Deploys to Main Server on the week beginning 30/8/2021?
Miller Thor replied to Aishagain's topic in Second Life Server
@Rider Linden I don't like to contradict you old friend, but please do not forget that some users are already in bed at this time or enjoy the evening in front of the TV or started their daily work at that time cause they are in a timezone far away from you. SL is an international platform and it would be nice to use this forum to inform all those who cannot be in SL at this time. -
Es gibt von Casper a System mit dem kannst ziemlich genau festlegn welcher bereich überwacht werdn soll. Wir verwendens seit Jahren um das Innere von Häusern vor unerwünschten Personen zschützen.

Let's look at the matter from the point of view of a region operator who does not see Second Life as an alternative to the flight simulator or as a replacement for various shipping simulators. In itself, enlarging the regions would be an optimal thing, only then would Linden Labs have to make some adjustments. If I assume the status quo, that although it is possible to have 30,000 land impacts for an additional charge, but still leave the script performance at the level of a 20,000 region according to the outdated algorithms, I hardly see any even when enlarged to e.g. a quarter square kilometer There is a chance that Linden will ever adapt the script values and from today's point of view it seems pointless to me to even think about it. As long as Linden Labs, for example, only looks at a script level of approx. 3500 active scripts for a 20,000 region in order to achieve full performance, you cut off all those who design their regions beautifully but also functionally and reduce the possibilities for you to use the functions that the manufacturers offer us today. Nowadays, for example, the operation of a multiseasonal region is only possible with the use of numerous designated and scripted objects, since otherwise the seasonal redesign would take dozens of hours in which the region would not be accessible. If we assume a quadrupling of the size of the region, the script performance should increase by eight times. To do this, however, one would have to completely rethink Linden Labs and finally adapt to the new demands that the technology offers. Technically, that would mean that one would have to rent far more servers, since the use of the processor cores on which today's regions are puddled would then also change for each region. Sure, you wouldn’t care much, as long as you have a cheap replacement for the flight simulator and also for those who prefer to enjoy shipping here instead of buying a multiplayer-compatible shipping simulator. But it is not indifferent to the thousands of other regional operators who want to operate their regions multifunctionally, multi-seasonally and with a very good performance. And that's why I first ask for a far-reaching adaptation of the script performance before one even thinks about enlarging the individual regions.

My vote is clearly going to Firestorm. I have been a region operator since 2008 and Firestorm offers me the best tools for this. The "Replace to last Position" tool alone saves me around 50 hours of work per seasonal changeover, since I can use it to restore objects to the regions with one click of the mouse. Even if I accidentally pick up an object, that way I can put it back in exactly the right place without having to make great adjustments. For me, over the year, including setting up the Christmas market and the Christmas decorations, this means a time saving of around 300 working hours that I can invest in other productive work.

Dont we have a Server Deploy that Week on Main channel?
Miller Thor replied to Miller Thor's topic in Second Life Server
I ask myself that too, but the main thing is that they have now filed in the billing maintenance. -

It was already predictable that we would be rolled this week on 2021-04-21.558586 only slowly the Teletubbies are getting even more interesting than this linden chaos. A message was not even posted in the grid status. Apparently the level of communication with the PAYING CUSTOMER drops to ZERO. -

@Maestro Linden Unfortunately, as usually only the description internal fixes. What do they contain, please? -

Miller Thor replied to Maestro Linden's topic in Second Life Server
Normal dayli maintenance restarts generally don't last as long as they used to. We used to have time for 2 large cups of coffee and a jam sandwich after we had restarted our regions. Today, the regions are back faster than we have drunk a cup. Linden has probably made very good adjustments and the new hardware probably shows what is possible as well. Linden would only have to use it. -

I´m absolutly with you 😉 . Good that Firestone is having the possibility to enable group chats so i can do my work on our regions without getting disturbed by group chats i dont need. -

Better, Linden labs also tells us that nothing happens this week, as you can't plan ahead of what you're going to do that day. I think it is good that this is the case. -
The topic of script load for users is in conversation for as long as the increase in script performance for the regions, where one could write novels about it. The new technology would easily allow the Stone Age limits to be increased far to achieve a much better performance. The limits that still apply today date back to the prehistoric days of SL. However, one should not increase the limits in order to create free access to script bombs and thus lag producers to hang even more scripts on the carcass, but for example to give regions like ours the opportunity to maintain a year-round operation without having to turn on and off permanently essential objects. This is absolutely counterproductive and only hinders the work of all those who work behind the scenes to maintain the smooth operation of the regions. The Estatetool should also provide the possibility to set fixed script loads for the guests of the region, so that they are both informed about their script load and are denied a longer stay if they do not discard their crap within a certain period of time. Also, so-called sales events, which in reality are nothing more than a kind of supermarket, should be placed on special servers so that they do not affect the rest of the grid. Because there most of these script bombers gather and usually stay there for hours only to generate traffic for the fact that they are offered, for example, a lower-priced underpants. Only today I was at one of these so-called sales events and thanks to 47 weak script bombers and 11753 active scripts I needed 10 minutes for a distance of almost 100 meters and 20 minutes until everything was loaded properly. The region was down to 10 region FPS and 12 to 15 physic FPS, and delayed like an ass in despair.

The server version or physical server does not change due to a manual restart of the region. I can only recommend to execute this approximately every to every 2 days. Why should everything move to another server? That would be completely unproductive and would bring nothing. -
As I said almost two years ago. EEP is a completely new concept which also requires completely new learning. Both from the first tutorials that gave us the minimum basics, as well as through questions and learning by doing, you learn it bit by bit and get on with it slowly. Especially when adjusting the colors and the horizon, for example, you can only find out and learn the most optimal in practice. My wife and I only learned from practice, because when we started using EEP on our regions, the overall concept was still in its infancy. With the time we are already quite experienced in it and are able to make corrections and settings easier, but even after 96 settings we created for an entire year we are still in the learning phase and are constantly discovering new things. You really have to deal with it very intensively over a few hours and try a lot to understand and learn the individual contexts. Don't despair and throw the towel in frustration when the first 100th time doesn't turn out the way you want. The 101st time will certainly get better. Only until we had finished the first production-ready settings for our regions, dozens of attempts passed, combined with very derisive curses.

Full Estate Avatar Support 100 ??? AWS Servers
Miller Thor replied to Wallace Wirefly's topic in Second Life Server
Just because a region is reported as fully, it does not mean that the entire potential of the region is actually being exploited. Often, the region owners or managers reduce the number of visitors allowed to prevent people with excessive script load from pulling down the region. We had a wedding last year with a total of 96 guests. Thanks to a good information policy, and we all know that weddings are usually attended by dozens of scripted overloaded guests, the region nevertheless ran with a very pleasant performance and there were no complaints about excessive delays.
