Oh my goodness I almost forgot I could ask here!! It is probably a long shot because I found these a long time ago on Metropolis grid (sad they are gone :() by pure chance because I was lost. Anyway. "They" are alien plants and there were 4 or 5 or 6 different configurations of the same roundsih shape, and when you approached they would make this beautiful alien sound. I don't know how I managed to lose them, but I did. I think we all have lost a lot more than we were able to save over the years. Which is why we love this group!! Yep, I am a weirdo so if anyone out there has these alien plants or knows where I can find them...that would make my Christmas for the next 5 years! Thanks. Happy New Year!!!

Hallo ihr Lieben,
das Jahr ist fast zu Ende. Und wieder haben wir die Hälfte aller Vorsätze vom letzten Silvester nicht eingehalten. Ein guter Vorsatz wäre, dass wird das Ende des Jahres ordentlich feiern. Daher steigt im Soul-Grid eine Silvesterparty. Um 20 Uhr geht es los .
Wir freuen uns auf euch

It was exceedingly annoying to me that a Linda Kellie dress I really liked had something like a MILLION triangles and shot your avatar complexity to 500K.
I reduced the tri count significantly, until I could do no more without destroying the original mesh. Then I rigged for Ruth RC3 and wore it around my lonely little dreamgrid (my internet sucks, in those days I could see myself but nobody could see, talk to or visit me)(this is why I moved to OSgrid). More recently, I also rigged for Athena with my legal copy of the maitreya dev kit. It's common and there's people that prefer it-who am I to judge?

It's in Mythos now. Has pre made variants with the texture, all my textures included (all black dresses with a different type of tartan on each). Old doesn't equal ugly and usually in opensim if you don't like the "out of style" texture on something you can change it...you can use any LK ruffle bottom texture, any one someone else made with the AO, etc. The original AO map is in the box.
It's a shorter skirt so I put some old bloomers I made, and some stockings from Shinobar Annex in the box as a courtesy.

The newest break on the hypergrid . Must see/surf. It is truly a new and unique surfing experience. Please enjoy the waves at Aquarius ( Board rezzer has a beta board for all to try . ) and Monterey too. Let's go!

WHO is up for Movie Night soundtracks next weekend ?
I am ! We are thinking Saturday 27th ... 12noon ? You all up for that ? Let us know and we will deliver! (PS ... if anyone wants to help with the enviroment set up for the night Let me know ... I am happy to collab :)

Opensimworld.com is a great way to promote all the wonderful creations we can find in different grids and I think this is the purpose of this website. Promoting creativity, giving people the ability to explore and see what others create. This is why Im sponsoring this website with advertisements and announcements. Lately I observe this place is filled with comments of personal kind , ( some would call it drama ). I am sure the majority here visiting this website for the same reason as I do are not happy with the continuously posted remarks of personal kind ( and disrespectful) . I wish to ask all who use this wonderful website to consider , where it was built for. If this website will become a gathering place for people who wish to display their frustrations, it will chase away others who are willing to invest in this medium. Please take this in consideration before you post ( and please use English if you can, this is an international community)

Hello
Thinking of those of you who have marine worlds, I have left copies of a jellyfish, an octopus, a giant squid, a loggerhead turtle, a Beluga whale, a Yubarta whale and a whale shark at the base of Subnautica (and the whale skeleton can also be copied).
There are also 5 new NPS in the class that you can copy.
Enjoy them

Hola
Pensando en los que tenéis mundos marinos, he dejado copias de una medusa, un pulpo, un calamar gigante, una tortuga boba, una ballena Beluga, una ballena Yubarta y un tiburón ballena en la base de Subnautica (y el esqueleto de la ballena también se puede copiar).
También hay 5 nuevos NPS en la clase que puedes copiar.
Disfrútalos

Yah, I said it ... tired of idiots, like James West, Travesty and other jerks ruining my experience... those that like or support this DRAMA wave,.... like and friend request me ... OPENSIM needs to be a TROLL-FREE-ZONE

sorry Thor, starting another shit-storm

THE BEAST!
The other day I walked past a fitness place named The Beast. That makes sense. They are going to pump you up into some kind of muscle-bound monster. What didn't make sense was their logo. It was...a unicorn. Ah yes, who doesn't associate unicorns with buffed beasts? Why, when I was a child, my favorite movie was "Beauty and the Unicorn." Or something. In any case, I made this outfit. It's got horns. Wear it and prowl around, searching for what? Unicorns?

oh HELLO: Outfits With Options. And now, a baby unicorn in every box!

what i am after is either a car and lock that opens doors, or a keycard and swipe machine. We have two hotels at present that we are outfitting, here at City of Serenity. We are trying to make things look authentic as in each room has a lock of some sort that needs a guest to open. Imaging a hotel you going to stay at and the door to your room thats what i want and opening system. I have been looking for a key i can hang on a hotel key board but to no avail and if i use a keycard system i need to be able to put room number and logo on it. Thank you

Well, I released a novelty item today. Every once in a while (well, maybe more often than that) I get obsessed with something goofy. I always thought stick men were cute, don't know why, I just do. So, I made animesh and avatar stick people. There are regular ruth size and also tiny versions. I put them on the second floor of the shop building right in front of the elevator. They are dancing in the landing zone purely for my entertainment :).

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!

You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.

Rest in peace, Gertie!

Ask Yourself:
You made a great cake, you did put all your time and effort in this cake. Then you sell it to make a few bucks extra, to pay the rent for the bakery. Then some else steels your recipe and starts making your cakes and gives free cakes to people. People no longer have to buy your cake and you can close your bakery. Do you think that is fair? This is the same thing. By grabbing all these illegal items ( and believe me ALL is illegal at Sacrarium grid ) you kill others, who try to be honest and do things the right way. This is not 'SHARING' and does not even come close to 'CARING'. Remember they only care about themselves and laugh about you the silly and dumb people who keep them alive. JUST DON'T! They copy everything except good behaviour :) They are the outcast in our society, they are worthless criminal people:) You do not want to be one of them.
And I probably will be banned, without notice, from this site, because they cannot deal with what we call 'FREEDOM of SPEECH'.

Opening this thread after someone has left a bad review on my sim because she didnt agree about the GDPR policy...

"Wth is GDPR policy"
- The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

"All grids asking for registration then?"
- Not all grids but the commercial ones were forced to.

"WTH I have to do with this law if I not even European?"
- YES, I KNOW.. IT SUCKS.... but... Grids owners cant control (or its too complex and costy $$$) to know who is who. I run a Norwegian sim but I could be from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on RL or even from Tivunantampuran, India and u wouldnt know...

"I DON`T LIKE PEOPLE COLLECTING DATA FROM ME"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... let me tell u a thing.. Info being collected refers only to ur av name, age, IP address, time u log in there and harware/software used on PC used only for grid statistics.. Grids owners are not worried if u watch porno on PC or even u own copybotted stuffs in inventory.. And guess what. ALL GRIDS ALWAYS COLLECTED info about u. Difference now u know tha happens!!

" I TRIED TO MAKE 3 TIMES REGISTRATION AND STILL CANT TP OUT"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... please follow carefully instructions from grids website.. Most of times (99,9%) are from people who types either "http" or the "/" (or even both) at hypergrid address.. For whom IMmed asking for help I could manage them all to get to my sim, so please dont give us, sim owners, a bad review. just try to contact us first (or why not the grid support).

"NAH, I STILL DONT WANT TO MAKE THE DAMN REGISTRATION"
-YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... Sun is yellow, Moon is white, someone here is gay - u couldnt not agree but if u still want to travel hypergrid (stuff u cant do at SL) its ur choice.. but nothing u do will change it. and my advise is: relax! registration is done once for AV!

"ITS TOO MUCH STEPS TO TRAVEL HYPERGRID.."
YES... I KNOW... IT SUCKS.... but... some people working to make process more simple. Hope one day all grids will do the same (but its all about $$$ u know)..
Bill Bright has just shown me a project he s been working at to make it more simple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regu...).

well, hope to have clarified about GDPR here. Please leave ur comments here and tell me what u think about this thread. Thx :)

Hey, all animeshie fiddlers!:)
Im getting more frequent questions about my animeshing, things like smooth folding wings, a peacock opening and closing tail...etc.;
In this pic, u see my peregrin falcon, with coloured bone groups:
Not going into detail here, but, as an example: wings,that's arms;
feathers= fingers....I disected all the individual digits:))
So, yes, its pretty insane and an even worse amount of work, but hey..
that damm bird looks só amazing folding,spreading in slowmotion........
You can see him in action in my shop, sitting on his sellbox.
Have fun!

My personal view on poaching. A detailed response to the post below from AnsjelaAmat

POACHING AS CARE.

Sometimes it seems like poaching players is about competition and the fight for an audience, if you view each player as a moneymaker, but you can look at it from a different perspective and see it as genuine care and a desire to unlock someone's potential. When someone invites players to join them, they truly notice them: they see that they have great ideas, that they want to create, and they try to create space for that. There's even something touching about this: after all, a person doesn't just sit in their region and count souls, but seeks out those who will be interesting and wants them to feel better.
It's great that there are so many different regions in the virtual world—players have a lot to choose from, and each corner strives to showcase its uniqueness. Some invite you because they believe that this is where people can discover new ways. We all have different tastes, and that's wonderful—some prefer peace and quiet, while others prefer vibrant projects and constant events. Diversity makes our world richer, and finding "your place" is an exciting adventure.
After all, the most valuable thing in virtual worlds isn't the land or the buildings, but the people who bring them to life. Let there be more spaces where players are seen, appreciated, and supported, and more stories where a simple invitation becomes the beginning of something truly amazing. Let everyone find a place where their ideas are warmly welcomed, and where they find people nearby with whom they want to create something amazing. If you're being lured away, go away—don't be afraid or ashamed. Perhaps for some of you, this will be a chance for a happy virtual life. After all, you can always go back if you don't like something. And don't let someone else dictate your opinion.

A New Chapter Ahead

After taking some time away, we have been giving a lot of thought to the future. Due to the many requests, messages, and words of encouragement from so many people, we are seriously considering making a return—with a fresh outlook and a stronger vision.

To be clear, this is not a reboot, nor is it anything like what one negative individual suggested in a previous comment.

What happened did hurt us, but it did not break us. If anything, it made us stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever.

This may be the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to sharing more when the time is right.

Keep an eye on future notices... there may be some exciting news ahead!

Ted & Sofee

After many months of adventures, events, creations, laughter, and wonderful moments shared together, Tierra de Volcanes will be taking a summer vacation.

Starting June 24, (TOMORROW) TDV will temporarily close its doors.

We'll be back on August 1, ready for new adventures, new surprises, and plenty of creativity.

Thank you for your friendship, your visits, and your support.

See you on August 1.

We lava U! ♥

Estate / Region management interface showing a few regions and then a region popped up for management (clearly not many options yet!!)

From here it will be possible to restart a region. Depending on your configuration of simulators this will either restart or shutdown - if its set to shutdown you need something else to start your region back up (monit is a good option).

Also OARs will be downloadable and uploadable from here. Due to the risks of operations like OAR backups / restores they will be configuable by constants on the config.php with at least restores disabled by default.

Still deciding what other tools to build in here.

There will also be some estate wide tools but that's not been started at all.

Map tiles are cached and not updated unless you request new ones. As they are calculated based on region size and downloaded in 256x256 chunks and stitched together getting them fresh each time is "expensive" especially on regions like the 4096x4096 I tested - thats a lot of chunks!

I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.

It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions

And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.

The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

I can't win for loosing! Hypergrid Passport Delayed. And On that note~ After changing Internet Providers Saphysworld was created and has been running for a week with no drops! A permanent move will be coming soon with ALL new items and Freebies.

May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ People. Wear something red for solidarity, hang a red dress or shirt in your window or on a tree. This can also be done virtually. Feel free to come get a dress on a hanger from Birch Grove Spring to hang somewhere on your own region.

Das Ermächtigungsgesetz von Hitler wurde von allen Parteien unterschrieben. Nur eine Partei hat es nicht unterschrieben - und das waren die Sozialdemokraten. Und die gingen am nächsten Tag zuhauf in die Gefängnisse und Konzentrationslager. Und wenn ich dann sage, die Nationalsozialisten waren auch Sozialisten, dann fälsche ich dieses Geschichtsbild ganz bewusst, um vor einem Wahlkampf Stimmen zu fangen und Leute zu verunsichern. Wenn ein Mensch hingeht und die Sozialisten, die in den Gefängnissen und KZs gesessen haben, mit den Nationalsozialisten vergleicht, dann tut er das wider besseres Wissen. Und das ist eine Brunnenvergifterei übelster Sorte.

Kulenkampff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hitler's Enabling Act was signed by all parties. Only one party refused to sign it—the Social Democrats. And the very next day, they were sent en masse to prisons and concentration camps. And when I then say that the National Socialists were also socialists, I am deliberately distorting this historical narrative to gain votes and unsettle people before an election campaign. If someone goes and compares the socialists who were imprisoned in jails and concentration camps with the National Socialists, they are doing so knowingly. And that is poisoning the well in the worst possible way. Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff

In short, I don't think Politics belongs on the OSW page. There is Facebook, Instagram, tictoc and other social media platforms to express our views. Most of us come here to Opensim to escape the BS, and we use the OSW page to see what is new in Opensim, not to have to deal with more ideologies and agendas. Please keep the politics out of the OSW page.

SCROLL TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE and click the SCRIPTS link.

IMAGE-NPC Machine — A streamlined NPC management station for OpenSim 0.9.x. Easily snapshot avatars' appearances into notecards, preview NPCs from your library, cycle animations for posing, and manage all NPCs from one linkset. This replaces our old four-script system with a single root-prim engine using pure OSSL—no permission issues or orphan NPCs. It's owner-only and prevents unauthorized sitting.

Quick Setup: In about 30 seconds, rez four cubes, link them, insert the assembler script, and touch once. It reshapes the linkset into the machine, then self-deletes. Add a few standing animations and the IMAGE-NPC Machine.lsl script to start using it.
