Status Update 01-13

I've compiled the vanilla viewer 3 times so far, twice as "release" and once as "releasefordownload". I've also connected to the Grid (Agni) several times, but each time the connection was apparently interrupted or died or was deauthorized soon after log-in.

Movement, teleportation, profile viewing, map viewing, and who knows what else were non-operational. The Friends list seemed to work, and I tried to send a couple IMs to my online friends, but they were not received. L$ balance was blank, and some menu options were disabled (specifically "Appearance" and "Upload ____"). My avatar was invisible except for a few attachments attachments, and no in-world objects were visible. The terrain was visible, however.

There were several varieties of suspicious/interesting messages which flooded the console at various times.

The first variety looked like this:

[INFO] tile 1 of 1
[INFO] - tiers-1 took 1.032843 s
[INFO] - dwt took 2.815572 s
[INFO] - tile decoded in 4.792272 s

I think it is reporting on the download and decoding of texture files from jpeg2000 format. Some time after the log-in process began, an increasing amount show up like this:

[INFO] tile 1 of 1
[ERROR] tcd_decode: incomplete bistream
[INFO] - tiers-1 took 0.117982 s
[INFO] - dwt took 0.406939 s
[INFO] - tile decoded in 0.736888 s
[ERROR] read error

If I try to move or fly, I get messages like this:

2007-01-11T23:22:44Z WARNING: sendMessage - Trying to send AgentUpdate on unknown circuit 72.5.13.29:13004

If I try other things, I get the same message, but with "AgentUpdate" replaced with other message names, like "ViewerEffect" or "TeleportLandmarkRequest" or "AgentPause" or "LogoutRequest".

Finally, here is an example of the message log summary I get when I quit the viewer.
