Jonathan Yap and Robin Cornelius have collaborated on a nice new
feature... it causes parcel media streams to fade in gradually when you
cross into the parcel and fade out gradually if you cross out. If you
cross between parcels with the same stream, there is no fading. If you
cross between parcels that have different streams, the old one fades out
and then the new one fades in. I think it's a big improvement.
The jira issue is STORM-591
<https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-591>, and trial builds are
available at
http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repo/oz_project-2/rev/245002/index.html
The current test implementation has a pair of debug variables for
controlling the fade time: AudioMusicFadeIn and AudioMusicFadeOut are
the number of seconds that each fade takes. In the test version above,
these default to 5 seconds.
We're going to integrate this feature, but without the variables: the
times will just be fixed at some reasonable values. Hence this mail
... this is your chance to help pick what those values should be. Try
it out, and comment in the issue (or reply to this thread, either way)
with the values you think are best. Early next week we'll pick the
final values and move the issue forward.
/If instead you would prefer to have a debate about whether or not
there should be debug variables or preferences for this, please _do
not_ put those comments in the issue, and I'd appreciate it if you
started a new email thread for that. That is a settled question:
the additional testing complexity of having variables is not worth
the flexibility./
