So back at AC2014, I met up with the crux group and asked about releasing an update pack for the crux avatar on Second Life. Previously, I had asked the Kinzart group and was met with "Why work on that and not KZK related stuff?" I think it is time I sit down and explain:

The crux avatar is fairly aged in the script department as much as our older dragon avatars have. Not to mention, I have been working on a new vendor system for 2 years, a new update to the script system for KZK for 8 months, and the list goes on. I haven't had the time to settle with a smaller, bite sized project in quite some time. I felt the crux was a decent place to start, since the usage of the avatar hasn't declined but the memory cost hasn't done so well in current Second Life standards.

Updating the crux would mean using experimental features and ideas that I normally would not take a risk on a Kinzart script, meaning that while I would be releasing a complete and (as close as can possibly be) bug free, it would help pave the way to newer features that would later be introduced onto a Kinzart avatar (totally not Sergal v2 *cough cough*). This would also give me the small side project I need to help retrain my focal point on other projects.

The reason I haven't released it just yet is because the current scripts I have only work for what I really use on the Crux's already existing feature set, which is to say that the amount is really low. If I am to make an update (even an unofficial one), I need to cover all the bases and ensure that the functionality between an unmodded crux and a modified crux are identical. At the same token, if I incorporated beta scripts into the avatar, it could mark this update being the first to make a non-KZK avatar AUC compatable (AUC is Kinzart's updating system for self installing mods and self updating script sets). Mod makers for crux avatars most likely can rejoice with that in mind.

I will keep an update log on its progress as I continue along.
