    EEP Finally Out!

    the question has already been answered by Linden in the EEP implementation. Our viewer will only use a estate, parcel or Experience environment when we enable: Use Shared Environment

    well.. that changes things then for me. I might have to try the viewer more to see how it feels. just I could not find the shared setting before, since its now moved to the world tab, where before I believe it was in preferences.

    it is true. Just have to login to the viewers (Linden standard and Firestorm EEP Beta) to see that it is as I described in first post

    seems as if it does have the shared setting, but the big question is will it stop ek's from changing the setting. I dont like the idea that ek's could push changes against your choice.

    the Firestorm EEP menu and debug settings are the same as the Linden viewer. Both viewers do the same things in the same way. They enable us to choose to control our viewer environment as we want it

    not sure if that is true when it comes to eep.. especially since the eep viewer for fs is only a beta.

    is best to have a play with a EEP-enabled viewer and you will find that it does what you want

    with Linden viewer then menu: World \ Environment \ Use Shared Environment is by default enabled. When enabled then our environment will change according to the parcel EEP settings

    to have a constant environment then same as before. Menu: World \ Environment \  Midday | Sunrise | etc.  When set to say Midday we can also modify this (change it up a bit) with menu World \ Environment \ Personal Lighting.  Or if we have created our own environment sets then menu: World \ Environment \ My Environments. When we do this then our viewer will not change to the parcel EEP settings

    if we want our environment to persist across logins then is same as before also.  menu Advanced \ Show Debug Settings \ EnvironmentPersistAcrossLogin = TRUE

    I use fire storm and in their current eep beta there does not seem to be a way to stop it unless I missed something. if there is I might give it another chance if not.. then no. I dont like apps that think they know what I want to do and make changes without my choice in it. i dont care what some sim/parcel owner thinks is cool for eep.. most of the time i just keep mine on mid-day all the time. I dont care for it or need it or want it to get dark or have weather or anything like that..

    Suggestion: Add Emojis buttons to viewer!!

    Yep, so that is where word of mouth would come in and how well you could convince your friends to convert over to the different tpv, thus raising its use numbers and thus making other tpv developers realize if they want their users back, they better think on adding it too or loose users.

    Unless it really only mattered to the one using it and they didnt care if others seen it correctly or not.

    Is there a way to ignore thread? (and undo a misclick)

    1) Is there a way to ignore or block specific threads like you would put someone on your ignore list?  Apparently the "Mark site read" is not that function as it marks the whole forum as read instead, which I do not want.

    2) Is there a way to undo the "Mark site read" after clicking by mistake?

     

    even if you were to ignore a thread, if you are mentioned in it or had posted in it and someone quotes you, you would still see it. just like you cant ignore or block the forum reactions from showing up.

    I can understand the arguments for moving with the times, attracting younger users etc., but despair of the way in which technology drives us to modify our behaviour to suit the technology. One result is an inevitable dumbing down of language, which increases our ability to communicate rapidly but seriously decreases our abilities to communicate effectively.

    It was the deficiencies of the technology that spurred the situation on. When the number of characters you were permitted to use was severely limited, the use of abbreviations became essential. The use of other ASCII characters to represent emotions was probably a natural extension. These deficiencies no longer exist but the deficient languages persist, despite there being no need for them to do so.

    We have seen the folly of emoji use on many occasions in this forum; examples are surely not required here. Perhaps one example, in general terms, may be worth examination though. Consider the following responses:-

    * That was so funny; I nearly split my sides! 

    * I couldn't help giving a wry smile to that.

    * That was so ridiculous that it was just laughable.

    * I shouldn't really laugh at that but it was funny!

    OR

    😃 instead?

    I suspect that emojis are here to stay but you no longer have to use them. You are now free to say exactly what you mean, if you are up to the challenge.

     

    yes you would loose some of the context of what was being said, but see the point is you would get to chose who you talk to anyways and just could stay away from those that used them.

    you can already use them, just not in the simple click manner. you can still just type them out.. so its not really that much of a change or additions, just that each client would need a button or to add the image for the emoji to the viewer.

    On this I am split in choice for several reasons. having them would allow greater freedom of expression for some people those who dont prefer to write every single thing out in in text. "smiles, laughs, cries," etc..

    but on the other side I can see where this could become abused and over used by a lot of people, especially in gestures and other things.

    Voice chat?

    It's been a very long time since I've been in SL, but i have noticed that not many people (very few in fact), use voice to communicate.

    I actually quite enjoy chatting with people but I'm finding it to be a real struggle to find places where people also enjoy voice. Any ideas/suggestions?

     

    Its because not a lot of people like to actually voice or get nervous. A lot of people prefer text where you dont have to worry how someone might think about how you might sound on voice.

    EEP Finally Out!

    Until I see a way to lock eep to what ever I set it and prevent any changes from outside sources including ek's I think I will stay away from it. I dont like having my settings changed without my choice. ek or not, it still should be user choice if they want the change allowed or not.

    this is where windlight still is superior in my opinnion. the fact you can turn on or off shared windlight preventing it from being changed by entering a sim or parcel that might have different settings.

    sure some people are going to say that takes away from the immersion.. but i could care less.. immersion is not the be all end all of reasons for everyone that plays sl.

    If I want to stay at midday every place I go to it should be my choice and not the sim or parcel or ek owners choice.

    i derender most obnoxious items anyways on sims. so any weather system I would be wasting time trying to derender  the clouds and what ever else it had. you can keep your ambiance and lighting and forced immersion away from me.

    What is Wrong With SL?

    Pretty much anything else, I'd have at least noticed I wasn't wearing pants.

    There's a lesson here for us all. Always wear underwear.

    Thing is most of that does not matter, you can derender a lot of things except for system layers so anyone could make you naked to them if they wanted unless you had on system layer outfits and used alphas to hide things underneath your clothes. which not a lot of people think about doing..

    Discord...how is it used by the SL community.

       To me, Discord supplements the in-world communications quite well. It's a bit like an intermedium of the forums and the in-world chats in many ways. And it's uncensored, so I can swear freely! 

    only uncensored if the server admins allows it or they might just delete your comments if they find them not appropriate. which is why a lot like it. you cant do that with sl groups or local chat.

    plus you can delete your own comments taking away any log of what you said in pm or in the server if allowed by the server admins.
