AZ Observatory House v2.0 Version 2

I have had a love affair with lighthouses for as long as I can remember, and there are many gorgeous designs in SL...but I have found few that provide enough space in which to setup a home. Therefore the AZ Observatory House has been created to provide my ideal lighthouse/observatory home that has three livable floors. The rustic feel provides a lived-in old world space that hopefully will provide wonderful open views of your countryside or water!

*Version 2 now incorporates some new mesh building items that give the whole prim house a better look and additional features to enjoy, such as the my new mesh fireplace, external fencing, working shutter windows, chandelier in top viewing room.

+HOUSE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS +
The house includes a main window/curtain control script available by touching anywhere on the main house
main = privacy | open | lit | windowOPEN | windowSHUT | shutterOPEN | shutterCLOSE | allOPEN | allCLOSE
admin = owner | group | public (when rezzed menu defaults to owner only)

DOOR CURTAINS
The curtains located near any of the french doors also respond to touch to open/close. The top curtains are only visible when "privacy or lit" menu choices have been activated.

FIREPLACE TEXTURE & DESIGN MENU - click anywhere on the fireplace to access menu:
main = build | light fire | fire out | clean | small fire | options
options = marble | dark wood | aged wood | white | white dec | vintage | vintage dec
admin = owner | group | public
(when rezzed menu defaults to owner only)

EXTERNAL DOOR WALL LIGHT
Group & Public menu = lights-OFF | lights-ON| lights-AUTO
Owner Menu also inc = owner | group | public
*lights-AUTO : lights will now respond to the SL default day cycle

TOP CHANDELIER
Simply touch to turn on / off. Please note most items in the build can be tinted and modified to change colour, or shine etc.
To increase drop height simple modify the cord prim in the build menu to stretch to desired length. Please note if you unlink this prim (cord is a torus) and relink the land impact may blow out, so always keep it linked or to fix simply link it to another item and make it physics none.

WINDOW BENCHES ANIMATION MENU
Top floor window seats each contain 12 sitting and laying animations (click and sit on main seat cushion, touch again to access menu)
Use chat window type /1a to access positioning menu.

DOOR SCRIPT - permissions and movement Included in all doors/trapdoor is a mod/copy script. Right click on the door > open the build menu > in the contents tab double click open the script. You will find instructions at the top of the script to change access permissions, including if you want to grant specific access to a avatar not in a shared group. (when rezzed access is set to owner).
__________________________________

+ UNPACKING +
I would suggest opening the "build" menu prior to rezzing anything as this allows for easy initial placement of the building group (as the fireplace and chandelier are not attached to the house build).
_________________________________

All new mesh designs are:
*100% Original Mesh
*Materials enabled & included where optimal
*Modify / Copy / NO TRANSFER
*Optimised scripts

+ PLEASE NOTE +

PRIM / LI - when all items are linked together or to the controller prims li number will reduce due to prim accounting methods (setting physics in build menu for many linked items to none also reduces load)

RESIZING - mesh the results can be somewhat varied (very high counts can suddenly occur) so please use caution.

PHYSICS - where appropriate each build has a custom physics shape built in, therefore they should be kept as prim or none, not convex hull (under physics shape features in the build menu).

MATERIALS - are added in builds where they add value. If you do not like how they look or aren't able to turn the advanced materials settings on due to pc constraints then feel free to remove them from the texture tab in the build window "bumpiness" "shininess".
