I have been doing a little bit of copying over; having both 3.6 and 4.1
browsers and using a macro to copy and paste my contacts list from in 3.6 to
in 4.1 a contact at a time.

I noticed that while doing this, seemingly at random, the entire tabs
dissapear, leaving the tabs window completely empty, not even the tabs
header remains.

I have to say though, build 950 fixed every lag problem I could ever
imagine. I am getting about 140 FPS and AW 4.1 is running fast as lighting
;)

Thanks AWI for fixing it so it runs very fast now. All that's left now is to
start fixing up bugs. I hope everyone else's lag problems were fixed. lol
this comes after a night where 4.1 was insanely slow on my computer and
lagged me to no end, but thank gosh 950 was out this morning.

I agree, I have about almost double performance in most areas, its great :)

Plus, so far my computer hasn't frozen up tight after leaving 4.1! I tried
everything I did before when it would freeze and give me 'illegal
operations' and everything went thru! Was holding my breath the whole time
too.

I myself am seeing an enormous frame rate improvement over the previous
version. I'm actually able to fly around dense areas on 200 meter
visibility and get excellent fps :D

Yeah, I went through the heart of SW City in 200 vis and still got really
good FPS O_O

When saving a config from particle emitters etc, or using the object type
box, the object thinks it has changed even though the user has not changed
anything.

Should be something on Beta NG from this where we studied it last year.

ok I just went AFK for 4 hours on AW, then came back (had 9 programs
running). I was sitting in the middle of AWTeen and when I came back, I was
able to freely move around with no lag (60+ FPS). That is considerably
better than 3.6, because with 3.6 when I went AFK and came back, I had to
restart the browser because of the buildup of all the lag.

<3 build 950

The object dialogs still fully rebuild each time, even if the object type is
the same or even if you click on the same object again.

Can I suggest (as a coder, to whomever is listening) that each layout is
stored on a dialog frame, and they are switched between rather than doing
the delete / rebuild / repaint nuke style.

Long avatar lists are no longer split into multiple menus side by side (no,
not the tree) resulting in having to scroll (at a very slow rate) through to
get to the end of the list.

Can be fixed by individual OP managers, would be easier for all concerned if
the browser were smart enough to pop them side by side so they fit.

Yes, sort of annoying, esepcially since you cannot walk through the list
by using PGUP and PGDN and neither can you go to the end of the list by
scrolling above avatar 0. So when you are unlucky and your avatar is at
the end of a long list, it can take a minute or two to go there...

About screen no longer shows the licence notifications for things like WMP.

Looks cleaner, but arnt these required as part of using WMPCore etc?

Velocity sticks when moving quickly, then selecting an object.

The velocity indicator shows you at your last velocity rather than update to
zero.

The toolbar at the top of the object properties dialog is clipped, and cuts
off a button half way, presumably there are other missing buttons.

Doing some messing around with movers, and here are several bugs I have
come across. Some of these may have already been mentioned, in which
case, I'm just confirming their existence. I'll reply to this post with
more if I find any.

- The following fields do not have any documentation:
Detach on Bump
Disable Auto Yaw
Disable Move
Looping
Seq File
Use Object Tag

- There is no way to disable the "Add on Bump" feature. If the "Single
Rider" box is checked, the "Add on Bump" checkbox becomes unchecked, but
the Add on Bump feature remains active. Otherwise, the Add on Bump
checkbox is automatically checked and there is no way to uncheck it.

- As a related bug, if the "Single Rider" box is unchecked and "Add on
Bump" is checked, you cannot uncheck the "Click to Start" box. If this
is intentional, then it should be documented. Otherwise, I don't see why
a multi-passenger mover can't be started when the driver bumps into it
rather than clicking on it.

- Changes to Waypoints are not saved unless the entire Object Properties
panel is closed. This can make editing Waypoints tedious.

- The Pause column in the Waypoints table can only be edited by
double-clicking on it. With all other columns, the user can press Enter
to go into Edit mode and move around the different fields with the Tab
or arrow keys. If the user navigates to the Pause column while in Edit
mode, they will leave Edit mode and have to double click the Pause field
to edit it.

I think "Add on Bump " means to add another person. So u don't need single
rider checked unless u only want 1 rider. becuase it already knows there
will be a rider with the ability to add another rider.

That's not what I meant. If you have Single Rider unchecked, then you
*have* to click on it in order to start the mover. But if you have
Single Rider checked, you can actually start the mover by just bumping
into it. I don't see why it needs to be that way.

[View Quote] The way I've understood them:

> Detach on Bump
Enter a name of an object, built by the same citizen as the mover.
Then when the mover bumps that object, it detaches all avatars.
Like if the object has "create name stop", then you would enter "stop" here.

> Disable Auto Yaw
Mover does not rotate to face the direction it is going.

> Disable Move
Rider can hop on the mover but not move?

> Looping
The waypoint sequence loops continuously. Be careful not to let it rise through your avatar...

> Seq File
Gesture that the avatar displays while using the mover.
Like for my cars I put sit there (for sit.seq), so the avatar sits inside the car.

> Use Object Tag
You can define some polygons as tag 300 in rwx, or tag name aw_mover in cob.
It defines where to click on the mover to get attached to it.
