Today I got a lot done. Figured out a lot of problems that have been irking me for ages. Such as being able to retrieve object name and description, as well as avatar name. Once those were done, I made it so that Crystal Frost will display nearby chat in its chat log... and THEN... I made it so that the sun position syncs with what the sim says it is...
Having crushed it, I decided to do something a little special as desert. Here's a video showing it. When objects are de-rezzed, they don't just instantly pop out of existence. Instead, they dissolve out of existence!
