Thank you for careful reading.
Package includes:
- (mod/copy/transfer) various (toxic, morning white, black, milk, bloody, strange) mists scripts;
- read me;
Notes:
Script comes ready to use. Yes it ready to use without any code modifications. That is why several variations in yours folder.
In most cases worth to use prim mist (comes as part of water illusion in my store) cause of it is better compability with EEP (at least this time, fall of 2020). But for areas where accidently selecting alpha surfaces of prim mist not acceptable, no big choise but use particles. and this is where this script comes in use.
Script may suit your needs from Halloween decoration to any other mystic or not decor.
While original is area of ~42 meters uses for covering with mist, you may adjust it to higher or lower areas.
Script does not need to stay inside object and can be safely removed once placed. Object will keep particle functionality in memory and next user does not need script at all.
Remove script once you used it, don't waste SL resources.
Performance: IMPORTANT
This script uses particles.
While it set to use balanced number of particles and good density, any changes to higher values HEAVILY IMPACTS as any particle on SL performance. But even in original way it will reduce FPS, it is not exception, it is correct for any particle emitter in SL. Try to avoid particles script replacing it with simple prim surfaces with animated texture when you can, instead of particles, but if you still need that is why this package exists.
Do NOT MISTAKE with some creators MIST PRIMS build with sculpts or even mesh. Can be detected by having dozen vertical surfaces where mist texture follows (very similar to meadow sculpts or meshes). Thats mist prims are killers of FPS, for example while you walking through such prim mist FPS drops from 60 to 7 (seven). Of course many depends, but if it is enough big and close or above avatar height, it is fps killer for sure. Avoid it. Use current particle emitter scripts or create with two regular prims. To met this problem you need to have extreme graphics enabled, or particularly Advanced Lighting Mode on, as well full Shadows, that is why, it tried to calculate shadows drops from yours avatar in real time but dozen of surfaces interferes with each other.
While you may not use ALM and shadows or yours computer more powerful then average, performance may not be noticeable, but you rezzing such prims inworld, and that means other people who have best graphics enabled in SL may meet such issue.
How to use:
- Just drag and drop selected script on any prim you own. Prim must have modify permission;
- Done.
Modifications and Support:
While it is FULL MODIFY, there are NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
All you need to know mentioned here as well by this link http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlParticleSystem
If you still have questions, join any SL building group (ex. Builder's Brewery) and ask there.
Caveats:
- Before playing with particles script you may need to set yours graphics option to a maximum number of particles. Also place you are in may already uses many particles, so result of script modification will be visual different from normal sims, you may even not see particles at all. It is SL engine limitation of 8K particles, has nothing to do with script code.
- Script comes under Linden name as creator, don't misunderstand, code is mine, I place it under Linden name so people who don't like read, have reading disabilities not spread this script widely, so I would need to answer tons of people who see my name as creator
- Script replace particle effect of prim it was placed, no other interference. By SL limitations you cannot use in one prim two different particle scripts, if you need that, create one more prim and place other particle script in it.
License:
Allowed:
- to use in own creation as part of creation;
- to keep in one of yours alts for archive purposes;
- to modify code for own needs and products;
- use modified script in own products under no modify permissions;
- copy code in to new script under yours name that is great for customers support, all restrictions still stays.
Restrict;
- Leaving code opened while transferring to another person in any form of data and permissions;
- Script must be set to modify and no transfer;
- to sell original script no matter of permissions;
- to sell modified script no matter of permissions;
- to transfer under original creator name, you need to create new script and copy paste code of original or modified script in to it, this way yours customers will contact you, not me, or Linden.
- no custom support on original or modified code.
Wish you lag free second life.
