Yellow Glow Flies

Come and see them in action at my store (To find them go out side of the store and turn right, they are under a tree on the other side of the small pound). Tip go into midnight.

Other names for this insect are fire flies, glow beetles, glow bugs for this product I will be referring to them as glow flies.

These glow flies are designed to be place under trees, grassy areas, near ponds, to give a realistic impression that you have real living glow flies flying around on your land.

They are the perfect addition to any garden or large scale forest. They emit a small light sauce that will look incredible at night time.

The glow flies have a realism mode that can be enabled in the glow fly rezzing rock options named, Day/Night this option will make the glow flies only come at night time and disappear during the day. This option is great for those of you looking for the most realistic functionality possible within second life.

The glow flies will stay within a 5 meter radius of the rezzer perfect for setting up under trees, above grassy areas or near ponds.

Please note that only the glow fly rezzing rock is MOD the glow bugs them self’s are no mod.

The temp rezzer will only start if some one is within an 18 meter radius of the rezzer (Configurable up to 30 meters if needed) this way the glow flies are not rezzing 24/7 but only if some one is near by, this helps to reduce the over all resource usage.

Options:

Day/Night: Allows you to turn on or off the realism mode so that the glow flies will only come out at night time.

Count: Allows you to set how many glow flies you want to have rezz from 1 to 6.

Distance: This allows you to set the distance at which the glow flies will appear.

Despite being temp rezzing these glow flies are very low lag and use very little sim resources.

These glow flies do not use physics there for they have no physics time impact at all.

More information on temp rezzing.
Temp rezzing is often avoided on sims because of its bad reputation in using a lot of resources and causing sims to experience lag. I am very pleased to announce that I have found the perfect balance between resource usage and temp rezzing glow flies. Not only will these glow flies look spectacular, they will not cause any noticeable performance loss in your sim.

Script time.
Each glow fly uses 1 script that is 16kb in size and using around 0.001 ms Min 0.002 ms Max.

The glow fly rezzer uses 1 script that is 16kb in size and using around ~0.004ms while idle and ~0.018ms while in operation.

Remember before checking script times make sure you give every thing about 2 minutes to settle down. Script times are always higher when first rezzed.

FAQ:

Q: Day/Night Settings. I set midnight in my viewer but the glow flies did not come out?
A: Remember that this reads the regions Day and Night time based on the suns positions so setting midnight on your viewer will not have any effect on the glow flies.

Q: Day/Night Settings. I use a fixed sky windlight setting and the glow flies do not come out even though my fixed windlight setting is night time?
A: This option is not practical to use with a fixed sky windlight setting in this case because you have locked the time of day on your parcel it is better to not have this option enabled.
