1.38.1 is on its way out bearing:
  • Script Memory Reporting enabled for Viewer 2.0 Beta viewers.
    • View the script memory used on a parcel from the Script Info button in About Land: General tab. Parcel owners will be able to see per object details.
    • View the script memory used by your attachments from the Script Info button in Appearance when modifying your avatar.
  • New LSL Features
These have the potential to help quite a bit, but who knows if the worst offenders will change their scripting until forced by the introduction of script limits. They'd be smart to.

One day we'll get the mono fix, but until then there's a lot that can be done. Will people do it? I think we need education. Your average SLer with her 200 prim hair with a script in every prim, 200 prim shoes with a script in every prim, bling, ao, five huds all with multiple functions, scripted cat ears, collar, and god knows what else, just wears what she likes - and a lot of those things can be made much more efficient.

I do take it personally, as we were beaten to unholy hell at a number of live performances, when the show might just as well've not gone on at all. The TD and so on would drop to nothing every so often and even crossing the stage - opening the curtain - changing - anything - was impossible. If it hit at a particularly bad time the act was ruined. When it happened a number of times in a row the show was ruined.

It's hard to function in a small crowd now, harder than it was a couple of years ago. That's due to a few things (including copybot paranoia causing merchants to release no-mod accessories heavily scripted to resize and tint) but I hope the ones we can control from this side get addressed. It used to be a matter of common sense that one tried to be prim-thrifty, and yes, highly detailed things look better, but it comes with a cost.

Ugh, sorry - ranty.

Although it makes more and more sense to leave live shows behind and simply do machinima, I really enjoyed the excitement and unpredictability of the live performances; all things change ...
 
to paraphrase dolly parton, i don't wear any more scripts and prims than other avatars, i just wear them all at once!
 
Anyone remember hoochie hair that would *crash* your client? Ah those were the times
 
I remember reading about a dress that would crash a sim :-D

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
