How To Improve SLGI Projects

SLGI or Second Life Geography Institute is a resident-made organization within Second Life, designed to improve our understanding about the Geography of our virtual world. You can take part in all projects. You can help improve the knowledge and help others learn about the wonderful things that our virtual world holds.

**SLGI Transportation Systems**

The vehicles that are currently in use, the SLGI Trains, SLGI Fleet and SLGI Taxis, are gifts that we received from fellow residents. You can donate vehicles to use to us. The conditions are:

GENERAL FEATURES

1. Vehicles must not have more than 20 prims (to avoid problems with lag).
2. All vehicles must be copy-modify (can be no-transfer). This is essential to upload scripts, notecards and set features needed for each route.
3. All vehicles must make no noise and no smoke (although little smoke can be ok).
4. All vehicles must have certain rotations (at zero rotation, they must point East).
5. Dominant colour must be green. This does not mean that they must be entirely green or have a specific type of green.
6. No lights, no glowing parts, no special effects.
7. No complicated textures or hard to rezz scripted prims (this can affect lag). No excessive transparent features.
8. Unconventional models are appreciated.

SLGI TRAINS

1. All trains must have wings or space to add wings (the wings are visible only while flying).
2. All trains must not be longer then a trolley (to avoid entering nearby parcels in tight spaces) and not too wide.
3. Trains must work well with the opensource train script (this affects the angles).

SLGI FLEET

1. All spaceships must not be bigger than a car (to avoid entering nearby parcels while flying through narrow spaces).
2. All spaceships must allow avatars to sit properly.

SLGI TAXIS

1. All taxis must be about the size of a chair.

IMPORTANT: All vehicles must be green. Models with other colour will not be accepted by default. It is, however, not required to be glowing or to have a specific type of green (or to be completely green).
