Black Dragon Update 2.4.0.1 'Feedback Update'

After collecting some feedback from several posts, blogs and other sources i could find i was able to identify some problems and change or fix them.

So here's a list of what has been changed:

Added: Coordinate display to minimap.
Added: SIM Name display to minimap.
Added: Debug to toggle between local SIM coordinates or entire SL world coordinates.
Added: Alternative variation of the button texture for dropdowns fixing the missing 1 pixel space.
Changed: Renamed Grids to Main Grid (Agni) and Beta Grid (Aditi).
Changed: Use White_02 color for Scroll list backgrounds.
Changed: Draw black backgrounds for N S E W displays to make them always visible.
Changed: Overhauled World Map floater layout.
· Changed: Moved controls to the bottom.
· Added: Button to slide out legend.
Changed: Login Panel layout slightly to match the new button texture and server name changes.
Fixed: Inventory Filter floater has no background.
Fixed: Notification System Tray button vanishing on lower resolutions causing all sorts of problems.

The update will soon be available, so keep an eye out and keep the feedback coming.

If you wonder what i call proper feedback -> EchtVirtuell or Modemworld , posting it on your unknown blog somewhere in the internet doesn't help you and especially not me. If you got anything to say, do so either in my SLU post, Forum or here on my Blog or at least link me your Blog when you write something there or IM me inworld -> NiranV Dean.

Black Dragon Update 2.4 Beta

So.

start sarcasm
It is finally happening, many weeks of playing all kinds of games, eating, drinking (ice tea), working on my AO and doing everything else except working on my Viewer finally comes to an end! Many hours have been put into anything else than my Viewer and you will see the difference!
/sarcasm

Let me get this straight, right from the beginning.

THIS.
IS.
A.
BETA.

It's NOT yet done. I just felt that i have held this update back for far too long, i finally want to share what i have been working on the past weeks. You will see a gigantic amount of changes, literally everything (and i shit you not) has been changed, hopefully to the better of course. Many floaters have been re-sized, re-aligned, filled and generally overhauled in functionality and reliability, i chose an uniform layout which i will forcefully squeeze into every floater from now on, you will notice that as soon as you open the first few floaters.

Apart from those crazy interface changes, many small things have been changed and fixed as well, being unable to write /s or /w gestures without the Viewer auto completing it to /shout or /whisper is one of many of those small changes.

__________________________________________

I will need a lot of feedback on pretty much everything everywhere though, all those things i changed look totally fine especially since i know what they do and what i want to do with them in future which somewhat biases my opinion about it. Note though that feedback like "OMG OMG OMG DIS IS SO AWSUM" or "DIS IS UGLY BS CHANGE IT BACK" will totally not help. I chose a direction and i will keep it. I want constructive feedback about how stuff works, not how you want the UI to look like. Short: I want bug reports. Proper ones. Reports like 'im constantly crashing pls fix' will not help either. I will need detailed info on what you did (pressed a button, a tab, opened a certain floater etc) as well as your crash log file. Note that i will most likely NOT fix crash bugs coming from LL that are buried deep into the rendering engine or something similar. All i can do is fix surface stuff, the user interface and most of it's code, keep that in mind.

I will continue working on finishing the rest of the interface as well as fixing bugs, adding new little features and generally polishing every area before i move on to the next big project, tiny tip: Skin.

There are 2 versions available.
The normal one is the latest one i had before i merged it with Linden's Release and the 'Current' one is the version merged with Linden's Release, expect unfixed problems when using the 'Current' one.
