Creating megaprims "feature" is back

Yeah, if you're a LINDEN.

It works well enough. It goes quickly because control-w works to close.

Handy hint btw... if you're editing permissions in an object's inventory... every time you change a permission the inventory list has to refresh.. making it a pain with a box, containing like 451 huge prims.

If you close the edit window after you've got the preferences panel(s) open, the "blink and wait" goes away, and bulk permissioning goes quite speedily.

They've done the rollout to 150 servers, will do about half the grid on Wednesday (so they say, anyway). It should be possible to check if the new server version lets megas be created or not.

Looks like mega creation is going away

I missed that "God Mode" part of it! Thank you for the clarification!

Looks like you're right. According to Andrew Linden in that transcript, the next server update will plug that "hole".

Its been killed now <sob>

Tried a custom size and it defaulted to 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 when i rezzed
(Using 'Nicholaz - EC-F)

Good i bought huge new set on SLX!! (2000 in varying increments!)

I made new ones an hour ago.

I have two kits available in Caledon Sound, one is a box full of custom megaprims that Ina Atlas of Primtings was kind enough to make, and a smaller kit of prims I made to my own specs. They're both up as freebies, sitting there next to the 32 foot long single-prim sculpted boat that was IMPOSSIBLE until tonight.

Still working with SLProxy... in the sims I frequent. Of course by the sounds of it, I don't expect that to last.

Hiya Jenrose..the box of MP's by 'Ina Atlas' is not purchasable but the other box was (thanks)

Nice boat by the way

Most likely a question of which sim you try it in (some are due for update tomorrow).

Has anyone found a region that checks if a new prim is huge?
Its not worth searching for, but worth sharing if found.

So far Apoda is clear to create for now. My parcel has create objects enabled in case someone needs it.

I am still able to create mega prims but cant get one over 100m anyone know why im limited to 100m?

Were you using the Nicholaz viewer? He intentionally nerfed it to 100m.

I'm using EyeCandy EC-f for last few days Loved the new buld megas feature, everything worked fine till about half an hour ago. Then I got the region restar notice so went for a wander for 10 - 15 mins and tp'd back home to get on with my building. When I get back guess what ? I can't build larger than 10m on my sim ! WTF ! tp'd to another sim and guess what I could go large there but still can't on my sim. Thanks for the restart Lindens you asshats have screwed up my day thats for sure.
Any body want to test out this for me either with the EC-f or SLProxy let me know I'm on for a while and have F**k all to do now.


PS the restart din't even update the map ! what a waste of time

Yeah, the server updates that they are deploying right now are closing the server side loophole that allowed megaprim creation. If you haven't yet made the ones you want, it's probably too late to make more, in many sims.

Looking over the Havok 4 meeting notes posted elsewhere, it seems the Lindens don't want to open the door to megaprim creation until they resolve a few more issues, including making it possible to return a prim that overlaps your parcel even if its root or center is NOT over your parcel, and the ability to have the prims at the edges of sims interact properly. So "official" megaprims may come to us eventually. But they considered this a premature release.

I made close to 200 new sizes that I felt would be handy as a Builder. Like many of the people here, I'll probably make them avaialable for free to all who want them. Most of mine are under 50 M in size, and my max was 100 M, since I was using the Nicholaz viewer to make them.

Thanks Ceera and others who may make your new kits available! Your set sounds perfect for me, as an occasional builder who always wanted that 30x30 or 40x20 wall prim ...
.

I was busy making the right prim for the job so I don't have a selection to fall back on. I stand by my previous statment "Asshats". They force crap on us we don't want and then when we finaly get something we do want the shut it down. F**k this I'm off to Open Sim they don't seem to have a problem with bigger than 10m prims, but then they aren't forcing you to buy land just to up your prim allowence so you can build what you want. I smell greenbacks in all this!!

yes am using the nicholaz viewer the other way usin sl proxy it keeps sayin cant find the ObjectAdd.Packet file and it even says the exact address of it but cant find it LOL

The packet files should be found if you change to the directory where they live before starting the proxy. Not that it matters much now

no whatever I do it says the same cant find the objectadd.packet file yet the file is just sitting there is really anoying as i need one for a sculptie so is trial and error getting the right size for it and its over 100m

It was great while it lasted..Managed to make my new skybox 100m x 72m x 72m (exact same size as my island in X & Y) with 6 prims, before exploit was killed.
Also managed to get some 'newly created' sets of Megaprims from some nice people in SL forums and SLX!

So not all bad..I still gained!!

My home sim just restarted and the "exploit" is closed. Nothing bigger than 10x10x10 now.



At least I got a good collection while it lasted.
