About clicking on rigged items here is the JIRA : https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-229845
LLab was about to include changes into a viewer, then suddenly went backwards
If I remember well, this setting is shunted in multiple places in the code, then no matter if you set it on/false in your viewer option it has no effect. That's why in first place I had to compile my own viewer, then I learned about the FPS drop issue and the fact that someone decides it was better to shunt it (why... ? I don't know. Setting it to false by default whould have been enough I think). When I started to work with RezzRoom I was really needing this feature because we often have to manipulate animesh, click on them, alt-zoom on it, etc.. often without those "helper" prims, and even with them it was painful. Then I wrote a workaround, shared the code and add some fixes when I found some special cases where there was still FPS drop.
I don't understand where this can be an issue if you have the choice. If I'm a creator and upload a new mesh I have two options :
I do as I'm used to, create my LODs (or let the viewer do it, probably set them to High/High/0/0 xD), upload the mesh.
I know there is another way to create meshes with another way to calculate the LI, I create LODs thinking about this fact, upload my mesh, drop it without carrying about the big LI I will see because I know I only have to activate an option and voila, my LI is OK.
Fun (or not) fact: I made an ambulance few years ago, when LLab started to talk about these new calculation rules that will apply to animesh in the first place then for all meshes, I made it with this in mind, I was so proud of myself, talking about this to everyone, talking to creators around me about what was coming, about how they will have to change their methods.... 2, 3 years (?) later this never happened
To come back on the main purpose of this thread (at least for me xD), I'm curious, what people think about the latest and incoming improvements of SecondLife ? Am I the only one thinking the "game" will be a bit more optimized and looks better (for those with a decent graphic card) but that's all, no way to improve our creations ? WE WANT MORE POWER !!
