2020 #VWEDU: How to expand your Kitely virtual world. Megaworlds and teleport. Walk in TP works for avatars. Object TP for vehicles

How to expand your Kitely virtual world   

Megaworlds and teleport.  

Walk in TP for avatars. Object TP  for vehicles.

Consideration of how teleports and object teleports can extend the world for users to more distant points (as subways do for NYC).

Walkin TPs at Cookie II entry point

• Kitely responded to requests at a Kitely meeting by offering Megaworlds.
• Megaworlds are eight times the dimensions of traditional sims.
• These are a little over 2 kilometers on a side and run on their own server.  
• Kitely 8X8 megaworlds (This offer expires Nov. 30).  
• Kitely Megaworld. Over 2 KM on a side. With a server to itself. The area of 64 traditional sims. With no sim borders to cross.
• The demand has probably been enough to justify continuing the offer.
• Though the initial price ($100 USD per month) might increase.  
• The price will not increase for those who take the current offer.
• Can we go beyond 8x8?  

• Update 11/26/2020 OSCC Dec/ 5-6. 2020 Terra Nova, Utopia, Tangle, Craft and Kitely shine in user survey. VWBPE2021: RECONNAISSANCE Call for Proposals

When 8x8 is not enough

Connect worlds

• Each Kitely world is an independent "world."  It cannot be attached to another world.
• A connection to another Kitely world can be made by teleporter.
• There are teleporters offered on Kitely Market.
• Walk-in teleports would give the best sense of connection.
• If the destination region is active, it is like going through a door.
• Some teleports of this kind are at the Cookie II arrival point.
• HG address: grid.kitely.com:8002:Cookie II
• You could put the teleport prim along the whole side on your region.
• Or you could put a pedestrian tunnel there and a matching tunnel at the destination.
• You could put a distant image of the destination along that side also.
• Or you could put a subway station anywhere on your land

Walkin teleports

• Ingrid (within a grid) Travel tips for OpenSimulator . A DTA content page
• Running a big region in OpenSim. Lagbusters
• An OpenSimulator place can be big, with many destinations. The landmark solution. Land manager skills
• HG:Get people to the right destinations on opensim and hypergrid. HGProjects

But...

• If the destination had to start up, there would be a delay.
• The TP prim has to be placed by the region owner or estate manager.
• OSSL adds functions to LSL: threat levels control misuse   

Object (and riders) teleport

• OSSL provides a function that teleports objects with riders.   
• http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OsTeleportObject
• I have tested this function on my 8x8 world.  It works well within sim.
• I have not tested it on TP to another Kitely world 
• because I understand that Kayaker Magic has already tested it.
• He may make a commercial version. 
• This function could transfer trains, planes, and automobiles.
• With passengers
• Though I would expect trouble  with too many passengers at once.
