Description

« Hide

Beginning yesterday (December 13th, 2008) and continuing through today (December 14th, 2008), any avatar on release candidate 1.22.3 fails to have their name recognized by scripts. Additionally, L$ transactions to an avatar on 1.21.6 fail, though L$ transactions FROM an avatar on 1.21.6 to an avatar on 1.22.3 succeed.

Tested as follows:

1 - Vendors that send instant messages regarding who has purchased an object show that " has purchased your object" (as in, no name).

2 - Using a script that queries to an external PHP page, returned "owner-name" to the object. Avatar on version 1.21.6 received correct indication of name. Avatar on version 1.22.3 received a "blank" response (no name returned).

I'll try to do a bit more playing around to see if I can come up with any further details.

Comment here - EVENTUALLY the L$ transaction TO the avatar on 1.21.6 went through as an addition to their L$ balance, but NO notice of the payment being made to them was given (as is normal the case in payment transactions).

Issue is not a specific L$-transfer issue ... so is not a duplicate of SVC-3441. Issue is a VWR-based issue in which name of avatar is recognized on 1.21.6 and not recognized on 1.22.3 ...

Testing was done on both 1.21.6 and 1.22.3 with the exact same scripts, on the exact same region, with separate results - indicating that the issue is VWR based rather than SVC based. It's possible that the issue is with both VWR and SVC ... but it seems a separate/tag-along issue to SVC-3441 ... not a duplicate.

Kenn, thank you for reporting this.

Please see Prospero Linden - 14/Dec/08 05:34 AM comment on ~~MISC-1890~~ 'New Resident's name shows as a blank on the land purchase as well as my friend's list.'

NOTE - please don't comment here, but on SVC-3441 instead

I believe that the Linden Developers would like to track the 'blank avatar name' issue on SVC-3441. I have added your comments to that issue. If you have any further comments and wish to vote please see issue SVC-3441.

Thank you : )
