Thanks for taking a look at my most recent Cubie - focused on Available Prim count!
I have variations of other tools, some offered here at the Marketplace, which give a list of info useful for other activities. But most often I simply "build". When I do and it is on my own HOME parcel, I find myself opening the Land Window and flipping to the Objects tab over and over. All I want to know is "How many left" ?!! And I want it right there in front of me all the time - glance to the left there it is - glance to the right and continue building... And so I made this.
Where does this work?
The "meaningful" response is: On parcels of Sims your Avatar name individually owns/has rez rights to. I use it primarily on my Linden Parcel so that I know how many more objects I can rez out before the system says, "Noway!". I wear it all the time as a HUD, and click it once to turn off the white text/count when I am not building. Love this thing! Please note this item was built for use on land owned by individual avatars, e.g. Linden Home parcels owned by an individual Avatar, or purchased parcels owned by an Individual Avatar. It was not designed to work under any other land ownership scenario, e.g. Group Owned land, Rented land, etc. How can you tell? Open your ABOUT LAND on the parcel you want to use/build on, on the GENERAL tab, and if "Owner" shows your individual Avatar name then it will work. It will NOT work if the "Owner" name is anything else, e.g. "(Group Owned)", or any avatar name other than your individual building-avatar name.
In the bag:
* One 1LI Rezzable Cubie, which, when rezzed and turned on, shows nice, non-annoying white hovertext with only a few bits of info, and at the top of it all at Line-1 shows Available Prims. Bada-boom there it is! And the Users count on the sim also gives me an idea if lag may come into play. REZ n CLICK it to turn it on, leave it on while you build to see your Available Prims live count, then click again to turn it off. Off removes the hovertext, and all that is left is the Cubie toy! I keep this on my desk. The REZ version also warns you *gently* if you are using over 90% of your max prim count via a soft red glow reflected on the wall behind where it is rezzed (if there is a wall behind it). This is useful only on rare occasion to me. What I wanted was an almost unnoticeable glow - not some glaring fullbright nuisance! So, when you are using 1-90% of your max prims on your parcel, it will have a white gentle glow on the wall behind it (see AD pic 1), and using 91%+ will glow a soft gentle reddish reflection (see AD pic 2).
* HUD version included, worn on "Center 2", and then I Right-Click>EDIT and move it down to the bottom out of the way. Cannot spare 1 LI for the REZ version? No problem - I included it as a HUD also. I made the Cubie itty-bitty so as to take up only a tiny bit of screen Geography. Same white text, same click on/off of the Hover Text, and you can of course detach it anytime.
On days when all I wanna do is build, this is only a glance away, and no more click-click-clicky over and over the Land window! So repetitive eek! And the Available Prim Count itself is right at the top of the hovertext!
Set for redelivery anytime through Marketplace. Please let me know if any questions: I am available by IM most days of the year!
Wishing you fun,
