Nika Talaj Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 In fact, let me go a little further and beg you not to AR it. Any Linden receiving the report would HAVE to remove it, because you just can't have every Tom, Dick and Resi putting up fake lighthouses and, who knows, house boat clones etc.. But this ONE GUY, this one clever guy ... oh, lets let it be! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Mysterious Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Some Bellisserian creativity, like my example, certainly skirts the line of what is appropriate, acceptable and allowed. We definitely don't want things to get anywhere near the point of mainland chaos, but on the other hand, the neighborhoods could become boring and stagnant if residents are afraid to do anything too far out of the box. It seems like it will be an uneasy balance to maintain, but I'm sure LL will try their best as Bellisseria matures. In one of my explorations, I came across one of the V1.0 'painted lady' Victorians done up as Addams goth, and was quite impressed (and envious) at what they had done with the exterior of their place. And I am sure the immediate neighbors have their own opinions, and maybe some will be sad on that day that the trim was repainted to white and the body became much more cheerful. Like with importing mesh, maybe there needs to be a set of rules to accept and follow in order to use - and keep - certain advanced abilities, such as exterior tinting, to keep things interesting but not chaotic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems themely for the seaside but probably not something you could strap to the top of your vehicle when your RV camper vacation is over .... And then you get this view ... To AR or not to AR, that is the hypothetical question. That COULD with some changes look quite "in place" . There is the height issue of course but I have thought some additions were over 15 meters when they were not. 15 meters is TALL. Not sure if that is the smallest trailer. Using the smallest one would of course be helpful. Adding some bushes to tie the trailer to the house? Maybe a walkway to wherever the door is? There ARE possibilities with this that would make it more pleasing. From my AR experiences it would not be flagged for change, I have reported MUCH worse and they were never changed. That is a pretty desolate lot. It really needs some TLC though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belli isn't made for that. The same as the old Linden homes, Belli is meant to get a taste of living, nót the freedom of mainland. The covenant is there for a reason. If people don't want to keep to that, move out. He (Patch) was also very clear about not using the bug in coloring the outside of the homes.. and even future limitations in the covenants to prevent use of shells and add ons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the Williamsburg would fit better, it has a woodwork outside, and with using the "turn" option a better placement compared to the tower. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tried the turn option (as my alt) it would only do 180 degrees, not 90. Might be different on different models. Not sure. But yes two other styles that are more houselike would be in better keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Responding to the part over. Yes, by all means, I can move. But I will not move to the wild mainland. Unless LL makes a new continent with some rules, I will not invest thousands of Li in mainland when everybody and anybody can litter around it with floating crap. I can use a few hundred on a small temporary parcel. I can leave such a parcel with minimal loss. But buying 4000 + m is seldom cheap. Yes, I am prepared for this argument: Rent in a private estate. My reply is then, if I move to a private estate, I will cancel premium and use the money on rent. Currently I have 4 accounts on premium. I am sure that can cover for a nice place. LL will then loose the safe income, and I have no emotional connection to estate land. I can leave it any time I want a break, then rent another parcel later. I am sure I save money on renting as a basic resident. I am paying premium for no tier and the safety, It also gives me a deeper connection to the land. It is my land, not the landlord's land. Asking LL to let me buy a part of abandoned mainland for low cost is possible. Maybe they do that, or maybe they set the land on auction because they see it can be desirable and drive up the price. I can still run into the problem with neighbors, even if I got abandoned land. Firestorm let me derender one by one object, but I bet an option like: ...... Click inside another parcel and choose "Derender all content on this land" would be popular. Something to wish for. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to wish for. Now THAT, I would love to see! I have a large mainland holding that looks on to a parcel that has floating decor in bright garish colours. It has been there for many years, I see the owner occasionally on their parcel so it’s not redundant. It wasn’t a problem for me to the extent that it put me off purchasing the land, and I have indeed derendered some of the items that float quite high on my FS viewer, but logging in last night on my LL viewer I was reminded what was there. A button that could defender en masse though, would be lovely. Edited January 10, 2020 by Walpurgisnacht Expanded to include reason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Portal Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 In Firestorm viewer, two other options to derendering individual objects are edit - drag box around multiple objects - right click - blacklist from pie menu, and area search by owner name - select all in list - right click - blacklist. Not as handy as a "derender all on parcel" feature but quite useful. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. Anyone old enough to remember the blog where they posted ugly avatars and laughed of them? Most content here is clearly violating the rules, but some things coming up is more "this is bad taste". AR what you don't like and let LL sort it out.

The problem is that LLs views having to leave mainland for a Linden Home as the punishment... and we all view having to leave a Linden Home for mainland as the punishment... What we see as an upgrade, they see as the downgrade... as Patch has made clear with the comments about folks who don't like a theme or want to do more... and it's the more part I would focus on here... to the community... mainland is -more- of a -less-... As @Marianne Little notes... you go there with all your stuff... and it's instantly ruined by the neighbors and the no rules... We come to the Linden Homes to be able to actually do more... to get 'use and enjoyment' out of our land. Mainland would be a more if all you wanted was a libertarian sandbox... (and is for such folks, but they're not the folks here). Edited January 10, 2020 by Pussycat Catnap 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koltari Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 It's been 4 days since I AR'ed what I found not in theme next door. But only after living next to it since August, with everything blacklisted, in the hopes of them reading the covenant. I finally decided to just move instead. I saw the parcel being claimed and abandoned quite a few times until I stopped checking. It may be, since it's been that many days, that the decor has been deemed appropriate and that I am just to sensitive about what I think would be in theme or not I'm ok with that.

It'd be easy to make the platform there, put it in inventory (like a Tardis lol) then take it above. I'd need the trick of making your boundaries extend vertically to make make sure not to go outside my plot. You can also find a very handy Builder-grid-texture in the market place like this one: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Basic-Builders-Grid-Texture/8534776 Rez a prim, make it 10 x 10 wide, then drop the texture on it (texture ratio should be 1 to 1). For a larger size, edit the prim, (un-check stretch texture), then stretch prim to desired size (like your borders). Instant workbench to rez stuff on, build, drop a sky box on it & Know where your border is at all times while in the sky. Rez a prim and stretch it edge to edge of the exact property lines. (Mainland property can take a few linked prims to get the full layout). While in edit mode, adjust the number higher for the arrow up to place it in the sky. fly up to the prim & land on it, make a landmark. Great tip previously mentioned too: Edit that prim texture/color using a nice sky blue (sides/bottom) so it stands out less. I tend to build on a sky workbench (platform) where things are out of the way from the casual passer by, no trees or walls affecting my view, & projects left out don't bother the neighbors. For larger projects building right to the property's edge, I build & finish out about 90% done on a sky workbench, and then lower my work straight down onto the finished lot(s). Even in edit mode, Some projects don't like to rez in place from inventory when too close or right on property lines (This was done with the "Bay City Canal Terminal", you can find it in search, open to the public).

Yes, especially when the issue being AR'd is a definite covenant violation -- platforms rezzed at 300m, add-ons that are way over the 15m mark, parcel covered with a snow prim and a blizzard happening on the parcel. It is extremely frustrating when things like that are still there a week later. 2 hours ago, Koltari said: It's been 4 days since I AR'ed what I found not in theme next door. When an AR is submitted about something possibly being in theme - well, that is a whole different matter. There are so many opinions on what is in theme. For all we know, those type of things may have to be decided on in committee. I could understand why those might take a little longer -- especially with Bellisseria still being fairly new (in the grand scheme of things) and "in theme" may still be being worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
