    LOD. It is the LOD of most meshes that is horrible at low levels, the map print reflects that. Objects with good LOD (some mesh airplanes, helicopters, even rock formations included) get a very nice and accurate print on the map - when the print update works 🤣 - I guess this could be overcome in a way like the LOD factor setting in the viewer, but it's a waste of resources. It would be much better if creators took the extra few minutes per mesh object to make a Lowest LOD model that matches the outline of the full detail object, instead of letting the updater create a 3-triangle heap of placeholder.

    I can evidence this is not true. I am one that tries as much as plausible to make proper LOD's to everything, and even my things with proper LOD that should (If your explanation were true) appear on the tile somewhat with the right shape, they ususally do not. Builds that should be square on map, sometimes appears round, with 6 edges just like rounded prims. They seem to have better chance to be identifiable, but in no way they hold their true shape on the lowest LOD. If this is no clear indicator that the render process simply does not reads mesh well (and even prims, making circles with 6 corners), I don't know what is, and again, I beleive something like the map tiles should have a better visual representation giving the use and importance they have.

    Yes, I know 🙂

    This is a temporary situation...  the data needed to generate the maps has been moved to AWS, but the code that does the work has not yet. Because of how the datacenter version expected to fetch that data, it was not possible for us to make it work until the code has been moved too. That move is in progress and shouldn't be too much longer (sorry, I don't want to jinx the developer by setting a date).

    Why not use the opportunity to update the rendered image too? That part seems has not seen an update even before sculpties were introduced.. now that mesh is very popular, we got maps that are mostly made out of random color shapes instead of clear structures and objects. Why are we conforming with such broken renders on something so used like the map tiles?

    hehe, yep, I think it will be more along the lines of the older homestead locations in terms of layouts.  Dirt paths, wooded, etc.  

    I doubt they would have anything like a trailer park, though.  (I live in a trailer park in RL and actually is pretty much like a normal neighborhood... Streets, etc.).

    I have to say it, i would dig trailer parks more than campers myself.

  4. They already answered most of that on their preview at the SLB. It is a "camp grounds" theme, forrest setting, camping feel. So there are trees, rivers, dirt paths, lots of nature. I would say the correct term for those are "campers" and not trailers, since trailers can give the idea of "trailer parks", and thats not it.

  5. I know there was a lot of last minute doing with them to have something ready to show for the SLB, they were not by any means ready or final, atlest most of them weren't. There was clear issues with continuity and optimization, and getting those trailers all worked out correctly, revised/fixed several times, and approved would definetly take some time.

    They been working on the SSP couple regions in what appears to be a slow pace, would think they are in the process of getting the final concept ready so they can just work the same thing across the continent. Regions are already there to start placing them down, just empty at the moment.

    Those would be some seriously big vehicles if they need to reserve 6,000 prims for them!

    it only takes couple mole rocks to fill that

    That is literally the definition of defamation taken from the dictionary. 

    As for your threats of legal action against me (I assume that's what you're referring to), and numerous others, I'm happy to tell you want to do with those as well. 

    This is an online forum.

    For a virtual world.

    Pixels.

    On a computer screen.

    I seem to remember you lecturing me on this very same issue once before, specifically in regard to harassment. 

    @Sylvia Tamalyn, we need your peacock meme, please. 

    Inform yourself better on the subject. This is not just "Pixels", is a communication channel.

    Reading comprehension, Seba. I do not have a secret Seba file, nor am I searching threads for Abnor's responses to you. I also do not dance on the end of your leash, but if you'd like, I can take you for a walk at the end of mine later. 

    def·a·ma·tion
    /ˌdefəˈmāSH(ə)n/
    noun: defamation; plural noun: defamations
    the action of damaging the good reputation of someone; slander or libel.

    Since you enjoy claiming you're being defamed, please show us the evidence of your previously good reputation. Otherwise I'm happy to tell you, in a place a little more lax with allowing the use of certain words, exactly what you can do with your defamation and your reputation. 

    Have a glorious day, spanky. 

    Is that a joke? Evidence of good reputation... that is really not how it is. Beth, I already told you something,  I wasn't joking.

    No one who has been on the forums long enough to watch what has been said needs to present you with evidence. People have seen what has happened. Surely your memory isn't so bad that you can't remember your own behaviour.

    One thing is the public opinion of the mole fan club and other are facts. If you are going to defame, you need to make sure you do have the facts, and back them up if needed.

    Do I really need to go through and link to all of Abnor's posts? I'm not going to because I really don't have time for that today, but the evidence is indeed there.

    You don't get to decide if someone else feels harassed or not - the decision belongs to the victim in question. 

    Go ahead Beth, please do.

    You can't say you have evidence without having it. That would be clear defaming. Id like to see it.

    Obviously, they have reasons why they do it the way that they do. They just don't feel it necessary to check with us experts to make sure we approve of their building techniques. :)

    Why you feel you have to contradict everything i say?

  12. Just now, Sylvia Tamalyn said:

    100% on point. There would be no concern about people going over to bother the moles while they are working if there hadn't already been a very clear record presented of *someone* doing exactly that.

    Id love to see all that evidence you have to support saying I "go over to bother the moles", but in the meantime, please refrain from defaming.

    Hi Daniel, I think she was saying that saying where the Moles are working is alerting those who are tempted to harass. Maybe would have worked better as a personal message.

    Moles are always working, this is just plain nonsence. Since when we have such tight Mole police protecting the forum from mole reports? Daniel has not done anything wrong. Let people be.

    Btw, Protecting harrasment with harrasment.. that sounds great!

    I didn't have time to reply to this before.

    I used to be the one pointing out the high LI impact on the Linden/Mole made content of Bellisseria. I am taking that back.

    It has to be visible from a distance, and it has to be higher LI. Private homes can use lower LI items that aren't holding the shape from 100 or 200 m away. It is the homeowners prerogative, to use low LI because they aren't responsible for what people who fly by, can see. The public places don't have that option.

    I like to see places like this. It adds to realism. It adds to beauty. It is sad that they aren't used more. I am not sure what could be done with that. I come from a country where it is no tradition for going out to the pub or coffee-shop and sit there 2-3 hours every evening. We stay at home, mostly. I am bringing it over to SL. Maybe we are so many who like to stay at home and change the flowers in our gardens, or find new furniture?

    But still, I like that the public pools are there! I would miss them if they were gone.

    I liked the option of having beverage served at the pools. To click a soda bottle that is there, and get one, instead of every person coming there pulls out their private soda, ice or beer from the inventory.

    At least I feel "Get one on the spot" adds to the immersion. I can't explain why.

    Good LOD's does not necesarilly means high land impact. There are ways to make objects with proper LOD and still be low on prim counts... What i have noticed on these linden objects is that the lower LODs still have pretty large poly counts, not much time is spent cutting down details. It can be a tedious process, i dont fully blame them, but i do have to disagree every time they put the LOD's as excuse, since they can do better on that.
