We all know about the amount of lag on avatars, some are from resizing scripts some are from excessive calls, sensors, some are from chat listeners that have to filter out ever single bit of chat in a region. Most avatars do not even realize they have purchased something causing issues.
I think "scanning" an avatar before it goes to a teleport destination to see if that amount of script usage is allowed on that region isn't fixing a problem, and leaves someone that doesnt know any better at a loss. I also believe that limiting the amount of scripts in one object is a little more doable, but some functions are at idle in scripts. I think the best method that goes with Linden Labs philosophy of be and do what you want to do, would just be to give better monitoring tools to Estate owners, they pay those server bills they should have some better tools. Whether its a script count, usage, calls to the server, or just be able to open up a server window to see what is going WITH a must have uuid and location its coming from. I would be happy with a debug server window that does this. This isn't an unreasonable request to give me more tools, I am not hard to please, what is unreasonable is that I pay out the wazoo and anyone can come crash my region if they wanted to. They can lag it up galore just for giggles and I cant do anything about it, they can do this daily , everyday several times a day, and I have to be the victim of it. As I said before, most don't even know they are doing this because it's in an item they purchased, so this is where the ***SCRIPT COUNTER*** comes in handy. We make the announcement for everyone to script count yourself and your neighbors , everyone does using the forks off of Emerald, and the region gets better. It isn't the solution for everything, but it helps when excessive scripts is the cause. I am not going to give you a full on user story because I feel like that gives you reason to place this in a faraway request. This works now in other viewers, it can work in yours too :-) ________________________________ From: Joshua Bell <j...@lindenlab.com> To: miss c <miss_c...@yahoo.com> Cc: opensource-dev@lists.secondlife.com Sent: Wed, September 29, 2010 6:45:50 PM Subject: Re: [opensource-dev] 2.0 Absolute Dealbreaker - script count feature request Taking a stab at a user story: As a land owner, I want to ensure that sim performance is not negatively impacted by particular avatars with lots of scripts, so that all users of the sim have a good experience. That abstracts away the mechanism... which suggests to me that approaches like dynamic per-avatar caps on script cycles might be a better approach to pursue than specific functions that enable monitoring. But I'm probably over-abstracting the desire and it would encode the policy in the sim, rather than letting land owners self-manage. Can we craft a better user story to capture the true need?
