Revoking Prim Bonus, Reassigning it & More Land Questions

[Mallory Cerise]

Hi everyone,

Our sim has the prim bonus of 1.7 that is applied to everything: the rentals, the voids, and the club that's on the sim. We want to revoke the bonus and to apply it to the rentals only. We can do this using the Caspetech rental system, but how would we do that using SL's native tools?

On a related note: are there any dangers that revoking the bonus might pose, provided that we disable auto-return? The more information we can get beforehand, the better.

Does it make sense, in general, to apply the bonus to the rentals only as opposed to having it everywhere? If so, what would be the arguments in favor of doing that? Our main argument is that we want to see the real prim counts as much as possible.

Another problem we encountered recently is that we inexplicably lost about 1000 prims and the only thing that's changed is the reorganization of space (we had to accommodate a renter who wanted another plot in addition to what he had). Is that a known phenomenon and is it related to the bonus being everywhere? If it is, that would be another reason to get rid of it.

Thanks in advance for any feedback! If someone experienced with regard to managing sims with prim bonuses is willing to contact me in-world for further discussion, that would also be much appreciated.

revolking prim bonus could be risky, means any plot thats technicly "over normal prim use" will have items returned to them

[Mallory Cerise]

This is why I mentioned disabling auto-return.

[GreggStar]

still wont stop the auto return if they are over "normal prim" it will just return them

[Mallory Cerise]

Interesting. I also read that the objects can be deleted--when does that happen, as opposed to the return?

Also, is it possible to revoke or lower the bonus selectively (say, in a void) or only on the entire sim? I'm guessing not, since I am not seeing anything like that in the Region/Estate tab.

[GreggStar]

objects get sent back to lost and found, sometimes it will just "deleate" no copy items or items set to a group, it doesnt pick what objects go

 

the prim bonus unfortunatly is region wide, there is no way to just set it to a certain parcel ect, only option there would be cut a "void" as you put it and use those prims from there on the other parcels ( prims will still count on that parcel but wont be avalible to use)

[Mallory Cerise]

That helps, thanks.

Any idea why the Caspetech rental seems to allow the assignment of extra prims to individuals parcels? The option is on their web controls page.

 

[GreggStar]

no idea its not possible to do in SL so not understanding that option at all lol

[Mallory Cerise]

Me neither. I don't know anything about that rental system.

So would the reorganization of space cause the loss of prims? We don't have any other explanation.

 

[GreggStar]

if you have a "void" id set that 1st, that way you know what prims you have to "play" with then do a reorginize, messing with prim bonuses is a pain trust me i know lol i have 4 homesteads with prim bonuses on, trying to figure them out can be a bit of a nightmare at times

[Mallory Cerise]

Yeah, I'm noticing the nightmare part.

So that would, in theory, mess the prim count, even by a 1000 prims?

[GreggStar]

in theory yes it could, 1000 prims tho is a lot to loose, so somewhere sounds like you have another void plot deeded to another group hence the loss of the prims along the way somewhere

[Mallory Cerise]

Yeah, we did in fact have two land groups. Why does that happen, do you know? What's the rationale? Thankfully, we got rid of the second group after that.

[GreggStar]

if you have 2 diffrent land groupt then it kinda steals the prims from each one, its a headache to try and sort

[Mallory Cerise]

Even with rentals, is it advisable to have just one land group (right now we do)? It's not great, since it means monitoring every parcel every so often, to make sure no one exceeds their limit, but that's how the sim appears to be setup. So, for the purposes of prim count, is it best to keep everything deeded to one group? 

[GreggStar]

depends how you do it, if you want to allow them to set the land to thier own group, or have them all in your group

[Mallory Cerise]

No, individual group per renter is not an option, for whatever reason. It's either one group for everything or two groups, the other being for all renters.

Would you mind sending me an offline in-world, so I could follow up on something there?

Thanks.

[GreggStar]

sure might want to send my main the message, greggstar is just the land holder bot account
