A note about the returnable encroachment feature... It introduces a new definition I'm calling "Estate Content". Estate content is stuff owned by the Estate Owner, or an Estate Manager. It is treated differently by the "returnable encroachment" feature, namely in order for Estate Content to be returned there is a special per-region setting that mus be enabled.
That is, each region will have two independent settings: allow_return_encroaching_object = true/false allow_return_encroaching_estate_object = true/false The reason for this split is that some estates already use encroachment as a feature, where there are some encroaching content that is considered "public content" such as roads and communal buildings. As to encroaching objects on the mainland... We'll eventually enable return of encroaching objects on the mainland after some private estates have been using it for a while. I expect we'll enable it on a few mainland regions and see how things go, then expand. Some mainland regions use encroachment as a feature and I think we should move a little slowly there until we have a good understanding of how things should be configured for the least damage. After that I suspect we'll enable encroachment return across all of mainland. As to cross-region encroachment, where an object is on one region but sticks into the parcel of another region... Return of cross-region encroaching objects is not supported yet, but we plan to implement it before mesh ships (early 2011). This means "simscape" megaprims will be at risk for encroachment return via neighboring regions. Estate owners can always disable encroachment return if they prefer to protect their simscapes, or they can just make sure their simscapes fall into the Estate Content category. Meanwhile on the mainland I think the returnable encroachment outweighs the simscape megaprim hack so I will push to make the demise of this hack a non-blocker. Eventually I'm sure we can come up with a solution and I hope it is a "real" simscape feature that doesn't rely on really really big megaprims. - Andrew On 12/22/2010 10:57 AM, Liny Odell wrote: > Another key point is "simscapes" that use megaprims that obviously covers all > parcels but is only visible along the outside of the region along the void. > Also, what about prims that are centered in a neiboring region?
