doesn't seem to work for me? i expect genesis plaza to stay loaded when i leave, and nothing else to load.

if you go to an empty parcel it keeps that scene loaded, if you enter a populated parcel it changes the preview to that parcel

hm ... i think it should just stick with the initial preview scene

how would you change the scene being previewed?

by restarting with the new location.

preview mode isn't really meant for walking around the world, it's meant for inspecting a scene while working on it.

would it make sense disabling /goto and /world if in preview?

i note it works well if i use a cmd line including the position, but if i don't then i end up stuck on the loading screen. does it help if we leave the preview parcel None if not specified, and overwrite it once we know the target parcel?

the salmon plane on your world is actually the green plane that extends all the way, but in preview for some reason it does not write alpha(??)

ah yes, it's using the out-of-bounds effect. forgot about that, please disregard.

Now the preview works like it used to, where changing parcels loads the new scene, but you can lock the preview to that parcel with /lock_preview
