Black Dragon Update 2.4.1.6 "New Years Update"

Happy New Year from Germany


I made you one last update this year, filled with some bugfixes, changes and little additions you may like.

This Update was primarily aimed at fixing RLVa which has become broken of the several past releases because RLVa wasn't ever updated again, i merged all the latest available sunshine external RLVa changes and went through code trying to get as much to work as possible, i made a few test runs with it via TiS and so far it worked, i can't promise it won't cause problems tho. We'll see.

Other things include an option to show the merchant inbox/outbox in inventory (needs relog) and a bunch of fixes to problems reported. Conversations shortcut was fixed (CTRL + T now), freezes on entering/leaving Mouselook have been massively reduced/fixed, the script editor window has been Niran-ified again, some new icons for the Navbar parcel properties have been done and changing the controls layout doesn't require a relog anymore. I might also take a look at fully rebind-able controls in the future.

Happy new year and stay tuned for more updates in 2015!

About the new skin recently introduced.

Recently the Viewer saw a massive skin overhaul (twice in a row to be exact) and so far the latest skin version seems to be fine for most people i asked inworld, my question here is, what do you think about it? Is it good? Does it look clean and readable? Did i promise too much with it? How does it compare to other skins?

I'll give you some pictures of my previous skins (in correct chronological order) as comparison in terms of my own Viewer but i would also like to know how good it compares to other skins from other Viewers or even separate skins like Hitomi's mods for Linden Viewers.

Note that most skins also came with huge modifications of the UI to fit the new skin, i'll want feedback of the skin itself not the actual skin modifications, please keep your feedback focused on the overall look, readability and so on.

2. Darkness Skin
