Black Dragon Viewer - Update 2.4.4.6 "Preferred Preferences"

Today i'll release the last update of this year.


This update's main topic will be the preferences panel which has undoubtedly become a bit... of a mixed chaos. While the display preferences tab has gotten quite some upgrades and consistency changes, all the other panels were left out... until now.

I spend quite some hours doing some consistency changes to all the other preferences panels, swapping out dropdowns for radio buttons, making sure checkboxes have 0 pixels padding to the one above, changing all title colors, rewriting some labels and generally changing the layout to that of the display preferences panel, including the addition of a huge bunch of "default" buttons for all sliders as well as the ability to write the number directly, there are still a few exceptions like the general tab which has dropdowns due to coding reasons, i will be swapping out as many things as possible in future updates to make sure the preferences UI becomes as simple as possible by only using a very limited set of UI widgets that everyone should be able to understand easily, a nice side effect of this is the opportunity to add more "danger" and "default" indicators to make it even easier to quickly identify where problematic options might have broken something for you.

Here's an example of how the panels have changed:

Another obvious change you will most likely notice immediately is the reactivation of the login screen videos, coming with a new video, as always.

Fitting to the end of the year, the name of this new video is "This is Black Dragon - 2015", it could have been "was" but then again it would be unfitting for the time it was uploaded at, still in 2015. You can watch the video here as well, in full HD and in 60 FPS.



You will notice some other minor changes and probably some bugs, report me any you can find, the biggest misc addition you might notice is the ability to right click rigged meshes again, hooray for that, the camera flying off into the distance should be fixed in this version.

All other changes mostly include merging up with the latest Linden Release code and the Maintenance code which includes a tiny change to icon downloading that should hopefully delay the appearance of the famous "Texture Trashing" problem until there's a proper fix for it.

This update was suppose to include the Bento Project, for those who don't know, it's the extended skeleton with additional bones for wings, face, fingers and so on. I was on a working version at the meeting that was held right after this Project was announced, sadly i was personally asked not to include Bento in my Viewer early on and on the possibility of my Viewer getting removed from the TPVD or worse, getting blocked alltogether or even my account getting locked, i chose to not include it. If you want a Bento Viewer that is not the official one you will have to use Cool VL Viewer. I asked for an explanation as to why this would be a problem, i didn't get any specific answer on that. All i can say is: My Viewer does not support mesh upload in any form, therefor the only thing my Viewer could do with the Bento Project code included is... watch other people... with fancy graphics. I chose to exclude mesh upload a long time ago because i do not want people to upload with a Viewer that is not the official one simply because i do not want people to upload something that could look and work differently on the official Viewer and therefor for everyone, i don't want to be responsive for broken or "specific" content released upon the grid. There was/is already a discussion about LoD's, Mesh Uploads and Firestorm that looked like Firestorm could be held responsive for allowing Mesh Uploads with their possibly different handling of LoD's in conjunction with Settings. Someone saying "because of your different graphic settings creator X Y and Z are creating content that looks broken or causes framerate issues for everyone, including yourself" is the last thing i want.

Black Dragon Viewer - Update 2.4.4.5 "Going Places"

Fixing the broken, protecting the fixed, i am the terminator of... bugs. *crunches a bug under his feet*



This time i got some work done on the places floater which i broke (intentionally) in the last release, it was in a catastrophic state before i broke it, the broken version was actually the good one, i just couldn't let you see it... you can thank me later.

The aforementioned fixes for the places floater were basically everything that were delaying this update so i had to get it done... even though it was a total pain, layered layers for layering layered layers in layers... you get the idea...

This update is really important as it also contains 2 crash fixes, one for a random crash i was experiencing (and you most likely too) due to leftover code that triggered a nuclear chain reaction in the Viewer, making it blow up violently as soon as certain avatars, objects, prims... whatever else it was, came into your draw distance, the other one for a crash 100% reproducible whenever you right-click while in either zoom/pan/orbit mode in the tools floater (build window) or when in object view mode in the camera controls floater, the camera controls floater thing was really tough... it took me just 50 builds to figure out a proper way to do it that works, as always the solution was as simple as it can get, so simple i would have never found it, hooray for having a nose for things like this.

Next up were the broken values for Avatar Rendering Complexity introduced in the last update, i'm sorry for that, it's the reason probably EVERYONE is always just appearing as jellybaby (or not at all), when merging with automerge i didn't see that the LL Viewer sets a default value for the new ARC debug, it was 200 because the LL Viewer sets the ARC limit depending on your general graphic preset which my Viewer doesn't have anymore, i raised the limit to the proper value of 120000, that means the probability of your friends being derendered is lowered by approximately 15%. Why only 15% you ask? because your friends are most likely resource hogs and have a much higher ARC than 120000.

This needs some explanation, first off you should read the Avatar Rendering Complexity wiki page LL made for this feature to get an idea what this actually is. Basically every avatar's "weight" is calculated, it depends on how much attachments he wears, how many prims it has, how many textures, which features does it use (glow, fullbright, materials etc) and so on, the more ARC someone has the more render resources he takes up, higher numbers = bad. If the avatar goes over your set limit, which in the case of my viewer is by default 120000, he will be rendered as impostor or "jellybaby", sort of like a 2D sprite if you know what that means, basically he will be derendered and use almost no resources, that feature is in place to A: protect you from evil graphic crashers and B: from hardware hungry framerate killer avatars like your friends or your own avatar (probably). Don't worry, your own avatar is not derendered for you, just for others with this feature enabled...oh did i say enabled? You can't disable it. That's right, no on/off toggle. I could make one but i'm sure LL is going to get soft and make one anyway, basically throwing this entire feature into trash, yay! So why did i set 120000 and not some other arbitrary number? All my avatars move in the range of 30000-150000 and as you may know i'm a furry, i wear quite some ARC heavy stuff, some of it stuff i can't just take off to reduce my ARC because it is my head, or my leg or my tail, they are however, still somewhat easy to get below 120000 if i wanted to (i don't want to because i don't use them anymore, they are old... sculpt... look like shit, you name it), also most normal avatars i see have an ARC below 120000 as well, so 120000 should be a good limit, it seems like something high enough to see low to medium weighted avatars without showing the ones that tend to tank your framerate. My current ARC is at ~36000, that should give you an idea and for those who don't know i look like this:

around 26000 of my ARC is my hair, 6000 my body and 4000 my clothes.

Additionally to the ARC value and limit there are 2 more limits set, the avatar size in bytes (8000000 = 8mb by default) and the maximum object surface an avatar can have (100m² by default), i'm not too sure about the size yet it might be a super miss, it isn't all that important but the avatar surface can play a huge role, very high surface m² can mean the avatar is wearing a shitton of textures or huge prims or might even be wearing a graphics crasher.

You can of course find the options in preferences - display - performance options and change them as you like, you can also right click someone and select to render someone always fully but i highly recommend you not to raise them all too much higher, higher values means heavier avatars means less framerate.

You can also check your own values and those of others around you with the now called "show avatar complexity information" menu entry in Dragon - Useful Features - Performance Tools.

It will display you the information like this:

Avatar Rendering Complexity

Rank

Surface m²

Size KB

Here's a snapshot from the last post to show you how it looks like.

I hope that clears up your invisible avatars issue once and for all, i'm sorry i didn't explain that in the last update where it was introduced.

Guess that's it for today, have fun with the now less crashy/buggy version.

Black Dragon Viewer - Update 2.4.4.4 "Cutting Shadows"

Cutting and dangerous, they come in 3 flavors.

Sharp, sharper, dismemberment.

So after a long month i finally got around my lazyness and found some time in between Guild Wars 2, Dungeon of the Endless, Awesomenauts and Fallout 4 to work a bit on the Viewer, it's mostly small stuff but i got some plans for some bigger things.

Starting off with the most important news here, the Viewer is fully up-to-date with the latest LL Release, Chromium Embedded Framework Project Viewer (aka Valhalla Viewer) and the QuickGraphics Project Viewer, these were a huge amount of changes alone but you know as well as i do that i can't just update the Viewer and make an update, i have to do some changes, so let's get to them.

The preferences floater, specifically the display tab has seen some overhauling in the last update, this update will iterate on the previous changes and hopefully make it less pain in the ass to use, tabs will now save their toggle status and the scrollbar won't extend too far anymore. Also, there's a checkbox to toggle if tabs should remember their toggle status. You'll also find the new preset save/load/delete buttons and the selection dropdown there, they are still a bit rough, i think they allow deleting the default preset but that's ok, that's what the monstrous amount of default buttons are for.

The picture also shows the new quick preset icon in the topbar that allows you switching between your presets quickly.

While we are on the topic of display preferences, i added the option to control projector shadow resolutions separately from sun shadows, that means that you can now pull the resolution slider a bit higher for either of them before the Viewer goes poof, i managed to go to full 12.000 x 12.000 projector shadow resolution, the shadows were sharper and better than the original, i could also do a 4k snapshot with 8.000 x 8.000 projector shadow res, you can see the pictures in the snapshot section of this post, here's just one:

Amazing.

Also... Tone Mapping has changed, drastically, Drake kept annoying me that Tone Mapping is horribly broken until i turned in and fixed it, the difference can be seen in the following comparison:

Original (left) | New (right)

But don't worry, i did a first rough pass at changing all sliders to make it look like the old style, sadly the grey-ish-ness that is present in the default rendering is now visible in tone mapping as well...just slightly... but it's there and it horribly annoys me, i'll probably do some more finetuning in coming updates.

The rest includes some misc fixes such as profiles not requiring to log in anymore, missing strings, depth of field and ambient occlusion being greyed out, layout changes to the login panel and so on.

I have no idea if the crashing is fixed i couldn't test it properly, nothing crashed me, no time...

Merged Project Notice
MAINT-5370 FIXED [Notice] Hard to operate with notification window controls
MAINT-5414 FIXED Viewer crashes after opening Group info panel
MAINT-5425 FIXED No icon is shown for certain transaction notifications.
Merged with RLVa, massive broken Viewer time, again.
- fixed : wearing something while an inventory link is pending will detach the attachment and potentially leave an unworn COF link
- fixed : questionable code is questionable (aka LLAttachmentsMgr::checkInvalidCOFLinks seems redundant)
- fixed : LLInventoryCallback::fire() is called with the NULL UUID when creating links using AIS
- fixed : attaching a rezzed object delays attachment link creation by 5 seconds
- fixed : don't start creating links to attachments until LLAppearanceMgr::setAttachmentInvLinkEnable has been called
- internal : partial backout of Appearance-SyncAttach to ease the big bird merge madness
- fixed : scripted items that machine gun fire small force-wears (e.g. Sub Suit) can cause some items to not get worn

Black Dragon Viewer - Update 2.4.3.9 "Maintenance Update"

Update time!



This update contains a bunch of fixes, both from me and LL, it does sadly not contain the new RLVa changes yet as i totally wasn't in mood to merge then and manually go through my Viewer and fix all things again, i'm a lazy bastard i know, that's why this update took so long.

The 2 most important changes in this update are the addition of the missing join group button for Project Notice and the official version of mesh selection. That's right MESH SELECTION. It adds official mesh selection (that looks exactly like that i already had from Kitty Barnett. She even got credit for it) but contains one important fix for one of 2 problems. Right clicking a mesh has rarely worked because the meshes surfaces did not update for the right click raycast, that means even if you right clicked on a mesh, the chances that you just shot your right click into the void or an object behind what you actually wanted to right click was really damn high, this will be no more. The remaining problem (very similar) that you alt-cam zoom through rigged meshes is not fixed yet tho but will hopefully be either by LL or by Kitty or by myself. (Shouldn't be too hard now that we know a solution)

Other than that, low level fixes everywhere, stuff you will most likely not even notice.
