Just out of curiosity, why are sims always 256m x 256m in size? Is the
system running into an issue like a maximum floating point value? Does
it have to do with resources used to model the terrain? I wonder if
"open space" might be a matter addressed by just letting people define
private regions to be larger without getting more prims.
That would break so many scripts.
Back in the old suggestion system I called for an explicit mechanism
for scripts to ask the simulator size. This wouldn't allow for larger
sims soon, until it gets used in scripts that are currently looking
at <256,256,*> as the sim edge, but the absence of such a call
absolutely ensures that you can't make them larger. I think I have a
Jira out for this too, but Jira seems to be down right now so I can't
check.
This is such an obvious functionality that I'm still boggled it
wasn't in there at the start.
