Mark your calendars!

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!

☕ Cozy Up & Grab Your Gifts!

🌙 **BLOODMOON MARKETPLACE IS NOW OPEN!** 🛍️



After many weeks of development and successful testing, we are happy to announce that the **BloodMoon Marketplace is now officially open!** 🎉

🔗 **Marketplace:**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace

📖 **Help Center:**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace/help.php

⚠️ **The Marketplace is brand new, so there are currently only a few products available.**

This launch is therefore also an invitation to **OpenSimulator creators**: if you create clothing, objects, buildings, scripts, animations, decorations, vehicles or any other content, you are welcome to create your own shop and start building the Marketplace with us. 🏪✨

The goal now is to gradually fill the Marketplace with creations from the community.

🛒 **FOR BUYERS**

You can browse shops and products, use favorites and carts, and purchase products directly from the Marketplace.

Products can be offered:

🪙 in **BM$**
💳 through **PayPal**
🔄 or with **both payment methods**

Whenever possible, we encourage **0 BM$ transactions and free sharing**, as BloodMoon is not intended to become a commercial grid.

Of course, every creator remains completely free to choose how they distribute their creations and to set their own prices.

🏪 **FOR CREATORS & SELLERS**

Creating a shop is free.

Creators can publish their products, organize them into one or several shops and choose how they want to distribute them.

💳 Creators who wish to monetize their work can use **PayPal**.

PayPal payments are sent **directly to the seller's own PayPal account**.

❤️ **BloodMoon takes no commission on Marketplace sales.**

PayPal's own transaction fees may still apply.

Depending on PayPal availability, buyers may also be able to pay by **bank card without having a PayPal account**.

📦 **THE MAGIC BOX**

Products are connected to the Marketplace through the official **BloodMoon Marketplace Magic Box**.

Simply:

📦 Rez your Magic Box on BloodMoon
🔑 Activate it from your Seller Area
📥 Add your products
🔄 Let the Magic Box synchronize automatically
🏪 Create your shop
🛍️ Publish your products
🚚 The Magic Box handles deliveries automatically

🏠 **NO LAND FOR YOUR MAGIC BOX?**

No problem!

BloodMoon is currently preparing a dedicated **Magic Box Hub** region with **small parcels provided completely free of charge** for Marketplace sellers who need a place to keep their Magic Box online.

🚧 **The region is still being prepared and the parcels are not available yet. They should be ready within the next few days.**

Once opened, you will simply be able to search the World Map for:

🌐 **Magic Box Hub**

Available parcels will be rentable for **0 BM$** and reserved for Marketplace Magic Boxes.

👤 **BLOODMOON ACCOUNT**

A **BloodMoon account is required to use the Marketplace**, purchase products and access seller features.

Creating a BloodMoon account is free.

❤️ **OUR PHILOSOPHY**

BloodMoon Marketplace was not created to turn BloodMoon into a commercial grid.

Its purpose is first and foremost to provide the OpenSimulator community with a modern and simple way to **share creations and distribute content**.

We therefore encourage creators who wish to share freely to offer their products for **0 BM$**.

At the same time, creators who wish to monetize their original work are free to do so through BM$ or PayPal.

**The choice always belongs to the creator.**

🌱 The Marketplace is only just beginning.

If you are a creator, **come create your shop, publish your creations and help us build the BloodMoon Marketplace!**

🌙 **LE BLOODMOON MARKETPLACE EST OUVERT !** 🛍️



Après plusieurs semaines de développement et de nombreux tests concluants, nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que le **BloodMoon Marketplace est désormais officiellement ouvert !** 🎉

🔗 **Marketplace :**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace

📖 **Centre d'aide :**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace/help.php

⚠️ **Le Marketplace vient tout juste d'ouvrir et il contient donc encore très peu de produits.**

Ce lancement est avant tout aussi une invitation aux **créateurs OpenSimulator** : si vous créez des vêtements, objets, bâtiments, scripts, animations, décorations, véhicules ou tout autre contenu, vous êtes les bienvenus pour créer votre propre boutique et participer avec nous au développement du Marketplace. 🏪✨

L'objectif est maintenant de remplir progressivement le Marketplace avec les créations de la communauté.

🛒 **POUR LES ACHETEURS**

Vous pouvez parcourir les boutiques et les produits, utiliser les favoris et les paniers, puis effectuer vos achats directement depuis le Marketplace.

Les produits peuvent être proposés :

🪙 en **BM$**
💳 via **PayPal**
🔄 ou avec **les deux moyens de paiement**

Lorsque cela est possible, nous encourageons les **transactions à 0 BM$ et le partage gratuit**, car BloodMoon n'a pas vocation à devenir une grille commerciale.

Chaque créateur reste bien entendu entièrement libre de choisir la manière dont il souhaite distribuer ses créations et d'en fixer le prix.

🏪 **POUR LES CRÉATEURS ET VENDEURS**

La création d'une boutique est gratuite.

Les créateurs peuvent publier leurs produits, les organiser dans une ou plusieurs boutiques et choisir la manière dont ils souhaitent les distribuer.

💳 Les créateurs qui souhaitent monétiser leur travail peuvent utiliser **PayPal**.

Les paiements PayPal sont envoyés **directement sur le propre compte PayPal du vendeur**.

❤️ **BloodMoon ne prélève aucune commission sur les ventes du Marketplace.**

Les éventuels frais de transaction propres à PayPal restent applicables.

Selon les possibilités proposées par PayPal, les acheteurs peuvent également avoir la possibilité de payer par **carte bancaire sans posséder de compte PayPal**.

Les produits sont reliés au Marketplace grâce à la **Magic Box officielle du BloodMoon Marketplace**.

Il suffit de :

📦 Rezer votre Magic Box sur BloodMoon
🔑 L'activer depuis votre espace vendeur
📥 Ajouter vos produits
🔄 Laisser la Magic Box synchroniser automatiquement son inventaire
🏪 Créer votre boutique
🛍️ Publier vos produits
🚚 La Magic Box assure ensuite automatiquement les livraisons

🏠 **PAS DE TERRAIN POUR VOTRE MAGIC BOX ?**

Aucun problème !

BloodMoon prépare actuellement une région dédiée, **Magic Box Hub**, avec de **toutes petites parcelles mises gratuitement à disposition** des vendeurs qui ont besoin d'un emplacement pour laisser leur Magic Box en ligne.

🚧 **La région est encore en cours de préparation et les parcelles ne sont donc pas encore disponibles. Elles devraient l'être d'ici quelques jours.**

Une fois la région ouverte, il suffira de rechercher sur la carte du monde :

🌐 **Magic Box Hub**

Les parcelles disponibles pourront être louées pour **0 BM$** et seront réservées aux Magic Boxes du Marketplace.

👤 **COMPTE BLOODMOON**

Un **compte BloodMoon est nécessaire pour utiliser le Marketplace**, effectuer des achats et accéder aux fonctions vendeur.

La création d'un compte BloodMoon est gratuite.

❤️ **NOTRE PHILOSOPHIE**

Le BloodMoon Marketplace n'a pas été créé pour transformer BloodMoon en grille commerciale.

Son objectif est avant tout d'offrir à la communauté OpenSimulator un moyen moderne et simple de **partager ses créations et distribuer du contenu**.

Nous encourageons donc les créateurs qui souhaitent partager librement leur travail à proposer leurs produits à **0 BM$**.

Mais les créateurs qui souhaitent monétiser leurs créations originales restent également libres de le faire en BM$ ou via PayPal.

**Le choix appartient toujours au créateur.**

🌱 Le Marketplace ne fait que commencer.

Si vous êtes créateur, **venez créer votre boutique, publier vos créations et participer à la construction du BloodMoon Marketplace !**

Ever get sick of the sheep, the lies, the cliques, the rumors, the gossip of opensim and other virtual worlds?
I'm making a list. I'm checking it twice. And i'm not gonna tell the world who has been naughty or nice.
I have more class than that. But for certain people out there who would spread evil, lies, and gossip, some of these following songs are dedicated to you. I am sure the liars and the sheeps know who you are and who is in your clique. These are for y'all! Enjoy.

Surfacing by Slipknot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Anb7GwIXs

The Bleeding by Five Finger Death Punch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAuyEG7JPbE

The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson: a nice statement about cliques, judgement of each other, materialism, and more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scg4tGpBXKc

Fuck You and All Your Friends by Falling in Reverse and the brilliant Ronnie Radke

My favorite dance partner and I are getting ready to throw a fun party as part of OSFest events in October. Save the date and bring a date! We are all about friends, romance, good vibes, and music that will make love to your ears! I am so excited to show off this region...and DJ Drew Blood...exclusive to Tenth Dimension!

years ago yava was my neighbor in SL, she made all those tour buggies that roam the streets there. she showed me how to do region crossings by exceeding the sim boundary. i tried this technique in OS and the server hard-limits llSetPosition/llSetRegionPosition to sim boundary so there's no way to go past with a script. I modied the api in the server code and we can now exceed the boundary. the test is working so now i can try making an auto-transport that moves avs across regions. :) maybe there is another way to do this in OS, lemme know. how do you guys do it? here's a test going to 256.100000 then 1.000 (on the other side)

[01:44] floater: Region: Oakley Beach | Current Position: 250.000000, 250.000000, 40.000000
[01:44] floater: Requesting crossing from Oakley Beach using 250.000000, 256.100000, 40.000000

🤠 ADRIAN MOON — COUNTRY VIBES AT THE BARN 🎸

Gentle Fire Grid is getting a little dusty today.

Adrian Moon is taking over The Barn from 12 till 2 PM Grid Time with a country-flavoured set that may contain guitars, questionable dance moves, and absolutely no guarantee that anyone leaves with their dignity intact. 😂

Expect country classics, feel-good tunes, a few surprises, and the kind of atmosphere where you come for the music and somehow end up arguing about who looks better in a cowboy hat.

No fancy rules. No serious business. Just good music, good people, and Adrian behind the decks pretending he knows what he’s doing. 🤣

📍 The Barn — Gentle Fire Grid
🕛 Today • 12:00–2:00 PM Grid Time
🎧 DJ: Adrian Moon
🤠 Dress code: Country, cowboy, outlaw… or whatever you managed to put on before noon.

Teleport: hop://login.gentlefiregrid.net:8002/Nevada/140/83/22

Come for the country. Stay because you can't find the exit. 😂🎶

CC-CLUB Returns to Its Roots

🎶 CC-CLUB is going back to what it does best.

We're bringing the spirit of the good old days into the present, with a renewed focus on quality music, authentic vibes, and unforgettable beats.

From now on, our events will be dedicated exclusively to genres such as:

Tech House
Progressive Tech House
Minimal & Deep
Peak Time Techno
Synth-Pop
Synthwave
EBM
Industrial Underground
Gothic
EDM

To match the unique atmosphere of each genre, we have carefully selected clubs and venues that reflect their distinctive sound and culture.

We are not here to generate artificial traffic—that has never been our purpose in OpenSim. Whether 30 people attend or just 3, our passion remains the same; the music comes first, together with a good community and conversation.
Our Slogan : Good Vibes = Good Mood !

We understand that these genres may not appeal to the majority of OpenSim residents, and that's perfectly fine. CC-CLUB is dedicated to those who share our love for electronic, alternative music cultures and the underground sound of that time.
Everyone who appreciates these sounds is warmly welcome.

🎵 One thing we stand firmly behind: we do not support or play AI-generated music. Our commitment is to authentic genuine creativity, and real musical expression.


C&C 🖤


CC-CLUB kehrt zu seinen Wurzeln zurück

🎶 Der CC-CLUB besinnt sich wieder auf das, was er am besten kann.

Wir holen den Geist der guten alten Zeit in die Gegenwart – mit einem neuen Fokus auf erstklassige Musik, authentische Vibes und unvergessliche Beats.

Ab sofort widmen wir unsere Events ausschließlich Genres wie:

Tech House
Progressive Tech House
Minimal & Deep
Peak Time Techno
Synth-Pop
Synthwave
EBM
Industrial Underground
Gothic
EDM

Um der einzigartigen Atmosphäre jedes Genres gerecht zu werden, haben wir Clubs und Locations sorgfältig ausgewählt, die den jeweiligen Sound und die dazugehörige Kultur widerspiegeln.

Uns geht es nicht darum, künstlich hohe Besucherzahlen zu generieren – das war in OpenSim nie unser Ziel. Ob 30 Leute kommen oder nur drei: Unsere Leidenschaft bleibt dieselbe. Die Musik steht an erster Stelle, ebenso wie eine gute Community und der Austausch untereinander.
Unser Motto: Gute Klänge = Gute Laune!

Uns ist bewusst, dass diese Genres vielleicht nicht den Geschmack der breiten Masse in OpenSim treffen – und das ist völlig in Ordnung. Der CC-CLUB richtet sich an alle, die unsere Liebe zu elektronischer Musik, alternativen Musikkulturen und dem damaligen Underground Sound teilen. Jeder, der diese Klänge zu schätzen weiß, ist herzlich willkommen.

🎵 Eines steht für uns fest: Wir unterstützen keine KI-generierte Musik und spielen sie auch nicht. Wir setzen voll und ganz auf authentische, echte Kreativität und wahrhaftigen musikalischen Ausdruck.


C&C 🖤

Hey everyone!

You will notice our old Joomla website is sometimes on and sometimes off. Here is the deal and some tips.

First off I want to thank fred for all his hard work on dreamgrid.

Some things in the new website require php8, so we have to switch over from php 7 that joomla uses for the new website to fix things and get it going.

Second, I want to thank Gundahar Bravin. He has been amazing with helping us get his epic L.O.R.E plugin for wordpress for maps working. Since website uses HTTPS but a port on dreamgrid uses http that meant we had to figure out a way around it since http to http is preferred. Many thanks to him for helping us with a workaround in his plugin.

With the help of chat GPT I was finally able to get ImageMagick installed and working for wordpress with dreamgrid along with curl and XML-RPC. If you use dreamgrid and your website is via wordpress, you need those 3 things for opensimulator plugin to work.

Apache was having a hard time finding ImageMagick even after i installed the dll, so i had to tell it in the file where the location was and boom, issue solved. Also I had to install a 7.11 version, not 7.12 incase anyone has that same issue.

One thing I noticed is by the next day, the changes i made to php8.ini were reverted back, anyone know why that happened? I was able to simple fix it and its back working.

Thank you to all that have helped me along this process. We will eventually get this new website up, it will just take a little longer then i thought.

## Lord Vaelrath

### The Dragon King

Long before Seraphina Roseblossom was born, the name **Vaelrath** was spoken throughout Whispering Willows only in whispers.

He had once belonged to an ancient elven bloodline, one whose magic was bound not to flowers, rivers, or living forests, but to **dragons**.

For generations, his family served as guardians of the great dragons nesting beyond the mountains. They were taught that dragons were companions to be respected, never creatures to be mastered.

Vaelrath believed otherwise.

He discovered that the oldest dragons possessed a magic capable of strengthening his own. Instead of earning their loyalty, he learned to dominate them. With every dragon that bowed before him, his power grew.

Eventually, Vaelrath stopped calling himself their guardian.

He became their **King**.

### His Desire for Whispering Willows

Vaelrath has conquered lands before, but Whispering Willows is different.

The realm is alive with ancient magic.

Its rivers, forests, creatures and people are connected by something older than any crown. Vaelrath believes that if he controls the heart of Whispering Willows, even the land itself will eventually answer to him.

There is only one obstacle.

**Princess Seraphina Roseblossom.**

The strange bond between Seraphina and Whispering Willows fascinates him. Where Vaelrath bends creatures through fear, they approach Seraphina willingly. Where he demands loyalty, she receives it without asking.

He cannot understand it.

And what Vaelrath cannot understand, he wants to possess.

He does not merely want Seraphina defeated. He wants the beloved princess of Whispering Willows kept at his side as his captive, both as a symbol of his victory and as proof to the realm that even its cherished princess can be brought beneath the Dragon King's rule.

But Vaelrath has made one dangerous mistake.

He believes Seraphina's kindness makes her easy to break.

### The Dragon King's Nature

Vaelrath is patient, intelligent and frighteningly calm.

He rarely needs to shout.

His anger is far more dangerous when his voice becomes quiet.

He considers fear an excellent tool and affection a weakness. Loyalty, in his mind, is something purchased, commanded or forced. The idea that people might willingly risk their lives for another person is almost incomprehensible to him.

That is why Seraphina unsettles him so deeply.

She possesses something all his armies, dragons and castles have never given him.

**She is loved.**

And somewhere beneath the crown, the cruelty and the terrible power of the Dragon King lies a truth Vaelrath would never admit:

He envies her for it.

### The Coming War

Vaelrath's dragons have begun appearing above the distant mountains.

His scouts have crossed the borders.

Strange red lights sometimes burn beyond the forests at night.

Yet the Dragon King has not attacked.

Not yet.

He sits upon his throne and waits, convinced that eventually Whispering Willows will kneel before him.

And in the peaceful valleys beneath the ancient willows, Seraphina knows something is coming.

She does not know when.

She does not know from where.

But sometimes, when the evening grows strangely silent, even the oldest willow branches turn toward the mountains.

As though they, too, are watching for dragons.

## Seraphina Roseblossom

### Elven Princess of Whispering Willows

Seraphina Roseblossom was born beneath the ancient willows of Whispering Willows, on a night when thousands of tiny white blossoms opened along the riverbanks long before their season.

The elves took it as a blessing.

From childhood, Seraphina was unlike the princesses remembered in old songs. She cared little for ceremony or being treated as someone above others. She was far more likely to be found barefoot beside a stream, helping an injured animal, carrying baskets through the village, or sitting quietly with someone who simply needed not to be alone.

Her greatest gift was never magic.

It was her ability to understand.

Seraphina notices the things others overlook: the trembling hands of someone pretending not to be frightened, the loneliness hidden beneath anger, the exhausted farmer who insists he needs no help, or the stranger standing at the edge of a celebration unsure whether they are welcome.

And somehow, she always seems to know when kindness is needed most.

Yet Seraphina is not naïve. She knows that gentle hearts can be wounded and that kindness should never be mistaken for weakness. She will forgive mistakes freely when remorse is sincere, but she will stand fiercely between the vulnerable and anyone who would deliberately harm them.

The people of Whispering Willows often say that Seraphina inherited the heart of the land itself.

Perhaps there is some truth to it.

Flowers have an unusual habit of blooming along paths she frequently walks. Wild creatures rarely flee from her. Even the ancient willow trees seem to stir when she passes beneath their branches, though there may be no wind at all.

Seraphina believes every creature and every people of Whispering Willows has a place in its story. Elves, fairies, hobbits, gnomes, humans, unicorns, and even those whom others might fear are not measured by what they are, but by what they choose to become.

That belief has made her beloved throughout the realm.

She does not dream of conquest or magnificent courts.

Her hope is much simpler.

That no one who enters Whispering Willows should feel forgotten.

And should the day ever come when darkness threatens her home, those who know Seraphina understand one thing very well:

The princess who offers her hand so easily in friendship will close that same hand around a sword without hesitation to protect those she loves.

For that is the heart of Seraphina Roseblossom.

Not a princess because she wears gold.

A princess because Whispering Willows has given her its heart, and she has given hers in return.

It is so peaceful in here, I was in Zen mode after working on these with the music in the region on.

Before time drew its very first breath,
before light broke through the darkness,
there was no *before* — and yet, there was Being.

No beginning created the source of all beginnings,
no space enclosed what has no need of space.
From eternity, love spoke into the silence —
and from nothing, time and stars awoke.

Perhaps God is not part of the great question.
Perhaps He is the reason
why there are questions at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bevor die Zeit den ersten Atem nahm,
bevor das Licht die Dunkelheit durchbrach,
war kein *Davor* – und doch war Sein.

Kein Anfang schuf den Ursprung aller Anfänge,
kein Raum umschloss, was keinen Raum bedarf.
Aus Ewigkeit sprach Liebe in die Stille –
und aus dem Nichts erwachten Zeit und Sterne.

Vielleicht ist Gott nicht Teil der großen Frage.
Vielleicht ist er der Grund,
warum es überhaupt Fragen gibt.

Amid the noise, the hatred and destruction,
something small, almost fragile, begins to grow.

A flower. A light. A little hope.

Perhaps it doesn't take much to overcome the darkness –
only something we choose to protect together.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mitten im Lärm, im Hass und in der Zerstörung
wächst etwas Kleines, beinahe Zerbrechliches.

Eine Blume. Ein Licht. Ein wenig Hoffnung.

Vielleicht braucht es nicht viel, um die Dunkelheit zu besiegen –
nur etwas, das wir gemeinsam beschützen.
