Temp-On-Rez Prim Allotment Question

At one time on the forums there was an article that went into detail about how many temp-on-rez prims you can use based on the size of your parcel. For some reason I can't find this anymore. Does anyone happen to know what that formula was to figure that out? I'm having to downsize my land for my store and I use holo-vendors and wanted to make sure I don't have any issues when I set them up again. Thanks!

500 I believe.. somewhere around there anyway

I don't think your parcel limits temp objects, just sim, and there is (I believe) a 500 temp object limit per sim

Of course I could be wrong, in which case someone else will answer better.

The last formula Andrew Linden wrote about was
/54/28/132362/1.html#post1247906


For a short time before that it was much more restrictive,
/139/77/122902/1.html#post1164079

The earlier formula got a lot of attention because it broke some things, but the revision didn't get noticed so much.

temp_prim_limit = prim_limit - current_prim_count + min( 0.5 * current_prim_count + 400, 1000)


Ok so how do I use this to figure out what I need? I can figure out everything but that last part, the +400, 1000. What is that 1000 in reference to and what do I do with it in regards to the rest of the equation? Thanks for your help!

It means that either (0.5 * current_prim_count + 400) or 1000 is added, whichever of the two is smaller.

Protip: don't use temp-on-rez to get around parcel prim limits. The scripts and the temp prims themselves use up a lot of resources.

lol well clearly 400 is smaller than 1000, so then I guess my next question is, what does the 400 stand for then to determine if 400 is smaller than 1000?

And as I stated in my first post, I'm not doing this to go around prim limits, I just want to make sure my holo vendors will be within the limits still.

Why 400? Who knows? It all breaks if the sim hits its prim limit anyway.

Here it is as a script. The numbers are almost 2 years old, so the answer is intentionally a question

default
{

    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        vector here = llGetPos();
        
        // We'll be conservative and assume that temp prim counts are
        // per parcel, they could be pooled sim-wide like regular
        // prims but I'm too lazy to rez temp junk just to find out.

        integer prim_limit = llGetParcelMaxPrims(here, FALSE);
        integer current_prim_count = llGetParcelPrimCount(here, PARCEL_COUNT_TOTAL, FALSE);
        integer  temp_prim_limit = prim_limit - current_prim_count
                        + (integer) llListStatistics(LIST_STAT_MIN, [0.5 * current_prim_count + 400, 1000]);

        llWhisper(0, "You might get away with " + (string) temp_prim_limit + " temp prims?");
    }
}

Thank you very much for your help!
