on this release version it's all good as well. Building/editing anything was impossible like that, so I did swap to the beta FS back then. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not noticed it on the new update (it was infuriating on the previous version!). However, that's from a sample size of moving maybe 3 things around total, without the need for precision. So happy to be overruled if people are experiencing it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I kind of like what they did with the mini map.. Now it shows the Sim lines as well as the lot lines. That should help a lot with flyign and boating and driving around and so on.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only minimap change I noticed so far is that your camera's FOV indicator has gone cone-shaped rather than triangular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember them showing on the minimap when I toggled Show Property lines on although I may be mistaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the sim lines a lot better now. Nothing like a good happy accident. Now, I wonder what will be the unhappy accident that balances things out again...hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezbeharra Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Well I'm much happier with the 1:1 profile picture but I'm pretty annoyed that LL removing the old web profiles also took away the ability to upload a 1:1 profile picture for free. I don't like groups being under the bio text. That's weird and difficult to get used to. Maybe I'll get used to it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zounds! If you don't have horizontal profile pictures how can you write your name vertically at the side of your picture in a purple poster font over your swirling orange cloud background? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't upload to your inventory but just your profile. The little gear to the left of the photo...upload. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's new to firestorm but brings it up to what the LL implemented recently. ETA...don't quote me on that. I wasn't paying attention to when it changed either.
