potentially destructive.
- Packet loss can cause edits made to 'undo' themselves, making building very difficult.
better info on the FS wiki.
- Using the stretch mode key-bind ( even without making edits ) on objects with materials (normal, specular) can sometimes completely reset the texture mapping of those materials.
depends on whether stretch textures is on/off & mapping type.
default mapping - resets if ☐ stretch textures
planar mapping - resets if 🗹 stretch textures
- Attachments need to be re-attached to save edits made. This applies to any attachment, not just prims.
( they get saved at other times too, but re-attaching will ensure nothing gets lost if SL crashes unexpectedly. )
- Some z-fighting/flickering prims will not be apparent until re-rezzed.
ALSO dependent on altitude, due to a rounding error that affects all objects, mesh or prim.
- Unlinking larger link sets can cause flickering, or prevent the user from editing the newly unlinked objects
( fixes itself on relog )
- Smaller prims are likely to be missed when attempting to select them with Shift+Drag Click
- Pasting materials on medium/large Link Sets can cause intense lag.
inconvenient.
- Spheres are not given adequate LSL support. ( should have the same flags as torus )
- Texture mapping behaves differently between PBR and Blinn-phong.
- Parameters can be linked to others in not so obvious ways.
ex, skew & revolutions
- Land impact shown in Build Menu can be slow to update even when the physics shape is changed.
- Freshly created link sets show inaccurate link order until re-rezzed
- When flexible prims are used as the root in a link set, certain options can be grayed out for the entire link set. ( phantom, physical )
- ( only have had this happen once hehe )
Texture shown to the viewer is different from what is actually in the slot. when it happened to me, it showed a different texture from the link set.
annoying!!!.
- something changed around 04-12-2025 that affected the circle hollowed faces for most shapes.
the date is when I had updated my viewer, so not entirely accurate.
I got no clue about the change on a technical level .
but in my brief testing the Firestorm version 7.2.3 (Legacy) has the old normals, while 7.2.3 (AVX2) does not.
