Speaking of landing points, I think my next #OpenSim and #SecondLife how-to will explain how to find a party on a sim if it isn’t right before your eyes.
This happens way too often: I’m at a party somewhere on a sim that isn’t in the immediate vicinity of the landing point. Someone teleports in with no coordinates given, so they land at the landing point. They keep standing at the landing point for a few minutes, then they teleport back out.
As if they were looking for a party, then they teleported to a sim with lots of avatars on it, and then they couldn’t cope with not having the party right in front of their nose.
As if they were unable to find a bunch of avatars on the map. As if taking a look at the map went beyond their imagination, and getting to where all those green dots are without a big teleporter in front of them labelled “Click here to get to the party” proved to be a Herculean task.
And I’m not even talking about newbies. I’m talking about avatars that are several years old.
That is, I might first have to write a tutorial on how to use the map to navigate.
