Can i set my parcel to always mid-day?

[Christina Halpin]

The region allows me to change.  I did  get as far as getting a box to say 24 hour day, 0 hour night. I clicked on something and got from midnight but it went to sunrise/sunset.

What I need is for visitor's bodies to be fully lit, as for midday.

Thank you.

 

(I confess do not know what that one message means by key frame, time line, or what settings will be added.)

LL viewer:
menu- world- environment-my environments -open lirbrary,  click one you like   ( right click apply only to myself) everybody else can use a setting of their own, and can override the parcel environment settings.

 

firestorm
a) quick preferences .. sky/water sky settings.. 

or
b) as in LL viewer

So, if I left-click on, say, Dynamic Richness, everyone who comes to my parcel will have Dynamic Richness? Unless they opt out, but that's not my problem. I hadn't expected the computer to be that clever.

Thanks.

firestorm had an option to set the sky for 12pm. (I can't check it now, my land is on daylight anyway. But I will look.)

try Nam's Optimal Skin and Prim rather than Midday which is horrible.  CaWL is also another neutral well lit EEP.

the 24-hour daylight didn't work. I need one of Nam's things with a really bright night? I will try

I think I did everything right, you can see my menu below shows me having 24 hour of daylight and no night. But nothing changed, I still get night, sunset, and sunrise. Of well. Mybe it's a computer thing. thanks again.

did you even look at what, as i did, tell what path you need to follow? .. and not environment as you keep looking at?

On the left hand side, day length is at 4.0.  Slide it to 24.

Personally, as @Juan Marqueshas.mentioned, I just choose an EEP from inventory, right click and.then Apply To Parcel.

Yes. I did exactly what you said, choose 24-hour day, and it magically appeared in my land settings. thanks, I never would have thought that would happen, and I think it was supposed to work. I asked once in the Firestorm group why it didn't work and they said maybe it was the Linden computers.

So you can get 24 hours of daylight? Did you use 24 hour day #4? Or something else

thanks. I will try this. I set Dy Offset to 0.0. Was that right? And maybe I want a really long day to avoid sunrise and sunset. Hmmm.

Simply put, don't use the Environment tab in about land.  You don't need any of that for what you want.  You want to see everyone fully lit.  The environment tab is for doing custom lighting.  You want one lighting all the time which is simple.

In your inventory, find your Settings folder either in main inventory or Library.  Find CaWL or whichever one is bright enough for you, right click and Apply to Parcel.  Don't touch anything else as far as Environments. YOU will always see CaWL on your parcel.  Visitor will see it if they have their viewer set to shared environment.  Others may not if they have applied a setting to themselves.  All that you can control is what YOU see.

thanks! I want to try everything, but my Settings folder in Inventory is empty. Do I buy a CaWL? (Right, I am not worried about visitors who choose their own environment, and I want them to be able to apply night if they choose.)

Did you check you Library settings folder?  If nothing, these are free...
