    Having Fun in Bellisseria

    in Linden Homes

    Posted

    We missed the Belli SLRR Tours today due to RL, so we went for a leisurely ride on the new tracks at sunset...

    We started in Poplar Springs (Road Rez on one side of the Station and Train Rez on the other!)  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Poplar Springs/60/30/23

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL scenery and flawlessly smooth ride!  Our highest praise to the hard working Moles for another fun adventure exploring Beautiful Bellissera.

    You have a beautiful style, Katherine.  I love your posts in this thread.  Thank you for inspiring me in many ways ♥

    I love this!  I know just where to put it!  Thanks Frigga!

    I missed you :D  I didn't realize I was addicted to your Shopping News!

    Rehab recommended??  I say NO NO NO!  (miss Amy Winehouse, too!  R.I.P. )

    Is Second Life more toxic than other games in general?

    @KharmaObscura This sounds terribly frustrating!  Have you tried using Live Chat (bypass Boxy 3000 by typing "Agent") and ask the Linden in Live Chat how to send the documents to someone in Governance?  Tommy Linden is the Linden who leads the Governance team, so you could also ask how to send the documents to Tommy Linden, possibly by Submitting a Ticket which does allow you to attach documents.

    I'm not sure if this is a good idea or an acceptable approach, but it is what I would do if this was happening to me.  It would be very helpful if the acknowledgement of a filed Abuse Report would alert us if our AR has been accepted or needs more information or has been filled out incorrectly, so at least we know if someone will look at it or if it went straight to the trash due to incomplete info or for some other reason.

    I have noticed that if multiple Residents AR the same incident, that does help as it shows its affecting more than one person's enjoyment of SL.

    Personally I've had mostly successful reports and I know because usually my ARs are about encroaching objects into a Public waterway or Road... and the objects do disappear.  Good luck and hopefully you will find a way to resolve this and get back to enjoying your Second Life ♥

    I find the level of toxicity in SL or the forums is directly proportional to my own sensitivity on any given day. When I am feeling insecure and unworthy, there is a lot of toxicity and when I feel good there is little to none. Funny how that works.

    So true!  I never thought about this before... but you certainly hit home for me with your response.  Thank you for your succinct insight. 🤩🥰

    I love SL and I love RL more because of SL.  I can escape RL by immersing myself in SL and when necessary, I escape SL with my partner and enjoy a binge of good movies or series which usually inspires an idea or a desire to create or build something in SL.

    Fun in a jet flying over Bellisseria we felt like Bellvis & Priscilla Presley in a private jet!  It is for the public but we happened to be the only passengers on this flight... boarding via red carpet...

    How do I build a walkable surface across a Region border?

    in Mainland

    But what about complex physics shapes like a rock outcropping? For this there is another trick you can do. Assuming the object is modifiable, rez a prim cube next to it in the same region the rock occupies. Drag copy another copy of the rock upward and use ctrl-z to snap it back to the same position as the original. Link that rock to the cube you rezzed making the cube the root. Now change the opacity so the entire linkset is invisible. Once you have done that,  edit ONLY the root using Edit Linked and move it across the border into the other region and hide it underground or inside something so you won't bump into it when walking. Now you have two objects with the exact same physics shape on both sides of the border.

    I used a sort of combination of @Candide LeMay, @Aethelwine and Abnor's suggestions... making an invisible copy of the rocks and linking the visible rocks to a prim just below the mesh on one side and the invisible rocks copy to a root in the other Region.  I then edited the root on each side to overlap the Region border and it works perfectly!   (Before and after gifs below)

    This works brilliantly!!  Abnor, you are so clever!  This is never something I would have thought to try but I completely understand why it works and is a great example of why its so educational and fun to watch Moles at work in SL!  We never know what tips and tricks we'll learn if we understand what they're doing! 🤩

    One of my favourite things to do in SL is watch Regions disappear and reappear on Restart Tuesdays.  I'm not sure why 🤔 but the shock of everything gone 😯 and the satisfaction of seeing it reappear is so gratifying 🤩

    We acquired a small parcel in an adjacent Region as a retreat just so we could enjoy the restarts on Tuesdays...

    image.thumb.png.d65498e4b938b5a771c2e154d1093557.png

    We've decided to give our parcels a more realistic makeover in the spirit of Three Cliffs Bay in Wales.  We currently experience falling through mesh only when walking east (to the right in the photo above) and see if anyone can help with this common Mainland Region Crossing issue, being... falling through mesh while walking across when the actual land is several metres below the mesh we wish to walk on.

    I have noticed on other builds that terraforming the land up to just beneath the mesh works very well... but this land is in a +/- 4m from default area and +4 m falls short of the mesh at water level.  I've also noticed that walking slow with a pause on or close to the crossing helps prevent falling through... but its easy to forget when the countdown to restart is ticking away!

    We look forward to experimenting and hope someone can provide a suggestion or a solution.  Thanks for reading my Topic ♥

    We went to visit Planet Tambalya at SLEA 6 today, scouting for interesting adventures Residents might enjoy.  It was terrific and so much fun!

    There are at least 3 Tours in these vehicles...
