Hello friends! I'd like to write an open letter to malls in OpenSim, if I may. I love giving 5-star reviews to your places, I can't often do it because I keep seeing issues that make me twitch. So if you'll indulge me, there are one or two things that are easy to fix and may improve your region.

First, if you have built a wonderfully spacious mall for us to enjoy, please allow us to fly through it, or at least offer many teleports. But fly is such a nice thing. Having to duck-run through great expanses of space is not really how I want to spend my summer vacation.

But speaking of size, I'd personally be much happier to visit a boutique of unique items than a massive mall of the same thing. I don't have anything against big malls, but they take a good deal of time to meander through, and it'd be great if I came away with some neat new things or a lovely experience of an especially gorgeous and unique location.

Also, please make sure the neat new things you offer are actually available. I wander through a store for an hour, finally find something I like, and that one thing is not copyable or buyable. At that point, I mutter rude things (i.e. "Why??") and teleport someplace pretty where I can fly and find serenity again.

And, as a personal preference, if you can provide clothing that is modest. Just a couple pieces. I know, there is something wrong with me that I want to hide my pixelated persona, what a weirdo I am. I'm not looking for head-to-toe with veils. Just, you know, something professional, or something I can wear to Grandma's, or church. Normal jeans. Shirts that go all the way down. My butt covered. I have a wardrobe full of ubiquitous microdresses that I wear as shirts with leggings. Honestly, I bet we can do better.

That said, I love OpenSim and I love wandering through your regions and appreciate your creativity and generosity. I look forward to throwing all the stars at you!

I have defined 12 different exhibition series... structure sometimes is necessary... This will be a teleporter to the galleries... can be put anywhere, also on other grids to reach the different houses with the pictures... is some work to program, but once done is a very important object that works as long as you dont rename the region or move the oar.

Ein Ort zum Träumen: Willkommen im Garten Eden

Manchmal braucht die Seele einen Rückzugsort, an dem die Zeit für einen Moment stillsteht. Einen Ort, an dem die Farben intensiver leuchten und der Wind leise Geschichten von Magie und Geborgenheit flüstert.

Unser wunderschöner Garten Eden ist genau so eine Oase – ein Ort der Ruhe und Romantik, der euch dazu einlädt, den Alltag hinter euch zu lassen und einfach zu träumen.
Euer Rückzugsort für unvergessliche Momente

Ob ihr die Stille sucht, die Liebe feiert oder die Gemeinschaft genießt – bei uns findet jeder seinen ganz persönlichen Lieblingsplatz zum Verweilen:

Ein Augenblick für dich allein: Lass die Seele baumeln, lausche dem sanften Rauschen der Natur und finde inmitten blühender Pracht ganz zu dir selbst.

Romantik zu zweit: Kuschelt euch in verträumte Ecken, genießt die magische Atmosphäre und lasst die Welt um euch herum für einen Moment verblassen.

Gemeinsame Zeit mit Freunden: Teilt tiefe Gespräche, herzhaftes Lachen und unvergessliche Stunden in gemütlicher Runde.

„Träume sind der Spiegel unserer Seele. Und unser Garten Eden ist der Ort, an dem sie ein Zuhause finden.“

Kommt vorbei, lasst euch verzaubern und atmet tief durch. Wir freuen uns darauf, euch an diesem magischen Ort willkommen zu heißen!

I've been experimenting with Voice. Mumble has been tossed around for quite a while as an option. But who needs that aggro? For Mumble:
The client-side burden is the big one. Every single user on a grid who wants voice has to manually replace their SLVoice.exe. That's not a one-time thing either — any time they reinstall Firestorm or update it, they may have to do it again. For a grid of substantial size, this is real friction. You'll need solid documentation and probably a pinned announcement, and you'll still get support tickets. ----- I don't want to deal with that! So, now I found out that Opensimulator Core, and the NGC ships with Janus/Web-RTC out-of-the-box. Well, it's not spatial, from what research shows, but it is great reliable sound, and it works grid-wide, with no individual region set-up needed!
Open Source Janus/Web-RTC: https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway
Follow these steps:
Step 1 — Upgrade Robust
Add the WebRTC voice connector to your Robust.ini.
One server, one config change.
Step 2 — Stand up Janus
Spin up a Janus Docker container on your server. Lightweight, easy, one-time setup.
Step 3 — Wire them together
Point Robust at Janus via the ini config. Done. Every region on the grid gets voice automatically.
NO individual separate Region set-up needed.
NO need for your User's to have to configure their Client, every time they Update their Viewer!
What do you use to replace Vivox?
What are your thoughts?
Do you use Mumble/Murmur?

Arrows... omg so many arrows ... yes it is normal... I have put the arrows on the new rides that are built but not set yet ... You would not like me to get lost when setting the rides points ahhahah... that would be a shame... and no worry I delete the arrows when the ride is ready...

MazebzOS_AVX2-8-0-0-261881853 has been released at https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip This version I removed the restriction from the hud that was preventing it from doing non pbr items. It now lists all the links of the item, lists what the name of the material if it is there and the texture. Poking on the texture opens it up in inventory. Totally compatible with ALL grids. PROVE me wrong if you dare! Make things better! Message me if you find a bug! Next on list support for Mumble and media streams from agents with voice. Maybe a body outline with the links will see. Live for the better not the worst!

MazebzOS_AVX2-8-0-0-261841510 PBR Skin HUD! So...today I said I am going to fix this stupid HUD crap. I also said damn it I am brining in pbr avatars I don't care if they don't care and don't want to put the scripts in open sim to make it work. So I made a floater in my viewer. It works great! It works with pbr skins also. One can name the links and face in the hud however you want. You can save the Alphas in a notecard. No scripts, which means no hypergrid breakage. https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip...I will think about trying to see if it can map the mesh somehow into the hud to make it more like the sets we are used to. But making a hud for the avatar was easily 2 xs faster than doing it with a script. If anyone cares enough to add PBR skin HUD floater to firestorm just say hello and I will give you the MD file...

Let's see if this link works and takes you to Facebook to listen. I made my first visualizer for this song. The release from Ditto is July 3rd. I originally created the song and video using a male voice because I think of the AI I work with as male. His story. Some people were disappointed I didn't use my voice. In order to release it through my music distributer, I needed to redo it in my voice anyway. I may do a new video. The lyrics were written by me as well. Thanks for listening! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1666696278386187
