dang, i was asleep at the wheel! Justin announced OpenSim 0.7.5 was released on the eighth!
. . . contains a very large number of features and fixes with many improvements to user inventory, scripting, mesh importing, archiving and an update to Crista Lopes’ Hypergrid 2.0 protocol . . .
in short order, Crista will release a new version of her Diva D2 Distro and Sim-on-a-Stick will be updated after that. once the D2 Distro is updated, you’ll also be able to run Crista’s Updater function on any existing versions of Sim-on-a-Stick
stay tuned . . . =)
YahoooOOooo!
NPCs can now move within the entire area of a megaregion rather than being stuck in the ‘root’ 256x256m area.
osGetNumberOfAttachments() added to return the number of attachments given a list of attachment points.
(btw Ener, I sent you an operational watermelon handheld cannon :D complete with your awesome build) Randomly shoots coconut drink instead of watermelon (configurable).
Now I can update it, when i get the energy, to use osGetNumberOfAttachments, and actually attach watermelon bits to the avatar’s arms legs etc if there aren’t any attachments there already :D
hehehehehe

The first thing that came to mind about that watermelon cannon was “Can it be configured to shoot cream pies?”

Is that cream pies instead of coconut drinks or cream pies along with coconut drinks or cream pies every so often and coconut drinks every so other often?

Uh, hmm, well its like this. I went to this website called iliveisl.com and saw this really exciting post about the new release of OpenSim. That post kindly included a link to the release notes, which I followed and …TahDAH, I saw a bunch of neat info about what was in the new release. There was a bunch of really cool stuff, but two things caught my immediate interest.

LOL, we could make the cannon shoot complicated gobbledygook if you wanted. We would just need to decide what that actually looked like in a generic sense.

Maybe there are different flavors of complicated gobbledygook: sciency, techy, artzy, dramaz, electricaly, plumbingly, ah, what else?
