Yman Juran Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Is it possible, and permitted to use a personal server, which can be hooked up via LL server to a specific location, a plot on a sim. Am a performer doing very high tech shows and on several occasions lag and rezz time is all slow and to many shows the sim and the audience watching cause the lag. I wonder if I had a personal server home, if it can be hocked up, connected to LL server and via them directly to a certain sim and on that sim to a certain area where my stage is. So when i perform with my partners, we are not effected by LL lag since all our action pulls power from mine, the personal server... Is such a set up possible - I really like to know..? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aishagain Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Short answer...No. SL is hosted on servers owned and operated by Linden Laboratory. You cannot link a server and download content directly to a location within SL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymews Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Yman, some performers mitigate render lag by de-rendering parcel/region objects in the scene not needed for the performance. And derender the audience avatars just leaving name tags on screen. Rendering only those avatars necessary for the performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yman Juran Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Do i need to de-rendering parcel/region objects one at the time to avoid lag ? And how will that feel--to perform and see nothing but your stage, tools and dance partners while all the rest surrounding stage is misty shadowry. Can I de-rendering all external parcel/ region objects in a single act ??? Never heard of this option before :-)) !

Yman Juran Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) To Aishagain. I dont want to download directly . I want to prepare stage and all in SL as normal...BUT the area on which the stage is located...lets say 40x40 meters is powered by my personal server through a connection with LL servers, This is what I am asking is an option or any other way in relation to a "outside LL server" so the performer ( I) dont experience any reduction in speed and time in down and up. Look at the idea as I rent your car, am a premium member in SL and personally pay the gasoline, insurance for the time of use of your car.. Powering the car ONLY for that space of time needed for the show...and have no permission to touch any item outside the stage area..and all items on that area are mine from inventory.

Mollymews Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) we can only work with what we have. Derendering is a mitigation just about performing to people we can't see. Travis Scott performed to a 12 million online audience on Fortnite. And he couldn't see any of them because of sharding. He just knew that the audience was there. One day hopefully SL will also have shards and performers will be able to do the same a vid of the Travis Scott performance, which is pretty cool, is here: edit add when one day SL does get shards then you will have what you have listed as wants Yman performer in one shard, audience in the other shards Edited May 3, 2020 by Mollymews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aishagain Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) @Yman Juran: Your idea runs into precisely the same barrier that I described in my original post, You simply cannot do it. End of. I don't make the rules here, LL does. I recall a ruse tried by a theatre company in SLsome years ago whereby the theatre was at the junction of four regions with the stage and actors on one region and the audience in the other three. It was a logistic nightmare and due to SL's "child agent" and "diagonal sim visibility" (kitty corner) bugs it failed. If it failed all those years ago, the likelihood of it working now is vanishingly small. Edited May 4, 2020 by Aishagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeatjedi Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 speaking of the OP's question, i heard LL allows rental of whole servers dedicated to your sim.. True or Farce? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yman Juran Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Advanced Member Resident 2 92 posts Report post Posted just now in Forum for Ll to answer: i heard LL allows rental of whole servers dedicated to your sim.. True or Farce? lol I like to learn if it is possible to rent a server, not for a full sim but for a part of a sim, a certain land area. As perfomer I would like to have a separate server handling my shows without any influence from the audience. So I like to learn if such an option to rent a server dedicated to a very specific area is a possibility?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aishagain Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) @Oz Linden: so you allow extermal sever connections directly to outside operations? That is news to me, But I guess you must know the answer! Or do you mean the "sim-corner" operation that the Shakespearian theatre used all those years ago? Sorry I am unclear as to what you mean. As to "it works well" it most certainly did not. Edited May 20, 2020 by Aishagain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz Linden Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I messed up the quoting on that reply... I meant the 4 corners region setup for large events. No, you can't run your own server, sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yman Juran Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 I know of all such sim combinations, and the 4 sim solution is best, 3 for audience and one for stages.. But what i like to find out is if a performer can rent a LL server to powerize precisely the area on which the stage is and no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arabellajones Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 14 hours ago, Oz Linden said: We do this all the time; it works well. That's the routine answer, widely used at the SL-Birthday events and others. With the content-delivery changes moving much of the high-volume traffic away from the Linden Lab servers things are very different from "A few years ago". Whatever the event, it doesn't help that some creators are still producing grotesquely over-complex models. Just look at some avatars in wire-frame mode. If the mesh looks solid, it isn't worth using at a busy event. It also helps if people turn up early, and give their viewer cache time to fill. But avatar components and textures can still be a problem. Starting with a minimal draw-distance can help. Come SL17B and I shall be running around with an all mesh avatar showing under 15k ARC. That's not a perfect measure of the load I put on somebody's connection and viewer, but it does leave me wondering what excesses Bake-on-Mesh really cures.

That's not a perfect measure of the load I put on somebody's connection and viewer, but it does leave me wondering what excesses Bake-on-Mesh really cures. Unfortunately, Bakes on Mesh does not magically cure any excesses that have already been created. Bakes on Mesh does provide an option for texturing meshes (and some other objects) with marker textures so the user can use the avatar bakes system on attached meshes (and some other objects). Creators of products and users of those products will have to chose to use this new option in a way that reduces render complexity, instead of continuing with their excesses. Linden Lab did not create the excesses so they cannot eliminate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yman Juran Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 To arabellajones We have allready signed in with SL17B for shows, We just await their final decisions of which days they find best. I like to meet up with you and see if you can guide my setting up of stage and all with less potentials for lag. I will remove all scripts within all items conent first and then we see... With Light, Life & Love Yman To everyone else answering me: Please be aware that all the shows we do, need be done at location of event, we cant use a media to show our shows from a far distance sim/region.

Scripts have little effect on that. What you should be paying attention to is texture usage (the number and size of them), as well as the density of any mesh objects. Another unfortunate truth you'll have to deal with is that your visitors are the biggest source of "lag" on the sim and each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
