I wish for terrain editing rights added to the world rights so we don't have
to make all builders CT's just so they can edit the terrain.
This may or may not be good for public build worlds but would be good to
have for privet worlds.

ever been to AWTeen? :-) the miracles of Demeter... It's the terrain editing
bot that enables everyone with build rights to edit terrain :P

Cool will check it out :-)

I have seen someone program mags bot to do something similar back in early
2002.
Not sure how Demeter dose it but the programmed mags bot used a certen
object, you moved it up or down to what ever height you wanted the terrain
to be at and using the create texture command on it told it what texture to
use on the terrain.
When you where done editing terrain you just deleted the object.

Same thing with demeter, but don't delete it, make it invisible.

It would still be nice to have more control over privileges that are currently grouped under "caretaker" not only for citizens, but for bots as well.

One reason I would like this added :-)
You can't have more then 5 CT's at a time.
If you add anymore then 5, any after the 5th on the world will not see.

In a very large world all of those terrain control objects would likely create a large load on bandwidth and disk space.

AWTeen uses it and it works just fine :-) and AWTeen is probably a much
bigger world than many ppl can afford :P

I'm hosting a world, and there are more than 5 CT's listed in it...? and it
works just fine?

At one object per cell with terrain data (not blindly one object per cell),
I don't believe this represents a significant impact on either, and any
impact that it does represent is far outweighed by the benefit it brings to
a building world that wants to share terrain rights.

I think the bot is more intelligent than its given credit for in terms of
managing its own memory and querying the terrain objects. Experienced
developers generally have more than sufficient foresight in such matters.

hmm they must have fixed it then and didn't tell anyone lol
I do remember having 7 CT's and the 6th and 7th ones could not edit terrain.
