Chic Aeon Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I have done this several times before but cannot get my sky settings to stick -- let alone water. It seems like it was much easier "before". So hints appreciated. This is what my sky keep defaulting to even though I have my homemade skies "installed". I am back to a day cycle. I can find nowhere to turn OFF day cycle. Even if I make a new day cycle with all the same EEP throughout the day, and APPLY it to the region it reverts back to the typical Linden day default cycle. I can't get the sky I want to stick and become the "shared environment'. Any hints appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindens Rider Linden Posted July 29, 2022 Lindens Share Posted July 29, 2022 Check to be sure that you have "Use Shared Environment" clicked on the "World > Environment" menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is. That is my quandary . I have rented sims from this same place several times. I just checked again after a relog and it is still the same mainland sky setting. I am in Firestorm but have always used that with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does work differently if you go to World/Environment settings instead of quick preference and choose. At least it does for me.

It can't really be my FS viewer settings as "shared environment" and personal lighting are working on my mainland sim as expected. I have never had any trouble with any of that. So it must be something in the region????? The region where things are wonky is STRAND. All this checking mostly for @Rider Linden :D. I am beyond stumped unless the region just isn't working as it should. I had no problems with terrain textures and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 I restarted STRAND just in case. No change. Here is what the same EEP setting looks like at UMBER. So very much not working LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenna Huntsman Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Might be a silly question... Have you tried in the Linden viewer? Might be that you've found a bug with the FS version you're running, so firing up another viewer as a sanity check isn't a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND my settings are working as they should on all the other regions I have tested. So it really can't be as FS setting thing. I also restarted the region (didn't help). I also put in a ticket to the land holding company in case it is something in THEIR settings. But I have changed EEPs on their land before with no problem. Just not THIS land :D.

Aishagain Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 @Chic Aeon: like as not it isn't a bug but one or two oddities are turning up in 6.5.6, so I'd file a report on the FS JIRA, maybe not as a BUG but as a support request, someone's bound to help you sort this out.

In that case, I'm confused by this line: Quote also checked on Linden viewer but the EEP settings just aren't "viewable". That sounds to me like you didn't get as far as attempting to apply the settings, but instead the UI was different and didn't get far enough in to apply the settings - so clarification is needed.

I meant that the skies were STILL the default skies even though the land tab shows an EEP sky "should" be seen (see top post). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in 6.5.3. Not the new release. I didn't try resetting the skies in using the Linden viewer but I haven't had issues with this in FS before. And it's been a long and busy day. So maybe tomorrow. Also maybe the land owner folks will have some ideas. I did try the Linden viewer and it looks like it SHOULD work but when I hit the apply to region button the preview sky reverts to the default mainland sky. MANY TIMES. LATER: Landlord support has put in a ticket with LL. So may get fixed on their end -- hopefully anyway.

Chic Aeon Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Reporting the fix on this. In the REGION tab the environment says that parcel owners can override. I had set things at the region level since there were no parcels. I had to either take that check out OR put the EEP skies in using the LAND TAB. So fixed now. Supposedly I will not forget that. EDIT: It turns out the instructions given didn't actually fix the issue. After log in using "shared" gave the Linden skies again. BUT I went into the Land Tab and chose (use region settings --- these I had changed also) and it appears to be working now. This seems a bit convoluted to me but if it is fixed I'll be happy. Fingers crossed. Edited August 3, 2022 by Chic Aeon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futara Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I absolutely hate this EEP thing... Is there not a way to just shut it off and use standard settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
