914 is Rolling!

Porsche 914
We didn't name the new version for it,
but DJ had one for a while in the 1970s.

ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Version 4.19.914 is now pushing through the HUD Update Server! The new version has some cool feature, along with a ton of "adjustments" we've made to hopefully reduce the impact of Linden Labs' continual dicking with the SL Server system.

The key features of Version 4.19.914 are:

• BulkGroup -- A new method for assigning plants to HUD groups in bulk using the HUD by itself! For those who've not used HUD groups because they're hard to set up, this is a big step forward!
   
• Yield information is now in the "Compact" hovertext display. This will make the uncluttered Compact banner a lot more useful for a lot more of you. Reduce SL air pollution with the Compact display!
   
• We fixed the indoor/outdoor lighting bonus system so that plants with I/O breeding stats between 1.0 and 1.499999 will still get the bonus.
   
• The transfer penalty for flowering plants has been reduced back to 24 hours. Taking flowering plants in & out of inventory or transferring them to new owners no longer takes 30 hours off the time remaining. This means we're back to the original Version 4.19 transfer penalty and basically gives you an extra transfer before the locusts eat your plant!

As always, we've also made a bunch of memory optimizations and streamlined the scripts to (hopefully) make them work faster and smoother.

Version 4.19.914 started pushing this week. All our Standard seed packs and Starter Kit seeds & new LEs are available in the new version, too!

Burning the Bridge!

Since Version 4 was first released almost five years ago, growers have used the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Bridge Transmogrifier to update Version 2 & 3 plants to the latest & greatest. The Bridge was an old school standalone Update Transmogrifier that delivered a special ovule that combined Version 2/3 harvesting protocols with Version 4 scripting. The Bridge process took two generations to be done right, and it was a tedious process that stumped a lot of new growers.

During development of Version 4.19.912, the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Team had to change some of the harvesting protocols yet again to accommodate changes Linden Labs made in the SL Server platform. While implementing these changes, we made a happy discovery: the Bridge was no longer necessary.

Version 2 & 3 mother plants can be directly updated to Version 4.19.912. Simply set your HUD 4.20200120 to "CSLUT On" mode & click the "Update" button in the mother plant's menu. For one-seed mothers, that's all you have to do.

The only trick is that 2- and 3-seed Version 2/3 mothers need to be re-updated between each harvest. Update, harvest the first offspring, update again, harvest the next offspring. If you don't re-update between harvests, the odds of a failed offspring are very high.

Lastly, we have found that Version 2/3 plants that aren't updated will harvest properly on some server versions but not on others. For this reason we recommend that all Version 2/3 mothers be updated to 4.19.912 before harvesting.

Disclaimer: The above information is provided as a courtesy to growers who have older seeds & archived plants. The ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Team cannot guarantee that updating very old seeds will work properly in all situations. (See the ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Terms of Service.) ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ does not officially support Version 2 & 3 plants. Version 4 was first released almost five years ago & that's plenty of time. But we realize that a few growers have large "seed banks" extending back almost to the beginning & we want to provide backwards compatibility whenever we can!

912 is Ready!

A vintage Porsche 912, which has absolutely nothing to do
with ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ except for the number, but looks cool.

ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Version 4.19.912 is now rolling through our HUD Update Server very soon! Whats new?

• Three more HUD groups available (for a total of nine), when used with the new HUD 4.20200120!
• Addresses problems when plants are harvested on SL Server Version 2019-12-16T (and newer)!
• Three new Epic Standards (when all else fails) -- Honduras, Mazar-i-Sharif & Malana Cream.
• As usual, lots of little bug fixes & code clean-ups!

"When All Else Fails" -- New Epic Standards
(L-R: Malana Cream, Mazar-i-Sharif, Honduras)

To get the update for your plants, just wear your old HUD 2019. In a few moments, the HUD Update Server will send you a new HUD 2020, which includes the CSLUT for Version 4.19.912.

Along with the regular HUD-based CSLUT, we're releasing an all new "Bridge" for updating Version 2 and 3 plants to the latest "912" scripts! The "Bridge" is an old school standalone updater for folks who grow heirloom plants from seed.

Keep an eye on group notices for more info, and of course watch for your updated HUD to pop up soon!

TOTEM POLE NUGZ HUNT!

TOTEM POLE NUGZ w/REZZER
(top to bottom: Totem EagleNugz, Totem FoxNugz,
Totem BeaverNugz, Totem DuckNugz,
and Totem BearNugz

On Cyber Monday, we began a "Native American" hunt around  ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Central featuring a new Nugz set, TOTEM POLE NUGZ

Like other Nugz plants, the plants are 0.5 meters small, medium potency & medium growth rate... AND each one features an inheritable sound FX!  What's more, you'll get a special auto-rezzing display stand that builds your decor plants into a TOTEM POLE!

HUNT FOR THE TOTEM POLE NUGZ ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, THROUGH WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4!

The hunt is "Members Only." To begin, you'll purchase a L$750 kit at ḈḁṇṇḁḇḭṦḼ Central. The kit includes the Totem Pole Rezzer, instructions & a clue to the first stop on the "tour." At the first location, you'll find a hunt vendor, pick up the first LE & get the hint for the second stop. To use the vendor at any location -- there are five stops -- you must have gotten the item from the preceding vendor in the tour.

After completing the hunt, you'll have a full set of TOTEM POLE NUGZ.  (This means you get L$1250 worth of LE seeds plus a rezzer for L$500 less than our regular LE price.) A limited number of regularly-priced additional seed packs (with rezzers) will be available at the end of the hunt only for members who complete the hunt first.
