    Posted · Edited by Mia Ichibara

    hi! i've been trying to find this skin everywhere but i can't seem to track it down.

    i think the skin is from enfer sombre or hime*dream, but i'm not sure exactly which.

    please help! thank you!

    i'm so sorry about the image compression.

    edit: i think the head is the m3 anime by utilizator!

    there are tens of thousands of different random strings of numbers tied to any account you own on any website. computers process and display information with strings of numbers. it's counterproductive to be worried about this, the uuid is there to make you identifiable so the game is playable, but if you're stressing over it to the point that the game is unplayable then it's doing the opposite of what it's supposed to be doing.

    If that's the case, then obviously the creator has given permission.  The concept really isn't all that hard to understand. It's what your Mom taught you: "It's not nice to take things that don't belong to you."  Get permission or don't do it.  😉

    thanks for the clarification, i'd only originally asked because my understanding of copyright is limited, i didn't know prior that uploading someone else's region textures would be infringement.

    is always best to obtain creative works from the creator either directly or thru a website/store where the creator has made their works available, rather than make assumptions when we are not sure

    okay, thanks. i'll download the textures from the website if i ever want to use them.

    Copying anything that someone else created without their permission is always an intellectual property infringement.  The fact that it is technically possible and that some people do it is no excuse for you to do it too.  Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act for an overview of how intellectual property rights are protected by law in the U.S.  Note that creative works do not need to have a registered copyright to be protected under the law.  

     

    even if the works are uploaded publicly by the owner who is directly giving anyone explicit permission to use them for any non-commercial purpose? presumably like a royalty free license? i dont know much about copyright but thats my understanding of what royalty free means

    No.  Absolutely not.  

    Read your Linden Lab TOS:

    2.7 You agree to respect the Intellectual Property Rights of other users, Linden Lab, and third parties.

    You agree that you will not publish, or submit to any part of the Service, any Content that is protected by Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise subject to proprietary rights, including trade secret or privacy rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from the rightful owner to upload, publish, or submit the Content and to grant Linden Lab and users of the Service all of the license rights granted in these Terms. etc.   ... etc ....

    Read the whole thing.

    ive actually read the tos. people constantly upload textures that break that specific rule. the uploader of the terrain i liked actually ripped the pngs off of a royalty free grass texture website (which i found out after reverse searching) so copying it wouldnt be infringing on intellectual property rights as far as im aware.

    Some standard terrain textures used on the Mainland are in the Textures subfolder in the Library folder at the bottom of your inventory.  You are free to copy and use those on any project, including a private region.  The textures on a private region are installed by the region's owner and are not generally transferable.  You can always ask the owner where she bought them, to get copies for yourself, but you cannot copy them legally from the land itself.  

    is screenshotting + uploading the screenshots as region textures allowed?

    can you purchase mainland estates?

    Some confusing terminology here. Premium members can certainly purchase Mainland parcels of land, but the Mainland estate is owned by Governor Linden -- in contrast to "private regions" that are part of a private, resident-owned estate.

    (The terms for private parcels are even more confusing, where you "buy" them in order to rent them from the estate owner. You can of course rent Mainland parcels, too, from their land owners. Both Mainland owners and Estate owners may collect rent from other residents, and pay monthly fees - "tier" - to the Lab.)

    Covenants are a whole different thing altogether: the rules for renters of a region. Typically uniform across an Estate (although Bellisseria, for example, has a covenant whereas most of Mainland doesn't).

    if someone was to purchase an entire mainland regions worth of land, would they obtain any of the controls that private region owners have? or just typical parcel controls over the whole parcel?

    how much is a private region's maintenance fee?

    in Land

    Posted

    i've been researching linden's official websites regarding land information, but i found different information on private region pricing. is the maintenance fee $229 or $295 for a full region, and is the maintenance fee $195 or $175 for a grandfathered full region? how much is the maintenance fee difference between a 20k and 30k region?

    is country-specific tax/VAT included with the price or calculated after? i live in the united kingdom and am subject to VAT, but i'm unsure if the VAT is included with the region pricing or calculated after.

    Cannot flatten my land

    in Mainland

    Posted

    I'm not sure what to do as I cannot properly flatten my mainland parcel.

    I've tried absolutely everything to do with terraforming, and tried a land flattening script object.

    When I use the flatten tool, it sculpts the land to match with the hills (abandoned land) behind my parcel. There isn't any way for me to flatten the land to a reasonable measure.
