Second Life Environmental Enhancement Project

Importing old settings
You can import your old Windlight settings into EEP.
Note that approximately 200 Windlight settings have already been imported and can be found in My Environments - Library - Environments folder. These can be accessed via Quick Preferences. Otherwise, right-click and copy as desired to your Inventory - Settings folder.

1. Open an environment editor (Daycycle, Sky, or Water)
   
2. Select the Import button - This will open a file picker dialog
3. Navigate to where you have stored your Windlight XML files and select the file you would like to import:
   • C:\Program Files\Firestorm_64\app_settings\windlight
   • C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Firestorm_x64\user_settings\windlight (personalized custom files)

You should import Windlights of the same type as the editor you have open (Daycycle, Sky, or Water) Windlight XML files are very sensitive to the directory structure. Files should be laid out as follows: ./windlight/days ./windlight/skies ./windlight/water

Group Ability If a group member other than the owner needs to apply an environment to a parcel, assign the ability under Parcel Settings - Modify environment settings and day cycle.

Catznip RLVa 2.2 Release Notes

Release Notes for v6.4.0. (540188) - Second Life Viewer Released on Friday, April 17, 2020.
https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.4.0.540188.html

Environmental Enhancement Project - EEP

Welcome to the Environmental Enhancement Project (aka EEP!) EEP is a major enhancement to the legacy Windlight environments, introducing new inventory object for defining the environmental settings. To properly experience EEP you will need ALM (Advanced Lighting Model) enabled under your graphics settings.

Highlights Shareable environmental objects that you can keep in your inventory. Parcel level control of environments. Up to four different sky layers that may be set independently. More options for customization. And much, much more

Personal Lighting This EEP RC includes a new Personal Lighting floater. When you open this floater it will snap an image of the current shared environment wherever you are standing. You are presented with a number of controls that allow you to make quick modifications to the environment, including sun and moon position, ambient lighting, and more!

These changes will persist until you log out or select “Use Shared Environment” from the World>Environment menu, so you can close the floater to get it out of your way.

Maintenance: Zirbenz

The Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur is a specially crafted beverage that comes from the Alps in Austria. The key ingredient from which this liqueur draws its flavor is the Arolla Stone Pine Fruit that is native to the Alps. Exceptionally smooth, slightly sweet and with a crisp floral finish – this Pine liqueur has been made the same way since 1797. Since this is an artisanal liqueur, it is not mass produced in any factory. Usually enjoyed as an after-ski drink, the liqueur is also used in various cocktails. It is made from completely natural ingredients. This liqueur was first made by Josef Hofer. It is handcrafted and bottled in a family distillery till date.

It still looks fine on pre-EEP viewers.
