✨ Feature Requests

Ah, the good old days of texture-only clothing, before even we had sculpties! In those days, we could mix and match all possible layers of clothing from any combination of content creators, and it would always work . Well, it was also a pretty ugly world back then. Today, we have a gazillion mesh clothing. However, mixing and matching them is really, really an art — not even content from the same creator will correctly "fit". That is, if you wish to wear your favourite T-shirt with your favourite black lather jacket... it won't fit. Things will always "stick out". Current-generation mesh body HUDs can turn specific parts of the avatar mesh invisible — which goes a long way to make badly-rigged and/or older meshes to "fit" — but, of course, that works only on the body . There is no way to get the shirt to "play nice" with the jacket — especially if they come from different creators. But, as said, even the same creator will very likely not bother to make all their clothes "compatible" with each other. It's much nicer to sell mega-fatpacks and give up on your "other" content. One curious fashion side-effect was the adoption of crop tops, very short shirts, knotted shirts, etc., since you can hardly expect your "normal" shirt/top to play nicely with your favourite jeans. Belly-button piercings also became more popular. And some clever creators updated their ancient texture-clothing — especially tops and tight-fitted pants/leggings — simply because these will always fit under a jacket or coat or anything, being directly BOMed. I thought that this was simply one of those "unsolvable" problems, as it would be most unlikely for all content creators to agree to a set of "guidelines" for clothing to fit together. Therefore, I never considered asking for such a feature — it would be impossible to implement in practice. Then I saw this video: https://tv.sansar.com/watch?id=2943 Just... wow! All right, all right, I know that this is Sansar in 2022, and not Second Life; the rendering engine is completely different and absolutely unrelated. But... We all know what the former Sansar & High Fidelity teams have done to the SL rendering engine: in a word, magic . What exactly would be required to change the SL rendering engine to do exactly the same? The video shows some limitations — clothing is not "infinitely" stretchable there. But even a little bit helps. In fact, just that fantastic "merging" feature, where only the "outer" mesh is kept, while the "inner" mesh does not stick out — that would go a loooooooooooong way to fix all our mix'n'matching troubles! Please... work on this! 🥺🙏

Please create a "Region Offline", "Region Restarting" or "Region About To Restart" warning prompt in the login screen which detects what region you're attempting to log in to, including your Home, Last Login or from a specific region name. Then if the requested region is "Region Offline", "Region Restarting" or "Region About To Restart", the log in screen should suggest an alternative online location where it is currently safe to login to. This would prevent the frustration felt by people unable to log in to Second Life at their usual or last location, or lack the ability to log in by manually elsewhere by typing in another region name.

Groups: Allow groups to exclusively interact as a store brand, or as a personal/community group. Store brand, and community groups can provide a landmark, and there should be a new button provided to group called "VISIT PLACE" or "VISIT STORE" (see example: https://i.imgur.com/5jQtJbJ.png )

If Gacha is coming back to SL in full force as Transfer items, I feel we need the following: A standard, required script that allows the user to click on the machine and receive the odds of each category of item. Merchants may continue to set their own percentages, and tiers of rarity. For example, the output might look like this: Common: 80% Rare: 15% Ultra rare: 4% Secret rare: 1% Or another machine might look like this: Common: 75% Uncommon: 25% And a machine you might not want to play could display this: Common: 99.9% Rare: 0.01% The above are simply an example and not a suggestion for setting a specific required percentage or tiers. I still believe we should leave that up to creators, but that the chances of getting an item you want shouldn't be a mystery. This is a disclosure commonly included in Gacha games or games containing Lootboxes. Many Gachapon machines are also beginning to display odds in real world spaces. If folks want their feedback on maintaining the ban, there is another feedback post for that. I humbly request we keep this one on topic so it doesn't get merged. ❤

Sure would be helpful with inventory management if we could create new folders while accessing items using the Recent Items tab.

This feature would allow creators to negatively flip an object. So if you wanted to mirror an object, like a corner of a building, you would copy the objects and type in the editor XYZ SIZE window - (negative) before the number to flip it. Very useful with structures and would save a lot of time on imports and texturing.

Many of our creatives are leaving the community for other platforms, and regular players leaving as it feels like growth has stagnated too long. With the age of the game it is getting more and more rare for people to stumble into secondlife and stay. Bringing the game back to steam will give a trusted platform for people to discover the game through, and while buying linden through steam might not be as profitable having to cut in another platform, but if it is done right it could at least bring in new players and help them migrate to the off steam downloads. Steam has changed a lot since last SL was on it, now featuring games with adult content, SL is tame by most comparisons.

Be able to organize and delete things from inventory on webpage

Currently, users must log in and be in-world to change their online status. However, the option to appear offline should be available before logging into the platform, allowing users to manage their visibility outside the game. Sometimes, users may want to log in simply to work without interruptions and focus on their tasks quietly. This isn’t for any negative reason, but rather to give users the choice of whether or not they appear online to their friends. I would really appreciate having the option to use this feature occasionally—being able to change my online status either through the website or directly from the viewer, without having to log in.

With the sunsetting to come of the old Linden homes, it would be fantastic if those could be added to our Library or even be available at Mole Mart for those who'd like to use them on private or mainland parcels. (Molemart might be simpler than adding library content of all the themes.) thanks for any consideration in this regard!
