andrewjon Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I just wanted to see if I'm the only one with the issue. I'm planning on running rail service (though the STFU company Gridtrak, who also owns Vulture Air.. :matte-motes-delicious: ). The issue I have is that the sim Zeuzera's portion of the SLRR only has (at this moment) 94 prims available. The train I'm planning to use for service (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/XP-Diesel-Passenger-Train/6040535) is 174 prims (and that's only half of the train). I can't take this train through that sim. There is a way around that sim, but it is a long way out and around, adding at least 15 minutes on to the trip leaving out a couple good stations (mainly Agila).I very much doubt there is anything that can be done about it, but does anyone know of someway we can suggest to the lindens that we can get some more prim space there for those of using some of the better trains in world?

Amethyst Jetaime Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The only way to get more prims where the railway runs in that sim is to get more land in the region. The land doesn't have to be joined to the current land just be in the same region. The Linden's will not give land to the railway for free in order to raise the prim count. They don't give land for free to anyone and if they were so inclined, there would be much worthier causes than doing it so you can run a train through there. Whoever owns the land the rail runs on now would have to buy more land in the region, if any is available, or someone would have to do that and donate it to the group and pay the tier on it. Unless you are willing to do that your best bet if you want to run a train through there is to choose one with a much lower prim count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewjon Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 That figures.... and all the other trains are "s-word that can't be said here.... lol" .. Thanks for the info.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dora Gustafson Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I can see how terribly annoying that is The track only runs a few meters in that region Unfortunately I don't think LL want to do anything about it, so the only thing left is to make the landowner(s) free some prims :smileysurprised::smileyvery-happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qie Niangao Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 You may want to leave a Marketplace review warning other buyers that this particular train won't work on part of the SLRR. If you had Modify permissions, you could set the train to Temporary only while crossing the region, which would likely provide enough prims to pass through. (The Marketplace ad is a little confusing on this. The Permissions field shows no-mod, but the product image shows "COPY / MOD / TRANSFER".) If it's no-mod, maybe the creator would be willing to supply a version with a script to do that Temp trick for you; if it's mod perm, such a script -- though ugly -- wouldn't be that difficult to do yourself. As others have noted, this is a quite unusual case because that little corner is the only land in the whole sim that's Linden-owned. Most of the SLRR is in the Maintenance group, whereas this bit is owned by the Linden Department of Public Works (as are rez areas and stations, typically). That makes no difference, though, because the entire remainder of the region has a private owner, so there's just nowhere whence more prims could be had.

Baloo Uriza Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I wonder if those idiot self-rezzing vehicles have stopped navigating the trainlines and highways yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenumusVortex Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 i've had no problems with that double sim crossing, of course i put the deisel to i think 9 so i can zoom through it. As for your new venture idea, im on board (mind the pun) for it, as i said i got a diesel myself as well as a phenom 100 and E-170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewjon Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 You use the same engine as I do? Every time I try to blast through it, it nails me. I'm planning the route around that sim instead.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about AnnMarie's cars, they were removed by LL well over a year ago. Somewhere there is a thread about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qie Niangao Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I do recall they disappeared for a while, way back, but they came back for a long time -- over a year, I'm pretty sure -- until disappearing again in the last month or so. I don't know if they're gone for good this time or on hiatus as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qie Niangao Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It might have been over at SLU. The most recent disappearance definitely is. I assume we still can't link to URLs over there, but there's a thread on the first page of General SL Discussion topics, with the word "pesky" in the title.

Baloo Uriza Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Aah, good to hear. Granted, I live in the US, which despite having invented the internet, and despite $100/mo on internet service, means I *barely* can connect to Second Life for 3-4 hours per month on a good month wihtout losing connection...o yeah, hadn't had a chance to notice in a while.

VenumusVortex Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 yup. the [XP] Diesel Passenger Train. i figured since i was bored i would test that sim with that train, rezzed it at the rez zone just north of the sim you say only holds 98 prims, grabbed some speed down that little hill into that sim going at Speed: 9 and even though the double sim crossing was abit rough i still go through it with no problems.

A vehicle with a rider is supposed to be able to enter a parcel that doesn't have enough prims to support its rezzing because occupied vehicles are handled differently by the simulator. Doesn't mean that it always works though, especially when a region crossing is involved, although I've been noticing fewer "full parcel" errors lately.

andrewjon Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 It keeps knocking me off when I try to go.. even at 12 or 15 throttle.. No worries though.. The "long" way around really isn't too long around. And, actually, I do like it a bit better that way. I hit a couple nice stations there and a nice town that could serve as a good place for pickup and drop off of passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenumusVortex Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 true going through pawpaw is nice but its having to rotate the train in edit mode tends to be a pain in the you know what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewjon Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Oh no.. I don't edit rotate the train.. I pass a switch, flip it, drive backwards down to Crenulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
