Unicorn house

What's up? November 5th, 2009

Sad day… i removed the unicorn house form Java Island.. Why? Well recently i asked Linden Lab to help me out with the lag. I find the lag on Java Island the highest of all the islands. A Linden visited the sim and advised me to reduce script-time. Well, scripts are high due to the scripted items like all the poseballs we have on the island. I set all to mono a while ago so it’s improved. But, one thing i cannot do so much about and that’s visitors. When i look at my top 10 highest scripts, i see 8avatars names popping up… Isn’t it strange, i should set the number of visitors to like 10 maximum and then i should also check every visitor for his or her scripts… Not possible and so not wanted. We build and pay for this island for others and ourselves to enjoy. It’s so awesome when you know others like and use what you created! That’s why it’s open to public!

But to try to keep the lag not caused by avatars, as low as possible i decided to reduce the number of scripts and prims. I checked on a regular basis if the unicorn house is often used and it’s not. Sorry for all who loved to be  in the petite cozy house… Maybe i can use it again somewhere, i will surely try! I also look into textures, all my own work, which is about 70% i think, is low lag. The bought ones i try to adjust so it will load faster and therefore reduce lag. Let me know if you feel its getting better or have any ideas about this :)

I created a notecard about reducing lag for avatars, it’s in the gold boxes you find all over Java Island. It’s a free box with tips and tricks. I will post the notecard text in the blog soon :)
