*******OPENSIM ONLINE WEATHER SYSTEM V6 UPDATED RELEASE! ********
*******AVAILABLE FOR FREE AND FULLPERM AT WEATHER SECTOR *********

************** WHAT’S NEW IN V6 COMPARED TO V5? ************

Fixed an issue where the snow sound (blizzard) was playing during “Light Snow” weather conditions.

Performance improvements to the SoundBox - It uses now 1 ONE single script to as many soundboxes rezzed in a same region and also improvements for the ThunderBox - also using 1 script only and better sound and light flash quality!!!

********* IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REZZED OBJECTS IN YOUR REGION, YOU ONLY NEED TO REPLACE THE SOUNDBOXES AND THE THUNDERBOXES!**
All other scripts remain the same and will continue to work perfectly (including those from V5).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚙️ HOW TO USE
1 – Get your API Key
API = Application Programming Interface. It lets the weather script fetch live data from a forescast website.
Steps:
Go to: https://openweathermap.org
Sign up or log in (website will prompt you to paid subscription but choose the free one!!)
Open your profile → API keys
Create a key → copy it

2 – Rez the Weather Sculpts (You will find them inside the box "WEATHER SCULPT SET V6 (BOX)".

Rez the weather sculpts across your region - around buildings etc -
I recommend going on infra-red mode (Firestorm) by clicking CONTROL+ALT+T.
Select all sculpts →LINK THEM ALL and insert on the root prim (just select them all) and insert the script called "OpenSIM ONLINE SCULPT V6 (SLAVE)". (*)

(*) THIS SCRIPT AND ALL OTHERS USED ON THIS SYSTEM can be found at the box called "SCRIPTS USED V6 (BOX)".

3- Insert some of the textures included on the "TEXTURES FOR SCULPTS V6 (BOX)" that can be found inside the box "SCRIPTS USED V6 (BOX)"
Textures on the root prim of the linked sculpts MUST be "clear,r1,r2,r3,r4,sr1,sr2,sr3,s1,s2,s3 and s4 to script work perfectly. By default, all pieces of sculpts have already the needed textures so to not worry :)

4 –SET UP THE SYSTEM:
Rez the controller "OpenSIM Online Weather Controller V6 (MASTER) 02 prims" and click it. A dialog menu (blue menu) will prompt:
-> Choose the name of the city (English only - other languages or misspelled, script won`t fetch information). If a city name like Springfield (USA) is selected and there are 5 on that country, script will select a random one - on these cases, type "Springfield,IL,US" (Illinois, United States) so script will fetch information from the correct place. Another option is also select by lat/lon mode (latitude/longitude).
-> Click again, and insert the API KEY generated by the website.
-> Click once more, now insert the interval. and that s it.
It will send information to all soundboxes, sculpts, thunderboxes rezzed if in within same region!
Rez the display board next to the controller "OpenSIM Online Weather Display Board V6 (SLAVE) 11 prims"
-> Click the controller and click the "Update Now" button.
This action updates the info on the display board.

***** Please be patient. All changes on the dialog box, script may take up to 15 seconds to fetch the information!*****************************

5 – Optional: Add Sound & Thunder & Cloud & Nothern Lights:
Plays drizzle, rain, and blizzard sounds when told by the controller..
If no bad weather: plays birds (day) or crickets (night).

In version V6, there are now two types of SoundBoxes:

OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V6 (SLAVE MAIN);
OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V6 (SLAVE SLAVE).

How to set up:

-Rez as many “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V6 (SLAVE SLAVE)” objects as needed in your region (optional);
- Link them all together;
- Rez only one “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V6 (SLAVE MAIN)”;
- Link all the previously linked SoundBoxes to this one.

Important: For this to work, “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V6 (SLAVE MAIN)” must be the root prim (the last object selected when linking). It is the box that contains the script.

And voilà — you now use one script for all SoundBoxes, and the sound will be emitted from each of them in near-perfect synchronization.

(ps) I recommend rezing them close to buildings or common public areas. DO NOT rez the sounboxes too close to each other. Believe me ,Spam sound will be unpleasant for the visitors and it won`t sound natural to your ears!

SOUNDBOXES NOW HAVE THE NIGHT SOUND (THE CRICKETS) SUPPRESSION!
* The script checks the object’s latitude and the current month!
* Tropics (≤ latitude 30°) → night sounds always play.
* Polar regions (≥ latitude 60°) → night sounds are always blocked.
* Mid-latitudes (latitude 30°–60°) → gradual suppression:

* In winter months (depending on latitude), night sounds are blocked.
* In summer months, "night" sounds play normally.
* The script stops "night" sound if suppression applies; "day","rain", "drizzle" and "snow" sounds always play normally.

-> Opensim ONLINE THUNDERBOX V6 (SLAVE):
Plays a thunder sound and flashes lightning when told by the controller.
When rezzed, by default it is invisible, please go to infra-red mode (control alt+t) to see and resize it to your needs.
PS. To test it, please add as a hud (or just add it) the "OPENSIM
Thunder Caller (MASTER) HUD" and click it. Once you see the size and position are ok, this script is no longer necessary.
Be patient. Thunder sound and the lighting will show on a random interval of time from 10 seconds to 05 minutes.

-> OpenSIM ONLINE CLOUD V6 (SLAVE):
4x4 sized sculpt cloud to rez in your region - It will show when the weather conditions told by the controller when it asks to. Otherwise it will remain invisible.
No setup needed

-> OpenSIM ONLINE Aurora Borealis V6 (SLAVE).
4x4 sized mesh to rez in your region - it will show only at nights (sun position 8 degrees above the horizon ,script will be told its DAY!

5- I rezzed the "OpenSIM Online Cloud V6 (SLAVE)" and I don`t see anything!
- If you have rezzed the controller before, if it fetches info from website and it says it not cloudy", the "OpenSIM Online Cloud V6 (SLAVE)" will remain invisible (100% transparent). - One still can see it on infra red mode (CONTROL+ALT+T)

6- Why all these boxes with the scripts, sounds, textures? Do I need them?
- It just in case one deletes something by accident so one can always recover it. Also, I do it for preventing assets lost -specially if one is from other grid!

7- I rezzed my controller, set all scupts and soundbox. I select city but nothing work. What could it be?
- Make sure city is well written in English. Also, it happens that on 1st time one rezzes the controller, it can act like this. so just reset script!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🎉 Final Notes

This script was originally created years ago for my region by my friend Satyr Aeon (aka Malaka) and now it has been fully enhanced by ChatGPT and DeepSeek to make it easier for the average user.

Enjoy and share it — always FREE & FULL PERM!

SECURITY: How your grid CAN handle HG traveler assets.

Opensimulator documentation is available but how many of us fully utilize it?

I have a confession to make: I feel like a complete imbecile! I followed instructions on some klutz of a website which gave me instructions on running a standalone grid... GREAT... everything is up and running smoothly. Now lets build some worlds and secure my....

EGAD! Suddenly, it dawned on me, I have been using this software for years and I did not completely READ THE F⭐⭐⭐ING MANUAL!

As a refugee from several worlds, my hosting journey began with a standalone setup, where I was blissfully unaware of the complexities involved in the handling of assets from hypergrid travelers. As a former Kitely merchant, I am looking into ways people can interact with my creations without taking them. Out of ignorance, I took the wrong security measures.

One of the common misconceptions that led to limitations, such as banning prim or mesh attachments (to avoid cheating) at Dismayland, is the belief that the server must download and store visitor assets to display them properly. This is not entirely true. By applying specific precautions, you can prevent visitor assets from being stored or affecting your environment.

So if you do not want "SL-Lara" on your grid, or you do not want the rot from someone's full suitcase, you can rest in the comfort of knowing their assets will not infect your world if you take the following precautions...

Restricting the ability for hypergrid visitors to rez objects or execute scripts is crucial. By doing so, you can effectively ensure that their assets are not saved in your database, significantly reducing the risks of unwanted modifications or overwrites. This approach provides a balanced way to maintain control over your creations while still offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy your content visually.

By understanding how asset management works in OpenSim and applying the correct security measures, you can create an environment that respects the creative efforts of your residents while sharing the beauty of your virtual worlds with others.

This approach is not without caveats: when you travel to other worlds, you WILL appear as a blob while your viewer shows you a cached appearance. It will not stop copycats, the most determined rippers can easily grab what is seen, but without your code and hidden assets, those useless rips end up in stuff boxes, wasting valuable server resources. There is nothing I enjoy more than making clever obstacles in today's virtual 'Wild Wild West'!

TL;DR: When we share knowledge openly and freely, EVERYONE BENEFITS.

We're making progress! Today we finished the spike, which can drain 10, 25, or even 40 liters of vital fluid. I'll add the video of the spike once I've finished the Soul Reaper, which is the next step. I apologize for the delay, but between my day job, family life, and other commitments besides OpenSimulator, I haven't been able to find much time to dedicate to it. You can watch the video of what I've already accomplished, keeping in mind that the spike wasn't finished at the time of filming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQJIaxfVj_Q

Thank you for your patience.

Now check out this little beauty!! It's a lamp that is two lovers dancing in front of a heart shaped moon, ahh but there is more; it is also musical and plays some very sweet love songs. So, lights, camera, action and create your very own gorgeous love adventure with this beautiful lamp by yours truly! You will find it in the Holidays & Season's section of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Well Christmas 2025 is over and now belongs to the ages, 2025 is over and belongs to the ages as we continue endlessly moving forward and growing, but not to despair about what is gone, no we celebrate so much in the year to come, especially those we LOVE the most - friends, family, and our significant other, and so with that in mind I have created some "VALENTINES" items for y'all! They are found in the Holidays & Seasons section of the Mall. Drop by and check them out. I'm putting the Valentines stuff out early because we who own the grid are moving this month and well we have a month's worth of packing and scheduling and address changes, utilities to turn off and utilities to turn on, I'm sure if you've done any moving you know how very busy it can be. And well, I didn't want to let you down and miss making Valentines stuff for y'all to enjoy. C'mon over and check it out and there will be more very soon. Blessings and much love, Lavia!
