Help needed finding a particular sized Megaprim

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could get a megaprim that is either 30x45x0.25 or 0.5m? An alternate size would be 24x36x0.25 or 0.5m. I’ve checked the megaprim packs available for sale or free on the SLX but these sizes are not included. They are obviously not standard sizes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Reef.

You are in the same boat as me, but the 24 x 36 is in the parcel prims pack and also in the z=0.5 pack of the 7000 Megaprim pack

I am freaking trying to find a 12 x 7 x 0.5 or something like a 14 x 12 .. well not freaking but surprislorized that all creators seemed to have skipped the 7M sizes.

actually many useful sizes are missing from what I see.

I will look in my pile tonight when I get to my machine.

Have you tried the megaprim HUD?
37,000 megas there in.
DO NOT LOG OUT TP OR SIM CROSS WITH THIS ON.

Ok First off. Why are you posting about an object to use and not giving any references/links to acquire the object?

Second off, are you talking about the SALT HUD? I have also heard of that referred to as the "Megaprim HUD" and am wondering why you cannot logout or TP or sim cross with it on? I have had my SALT hud on since Friday - telporting all over the grid without issue, calling megaprims all day - so what gives with the warning?

If you are talking about a different HUD other than the SALT hud, can you please give us a link or location to get it?

Thanks.

Hi reef - ignore the other links in this thread. The link I am posting is to the SALT hud which gives you a tens of thousands of megaprims at your finger tips, all you do is type: (example) /1request 20 60 0.5 - and you will be sent a megaprim of that size in a matter of seconds and if it does not have that size it gives you a list of megaprims that are nearest in dimension and a single click will send that megaprim to you.

This has helped my inventory immensely since i was able to delete ALL megaprims in my inventory.

Give it a try [SALT Hud]:

Very nice but it doesnt give the size wanted, I tried it first.

So to say ignore the other links is out of order, i gave a link to a pack that does give the size required.

Sorry, my post takes into consideration inventory size and asset server issues with it. Loading down your inventory with tens of thousands of megaprims is not exactly a wise move for yourself or for the inventory system.

If I cannot find an exact size i want in the SALT hud, I adjust my build to what is available instead of unleashing hell once again in my inventory with thousands of megaprims sitting useless for the purpose of maybe finding 1 exact match.

Ok i accept that :)

But the SALT hud does not have them all.

In fact I have never found the size I needed from the HUd.

The only issue iI have is your staement to ignore all other posts, when I had given a link to a pack that provided the exact size the OP wanted.

What they do with the pack after they get the size they want is up to to them, they are free to delete it.

edit: I just sent the sizes neede to the OP in world

For something like 12x7, is it even worth worrying about? It's only a savings of one prim over just using a pair of 6x7's.

I guess if you're using a lot of them, it would cut your prim count in half, which could be significant. Maybe I just answered my own question?

Now I dont think you did.

If your useing a lot of them there is probbaly a better way to do it :)

depends on the build, but 7x12 is not really mega

Under normal circumstances totally true,

but I am challenged in more ways than one. I am trying to build something with a hard almost insane low prim limit and even redesigned the entire thing 2 times just to shave one prim each time. This one happens to be the one missing link that keeps me from finishing an entire build and make my max limit.

So yes it is worth digging for.


The next time the ability to make more Mega Prims comes around someone needs to make the common multiples of 4 sizes minus 1M. This is where I always run into not finding the right sizes. I use 0.5M walls and the floors always end up a rocket science project when prim count is a factor.

How about just making your walls not quite as tall, and letting the floor extend out the full 8 meters? Set your exterior texture's repeats and offsets accordingly, and it will look like a seamless exterior wall.

Or if you need the full wall height for some reason, then make the edges of the floor prim transparent, and it shouldn't be visible from the outside.

I never thought of making the edge of the floor trans.. I thought that you will get flicker if the edge of the floor and the outside wall are in the same spot, even when one is trans. I tried that with a sim bridge, but now come to think of it I might have used the edit tool to set the transparency not a script, so it might have been only 90%..

Thanks for the tip, I will try that again
