🔧 Destination Guide — v1.1.2 Patch 🔧

Quick but important fix this round — if you've got any destinations with a space in the region name (like "Axiom Shipyard" or "Barefoot Lands"), this one's for you.

🐛 What was broken:
Saving a SLURL was silently stripping the URL-encoded space (%20), turning a working teleport link into a broken one — even though it looked correct when you typed/pasted it in. Clicking VISIT would launch the viewer but fail with "No regions found with that name."

✅ What's fixed:
SLURLs now save exactly as entered, encoding and all. Teleports to multi-word region names work correctly again.

⚠️ If you're upgrading: any existing destination with a space in its region name needs a quick re-save (open it in the admin, hit Update) to pick up the fix — no need to delete and recreate anything.

Small patch, big difference if you were hitting this one. 🧭

I went to the beach today… without ever leaving my computer.

I started with a simple sand castle, and of course one thing led to another. Before I knew it, there was a mermaid, an octopus, a sea turtle and finally a dolphin joining the party.

So now we have an entire little collection of sand sculptures!

I love how these turned out — especially all the tiny shells, starfish and carved details. They should be fun scattered along a beach or grouped together to make a little sand sculpture display.

Sometimes the best projects are the ones you didn't plan at all.

Hello friends ! Catronian Archipelago moved to the Neverworld grid ! You can expect the same activities and only some islands in the world were changed. Also we changed the website so everyone can find the way . The website will be updated every week with events on the homepage, so all captains and visitors from all grids know where to find the most recent information. Cheers ! :) https://catronian.jouwweb.nl

After a lot of work and testing, the new NewLifeItaly Viewer for Windows is finally available, created specifically for our grid.

This is not the usual Viewer that needs to be configured. It is already set up exclusively for NewLifeItaly, with our name, our icon and direct access to the grid.

The main new feature is the integration of Cam and Microphone directly inside the Viewer. A single button opens a narrow sidebar that does not cover your avatar or obstruct the view of the land. The camera and microphone can be activated separately, while the webcams of avatars in the same region are displayed vertically with scrolling.

We now have a Viewer designed to make NewLifeItaly even more complete and engaging, without requiring external programs.

The project will continue to grow with new features developed specifically for our grid.

A Small but Important Update on Textures

Ina Beaumont recently asked if I could include all of the textures with my items, not just the PBR materials, so that people who are not using a PBR-enabled viewer can still enjoy them properly.

I gave this some thought. I had been hoping that most everyone was moving toward PBR-enabled viewers, but Ina made a very good point—not everyone is there yet, and not everyone uses Firestorm.

So, going forward, I will include the complete set of textures that comes with the model, including the traditional textures as well as the PBR materials.

A quick note about texture sizes: please feel free to reduce them to whatever size works best for you. I have experimented with reducing them myself, but on many of the items I find that they become noticeably blurry, so the original size generally gives me the best results.

These are the textures produced with the model pack, and with the number of things I create, I simply don't have the time to resize and test every individual texture before release.

Please resize them as you wish and use whatever gives you the best balance between appearance and performance on your grid.

Thank you, Ina, for bringing this up. It was a good suggestion, and hopefully including everything will make my creations more accessible to everyone. ♥

I have added all the textures to the Hot Damn BBQ (sorry for the return trip to grab them) Also the Butterflies are Near Choker at Monentes Jewelry. Thank you Ina for helping me to realize the obvious, not everyone has or likes PBR!

💀 APOCALYPSE — THE NEW LOCATION 💀

Well… we survived the old place, so naturally we thought “let’s make things worse.” 😂

Welcome to The New Location Apocalypse — where the walls are crumbling, the candles are probably haunted, the furniture has questionable intentions, and somehow the music is still the safest thing in the building. 🖤🤣

This Monday, DJ Minxy & Adrian Moon are taking over the chaos and bringing the light into the darkness — because if the apocalypse is happening anyway, we might as well have a bloody good dance while it does! 🔥🎧

Expect big tunes, bad decisions, questionable dancing, good people and just enough madness to make the end of the world feel like a party. 😈💃🕺

So grab your friends, grab your favourite apocalypse survivor, and come discover our new darker playground…

Same beautiful madness. New location. Bigger chaos. 💀🖤

More control, more flexibility, still a better OpenSim experience. 🧭

Some places are built.
TumbleTwig grew out of an imagination.

What began as a little idea for a world where frogs and fairies might live has slowly become one of my favorite places in 3HG.

Follow the winding paths through the flowers, wander beneath the old trees, peek inside the tiny woodland homes, or simply sit beside the water and listen to the fountains. You never quite know what you might discover around the next bend.

There are Frog Fairies, hidden places, treehouses, lily ponds, curious little creatures and plenty of small details created simply because they made us smile.

And when evening settles over TumbleTwig and the moon rises above the trees, the whole place seems to become just a little more magical.

TumbleTwig is open to the public at 3HG.

Come wander. Explore. Sit awhile.

We are still plugging away at the new Wordpress website. I am kind of enjoying the challenge.

As it stands right now we cant switch until we figure out what we need to do to make sure when we upgrade dreamgrid the changes cant revert back. (any ideas)

On another note, I recently acquired jopensim 4 and joomla 4 that works with php 7. There is now a version being worked on for jopensim that would be compatible with 6. until we can switch to wordpress, i am tempted to see how this goes.

I know there are no security releases for 4 but our current version now has no new ones anyways. and 4 would be the only way to get to the later version of jopensim once its ready.

If we switch to wordpress, i thought it might be cool to add destinations on my website from other grids. Like shopping regions, clubs etc. If you own a grid, let me know your thoughts.

migration begins! after about a year of running we're making some changes to assetd server. originally it stored assets in ipfs and kept local zstd compressed files on each region server. this burned up alot of drive space and 10 years down the road just isn't sustainable. So I'm getting rid of ipfs and storing all assets in s3 bucket. assetd pulls the assets on request, fixes broken ones if needed. with squid cache between assetd and opensim things are much faster. squid keeps current assets in ram for fast loading and stores less active assets in an optimized file structure. we can adjust the levels to increase ram and drive cache. i'm currently moving 2,583,234 assets into s3 bucket. after that's complete we just need to restart the grid, shouldn't be any downtime during the transfer though. on dev server assets load super fast. so we hope to have a better experience on holoneon grid in the next few days.
