I just finished another Havok 4 elevator test and have some more results. As reported before, the elevators are actually working quite nicely in Havok 4! As long as no one is inside, they work perfectly fine. Now here’s the catch: when there is someone in the elevator it slowly starts rotating as it moves. This is where you come in! If you have a Union Micro elevator – or probably any elevator made in Second Life for that matter, this issue concerns you!
If you would be kind enough to head here and cast your vote on this JIRA issue, hopefully the Lindens will take notice and get this fixed. Once this is fixed, it seems as though there shouldn’t be any more show-stopper Havok 4 issues related to the elevators and you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that your elevators will continue to work once Havok 4 is deployed across the grid.
On another beta testing note, Linden Lab started the Mono beta today. This was less successful for me as I couldn’t get all of my scripts to compile on it. Now, these were only a couple of the helper scripts like the updater script, but I still didn’t feel like I was going to get far with Mono tonight so I packed up.
This is only the first day of the Mono beta, so maybe I will head back in a week and give it another go!
