As you noticed, there were some reasons for not updating the manual..

The latest update to version 1.4 brought some new unseen stuff (crusher,mlb) and a better performance. However good performance is not enough. I’d like to introduce the Mephisto 2.0 which will be released within a month.

First, it was time to improve the interface, so it was completly reworked to save prims and scripts. Besides that, information output was replaced through a neat glyph system indicating you the avatar status, the height compared to your position and of course the direction.

The new interface saved, in total 33 prims and 33 scripts. A real rocket improvement from what you know!

Another big change will be the new dialog system bringing you more intuitive usage as well. Furthermore, Mephisto 2.0 will have new unseen modules improving your fighting experience at its best!

Summary:

• a new lightweight interface
• real performance
• less lag
• fantastic new modules
• and of course new attacks

Take a view on the new Mephisto 2.0!

Stay tuned for the new Mephisto..

Come down to the ShellShock store and get the latest version of Mephisto from the update terminal.

During the past time I’ve been quiet busy and that wont change that quickly, so I might ask you for your patience. Within this week we will release an update for Mephisto, mainly for a glitch in the update system, but also covering all the reported bugs. There were no serious bugs reported, however i want them to get fixed before I will run out of time completly for next weeks.

Besides that, I’m working on a new product, however the release allready got moved twice because of the lack of time. As soon as a realistic release date will be announceable, details will be given.

Because of the heavy product theft, we have to provide a security update for the ATP – Avatar Teleport System. However we’ve been working on the update anyways, but weren’t able to implement all features which were planned. So we were only able to add a speed improvement. That means, that you appear within a second on the chosen avatar even on longer distances beyond 1000m.

When you should experience issues with your licence, contact “Natok Dryke” in SecondLife ™.

Because we experienced a heavy case of product theft through the last days, we’ve been forced to release a new version of Mephisto which contains some security fixes. However we even added a lot of performance tweaks and added support for the so called chat radar of the Emerald Viewer.

When you should experience problems with your licence of your Mephisto, contact “Natok Dryke” in SecondLife ™.

After the successfull update of Mephisto HUD, we will start over now with updating following products

1. H4 – Ownage
2. ATP – Teleport System
3. Zero-Tolerance

The first two updates will come quickly within the next two weeks but the update for Zero-Tolerance will take some time, because we plan on reworking it from scratch bringing it on the latest level on sl weapons. Suggestions and feedback are welcome and can be given over the contact application.

With the raising progress of the update, I’m able now to give a properly date of the update. Mephisto 1.2 will be released on the 09/12/09. A full changelog will be given on that date.

Product updates for other products will come after.

To improve communications, a message board for customers and resellers will be placed

The FAQ will be extended and divided into several topics, making sure every
known topic is explained.

Thank you for your continued support for ShellShock Industries.

We are still banging on the Mephisto Update and I exspect to get it done within the next 3 weeks. Really important is the improved performance and were able to give it a better lag performance as you can see in the attached screenshot. A value of 0.120 for an enabled weapon HUD carrying the functionality of Mephisto is quiet good, when you compare it with other weapon HUDs which are enabled for simwide scan and strike.

Besides that, we even finished til now a new defense device from which you can exspect a lot. However details will be given a day before it will be released.

Keep patient for more news on the Mephisto update.

We finished a fine working bugfix for breaking the autoreturn again and made it a lot easier for making selfmade graffitis. However we are banging hard to apply the bugfix on all premade graffitis and writing a new handbook which will be published on the website here.

The update for Taggers Delight will be given on sunday, the 26.04.2009.

UPDATE
update is delayed because of a broken sl weekend. keep patient for the final notice.

*** UPDATE ***

the update for taggers delight is finally released!
