2020 Digitals: OpenSim: SceneGate and Firestorm: their scripts don't mix easily. It helps to know what to expect.

SceneGate and Firestorm: 
their scripts don't mix easily.  
It helps to know what to expect.

A bit of information on how SceneGate may display an existing script saved in Firestorm.  

Top of script in SceneGate

Edited from Firestorm script

• Note that what was stored was in mono.

A little problem

• People probably stick to one viewer when scripting.
• If you do that, you can ignore this article.
• But some people are starting to use SceneGate. 
• Some people will modify a script that was saved in Firestorm.
• They may get the unexpected result above.  
• There is really nothing wrong.  It just looks that way. 
• The full story below the break.

• update 2/6/2020 IMA SceneGate Viewer 1.0.0 for Linux and Windows Tangle Grid SciFi Expo Feb 5-Mar.5

The original in Firestorm

• The previous script in Firestorm looked like this:

 Firestorm script

• I don't know what the script decompiler had to do to create something I could read.
• But evidently the SceneGate version did not like the Firestorm work.  
• So it rewrote the script below that unprocessed segment.  

The rewrite looks just like the original  

• Here is the rewrite:

Bottom part of SceneGate script

• That part looks like script that is processed.  And sure enough, it is.
• When I change the text in quotes, the change appears in the floating text on the prim.
• That is just as It should be.  And you have already guessed rest of the story:
• When I change the text in the top, unprocessed segment, nothing changes.
• I could have guessed it would work that way.  But I still had to test it--and report it.
