Black Dragon is MY Viewer, i decide which feature i want to add and which to remove, i share this Viewer to show the world that user base size is not important, i do rate quality by effort, thought and love put into the project, not some rough estimated numbers. I consider feature requests only if i you can name proper valid reasons i can agree on. It is my (unpaid) time i'm putting into this project, i'm not here to cater to every Joe's desires.

Black Dragon Viewer - Update 2.5 - Gamma "Radiated Dragon"

Here we go with another round of bug fixes and tweaks.


I would like to say again that its very important that you give me feedback on the changes, fixes and broken features. If you are scared of me ripping off your head, here are 2 tips how to avoid it:

  1. IM me directly, don't write on the blog, forum or anywhere else, especially not on your own blog, IMs directly to me, that's a sure way to get them to me and maybe get your stuff fixed properly.
  2. Repeat #1, DO IT. If you are too scared of me ripping off your head when you report feedback, you shouldn't be, you should rather be scared because i will rip your head off if you don't give me feedback.
Good, i think we got that cleared up too. Remember broken shit is usually only broken because i don't know its broken.


Next up, some changes all over the place, the outfit replace issue should be fixed, the Viewer should properly replace your entire outfit now. Bento was updated a tiny bit and i made some changes to enhance overall peformance a bit. All reported issues should be fixed that includes spellchecker. Yes spellchecker is "working" again but only as far as the official one does, importing dictionaries is still a mess and doesn't work in 99% of all cases, same on Linden Viewer, the dictionaries are simply incompatible with the importer but can be added easily if you know how. I didn't just "fix" it but also included a few more dictionaries for you to use, on top of the default English ones there is now a German, Portuguese and 2 French ones too. Thank me later for this. This change is not listed because i cannot commit the change, it's not part of the Viewer but i will make sure this is not going to break again in future updates at some point.

Also, the reported issue with alpha color swatches, mouselook grab option and internal/external browser option should be fixed as well.

SSAO has been updated too, make sure you default your SSAO settings to get the new settings, they are better, trust me.

  4. Did you try cleaning your notifications? not sure if this is still a case but high notification counts can drastically increase startup time, up to the point where you might not get logged in at all. Also, try clearing your settings if you haven't yet, you might be experiencing a startup crash like someone recently did which was fixed by cleaning the settings.
