2016 beta4

Thank you again everyone for all your support during the beta progress.  I believe there will be probably a beta5 and possibly a beta6 before production.  This release had a huge and painful thing happen every scripter hates which is the preset save/restore script ran out of memory.  I had to create a second script and work out a way to push data back and forth between two scripts.  It was about 20 hours of unplanned work.  lol  but i think its back up and working and working well. It also gives plenty of memory so i won't have this problem again (knock on wood).

We have had 29 beta reports given and this release coveres several of them.  Beta 5 will address the rest.

We had 3 beta testers get confused about the unlock button.  I'm going to rework the icon on the interface to be better.  But when you restore a camera preset your camera position is "locked" and even if the avi walks around the camera wont budge.  pressing the unlock button on the preset card (bottom right) unocks your camera.  I also have the camera unlock on a teleport.

Keep the beta reports coming.  Even if your report is "things are great" that helps.


Beta4 fix list
  1. Added second script to give more memory to save presets
  2. Display names vs unique names used on display for projector, give lights, and HUD model display vs 
  3. Preset eye animation save reports "not set" if eye animation selected then stopped now as expected
  4. Backup server now allows restoring presets from a friend's server.  Just have the friend click the backup server and restore presets to their hud.
  5. Sit ball won't move more than 20 meter from where rezzed.  This is good when you start at a skybox and then try to restore a sitball position on the ground.
  6. Sit ball preset save wont save if the avi isn't actually sitting on the ball
  7. Sit ball no longer sizes as expected
  8. Sit ball no longer responds to touch for movement
  9. Camera position is calculated only after the sitball has been moved.
  10. Restore will attempt and warn if the camera was restored in a different sit ball state than the restore
  11. Region names with spaces in them now work on the advanced preset/teleport
  12. Projector restores all light/bulb/gobo settings even if position is not able to be restored
  13. Adjust click position on sliders advanced to allow triangle to bring out advanced similar to presets
  14. Help about "light details" removed color/sliders/advanced reports all the same information and reduces local chat
  15. Minor hud distortion making buttons not round fixed.  The hud looks like it went on a diet.
  16. "pick me up and wear me" display text only displays while on the ground and not when worn (allows greater hud movement)
  17. Misc spelling errors fixed
  18. Animation preset save working without changing models.
