Union Micro

The forum was giving me problems trying to upgrade it so I deleted it and installed it from fresh. All information is still intact, the big differences are the lack of forum attachments now and it’s back to the default subSilver look. I may not bother changing too much on the forums since they don’t appear to be overly active – my resources are best spent elsewhere.
I also cleaned out inactive users because most of them (if not all of them) were spam robots.

Just a quick update since I haven’t posted in a while. The site is now hosted on Dreamhost and things seem to be working smoothly. They have a lot of features that will allow me to integrate things in Second Life with the web. I did a quick XML-RPC test with a chat logger (now disabled in-world) that logged chat to a database.

I’m currently working on another project that will integrate Second Life with the web – more details will be posted soon.

Things are moving pretty slowly as far as new products and updates are concerned because real life work has me for 45 hours for 6 days a week, but I’m still checking my email and the forums for any questions people have for me.

If you can see this you’re looking at the new site on Dreamhost.

I’m switching over to Dreamhost, so the site may be down for a little while.

I’ve added an FAQ to the forum for the Interior Elevator, it answers many common questions I get from people.

See it here.

I’ve made a page for code snippets, you can see it at the top of the menu on the left. Just a little repository of scripts that you might find useful… Some of the scripts I’ve made myself… some are scripts that you can get in-world, off of the scripting library on the SL forums or off of the LSL wiki. Have fun!

Welcome to the most advanced elevator system in Second Life! Built from the ground up with realism in mind, this system will provide passengers with the most authentic elevator experience that your Lindens can buy.

Features:

• Realistic elevator logic.
  • Queuing system
    • Floors that request service are placed in a queue.
    • Elevator stops at queued floors based on its direction of travel and proximity.
    • This results in Second Life’s most efficient elevator.
• High quality texturing.
  • Some textures used from Second Life’s top texture artists.
  • Some textures hand-made.
• Realistic elevator sounds.
  • Start/stop sound.
  • Configurable Elevator music.
    • Turn it on or off.
    • Replace the sound with your own.

• Spacious elevator car.
  • Reliable movement.
    • Elevator car doesn’t get stuck or freeze if configured and placed properly.
    • Smooth and steady with minimal jumping.
  • 10 buttons for floor selection.
    • Buttons appear or disappear to avoid confusion depending on how many floors you have configured.
  • Open door button.
  • 200m maximum distance between ground floor and top floor.
    • This is achieved by using a separate “controller” object which ties your elevator car in with your boarding stations.

  • Current floor LED display.

This is the latest addition to Union Micro by Angela Rosebud. She’s setup shop upstairs at the Union Micro main store selling different things for your Second Life homes. So far we have a small range of shelving, counters, tables, lighting and even a clothes hamper! All items with doors have doors that actually open! Stop by and check it out.

Vendor updated to 1.2
*Restructured the Pay box. It now only presents ONE button which is the price of the item it’s selling.
*Front face of vendor is now full-bright when online, and not full-bright when offline.

Sales Server updated to 1.01
*Reduced likeliness of the sales server not sending out nightly reports every night.
*Your sales logs should not be affected by this update.

I also changed the format of my release notes since there’s a lot of objects with different versions in this package.

The Meridian is Union Micro’s first offering as an office building. Its modular design allows you to start with a lobby, place as many stories as you like and then top it off with a roof. Each story is a spacious 10m tall, allowing you to have high ceilings or split it into multiple floors. The footprint for this building is 20m x 20m, or you can knock out walls and enlarge it since it’s fully modifiable and copyable (in case you change your mind).

Although it’s labeled as an office building it will also make a great shop, or even an apartment building! Keep in mind that this is a shell – it has no interior walls or floor plan. The only level that contains a floor is the lobby, however a floor is included (along with the floor texture used in the lobby) if you want to place it throughout the building.
