Hi!
Sometimes when I sing I have to make use of the derendering of avatars that are not on my friends list to safe that cpu power for my soaking live played virtual piano. That works great, in particular the auto-derendering script to be found in here is very nice working.
The only downside of this is that I cannot see any name tags anymore which would help to find my way through all the folks without the need of using the mini-map. So, would it be possible to have both - people derendered and still to see their name tags?

This is simply not possible: derendered avatars are removed from the objects list (their object instance is destroyed), and the name tag pertains to this instance...
If you want to lower the load, instead of derendering entirely avatars, consider making them into "jelly dolls" (right click on name tag, then in the pie menu "Mutes" -> "Never show"). You can also automatically turn almost all avatars into jelly dolls, by simply setting a low "Maximum render complexity" setting, from the "Preferences" floater, "Graphics" tab, "Avatars rendering" sub-tab: setting is to 10000 will do, and if you want to de-jelly-dollify a few avatars, you can do so with the pie menu (same steps as above), by selecting "Always show" instead.

I see.. Would that setting be consistent/active also after re-log or would it be temporary as DerenderObject? I'm thinking about adjusting the great Auto-Derender-Script by Zane to use that Idea of jelly dolling non-friends who fly in during a show. Using the pie menu is not possible for me during my shows, but it's good to know about this option.

It is only valid for the current session and only as long as the avatar stays around (if it relogs or TPs away/back in, the setting is reset, since it is part of the avatar object that gets removed from memory when the avatar goes away or logs off). I added a new SetVisualMute() Lua function for next release, so you will be able to do that in Lua...

I still don't know enough about coding and scripting. Does this Lua Function SetVisualMute also need to have a table in the background with all the derendered objects and avatars so that I can only exhange the functions?
