[BUG-228304] [EEP] Fog is broken on non-EEP viewers on Second Life Server 2020-03-09T21:37:50.538222 only

[sl-service-account]

Steps To Reproduce

• Place the attached FOG TEST xml file in C:\Users\ [USERNAME] \AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\user_settings\windlight\skies

• This windlight is a very foggy fixed sky.

• Login on the LL default release viewer: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.3.7.535996.html

• Go to a region running Main Channel SLS: Second Life Server 2020-02-26T20:56:18.537423 I tested on the region Nuts Island.

• Go to World -> Region/Estate -> Environment -> "Use the following settings" -> "Sky/Day Cycle" -> "Fixed Sky".

• In the drop-down, set the sky to "FOG TEST" and Apply the setting to the region.

• Observe that the fog remains visible after applying it to the region.

• Now go to a region running Blue Steel: Second Life Server 2020-03-09T21:37:50.538222 I tested on the region Testylvania Sandbox.

• Again, apply FOG TEST to the region as you did above.

  Observed Behaviour

• On regions running 2020-03-09T21:37:50.538222, you are unable to apply foggy windlights to the region.

• The fog is removed as soon as you hit the Apply button.

• https://gyazo.com/b53829e91362d4d4f349ab84ef4a7df8 shows what happens when applying FOG TEST to the region on Testylvania Sandbox.

• Fig 1 shows the fog broken on Testylvania Sandbox running 2020-03-09T21:37:50.538222

• Fig 2 shows the fog rendering as expected on Nuts Island running 2020-02-26T20:56:18.537423

• Both regions have FOG TEST set as their region windlight.

Thanks for the report, Whirly. Your fog test file is a very handy example of the issue.

As an aside, you might find it handy to use the Windows environment variable when specifying appdata\roaming paths - if you paste something like %APPDATA%\SecondLife\user_settings\windlight\skies into Explorer, it will automatically take you to the right directory. Similarly, %LOCALAPPDATA% resolves to the account's appdata\local directory.
