OMG. I would wager RL money that they will never do this, but to me a long, high train viaduct OVER stilts (well, probably over a long gap between stilts, like a road) is unquestionably the best Linden Home idea ever!

Nika Talaj Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I think folks on the forums spend a lot more time thinking about the old Linden Homes than LL does. Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door! (by which I mean, why should we worry about it? LL knows how much usage the old LL homes get, which is not inconsiderable. They know about the cool builds. They know the premium sandboxes exist. They have usage stats and we don't, and will do what they will do, from a much more informed perspective than we have, regardless of what we say.)

Your memory is accurate. The plan still stands that the old Linden Homes continents will mostly go away. Being the preservationist that I am, I do intend to save some of them for historical purposes and to cater to those who may still want one. We haven't quite worked out how that will go yet, but I predict that there will be some level of disruption that is unavoidable. For example, part of what will need to happen is the web based control system for the homes will be have to be removed and replaced with the similar/same control system we use in world today on the new homes. 7 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I've observed a small change in Sakura. Shobu region now appears to have a railway station and a level-crossing for a neighbouring region's (Kingyo/Goldfish) road. ^ 27th April 2022 ^4th May 2022 I've also turned Shobu by 90 degrees and increased magnification.... Hmm. Shobu means "department", which ties in nicely with the Mole's LDPW department. Instead of a community centre, could the large Shobu building actually be a giant Mole Mart department store....?! 😜 Edited May 4, 2022 by SarahKB7 Koskinen 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond Marchant Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 No doubt about it. Those pixels in Shobu that look like a railbed are identical to the pixels in SSPBamp that are a railbed. The gray squares are a road crossing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been having some weird dreams and thoughts recently and this train teleporter coincides with one. I think for region crossing handover purposes the two connected regions don't need to functionally be next to each other, it might require an experience to control it. I vaguely recall a bug where a region border connected with a different region but that might have been a dream. Of course it would look odd in general if crossings didn't go where you expected because your view of the next region is dictated by location on the map. But suppose like with the East River Community at the train station you get on your train, You go into a tunnel, you get teleported to a section of railroad to travel in the sky but from your view underground, then on the next underground crossing there is perhaps no need for that crossing to be into an adjacent region. An experience can may be handle it. You could use a system like that to connect Bellisseria with Bay City a Linden gaming area or even Kama City, any where you want just a few region crossings away. From the viewpoint of the traveller the journey would look exactly like it would if the regions were next to each other. This is wild speculation and quite possibly impossible, but since topic came up as I was having this flight of fancy thought I would share it.

Persephone Emerald Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 It's easy enough to teleport avatars with an experience, but I don't think this would be possible with a rezzed vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The East River Community Train Service teleported up into the air, so teleporting isn't the problem. And for that matter Karyn makes a script and portal system I have used for moving bikes and riders around on a region. What I am unsure about is whether it can be done across unconnected regions. I think it can but not 100% sure. Edited May 5, 2022 by Aethelwine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) SSPBoomp's "train elevator" markers have vanished and were replaced by a river, roads and bridges! There are no tunnels, trebuchets, elevators, teleporters, or time-travelling steam trains to be seen. This new river (or stream) flows upstream and westwards through SSPBamp , SSPBallomp, then northwards through Whiskey Pond where it narrows, shallows and ends. The region's south border intregues me as the river 's apparent course is south too, implying that this river could continue southwards through the numerous voids between Newbrooke and Chalets.
