2K textures,
performance improvements,
even more performance improvements.
You name it. We got it!
Sorry for the long delay... a lot has happened, financial troubles with Patreon slowly dropping forcing me to take on comissions to make up for the missing moolah to keep the lights on. When i get around to record the update video i'll talk a bit more about this and explain the situation. In the meantime, enjoy this update that has been WAY too long in the making.
and you have still failed to add RLV.. bruh this shitty ass viewer
ReplyDeleteI'm not "failing" to add RLV, i'm deliberately not choosing to add it. It's supposed to come downstream from LL anyway, merging it now would be pointless.
Deletei use your viewer primarily & i love it so much, but i havent been able to update because you took RLV off & I own a hookah lounge & our hookahs use RLV, & i know a lot of people use collars with RLV hopefully theyre able to update whatever it is you require to add it back to BD keep doing what youre doing, your viewer is awesome!
DeleteWe are supposedly getting it officially... so probably sometime in the next 3 eons or so... you know... LL.
DeleteThe convenience and importance of RLV for most clothing and higher-end menu usage for me and many others is integral to the viability of this viewer. I understand that you're fed up with RLV having bugs or poor implementations, but it would make a lot of those in the community (myself included) very grateful to have back, and would love to even see a single-update or alternative alpha-version viewer with RLV added back in to make the viewer usable again, as I miss the other handy functions and pretty graphics upgrades and waiting 3 eons to be able to use your viewer again would be a shame!
DeleteThanks for your hard work and consideration.
Hi Niran, don't hang your head. Even when things are going badly, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. You're doing a great job and I've been using your viewer for a few years now and I can tell you put your heart and soul into it. Keep up the good work and don't hang your head. Good things take time.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the BLACK DRAGON firstly because of its performance. For example, I can move my avatar immediately when I log in, even if the environment has not yet been rezzed yet. (With other viewers I would come to a standstill for a while).
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I appreciate its graphic quality. I have produced almost all my little movies with this viewer. (There are currently eight movies, I shot with BLACK DRAGON, a ninth is on my editing table.) ✿ In addition, the FlyCam runs smoothly even in the basic settings: Inspiring!
has anyone been experiencing freezing and then forced back to wherever you rezzed?
ReplyDeleteThe freezing is most likely coming from your inventory loading (if its shortly after logging in) otherwise there might be random freezes when the Viewer is bombarded with all kinds of things and stalls on something taking a little longer. They should clear tho after a couple seconds. Another freeze is also when you change any of the major graphic settings (due to the shader recompiling... sadly... i need to do something about those... again...). It also shouldn't "force" you back to where you rezzed (whatever that means, unless you are talking about lag)
DeleteHow do you make the viewer bigger its tiny now
ReplyDeleteChange the UI size, i'd highly recommend not doing that however. People have been reporting changing the UI size causes your right-clicks to be offset (despite having fixed it and being unable to reproduce it). I'll have to look into it for the next update.
DeleteHow do i cahange the ui sizer in black dragon i checked in settings preference but i don't see it there
Deletecheck again, its one of the very first options
DeleteIs hover missing?
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't. Hover is still in your right-click menu isn't it?
Deletesitll was not able to find it. I can't see the sl time part of it is chopped off the search bar is blocking it
DeleteHuh? Search bar? SL time? I'm confused, what are you talking about?
DeleteHover (shape) can be found in Right-click -> Edit Appearance.
Hover Height (global) can be found in Right-click -> Hover Height
The SL Time is displayed at the top right in your topbar.
These two things have nothing to do with each other.
This is a great update visually and with respect to squashed bugs. But I noticed I can no longer pose animesh that I own with this version. It was a cool feature for SL photography. Will we be able to pose our animesh again in a future version?
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing this report a lot. Its one of two issues that keep getting reported that i fixed as part of the 5.2.0 release....
DeleteI'll have to have a look into this again too, for me its working just fine...
The viewer won't even load up to even try to log in. I did a reinstall on everything required and nothing works. Please someone help
ReplyDeleteOn everything required? Did you MANUALLY delete everything and then reinstall the Viewer? DO NOT trust the uninstaller, it is NOT enough.
DeleteMan i need to start making a video guide for this.
mouse right click isn't working at all for me in the update , cant right click myself to edit appearance , cant right click on pose stands to pose , seems right click is broken on everything cant use it to edit objects or anything. I looked in key bindings and couldn't find anything to fix this
ReplyDeletefound out the problem is the UI size, you either cant see the UI with all the chats being so small you cant read them , but you can use right click and edit. Or change the UI so you can actually read chats and see all the buttons , but then you cant use right click at all cause its way off centered like half a sim away type messed up .
DeleteKnown issues, its already fixed and will be in the next update. For now do not set the UI size to 4K (or 2.0x and larger). If you want something close to it do it via the debug settings and set it to 1.999 (yes i know its stupid but it actually works.)
Deletemain thing for me is being able to read chat and see the buttons , its all ant size, i have to set UI to Huge to be able to read anything comfortable. ive just been setting it to mid to move my pose stand and sit on it , then setting it to HUge , so i can talk to the people i need to. and just hopping back and forth as needed. Hopfully the update will be soonish.
