Decorating in Public Regions

### Website:

**Decorating in public regions** is allowed in certain circumstances. The first and foremost is by renting one of the doors in a public region. Another option is when Utherverse sets up parties or events and subsequently allows for decorators to do things in a public region, such as the parade wagons for the St. Patrick's Day parade or setting up a party for Utherverse in the RLC Street etc.

## Editing door textures

You can upload a texture to your door to change how it looks. Log into your Social Center then navigate to the following tabs: **Property** > **Doors** > **Licensed Doors**. From here, find the door you want to edit and click **Manage** then edit the door's texture, as well as toggle Automatic Renewal on or off.

It is possible to hire a decorator to customize your storefront. Both the door licensee and the decorator should be aware of the decorator guidelines, so that they can ensure any changes to their storefront will be approved. Licensed Decorators already have decorate permissions in public regions, and can bypass the request process.

### Requesting decorator permissions

The door licensee contacts Business Support with the following information:

* The name and region of the door, for example, “Street 044”, or “Door 44 on the RLC Street”

* The Username or Member ID of the decorator to grant decorator permissions to.

*If you are a decorator who’s been hired to decorate someone’s storefront, please send them the above information. Utherverse cannot grant decorator permissions until they have the door licensee’s consent.*

### To publish your changes

Request approval from Business Support. All decoration work in public regions is inspected by staff before publishing to the live. If your work is not approved, you will be contacted so you can make the necessary changes. Please allow two full business days for the approval process.

### Decorate permission is granted on a limited-time basis

Once your work is approved and published, your decorate permission for that region is removed. The decorate permission is removed after one week if no Approval request has been made. If you need extra time contact Business Support, otherwise any recent decoration changes may be considered abandoned and be removed.

## Guidelines

**If you do not abide by the guidelines below, you may be banned from decorating public regions. If the violation is severe, or if you violate the guidelines repeatedly, further appropriate action against your account will be considered without refund. This may include removal of roles and listings, and/or temporary or permanent Account bans.**

### General

1. **Confine decoration work to the door area that you have been given permission to edit.** Do not extend forward into the street, sideways into other storefront spaces, or up past what can be reasonably be expected of the storefront’s height. Ensure Props are touching the existing storefront area. If you see that another member’s door decor is broken or in violation of the guidelines, open a Business Support ticket to let Utherverse know;
2. **Deleting, covering, altering, moving or cloning of existing props is forbidden**. Cloning your own props is fine, but do not clone existing RLC props or other members’ props as they sometimes include hidden scripts which can cause lag. If the door licensee wants to change the look of their Door prop, they are able to change the texture through their Social Center ONLY. You may not edit or cover the Auction Door prop.

### Signage and design

1. **Ensure all images/textures are appropriately sized and placed.**
	1. File sizes should be the minimum possible that will display correctly;
	2. Image sizes should be in multiples of 8, when possible, such as 128, 256, 512, 768, etc.;
	3. Ensure signs are placed an appropriate distance from any walls or props behind them to avoid a blinking effect when viewed from a distance.
	4. Textures added to prop(s) must be mapped correctly on the texture map. Textures should not look stretched or deformed on a prop.
2. **Signage and designs must convey a professional look at all times.** Keep all designs streamlined and tidy. Decoration should be properly representative of the business that is featured at that store front;
3. **Design work must be consistent with the look and feel of the street.** Do not completely cover the existing surface of the building. Some of the building face should be visible at street level;
4. **No hardcore, trademarked, copyright protected or offensive material is permitted.** Absolutely no adult content is allowed in non-adult regions.

### Scripts, clicks, and lag

1. **No flash, animation, or any other scripts that are known for causing lag.** Ensure you know what scripts can cause lag, and use the Measure Props tool to double check your work.
2. As mentioned above, **image sizes should be in multiples of 8, when possible**, such as 128, 256, 512, 768, etc.
3. **Hardcoded website links, VWW URLs or any other porting scripts or plugins are strictly forbidden.** Door licensees may have as much clickable signage as they like in their own region, but their public storefront has be free of clicking hazards.
4. **Images/textures should be set to cache 'Forever'.** This allows the image file to be stored locally, so people don't have to re-load it every time they enter the area.
