Gearhead Gaffer Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) The process was interesting to watch. It went more or less like this: The first few plots on the land were aligned and the initial streets were built off of that. Terrain got adjusted to fit the streets Additional plots were laid out and aligned Walkways were run in a sensible fashion from street to where the entrance to the home on each plot wound show up. Terrain was adjusted again to fit the walkways Houses were rezzed in and terrain was adjusted again to make sure the ground wasn't clipping into houses. This is just to get the initial layout done. Consider how many extra terrain features there are in the existing areas, rocks, hedges, walls, etc. It's a lot of work getting all this stuff deployed. And on top of THAT.. we've only got somewhere around half of the continent even visible yet. Edited June 5, 2019 by Gearhead Gaffer 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way you can see them is with an auto-refresh that alerts you with popup and sound as soon as the word Bellisseria appears. Even then, you must be very, very fast. I use Chrome and Auto Refresh Plus. Yay… I was going to come back to this and say the sound alert doesn't work for me*, and never mind, but it does. A house came up and I got the alert. Didn't get the house but I'm pleased that I've confirmed to myself the set up works. Now I have a question (not sure if I should start a new thread?): I had pre-filled the parcel name, to gain time, which means that I had to click on the drop down arrow to select Bellisseria (it doesn't appear as the first choice when the parcel name is prefilled). Now I'm thinking that it would probably be faster altogether if the parcel name was left unfilled, because then Bellisseria would become the default option when it appears, at least that's my understanding (please somebody let me know if I'm wrong…) Is there a way to go back to the status of the page as it is when you first land on it? I'm thinking that even if I delete the parcel name now, that's not the same thing? Does anybody know? *I had tested it with "Meadowbrook", and didn't get an alert at the page reload, so that seemed a reasonable conclusion… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, that audio alert wasn't working for me either, at first... until I realized you need to actually enable the feature first. Doh on me. 🤪 As for retaining the name, fill it in once, and then press 'Next'. Then just press the Back button, and from there on in, the name will survive a refresh even.

Yes, I've made that mistake too... Also it took me a while to realise that once it has sounded the alert, you need to restart it, it doesn't keep going on its own. Still, I'd rather find out now... As for the name surviving a refresh, thanks, but...I'm not even sure if that's possible, but I was looking for the opposite trick. Reason for that is that - on my system at least - I used to have to manually click the arrow of the drop down choice menu to select Bellisseria even when Bellisseria WAS in the list ( so I was hoping to save ooohhh I don't know... 2 seconds... three maybe? It sounds utterly ridiculous when written like that...😃) ...all that because I had named my parcel already. But that seem to have solved itself (maybe because of auto refresh itself) so it's all good. Well, apart from missing out on a boat just now, but hey... not long till the new batch, right?

roseelvira Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 the problem ,,,,,,, we as premium members paying almost the same depending, on if you are yearly , monthly, quarterly, there is a bit of amount difference as one would expect like ,when you take out a loan and have a few types of payment options. the problem is amount of prims and land. It is not about you using the land or even the house it is about what you are truly paying for. Just as the slot group thing was a huge issues and by the way a smart smoke screen and diversion away from addressing this problem .What are you getting for your money!!!! A few years back they raised the prim limit for everyone /almost the same time /within a month so maybe they should have could have the new homes and boats usable same prims as the old UNTIL EVERYTHING WAS FINISHED AND THEN RELEASED THE ADDED PRIMS TO EVERY ONE AT THE SAME TIME. This mad dash is not about the new house or boat it is about the amount we pay and the prims and usable land . NO ONE WANTS TO PAY MORE FOR LESS !!!!! And sniping insulting ,hurtful reply s and comments to one another is so very unbecoming to the ones who snipe ,insult, hurt others .We are all in second life two enjoy and be of positive help to one another .

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I don't know how many more ways people can explain that you are not getting "less". If you want to believe you are being ripped off, that is your choice, and it appears no one can convince you otherwise. However, you also have a choice as to what to do about it. If you really feel you are getting less, why on earth would you continue paying? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It's all been explained before. You get 1024 sq m, same as everyone else. Use it how you want. You just cannot use it on a new Linden home this very second. There are tons of threads on this same topic. The answer is not going to change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLMoody Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Quick question. How does one look for a Houseboat? Do they show up on the Linden land option under the account setting? I'm only seeing house neighborhoods there. Or is there another place to look for available houseboats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This page off of your dashboard: https://land.secondlife.com/en-US/lindenhomes/land-selection.php For now, you will only see the older homes. When something new becomes available, it will show up there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can handle that Read a few threads here -- there is a browser 'auto refresher' add-in that some are using to monitor the page and alert you when a new one is available. Even with that though, you have to be super quick to claim one of the random abandoned ones. Most of us are guessing that the next batch will come out after the SL16B celebration, where they will also be previewing a new theme. Though it is "slightly possible" that they'll release the next small batch of house and houseboats before that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
