From: Day Oh Landmarks are indeed assets, you download them like anything else and it's a simple text file like this:
Landmark version 2
region_id ada815d1-f254-cf31-50d8-ab9ec6d67c17
local_pos 65.29 157.30 352.24
TeleportLandmarkRequest takes a landmark asset ID, but to display the location on the map you need to download and parse the asset Thanks. That's great; it means there's hope. While there wouldn't be any easy way to invalidate all old LMs to a place, you could at least invalidate the known ones. How does one go about getting an asset removed? |

From: Quacken Nightfire During the Zindra exodus, I created a JIRA ticket, requesting the ability to remap landmarks and profile picks from old parcel to a new parcel. I've been told: "Unfortunately, we do not have the technology at this time that would allow us to automatically update people's picks and landmarks."
I don't know what "technology" they need to perform a database query, and I don't want to know... I saw that JIRA. It's not just a query if they didn't store each coordinate in a separate numeric field. Even then it might be an expensive query, especially if (as in the zindra case) lots of landowners are doing it in a short period. I'll open a JIRA to invalidate an LM. |

From: Kira Zobel On a less serious note, the new tenant should charge people to go noob-watching.  I'll bring popcorn. Great idea; I'll pass that on. From: Raudf Fox Am I evil for suggesting that the new tenant should set the land to damage and charge people to hunt erect noobs? Deliciously, evil, dear, and I bet this isn't the only reason. From: Pussycat Catnap So... YOU are the one who used to own the land where my shop is. I didn't realize you were Italian though.  Mi dispiace, tesoro! From: Snickers Snook Don't you mean pop up? Maybe the new owner should put in a greeter? Lol. I can imagine what it'd say. From: Jig Chippewa My place in Mimas had been a sex club and for the first year it was raining men. I thought my birthday had come (in more ways than one) /me considers a new marketing concept ... want a job I think you'd enjoy?  |

I don't know what "technology" they need to perform a database query, and I don't want to know... Even a primitive SQL database would have been a way to avoid this from ever cropping up... If LMs had been nothing more than pointers to some entry in the table - and land ownership somewhat akin. I'd have some way to change what my reference is for LMs that went to item X over to item Y. The complication of course comes in with LMs not being set to a routing point, but to wherever the person who makes one is standing when they make it. So what you'd really want is a placemarker and not a landmarker. I make a placemarker to 'Catbox Curios' and then if I moved that shop from Fietzo to Voidicus anyone with that placemaker would get auto referenced to the new spot. Ie: having LMs was the wrong way to do it from the beginning. |
