Fleetwood – New Water Route and Redesigned Monorail Track

There are once again some new changes to discover on Fleetwood.

The water route to the Fleetwood sim, located right next to Fleetwood Beach, has been completely redesigned to make it more beautiful and varied. Instead of simply travelling along a plain waterway, visitors can now follow a much more romantic and natural-looking river course by boat.

The route winds its way between rocks, past lush vegetation and many small scenic details that make the journey feel much more atmospheric. The idea was to turn the boat trip itself into a relaxing little experience, giving visitors the chance to enjoy the surroundings at their own pace. With the rock formations and greenery along the river, the whole waterway now feels more enclosed, natural and immersive.

The Monorail route has also been significantly redesigned and made much more interesting.

The train no longer travels only through open landscape. Parts of the route now lead directly between large rock formations, making the journey feel narrower, more dramatic and much more varied than before.

One of the highlights is a new section where the Monorail even passes through a rock tunnel. Together with the surrounding cliffs and rocky passages, the route now feels more like a small mountain railway than a simple sightseeing ride.

Visitors who already know Fleetwood will immediately notice the changes. Both the new water route and the redesigned Monorail track are intended to encourage people not only to visit the sim, but also to explore it in different ways.

So: take a boat and follow the river, or hop on the Monorail and simply enjoy the ride.

Fleetwood is located right next to Fleetwood Beach.

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead

Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.

And this one is very difficult to keep dead.

Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.

This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.

Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.

This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.

And, naturally...

YOU CAN RIDE IT.

Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?

A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him

Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.

The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.

But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.

After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.

Wait a bit...

...and he puts himself back together.

Then off he goes again.

There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.

Go Ahead. Hit Him.

The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.

Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.

Head, arms, body — down he goes.

Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.

It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.

And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.

We know how people are.

But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button

This may be my favorite part.

Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.

Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.

Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.

So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...

piggybacking on a zombie.

I think that wins Halloween.

When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better

Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.

The zombie falls apart.

Then he reassembles himself.

Then he walks back home.

Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.

The Engineering Behind the Silly

That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.

They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.

The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.

Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.

It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.

That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.

Build something.

Take it apart.

Learn how it works.

Change it.

And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.

Resurrect Something This Halloween

There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.

Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.

Just remember one important rule:

If you manage to kill him...

don't celebrate too quickly.

He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

🦋 Butterflies Always Near 🦋

Butterflies have a very special meaning to me.

At 96 years old, my mother was still creating. One of the last things she made for her daughters was a sequined butterfly. She carefully placed every single sequin by hand. She passed away only a few months later, on September 18, 2024.

Those butterflies became something I treasure, and now they have inspired this little creation.

Butterflies Always Near is a butterfly choker created in remembrance of my mother and also in memory of Dolly Parton, whose love of butterflies made this tribute feel especially fitting.

Each choker comes nestled inside a lavender butterfly keepsake box and will be given as a gift at Monentes Jewelry.

A butterfly may only stay for a moment, but somehow its beauty stays with us.

For those we love, and those we remember — butterflies are always near. 🦋

UPDATE:

🛠️ NEVERWORLD GRID — SERVER MIGRATION IN PROGRESS 🛠️

Hey everyone! NeverWorld Grid ran into a hardware issue on our end that required us to move to a new server. We're actively working through the migration — mounting the new system, restoring data, and getting everything relinked and rebooted.

The Main Grid is temporarily offline while this happens. Full data restoration takes time to do right, so we appreciate your patience — we want everything to come back exactly as it should, not rushed.

In the meantime, come build with us on the Dev Grid! 🏗️
Create an account and hop on right now:
🔗 https://dev.neverworldgrid.com/

Sandbox away, build, test, export — a good way to stay productive while we finish up.

We'll post the moment the Main Grid is back online. Thanks for hanging in there with us — NWG's coming back stronger! 💙

Some of the most interesting developments in DreamGrid don't arrive with a lot of noise.

Fred Beckhusen just quietly keeps building.

Modding the LouTan movement reactive hex dancefloor to no longer only react to stepping on it physically, but also when on solo and couple dance balls , huds, chimeras etc. Why is this challenging? sounds ez? Well, opensim and sl treat you as a ghost more or less when you are being animated. You are no longer a physical thing. While my enhancements are far from flawless, i feel it adds an extra level of realism and interest to an already super cool item. Found the original from Druskus and ZoneNations, i do believe. so all credit to him and them. I'm just trying to make it even cooler!

You thought we were gone?

We’ve been hiding UNDERGROUND, charging the speakers, feeding the demons and arguing over who gets the better tunes.

DJ CHOCOLATE — 11AM → 1PM
ADRIAN MOON — 1PM → 3PM

Expect funky basslines, disco grooves, shimmering synths, dirty little edits, deep house flavours and enough groove to make even the furniture start dancing.

Basically...
disco went underground, got darker, got sexier and found a bassline.

Come for the music.

FLEETWOOD BEACH PLATES 1 - Say Good bye to terraforming

One request in advance: Please give me feedback on whether you find the plates useful and whether I should continue developing them. Your feedback helps me with my work. Thank you very much!

FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates: Flexible Terrain for OpenSim – Without Traditional Terraforming

With the FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates, landscapes in OpenSim can be designed much more flexibly than with standard sim terrain alone. Instead of laboriously raising, lowering, and repeatedly adjusting the fixed region terrain, you build your landscape from freely placeable mesh terrain plates.

This makes it possible to create beaches, dunes, forest areas, transition zones, paths, slopes, and entire landscape sections exactly where you need them.

The major advantage: the plates remain objects. You can move, rotate, scale, replace, or completely rearrange them at any time without permanently altering the actual sim terrain.

Seamless Textures Across Multiple Plates

The system automatically aligns textures to the region coordinates. This means the texture does not restart on every individual plate, but continues across neighboring plates.

The size, position, and rotation of each terrain plate are automatically taken into account. If a plate is moved, rotated, or scaled, the texture alignment adjusts accordingly.

The result is a continuous landscape in which the individual terrain plates are much less noticeable as separate objects.

Automatic Tiling

The texture is automatically adjusted to the size of the plate.

One texture tile corresponds to a fixed terrain size within the system. Larger plates automatically receive more repeats, while smaller plates receive fewer.

This means the user does not have to manually adjust texture repeats, offsets, and rotation for every single terrain plate.

Central Texture Control

Clicking on a terrain plate opens the integrated texture menu.

The textures stored in the plate’s inventory are detected automatically and can be selected directly. No complicated naming convention is required.

You can also use your own textures without any problem. The only requirement is that they are seamless, tileable textures.

Simply place new textures into the terrain plate’s inventory. The system detects them automatically and displays them in the texture menu.

When a texture is changed, it is automatically applied to all related terrain plates within the same group.

For example, an entire beach area can be redesigned with a single texture change.

Brightness and Color Are Synchronized Too

Not only the texture itself can be changed together.

The surface color and brightness can also be synchronized within a group. This allows an entire landscape area to be made lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler without having to edit every plate individually.

The alpha value can also be synchronized.

This is especially useful when different terrain materials need to be visually matched to each other.

Terrain Groups

The terrain plates are already assigned to different terrain groups such as Beach, Forest, Dunes, or Rock.

Texture, brightness, and alpha are synchronized only within the corresponding group. A change made to the Beach Plates, for example, does not affect the Forest Plates.

This allows several different landscape areas on the same sim to be designed and adjusted independently.

Advantages Compared to Traditional Sim Terraforming

Traditional terraforming works well for the large basic shapes of a region, but it is considerably more limited when it comes to precise landscape forms.

The FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates offer much more freedom.

The plates can be freely moved, rotated, scaled, copied, deleted, or replaced at any time. This makes it easy to redesign a landscape later without having to rework the actual sim terrain.

Specially shaped mesh plates also make it possible to create terrain forms that are difficult or impossible to achieve with normal terraforming, such as:

gentle dunes,

beach slopes,

embankments,

hills,

depressions,

terrain steps,

shoreline areas,

or transitions into the water.

This is especially useful for beaches. A plate can, for example, begin to slope gently from its center and continue down to water level. This creates a controlled beach transition without having to lower large areas of the sim terrain.

Another advantage is the freedom of height. Mesh terrain does not have to be used only at ground level. Raised landscapes, terraces, sky landscapes, floating islands, or additional terrain levels can also be created.

The terrain plates function as modular landscape building blocks. Different shapes can be combined freely, for example flat plates, hills, dunes, depressions, beach slopes, transition pieces, or edge sections.

And if the landscape needs to be changed later, the entire terrain does not have to be rebuilt. The relevant plates can simply be moved, replaced, or removed.

FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates - Modular. Seamless. Freely placeable. Group-controlled.

For OpenSim landscapes that can be designed, expanded, and changed flexibly at any time.

You can find the plates in my main store.
