checking in/following up
why would i WANT to deal with stack dumps if i don't need to??? especially when i haven't had not a one since moula opened. if i'd know it was a possibility after visiting the modded hood, i wouldn't have been surprised and wouldn't have created this post. same with the mods following me after i'd left the hood - if known it could happen, then nothing to comment on about it!
know that i know about it, if i want to visit there, i'll just make sure to take of things that need doing and seeing people that need visiting before i go so that the stack dump doesn't affect other activities.
it's all quite simple really...
and, yes, these hoods are an individual preference thing. i've no objection to them (as i stated when they were announced) and i hope my post here didn't give that impression!! i loved seeing some of the funkiness created during the UU days...and am glad that some of that is again available...it livens things up a bit and gives opportunity for new explorations and activities (lake parties and actually being able to take a swim) as well as new games to be developed (not just marker games either - think sardines redux (with somewhat different rules maybe) and a host of other things - there's so much that is available with these mods being allowed!
i think susa'n has hit on something...in more ways than she intended, lol!
when i was there, i think there was more than one overlay happening - not really sure though as i wasn't able to fully investigate before i had to go take care of other things...
anyhoo, if only one is added in at a time, then that allows for rotations to occur and specific events can be planned to coincide with each particular overlay: bbq blast by the zamboni, celebrating yeesha's birthday with her in the cleft, soccer games easily attended by all, jalak games, how many avi's will fit in a pod, hunting parties outside the pods (with a contest on the forum, say, for best pic taken), even the d'nilympics could be started up again - with so many better places (since things can be customized) to hold the events ; etc and so on.
also, if 2 things are overlayed, that would give a whole different dimension/atmosphere to whatever event is taking place - like having the jalak towers/poles show up in the desert or on the top waterfall in eder. the combinations are endless - as are the events and games that can be developed for the various spots!
really, this could work out very well to bring the oldtimers back on a regular basis as well as bring newbies in! and could also be somewhat tied in with the 'april discoveries bring may mysteries' plan. a few things crossed over between the two ideas seems to me to be a good idea.
with susa'n's only add one layer thing - doing that may eliminate the lag issues (although i didn't notice hardly any the time i was there and it there were 15-20 people there at the time) and using only one overlay may completely get rid of the crashes/stack dumps...
