"My childhood was full of trapdoors and ejection seats instead of chutes and ladders".

I think that what OS needs is a script that will launch a chair and the sitter into the air like a fighter pilot's ejection seat. Sound effects - whatever we might imagine a chair like that sounds like when ejected, and some screams like what you'd hear on a carnival ride. The chair returns after a suitable time with the AV changed to look something like the post's image. The script should be able to be set to eject people randomly and/or in response to some trigger. I can supply the concept and the chairs. The rest I need help with. The AV switch will likely be the most difficult part to do.

I hope to use this in the Black Hole Dining Room in my club "Under The Overpass," currently under construction. Come see if you'd like.

Hey, community helpers. Know that you are appreciated. Sorry I've fallen behind in acknowledging and thanking you. I've reviewed the past two months of posts and made a list. Check out the post https://opensimworld.com/post/117832?msgSuccess=Posted

Please check out a new group and offer your ideas and suggestions
https://opensimworld.com/groups/1081

I'm still trying to figure out the name.
1. Why Yes! I Do Have a Media Site About OS.
2. OS News and Views: Blogs, Pix and Video".
3. The View: OS Blogs, Pix and Video.

And I'm still trying to figure out how to explain the aim of the group. Have a look at the current posts and you might get a sense of it.

@JustCurious wants a link to the discord group for this group. I did make a related group "What I Found on OS." It's been inactive for about 8 months now.

Anybody can check it out and revive it if you like

If anyone is looking to collaborate with people with skillz, the "What Are You Looking For" group is the place to ask.

So, there may or may not be people who want to work together like the Gilded Accord do. (Form a Builders Guild perhaps?).

The fine folks in the Sharing is Caring family have this all sorted out I think. They are some of the original importers and likely had a way to coordinate their efforts. @ChilliBean. Felix Mafia does a great amount of work with getting bodies and heads to work in OS. Last I checked, he's also part of the Sharing is Caring family.

Hello, I returned to Osgrid very recently, looking to develop my "virtual sailing" passtime :-). From past visits to the opensimulator grids I remember some sailing scripts developed by Edison Rex, from Zetaworlds. They were a very good alternative to SFsail (although these are fine too). I think Edison developed his version on the basis on Becca's open-source script. Anyway, now I see the sims which had these scripts are offline. Would anybody have one or some of Edison's boats or scripts? Any help would be much appreciated. June 1976

I was hearing some talk about the OpenPony avatar in SL. I think that is available in Open Sim as well, yes? It looks like the My Little Pony.

This is the listing in SL for the OpenPony:

This group is now one years old, and the largest, and most active on OSW. I created this group as an alternative to posting on the sometimes toxic front page box. It's clearly something that people find useful. Thanks to everyone for helping folks who are looking for stuff.

After a year, its time to assess and see what improvements we might be able to make. I know one big issue has been getting your posts noticed, as people may not make it a habit to check in here to see if there is someone looking for help.

The solution I found was to ask that people use our group chat to provide a link to their post to immediately alert people about it. The tricky thing is mentioning what kind of thing you are looking for, so the people who might be able to help are alerted, without saying exactly what you are looking for, which might result in a discussion in chat rather than a response to the post. We aim to be an alternative to asking for help via chat.

I seem to always be on the verge of finding a way to help say what you are looking for, generally, without saying what you are looking for specifically. So far the solution eludes me.

So, other than asking for help coming up with a solution to that dilemma, I'm looking for people to let us know about any other issues and/or suggestions about how to make the group work better.

Also, if someone wants to help plan a one year anniversary party event, let me know. It's an opportunity to get together with the friends you have, and the friends you have yet to meet, and to acknowledge everyone who has offered help in the past year.

Somewhat related to my previous request but warrants a separate post: I need help finding any buildings in a futuristic or hypermodern architectural style that work properly in an ubODE region (doors and rooms are traversable, no dropping through floors and stairs, etc). Thanks!

HI, I'm looking for a house called "Florida Home". I have one but it's no copy and I don't remember where I got it. While trying to get the doors to work, I reset the scripts and it broke the house! Now I just walk through it, under the floor. It's hard enough finding any house that works in ubODE out of the box so I'd really appreciate it!

I have over 60 free oars that I give away free, and I'm always adding more. Most buildings are furnished as well. I use Dreamgrid and they'll work for opensim and secondlife. As long as you can upload an oar, there's plenty to choose from. Hope this helps.

Hi / Bonjour,
I'm looking for a script that can delete duplicate objects in a box based on their UUID.
Rowin gave me a pretty close hud but it only searches for objects whose UUID matches the one you enter in the hud, which is very laborious with many objects (unless I didn't know how to use it, but I don't think so). Thanks in advance!

Here is a round up of chat requests from the last 20 days.

Request: Hello, I will need 3D numbers figures to make signs please.
Helper: FallenAngel Absent “I have a bunch. contact me in OsGrid please :-)”

Request: I am looking for [newer and better] swimming animations.
Helper: Esti Mation “have you been to LF grid? they seemed to have”

Request: Is there any place where I can find body deformers? Deformers specifically target body parts, like shoulders, butt or breasts.
Helper: No-one yet.

Request: anyone have animesh doctor, and a few other female bussiness dressed like animesh avatars?
Helper: No-one yet.

Request: anyone have a mesh lifeguard swinsuit?
Helper: No-one yet.

Please help with these requests if you can. Note that posts and replies for the past 10 months are still available in the group. Chat requests are available for only the past 20 days, don’t seem to get many helpful replies, and will disappear in time.

Verdict: Once more, post requests in group, and use chat to provide the link to help drive traffic to your post, where it will last forever and be available to archeologists from the 25th Century to study to help benefit all of human-kind! Be noble! Use the group for requests.

The Verdict About Group Chat In The What Are You Looking For Group
All: Please post your requests in the group, not in chat. Then, if you like, notify people via chat that there is a new post, and include the URL for it. That should drive more traffic to the post requests, which seems to have been lacking

Helpers: Please reply to the post in the group, freeing the chat from information that, like the front page box, will disappear in a short time.

This will preserve the purpose and usefulness of the group while helping people know that there are new post to check out.

Background: Some people say that making a request for help via chat gets a faster response. That's the result of people not visiting the group often enough to see if there are any new posts. A post and a chat notice of same will get more attention for the posts and help keep the group alive and lively, and also alive. (Did I mention alive? I guess I did).

I have someone who is looking for this item. If someone can help me out with this, I would appreciate that! TY ;)
moonshine still or the moonshine recipe. It's for the Satyr, Quintonia, Vivo Farming System. THANKS A BUNCH! ;)

Hi Beautiful Finding things People :),
Does anyone know if this is around Opensim, a group choreography dance machine like this one or similar Spot One https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Spot-On-Choreography-... Thank you :)

Good Day everyone, Hope everyone is well and safe!! I am looking for Grids that have vacation spots we can rent their
homes for a vacation or any places that are set up for camping if pl want to go camping for vacation. Its hard to have a big
family and all we can do is go clubbing. we want other things to do as well... so if there is any info about vacation grids or camping or places we can dine at i would so greatly appreciate it or like even great beaches you can do things there like surfing, or hand gliding, or diving into the ocean or swimming under the sea anything fun would help please!! sincerely Katana!!

@LynneLundquist TY love for this i surely do appreciate it omg its awesome ty love have a beautiful day if you ever need anything you can ask if i have it i will surely share it as well!!!! much love Katana Hart!!!

What I'm Looking For.
First, a way to shut up that crying kid (without smothering him with his balloon).

Second, helpers! Among our 108 members, we have a core group of super helpers and others who graciously lend a helping hand. What can we do to expand our circle of helpers?

Third, here is an easy way to help: promote this group. Recently, people are using the box more and more to make a request for help finding stuff. As you all know, comments in the box get drowned out by not nice comments. Even the nice ones push the requests down until they disappear. Hence this group. If you see a comment in the box, provide them with info
• About the group, for example, "Post about items you are, well, looking for. For outfits, builds, shops, services, and skills, and so on."
• Why to use it. The short time before requests go to oblivion in the box v.s. the enduring posts in the group.
• And this address: https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

But, I have to wonder. Are people posting requests in the box because they don't know about the group, or because we have not been helpful enough? :(

wasn't there someone last who was looking for a grotto/Cave? Where I answer "just put Rocks together to make one"... Just found one at iPleasure (R. Lion) --> Landscaping region. it is a skybox but I am sure you can Rez also on ground :-)
