Feature Requests

Add @name highlights for local chat and group chat. It would help on keeping up track conversations on cluttered chats AND be useful for when someone @ highlights your name in chat for replies.

Many people in Second life use the skies above their region for things such as clubs, car and motorcycle tracks, Stores, etcetera. It would be a great feature if you could set a ground parcel limit height so that while someone might have a house on the ground with privacy settings, media and such. They would then also be able to use the sky above the cut off point that the owner has set for other things that may need the whole footprint of the region.

Would be great to have a marketplace button or tab in the profile that is active if that resident has set up a mp store.

This is a request for an optional setting within the region/estate tab in the viewer to increase the terrain resolution per meter. From what I can find, the max polygon resolution of SL terrain is 2 triangles per square meter (A vertex every meter, 257 vertices in each direction) and has remained so since 2004. The option to increase this even slightly (X2=4 tris per meter) would make a tremendous difference in the terraforming capabilities. I suggest this as a regional option for official and 3rd party viewers, rather than standardizing it across the whole grid or trying to implement it for sub-region/parcel level, browser or mobile, as it seems like that would be the least impactful method on performance across all delivery methods. Additionally, this could coincide with PBR terrain implementation; Adding this to features such as tri-planar mapping, possibly height and/or occlusion mapping would modernize the seriously out of date terrain quality within SL.

Apparently, Invisiprims, a neat feature for being able to use a shape to hide parts of objects, was not actually removed for a reason; it simply didn't get implemented because it was never an official feature. Per the latest SLCCUG: https://www.youtube.com/live/VNeuZap3lyc?si=D90wKzjlQQruS4qU&t=3496 Link is queued to the time explaining that there's nothing preventing invisiprims from being a thing again, and it'd be neat to have the option again!

and simply reactivate those profile on search list when they connect. It is the easiest way to clean up long lists of profiles of which none is no more on SL while bringing a better visibility on those who are making SL still be alive.

Some designers are starting to release some really beautiful clothes with PBR textures but I've been seeing some really weird effects.. Some materials come out SUPER shiny and reflective and even washed out, especially things like satin and leather textures. I've tried some of the available PBR windlights from marketplace and they seem to make a big difference, but I usually walk around either in Midday or "use shared environments" and the results are super unpredictable. So, I have ways of making sure things I wear look right to me, but I'm assuming most everyone else walking around sees the weird reflections. Are their any plans to make the default vewer windlight settings more compatible with PBR textures so everyone can see them correctly?

An option to remove items from favorites / wishlist after purchases on the marketplace.

Introduce a "Randomize Teleport" button to the map interface, represented by a dice icon, that allows users to instantly teleport to a random region on the grid. To ensure a seamless experience, the selected region must: Permit access based on the user's teleport permissions. Align with the user's maturity rating preferences. This feature aims to inspire exploration by encouraging users to discover new regions they might not typically visit, fostering greater engagement and social interactions across the grid.

Overall increase in group space for all residents is needed. There are hundreds of creators, business owners, and people in secondlife and so many are talented. It's a shame we can't show our support due to the current group limits. 42, 50, 70, and 140 is not enough. I am a current Premium plus member and 140 is just not enough. I find myself constantly having to choose between which groups to leave in order to join another. I propose an increase to the following: Basic Members--100 group limit Plus Members--150 group limit Premium Members--250 group limit Premium Plus Members--400 group limit People who are worried about notifications due to larger group limits please remember you can turn off group notifications. I think the larger group limits will help everyone whether they are business owners, consumers, or just someone making a group for hangout purposes. The current group limits don't allow us to scratch even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to supporting and connecting with others.
