Filed under: Affiliates, New Location, Product Updates, ShopTrack, Site Updates, Wanted — Stylez Gomez @ 9:12 pm

I’ve released an update to the elevators (v2.2.0) to facilitate the introduction of the new builders’ edition script package. This new edition allows you to transfer working* elevators with your buildings and then you customer only needs to purchase an Elevator Unlocker to make it all work!

Come check out our elevators and other products at our new main store in Lionheart.

* Elevator car needs to have a serial number entered before it will move.

Main Store Opened!

Filed under: Site Updates — Stylez Gomez @ 12:42 pm

I’m happy to announce that our new main store in the Lionheart region is now officially open! Drop by and check out our new building that was designed and built by Timothy Harlow of Level10. The building is a fresh new look compared to our last main store in Ruwart and we hope that it’s the start of a bright future in the Lionheart region.

We appreciate any feedback you have for us regarding our new location, and anything else for that matter.

Happy holidays from all of us at Union Micro!

Postmaster released!

Filed under: New Products, Product Updates — Stylez Gomez @ 3:58 pm

The Postmaster system is intended to take an e-mail as input and then send it out as instant messages to multiple avatars. It is able to filter e-mails to different groups of avatars depending on the subject of the e-mail. You can filter based on exact subject matches or partial subject matches.

The Postmaster is designed to accept e-mail from outside of Second Life (external) and from other Second Life objects (internal). E-mail from other Second Life objects will automatically have the Second Life header information stripped from the message before sending.

Also included is a built-in avatar scanner which allows you to detect the avatar keys of up to 16 avatars within 30 meters of the Postmaster.

Buy now!

Gen2 Elevator Update

Filed under: Site Updates — Stylez Gomez @ 1:03 pm

An update for the generation 2 elevators is now available. The update includes some bug fixes as well as some new features and a beta disk full of MONO scripts. The car shells have also been updated with the new notecard settings. Rez your script pack box for an update and select “Update” from your car’s supervisor menu to update your car.

New location in the works!

Filed under: New Location — Stylez Gomez @ 11:42 pm

We’re working hard at bringing our new main store online. The build is close to being completed and then I just need to fill it up with products and do some landscaping. The old main store in Ruwart will be downsized to a 1024 sq. meter piece of land that will act partly as a branch location and a redirection to the new main store. Feel free to stop by and check out the build in progress in the Lionheart region.



Escalators updated!

Filed under: Product Updates — Stylez Gomez @ 11:40 pm

I’ve released a fairly minor, yet major update to the escalators. Major being the fact that I’ve added some 10m escalators to the package! I also did some minor tweaks to the system - I reduced the escalator noise by 50% as well as included a silent poseball in the box that you can replace the one in the escalators with. I updated the instructions with some modification tips and included the texture animation scripts to restart the stair animation after making copies of the escalators or stair prims.

Simply rez one of your out of date escalators to receive an updated package from the update server - check out the new crate while you’re at it!

Mono Testing

Filed under: Product Updates, Site Updates — Stylez Gomez @ 2:36 pm

I’ve began Mono testing for the v2 elevators. I’ve been generally successful with it but did come across some things that need further researching before I push out a Mono update. I don’t expect to see much of a performance increase since most of the critical and/or slow operations in the system rely on things that are not related to Mono - physics (Havok), notecard loading (asset server).

However, due to the computational speed benefits of mono, you may see faster floor queue calculations for elevator systems that have many floors - but that remains to be tested.

I have no ETA for this release as there are some other bugs that I will need to look into and get fixed before I really consider releasing the mono version of the scripts.
