Good day SLers  i was trying to build my own castle.. and since it is a castle.. is has to be big. i was building it in a sandbox... but when i reached like 75% - 80% of the build.. the castle was about 660 prims, which is a lot i've heard about a script or a way that i can make objects larger..... so i can significantly reduce the prims on my castle. i would really appreciate the help.. i'm new at this BTW Thank you. |

Do an inworld search on "megaprims" or maybe "oversized prims" -- they can't be created any more, afaik they are not properly supported by SL, they come with their own (sometimes weird) issues, but are cheap to buy.
(Personally, I tend to avoid them).

Sculpties may also be a way to avoid a lot of prims. For example, there are some good single-prim stairways out there that would otherwise require a boatload of prims to create (unless you'd settle for fake2D looking steps or something). This too is not a scripting solution.

Thank you for your help guys,,
i have tried mega prims.. but since i cant resize them,, i thought i might find a solution or something in here.
sculpties maybe the answer to this issue... i'll try to make something out of it...
Thank you again.. and any other solution is more than welcome.

You cannot resize mega's, but that's why there are so many mega's. No resize but you can use path cut and dimple to adjust the mega's.

There is a free HUD called SALT. You put in the megaprim dimensions you want and it searches a database for the closest matches. Often, it gives a perfect match. You select, and it delivers it to you.
Read up about megaprims to avoid using them in an unacceptable way. In particular, avoid making them physical, though for a castle that should not be a problem.

actually,biggestproblem (at least before H4) was cuts.... don't stick them where people will be... if it's a floor, the cut side goes down, walls out, you get the idea
heres a fun idea... do the entire outerwall as amega sculpty...
not much helpfrom scripting I'm afraid, other than the afformentioned cutting on existing megas
