Web interfaces server maintenance scheduled

Scheduled maintenance notificationDear customers, we’ve scheduled a maintenance for a server which manages web interfaces (in few words, one drive within a RAID array went down. When this happens, it is advised to replace it immediately and then all other drives within RAID – they may fail within a short period of time, too).

There are two maintenance periods planned (both at Jul 22th):

  1. 07:30 SLT, 2-5 minutes
  2. 11:30 SLT, 2-5 minutes

The maintenance is not supposed to affect any connections at all, but we may need to reboot the server, be prepared for a 2-3 minutes web downtime. All bots are not affected with this maintenance.

This bot will remain free life-time (well, as long as you develop things for Second Life with SmartBots).

Proceed to the DevPortal blog for more details!

RLV module supports Model Bots

RLV support for your Second Life botRLV module has been updated to support Model Bots.

Actually, I believe we should enable the Model Bot support from the very beginning… despite of the fact that this module loads bot’s brains rather heavy. Anyway, it is time to give few lessons to Model Bots, too!

You can purchase an RLV module for your Model bot right now. To make your purchase even more pleasant use this coupon: OBEYOBEYOBEY. It provides 30% discount (this is a time-limited offer, ends in 2 weeks).

P.S. We did a lot of tests with actual RLV devices, but some of your beloved features may be still missed. Don’t hesitate to contact us and request your RLV device to work! (For VERY special devices you even can contact us anonymously!)

Bot HUD v4.0 has been released!

New Second Life bot control HUDA new version of Personal Bot HUD is now available. This is a mostly technical update: we’ve rewritten the codebase of the device completely.

The HUD scripts require less memory and contact main server in a more secure way than before.

The new HUD also introduces a user interface improvement. Now, when you make your bot sit down on object you highlight, bot verifies if it actually sees your selection beam (sometimes viewer settings prevent your beam to appear in-world).

You can get a new version of the HUD by:
