soon old news: the lindens responsible for havok 4 implementation are going to add a nophysics/noclip mode switch in the client restrictable by parcel config

…You understand the reason it’s so lag-free and impossible to effect via physics is because you send and recieve NO UPDATES. The sim doesn’t know where you are, so it puts you nowhere. In return, you don’t know where you are, other than the sim you’re connected to, so you’re put nowhere. Duhur.

This isn’t useful for someone who wants to actually interact with anything in the world. You won’t see or hear or be able to build or edit or recieve anything at all. You’re just on an open connection to the sim so that you can buy land and shit.

A client with this would be useful to a human only if you wanted to sit in the middle of a sim and blindly converse with people.. Maybe. Get AIM, retards.

NO AGENTUPDATE = NO SERVER REPLYING BACK TO YOU = NO TALKING OR MOVING = GREAT FOR LANDSCANNER BOTS BUT BAD FOR STUPID SLFAGGOTS THAT GET TWITCHY IF THEY DON’T MOVE OR SAY SOMETHING FOR 10 SECONDS

One can’t see anything or anyone, or move at all, but can teleport

well if physics are disabled, you wouldnt fall to the ground. no gravity.

you’d move like a cursor in a 3d axis.

I agree, the article should explain HOW to experiment with turning off agent updates….I guess I need to explore the client menu a little more fully.

@ D3adlyCod3c (if you are reading this) when SL lets you back in : Script a tool that we can wear that will easily turn physics on and off. I would definitely give my hard earned Lindens for such a griefing-defense system. Posted by Lao-Tzu.

So does this make you have to fly at all times to keep you from falling into the ground? Is there a way to simply “limit” the physics so you can still walk on things but not get bumped by them?

It really would have been good to have someone that actually knows about SL and it’s code write this instead of a cut and paste of a simple conversation. Heaven forbid actual information be conveyed in a SLH article!!

“Honestly, you PN troll so easily. Proof positive that the PN think the whole fucking world is about THEM.”

Just so you know, I posted this before you comment even showed up. Honestly, slfags troll so easily. Proof positive that slfags think that all PN comments are about THEM specifically.

Hehe I remember back in the day having the phase shield, which was just a little attachment you put on and it’d allow you to walk through wall and have bullets pass through you. I forgot what line of code it was that allowed you to do that, but LL fixed it eventually and it stopped working. I still have the object for sentimental value in my inventory.
