Terrain Library

Post by Shandon Loring »

Hi Ilan,
In further pursuit of recent Forum posting viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6978...

How long do Kitely download links stay available?
If they are persistent it occurs to me that we the Community could build a Terrain Library for Kitely users to access.
.oar files would possibly not be a good idea due to possible IP issues, as well as misunderstandings of how to apply them etc.
But perhaps a library of .raw files could be useful for folks.

I do have a small Terrain Library setup at Storylink Mall... hop://grid.kitely.com:8002/STORYLINK%20MALL/118/187/23
But it really it is just inworld links to our own googledrive, which people may be reluctant to download from, and who knows when I'll forget and erase my google drive or something! LoL

If the Kitely links are not persistent, and I suspect they are not, would you have any appetite for making them persistent? At least for .raw files?
Understandably that puts the storage on Kitely servers, which is of course not free, but is it negligible? Or perhaps this whole idea is just silly!

A 4x4 completely flat and empty terrain file is about 6kilobytes.. a 1x1 moderately terraformed terrain file appears to be about 800kb...

And of course there may be commercial considerations from those that offer Terrain files on Kitely Market...

Anyway.. just curious...

Thanks Ilan

Hi Shandon,

The Kitely forums aren't designed to be a free file repository, they are ment for exchanging information about Kitely. If you want to persistently host files then you should do so via one of the many cloud services that provide file hosting services.

The best community app for sharing files is Discord...
I mentioned it in my BlueSky social thread...
If your interested and have the time to be at a
discord channel now and then then contact me
to discuss more about it... my discord userid
is agustine#5637
