Parcel WL
Overview
Parcel Windlight sharing is a feature of Phoenix that allows land owners to specify a Windlight preset for the viewer to use while on their land at the parcel level.
How It Works
5 seconds after entering land with parcel WL, the viewer will prompt asking for permission to change settings or ignore them. All permission are reset upon relogging. The settings will auto apply if any of the following are true:
- The land is owned yourself
- The land is owned by a friend
- The land is deeded to group you are a member of
- Previously granted permission to change to the same land owner on this or another parcel
Clearing the WL settings after they have been applied is simple, just change them via any of the regular means. Parcel WL settings will only reapply after leaving and entering again. Revoking permission and resetting to region default is possible by clicking the WL icon in the status bar at the top of the viewer to the left of the location info.
How To Use
The land owner just needs to put a plain text string at the end of the parcel description. Parcel description is set in the About Land floater, General tab.
/*Windlight Sky: "[name of the preset]"*/
Windlight water presets are also supported:
/*Windlight Sky: "[name of the preset]" Water: "[name of the WL water preset]"*/
Water settings can be used by its self just like sky if wanted.
Example: If the sky preset is to be [TOR] BIG SUN - Awwyeah and the water preset [TOR] Watermelon juice and the parcels description is "My awesome place" then the parcel description would be like this:
My awesome place /*Windlight Sky: "[TOR] BIG SUN - Awwyeah" Water: "[TOR] Watermelon juice"*/
Zones
Parcel WL settings also support zoned settings based on altitude. This allows skyboxes to have a different sky settings than ground level.
/*Windlight Sky @ [lower]m to [upper]m: "[name of preset]"*/
Example: If the parcel wide settings are to be [TOR] MIDDAY - Cheery cyan for the sky and [TOR] Ice-like for the water with a skybox between 500 meters and 600 meters using [TOR] NIGHT - Moony for its sky, the config line would like like so:
/*Windlight Sky: "[TOR] MIDDAY - Cheery cyan" Water: "[TOR] Ice-like" Sky @ 500m to 600m: "[TOR] NIGHT - Moony"*/
The parcel wide settings for sky and water are optional. Zones can be used by themselves leaving the rest of the land at region defaults.
Cavet
There is a 3 meter minimum distance between zones, zones should be at least 10 meters apart and over lap the desired area by a least 5 meters to allow for the 5 second delay on detecting changes.
How To Force Parcel WL To Always Override Region WL
If you have set region WL to use a fixed sky or a custom day cycle, region WL will always override parcel WL unless you use the **RegionOveride** flag
For example:
/*Windlight Sky: "[name of the preset]" Water: "[name of the WL water preset]"RegionOverride*/
Advanced
If there is not enough space in the desciption for the desired config line, there are several optional formatting and whitespace
/*Sky:"[preset]"Water:"[preset]"*/
Is the same as:
/*Windlight Sky:"[preset]" Water:"[preset]"*/
Zones can be shortened as well:
/*Sky@[lower]-[upper]:"[preset]"*/
