FireStorm Viewer

[Spirits Rising]

Firestorm allows for Pitch and Yaw movement. If it is Roll you're looking for (as shown by Chalice above) then no.

 

[WolfEyes]

No. I'm asking if I can tilt the camera horizontally and vertically.

I think I get what you are saying. Key word being tilt, not rotate. Unless someone has scripted a HUD or something that I'm not aware of, I'd have to say no.

 

[Blaise Glendevon]

Before the guesswork continues, you mean this kind of rotation?

(Edit: Kinda a bit NSFW)

Yes. That's what I mean.

WTF is wrong with this thing lately, last few months miserable to load content in world. Fastest solution is to turn off transparent water and get yourself some old school graphix. Bonus, your frames shoot from 2 seconds per, to about 100 FPS.

1070GTX if it matters.

Trying Catznip right now and I might be able to tame its quirks, but I'd kind of like the FS random tools back. Being able to move is winning the battle right now, though.

Noticed that too but blamed LL on renting from ACS. Is it only on FS?

Catznip is smooth like butter with everything turned up high. Not testing any further with other viewers just yet.

I haven't seen any recent drop in performance with Firestorm. I don't get 100 FPS anywhere but my computer is from 2012 with a gtx1070. Haven't been able to get an rtx because bloody Etherium miners. Typically 20 FPS in built up areas but that's been normal, went down to the water to check if transparent water was a problem but FPS went up to 70 in a water sim.

Will try Kokua then, as Catznip is Michaelsoft Binbows only.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

Oh, I'm running Firestorm on Windows, because my Mac Pro is even older and has a shittier video card (UserBenchmark says the gtx1070 is 163% faster than the HD7950). It could be a Mac driver thing that Firestorm is tickling. I didn't think Apple even supported nVidia drivers any more.

 

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Everyone back in the pool!

Latest update, much, MUCH better.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

Seems to be smoother but for some reason max FPS in skyboxes or empty regions actually went down by about 1/3.

Also rendering seems to have changed, atmospheric effects are much more pronounced and things seem faded when I turn them off.

 

[CronoCloud Creeggan]

I don't know what they did, but I got a huge boost in fps on Linux with the same settings.

NO!

New Firestorm release is out - it is not the PBR release yet:

Summer fun and fixes - Firestorm 6.6.14 - Firestorm Viewer - The Phoenix Firestorm Project Inc.

Where did those months go? Summer is here (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, at least) and it’s been far too long since the last Firestorm update. We are happy to announce that the latest Firestorm Release is now available for download in the usual place. As this has been over six...

[CronoCloud Creeggan]

Well it looks like the old triangle alpha issue with certain hair on Linux has been mostly fixed. https://jira.firestormviewer.org/browse/FIRE-23370

Also, you have your Beta badge (greek Beta letter) ....you FIC:

[WolfEyes]

lmao so I don't cry

After 19 years of being a resident in SL, I won't get any badges. Other people get awarded badges, without even trying, not me, no matter what I do. Am I really that horrible of a person that I have never done anything to deserve recognition? I must be.

 

[Soen Eber]

NO!

In the reader comments Ubuntu 22.04 seems to work, but no mention of the joystick

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

What badges?

 

[Beebo Brink]

Badges? Badges? I don't need no stinkin' badges.

 

[Cindy Claveau]

I just thought that I was where I always am - the last to know.
