Shoulder-view camera angles: Looking at the world like your avatar does
We're all used to OpenSim's standard rear camera angle. A camera that floats more than three and a half metres above the ground. But seriously, this camera angle has got a whole lot of issues.

Sure, it can be practical when building. But first of all, it requires buildings which are even more ridiculously out-of-scale than the avatars created by fresh Second Life converts. Otherwise, the camera would constantly bump into the ceiling or even clip through it.

Besides, it suggests that this is your eye level. You don't see the world from your avatar's point of view. 3.60m (12') doors with handles on actual eye level or even higher don't seem strange to you at all, nor do living-rooms with ceiling heights akin to cathedrals or chin-high handrails.

Last but not least, high-hovering cameras are so 2000s. Nowadays, "shoulder cams" at the same height as the character's eyes are all the rage in video games. And you can have them in OpenSim as well.

Here are two settings I've found to work well.

"Standard" shoulder view, right of centre:

Camera Offset:
X -0.700
Y -0.400
Z -0.300

Focus Offset:
X 1.000
Y -0.400
Z 0.700

Scale:
1.000

Alternative shoulder view, left of centre:

Camera Offset:
X -0.700
Y 0.400
Z -0.300

Focus Offset:
X 1.000
Y 0.400
Z 0.700

Scale:
1.000

Npc Greeter? Why not? I have made a single prim npc greeter. It greets the person and sends them a group invite to your group. Just remember to change the group on the object that you want them to be invited to. Also edit the script and change the wording to say what you want it to say. You can put any npc card in the yellow circle prim and that npc will show up (as long as it is the only one in there) If you need any help at all just ask me! I almost forgot. Here is the script im working on to stop greifers: - https://opensimworld.com/library?view=97 It is very advanced - like a swiss watch - so be careful and know what you are doing.

I Love Socks
Do you love socks? I do. The preacher said 'no socks' before marriage. But I listened to sockologists instead. They say that wearing shoes without socks will make your feet stink. Who wants to marry someone with stinky feet? These sock experts also say. "Boots mean socks — period". This outfit, with boots, naturally, has socks — exclamation point!

I'm not sure stinky foot preacher will like the rest of the outfit either. Hey dude, put a sock in it.

oh HELLO: Outfits With Options

grids/regions with no export
Grids/regions with no export should have to say so on their region description. its ridiculous to say you have free content and then not have it set for export so people waste hours and hours there only to not be able to rez things.
if they are doing this just to get traffic so they end up on some list, that is not ok.
i am not the only one who is upset about this.
just look at comments/reviews on every one of avitron's regions.
please do something about this.
its not ok

Beautiful Mutants
Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two daughter cells, which are usually identical. However, mistakes happen. Well, my one region Xinashi has now divided into three regions, each different. Très troublant! My regions are mutants! But what beautiful mutants they are.

Almost all of what was the singular Xinashi has been redesigned. I think you are going to like the changes. Come visit all the old but now renewed attractions: oh HELLO, Sol Et Luna Dance, Treehouse Park, the Rocket Club, Strictmore Academy, the BDSM Warehouse, Sparta Gym, the Eagle LBGT Dance Club, Eros Yoga Center, and the deeply strange Dead-End Drive-In.

Xinashi is now Xinashi, Xin2 and the Eros Yoga Center. But wait! There's more. Use the teleporter board to visit our sister region, the wonderfully unusual Aether.

High resource usage in Quintonia farm animals
Hello,

I have received a few complaints related to the Quintonia version of the satyrfarm. In particular, people who run grids are complaining that animals overwhelm the asset server with creating new notecards.

If you have this problem pick up version 5.8 of the animal script right now and use the updater on your animals from the Mintor store at worlds.quintonia.net:8002 . See Cnayl's comment below

Or, use the original version of the animal rezzer that you can find in the satyrfarm package in the opensimworld region.

Today I've added to the Enchanted section of the shop.

The "Crando" flowers are well, perhaps not flowers? They are just a little different, maybe more like weird and definitely colourful.

There are 3 shapes and all the textures are included (details on the notecard). The models all have separate faces for the centre, the pistols and the stem so you can customize, mix and match or make your own textures.

They could have some other worldly or magic powers however they have only proven their ability to glow and stand out from the other plants.

Have a nice day!

This is a scripted King Air Aircraft which comes complete with Hud for starting the props, Nav Lights, Landing Gear and Interior Lights.

I will be making this plane available with the hud very soon from the International Airport for anyone who wishes to fly it.

Click the link below to see a video I did when Adventure Bay was running. It doesn't feature the New FemDom City or the Updated Airport but it gives you an idea of how the plane flies. It can be a bit wobbly but its great fun to fly.

The Lantern of the Glen has just been put out in the enchanted section of the shop.

I needed something for the garden that was a little more fanciful than a street lamp.
It comes in iron or bronze with different leaf and glass versions as well. I'm afraid I got a bit carried away with the versions. I do like to have choices :D

It has also got a master/slave light script version in addition to one that's a manual menu script. Details are on the notecard inside the box along with the textures.

Have an excellent day!
