Joe Bonamassa – Der Erbe des Blues-Rock aus dem Norden

In den verschneiten Wintern von New Hartford, New York, wo der Hudson River sich durch eisige Landschaften windet,
begann eine Reise, die den Blues-Rock neu beleben sollte.
Joe Bonamassa, geboren als Joseph Leonard Bonamassa am 8. Mai 1977 in Utica, wuchs in einer Familie auf,
in der Musik nicht nur gespielt, sondern gelebt wurde...

After the huge success of our 2024 Winter Fair, we simply had to bring it back for another sparkling edition! ❄️✨
And this year… we want YOU to be part of the enchantment. it will be in the Kitely world Catronian Archipelago.
We warmly invite all merchants to reserve their spot at our charming winter market. Each participant can claim two stalls to showcase their creations — and yes, we love freebies… we really do! 😉

Imagine your stall set in a picturesque, old-European village square (think Dutch–German vibes), gently dusted with snow. Around you: twinkling Christmas lights, cosy market huts, waffles and warm drinks, music in the air, excited visitors hunting for decorations… and of course, talented artists turning the little houses into a magical gallery trail.

Our market is nestled in the heart of a 12-sim-wide Winter Wonderland, home of the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour!
Find the checkpoints, collect the stamps, earn the trophy — and maybe even secure a proud place in the Skaters’ Hall of Fame. ⛸️🏆

This fair traditionally attracts a huge crowd, so early reservations are highly recommended.
To secure your two stalls, please send an IM to Trouble Ahead.

And there’s more! At the end of December, we’ll kick off the final countdown to the holidays with a festive winter party featuring DJ Melanie Auxifur. Date and details will follow right here — so stay tuned!
The fair will be from 14 th of dec until 15 th of jan.
We can’t wait to welcome you, your creativity, and your sparkle.

Warm winter greetings,
Trouble Ahead (Events Coordinator)

Ruby Red Pumps for Ladies, something I'm experimenting with in Meshy AI, when the shoe line is ready I will make them available at the mall. They don't fit with perfection but they do fit nicely. I will post when they're available. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Thanks to everyone, BloodMoon is ranked fifteenth this month among the most popular grids (source Hypergridbusiness: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2025/11/opensim-still-ha...)

A little rant. When SL implemented PBR textures, they included a script command called llSetRenderMaterial, which allows you to change the PBR material texture of a surface. Multiple scripts are now available there that do just that. This is similar to llSetTexture we've used forever to change the older blinn-phong textures.

When Opensim implemented their version of PBR, they decided that we didn't need osSetRenderMaterial activated for scripts, because really, who would actually use that stuff? If there's another more plausible reason I would love to hear it.

Ran into this trying to update a simple light sconce which allows you to touch the object to add light, fullbright, and glow to a surface to mimic a light that's turned on. For PBR, while turning on light is still the same, brightness and glow are managed by the emissive texture layer of a PBR Material. So to mimic a glowing light, you would need to be able to - you guessed it - CHANGE the material. But of course that's currently impossible in Opensim until someone incorporates that script function into code.

In the pics, you can see the PBR sconce on the left, and one with older textures on the right. In the top pic the light is off on both and in the bottom pic the light is on. The PBR glass looks great, and the light works, but you have no glow to show it's on. So for now, until osSetRenderMaterial is activated, I will have to set the glass material to always glowing. Or more likely, I will add a bulb inside with no PBR that will glow when touched.

Am Samstag 08.11.25 ist große Eröffnungsparty mit DJ Draupnir auf der Welcome von dem Andomeda-Grid im Andromeda-Club. Kommt zahlreich, schaut und erkundet die Welcome, es gibt vieles zu entdecken. Ab 19:00 Uhr geht`s dann im Club los und ihr könnt euch zu verschieden Musikrichtungen abzappeln. Von Schlager bis Rock, von Medival bis Viking ist alles dabei und vieles mehr.
Wir freuen uns auf Euch

Hope to see you soon.

X-petite: Vier Outfits, null Kompromisse.

Wenn du denkst, du hast schon alles gesehen – zieh das hier an und warte, bis die Blicke rückwärts laufen. Von „Ich bin nur zum Tanzen hier“ bis „Ich regiere diesen Raum mit einem Augenbrauen-Zucken“: Diese vier Looks sind wie kleine rebellische Statements mit Absatz. Spitze, Glanz, Schnürung und ein Hauch „Was willst du eigentlich?“ – X-petite spielt nicht Dress-up, X-petite spielt Endgegner.

Been happy with my weather system so I created one specially for my sims at EUROPA: no API called just simple script. it gives temperature in C, F and K (kelvin).. from inside and outside dome. Fits very well the thematic here! Thinking about releasing a copy at MAGABAGA MALL. unsure if someone would be interested though.

BOO! The Pumpkin Witch came to settle down in her village last night. While counting these pumpkins, she noticed that 10 little pumpkin devils were missing. So she launched a pumpkin hunt in her village. It's up to you to find them, a surprise awaits you inside the object. Happy hunting, have fun and enjoy the decor. Happy Halloween everyone.
BOO ! la Sorciere des Citrouilles ,est venue poser ses valises a son village cette nuit .En comptant ces citrouilles, elle remarque que 10 petits diablotins citrouille manquent a l appel. elle lance donc une chasse a la citrouille dans son village. A vous de les trouver une surprise vous attend a l interieur de l objet. Bonne chasse a vous amusez vous et profitez du decor.. Joyeux Halloween a tous.

I dont normally get offended by nasty comments or messages easily , but this one went to far.

Someone on OSW who keeps harassing me sent me a messaging saying just block me then spastic? Or kill yourself either way works.

I know there is a block button, but I really wonder how affective that is.

How is this website letting things get to this point. Why cant we all just agree to disagree instead of harassing and or hateful comments. Why do we have to drag innocent people into it. I think this website is a great idea but why is no one taking action against things like this?

To the person that said this to me, I will not kill myself nor block you. I will not let your words define my worth and who i am! I may be a small a grid with not a lot of members but I will keep fighting as long as I can. I dont care about being in first place or being a big grid, I just want to have fun and enjoy life and virtual.

--> Weather condition now never shows as "unknown".
- Enhancements:
- Information now sent to owner includes wind speed and direction, visibility and humidity.

* 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 when due.

Yesterday, someone asked me: why choose BloodMoon?
That’s a great question. There are dozens of other grids in the hypergrid, so why pick BloodMoon instead?

Here are a few good reasons:

🌟 A passionate team: BloodMoon has been run by OpenSimulator enthusiasts for many years.

🎉 Regular events: every Tuesday, the grid hosts a big party. Of course, residents are free to organize their own events as well.

⚡ Stability first: we focus on smooth performance and quality. We don’t like lag, and we do our best to make sure you don’t have to deal with it.

🤝 A welcoming community: here, residents are treated like members of a big family. Sharing and mutual support are our core values.

🛠️ Responsive support: even if sometimes no staff member is online, an online contact form ensures you’ll quickly get a reply and assistance.

🏡 A free parcel for every resident: as soon as you join, you get your own land.

💸 Very low region prices: plus, you can download your backups via Nextcloud.

🔗 Attach your own simulator: if you have some technical knowledge, you can connect your simulator to the grid.

🎭 A RolePlay project in development: completely separate from the grid, but still hypergrid-compatible.

And that’s just the beginning…

Hier, on m’a demandé : pourquoi choisir de venir sur BloodMoon ?
C’est une excellente question. Il existe des dizaines d’autres grilles dans l’hypergrid, alors pourquoi choisir BloodMoon plutôt qu’une autre ?

Voici quelques bonnes raisons :

🌟 Une équipe passionnée : BloodMoon est gérée par des passionnés d’OpenSimulator depuis de nombreuses années.

🎉 Des événements réguliers : chaque mardi, une grande soirée est organisée par la grille. Bien entendu, les résidents sont libres de créer leurs propres événements.

⚡ La stabilité avant tout : nous privilégions la fluidité et la qualité de jeu. Nous n’aimons pas le lag, et nous faisons en sorte que vous n’ayez pas à le subir.

🤝 Une communauté chaleureuse : ici, les résidents sont considérés comme les membres d’une grande famille. L’entraide et le partage sont nos valeurs principales.

🛠️ Un support réactif : même si parfois aucun membre du staff n’est connecté, un formulaire de contact en ligne vous permet d’obtenir rapidement une réponse et de l’aide.

🏡 Un terrain gratuit pour chaque résident : dès votre arrivée, vous disposez de votre propre espace.

💸 Des tarifs très bas pour vos régions : en plus, vous pouvez récupérer vos sauvegardes via Nextcloud.

🔗 Connecter votre propre simulateur : si vous avez un minimum de connaissances techniques, vous pouvez rattacher votre simulateur à la grille.

🎭 Un projet de RolePlay en préparation : totalement indépendant de la grille, il sera compatible hypergrid.

Et ce n’est qu’un aperçu…

I guess I'm going a little crazy with Meshy AI and Blender, but I just can't seem to help myself. As part of the book I'm writing, one of the species included are Angelic like flying Lions that I call Lamassu. So I put the information in Meshy and it gave me a really cool winged lion which I was able to convert to a collada file in Blender and upload as a mesh build and it included the textures. How cool is that? Anyway you can find him at the Garden Center here at the mall, free and full perm! Blessings and much love, Lavia

A while back, someone posted about a veterinarian's clinic that they made. I am hoping I can find it again. I had an idea to run an "animal clinic" where people can take in their scripted animals and we will fix the scripts if they are lag-causing. Usually it is just a timer interval that is too short. I think it would be fun to make it like a monthly party/event. Maybe we can have NPC Saint Francis bless the animals after. lol

Check out some cool new fun at the Welcome region!

remember candy land and snakes and ladders as a kid, now you can play them, right here in VB!

Check out the new Barbershop Quartet, they sure can sing.

while your here, check out the new birds, you can even ride them! How cool is that!
