Disclaimer

Black Dragon is MY Viewer, i decide which feature i want to add and which to remove, i share this Viewer to show the world that user base size is not important, i do rate quality by effort, thought and love put into the project, not some rough estimated numbers. I consider feature requests only if i you can name proper valid reasons i can agree on. It is my (unpaid) time i'm putting into this project, i'm not here to cater to every Joe's desires.

Unleashing the Real Power of Kirsten S20

Since Kirsten released S20 im working and modding on every edge of the UI , my focus lies on Graphic Panel , the importanst Panel in a Graphic based Viewer, soon everything from S19 will be in S20 too + some M.O.R.E like Shadow Resolution, you can control how precise your Shadows will be rendered , Shadows will be calculated by your Resolution X the given Factor , means 1680 X 1050 X 3 = 5040 X 3240 Resolution, that means .....your FPS are too low *caughs* hihi , i got 4 FPS on Factor 5 , heres an Example Video of it , showing the Power of Global Illumination and Shadows five time Precise as normal:


AND if thats not enough here are some very cool Screenshots showing the Power of Global Illumination + Sky and Lighting Tweaks, looks like Godrays to me (whooo Crysis) Awesome heh?

Fullscreen tests

HAH, i got Fullscreen to work again.....most ^^
You have to follow the Instructions in order to get Fullscreen running as far as i got...
Instructions:
1. Start Kirsten S19 (379)
2. Log in to Second Life and press ALT + Enter and wait until your UI and the World gets Fucked up in Fullscreen
3. Make Sure you arn´t under Water , THATS TOTALLY EXTREME IMPORTANT! - because Kirsten will crash 1000% if your under water
4. Make sure you have something to Tab to on your Desktop, IE,Firefox,WMP or something , NOW switch back to Kirsten, everything will get reloaded , and your UI should be fine now, like the rest, then go to Graphic, select your Desired Resolution (to come in next version, again....) TADA you are in Fullscreen! , but remember its experimental, i cant guarantee that it doesnt crash all the time.... and avoid switching between Desktop and Kirsten.....a known SL Problem that it will crash on some point...


Im putting the Fullscreen options in there right now again , because Resolution stucks at 800 x 600 , maybe you can change them manually in the Settings.xml´s Good Luck!

Niran? Special!

1. Who is Niran?
-NiranV Dean or called Niran in Second Life is a jung Fur , he travels trough Second Life or hangs around with friends and if he gets bored he starts Building or Editing something...

2.1 What exactly does Niran in Second Life?
-Searching for new Friends , and his Love , Building useless Stuff like Weapons....Thousand of HUD´s or starts Thousand of Mammut Projects.....RPG Games....Systems...and even Boardgames...

2.2 Ever finishes one of those Mammut Projects?
-Not really....they´re in my Inventory and waiting to be ressurected

3. Whats about those Kirsten Mod´s you´re doing?
-Well...like i said im getting bored very fast, and whats better than Modding Kirsten´s Viewer to give it even a better "look"?, right nothing, i have Fun Modding and Tweaking some Aspects of the User Interface and i love Buttons and Options :3 more Options = more Invidualization = more Fun

4. And...does Kirsten like them too?
-Seems like he likes them too, its Time and Work he havn´t to do

5. Wow how do you do such things?
-with Editing some XML Files, and since some versions , Textures too

6. What are you doing the time you arn´t Working on your Mod?
-Mostly im on a German Furry SIM and talking, over the dayle Furry like Apocalypse xD

7. Why isnt Antialiasing working with your Mod?
-Because i set it to the Forground , (took it out of the Hardware Menu were it would work) and (since some versions) disables /took it completly out and replaced it with a ? icon that Explains how to Put Antialiasing to on in your Driver Settings

8. Can you script something for me?
-Maybe, depends on what you want, Thermonuclear Weapons and Ion Canons....should be no problem, they will take a bit but i think i can do them, RPG Systems, yes and no , everything that runs Local works and can be made, everything Serverside NO!

9. Can you build something for me or help me in other Ways?
-Yes , just ask me , im always happy talking to someone :3

10. Why are you nacked on most of the Pictures shown?
-Because i can :P, its my "life-Style" in Second Life, i dont like clothes they dont look cute with most of my Avatars

Version 2.1 Released

After many hours of working and translating, then testing it on a fresh installed Kirsten S19 (377) everything seems to work perfectly, 2.0.9 was a big Translation Update for Kirsten , many Important things that were thrown away were translated into German again!, 2.1 is a big ATI Update, it re-do´s many aspects of the ATI Skin, adds my Nvidea icons in a matching color to it and changes some colors like the Scroll bars so they wont look like carrots.

Have Fun with it and if theres something you wish to be translated just drop a comment, i try to get it Translated if its possible.

Here are some cool Screenshots for all who cant see Kirsten in his full Settings or just have to use other Clients because the Render Glow Touchable Function slows down their PC´s:

2.1 What will it look like Preview!

I made some extrem changes to many things, added the (already in NVidea) new Icons and recolored them to match ATI, i generally changed the Colors of ATI because they were extremly too bright like the scroll bars etc its a bit darker now, have a look at my allmighty Work! xD
