Yay! Congrats

Now it’s time to add Imprudence to the Third-Party Viewer Directory and, of course, start working on the difficult task of adding the SL 2.0 features to it

Nice festures, but i has not be able to run it properly on windows vista 32 bits. Neither the regular win version or the optimized one.

Running quad core intel @2.5ghz, 6gb mem, geforce GT8800 on Win7.

First thing I noticed about this build, I couldn’t get RLVa to work no matter what, but works first time for me on this build (biiiiiiiig plus for me)

On the downside though, it seems to run around 50% slower on the FPS side of things. Same settings, jut 50% slower

My thanks & congrats to Jacek (the ‘most visible’ team member ? ; ) et al for the great work !

I ’stumbled upon’ Imprudence while playing with my own ‘private’ (OpenSim) grid and apparently hit some ‘disconnect’ between every other viewer I tried and the sim (apparently some confusion about a ‘teen grid’ bit ?) – once I put underwear on my avatar I could neither edit it nor take it off. An odd ‘reason’ perhaps, but a wonderful bit of serendipity in that it lead to my discovery of Imprudence.

Aside from managing to resolve my ‘immediate’ challenge, I’m really liking other features already – the ‘avatar scanner’ in particular (which nicely exceeds anything possible in an LSL scripted HUD), to name one.

Also love the ‘manifesto’ – and the general approach towards such things that I’ve read so far here… ‘talking-up’ the project (realistically) while avoiding ‘trash-talking’ the ‘competition’; that always comes across much better.

One strong suggestion – a ‘gotcha’ I encountered early on… perhaps emphasizing what’s needed to get voice working more clearly at install time ? (I added an edit to the wiki for that btw, correcting the list of files that need to be copied for windows installs.)

Thanks all for the great work – *really* hoping y’all keep at it ! I’ll certainly keep ‘nudging’ all my friends to switch to Imprudence – *definitely* my favorite viewer now !

Be well & enjoy -

– Jake

@Gwyneth: you were right about the typing animation bug being caused by opening the preferences. Part of the Preferences > Chat tab wasn’t merged correctly, which caused certain missing options to be set to false when the window was opened. One of those was the typing animation checkbox.

For anyone who wants to fix the nametags in the meantime, the workaround is to delete your settings_imprudence.xml file.

I’ve noticed the same thing that Gwyneth has, and it is pretty annoying. I had thought it was a deliberate change, but I guess not.

Other than that, The merge test build for 64bit Linux works very well. Runs with very good performance and stability on my system.

Something I noticed in the 1.2.0 Imprudence and the latest Meerkat, and still exists in this Imprudence: when teleporting from one region to another on OSGrid, one which is somewhat distant but still within the normal 4096 region teleport distance, upon arriving the deepest parts of the terrain do not rez, some objects do not rez, and the water is missing. Other viewers such as Hippo, Snowglobe, Emerald, and the LL viewer are able to display the same scene properly when the same teleport is tried.

Ok, it seems that the Typing Animation gets reset to FALSE when going to Preferences. I believe this is now reproducible as a bug!

Might that happen because the latest versions of SL have a checkbox for the Typing Animation on the Preferences (and thus all associated code to handle setting it to true/false) but Imprudence doesn’t add that option to Preferences, while still keeping the associated code? It’s just a wild idea, i haven’t checked….

Have the 32-bit linux version running under gOS just fine. Cheers again on a fine piece of work.
