Second-year, I will soon celebrate my Arkham's birthday, I added 8 regions this year, I have many projects to implement, thanks to all my friends and many fans. 2022? Innovation, news...
we discover by gaming

I've designated an adult hub I use as a home point in Second Life. I'd like to use an adult hub in OSgrid as my home point, so at least I don't get caught someplace weird to me while accidentally stuck in my birthday suit (been here a week, yeah, that's happened in SL as I don't have a home/rental there).

Thanks for any pointers!

The sand circle dance pit that I built a while back for Anango, it's currently not being used as I built it, which I find to be very disappointing however being that the circle part of it with the dances in it is being used inside a paga tavern I guess that's what happens.

Symphony Vive has a wonderful new artwork in the her gallery at the Art Factory, but it needs a title, any suggestions? So far we have:

Hirst Style 'The voyage of fragility in a fleeting moment of a gossamer existence'
Emin Style 'I thought you loved me, but it was never real'
Pollock Style 'Boat and Butterfly wings No. 23'
Dali 'Art Factory Dream - Woman finds Butterfly wings in place of sails'

The current issue of Stark Magazine is another wonderful piece of work by our talented photographer Nice Minik. Strong photos in black and white are based on the theme of the cinema genre "Film Noir".

Pick up your copy of this ornate edition directly from the Stark landing point, or take the entire vendors with you.

ARE U TIRED OF DRAMA HERE? ENOUGH FROM RL?U should grab then a copy of my new release, the 3D DRAMA DOG for ur area.. Available for FREE and FULL PERM. Get it NOW.. dont make me.... mad... (drama) lolol

In the history of Opensim there are thousands of people who, over the years, have accomplished something incredible in millions of hours. "Opensim" open the folder and try to read all the pages. You don't get old enough for that. They did this without asking for anything. Open source! That's why there are not only SL where you get ripped off. But more and more people with this sad character trait come to Opensim from there and destroy it with greed in line increments. Thousands of permissive people have created beautiful things. Each one in thousands of hours of their lifetime. Without thinking about profit. Just like socially supported by the state who want to earn black money here. Which eventually leads to the fact that we have to tax everything here in our country. So in the long run the social curtail themselves. If that happens exactly these Opensim will no longer be able to. I pray for taxes, because only that will save Opensim's morale. After 16 years of SL and LL mentor, Philip Rosedale, who let us down in 2010, and Ebbe Altberg, who is just as greedy for money, pass the A ... Opensim is alpha, a hobby and not a marketplace. If you can't finance your hobby, lolz should go fishing.

You copy all of these works. And you set this to no copy, no mod, no trans for others. Have you ever asked yourself what right? Compared to those who released these things to everyone CMT? You are selfish and arrogant towards Opensim Spirit. Did you ask these people if that's okay with them? If you do not understand this message, you will never be part of Opensim, but only a shadow of it. When I overrate myself, I start counting stars in the sky. That brings me back to the floor. Rakis Heron Freebie Grid Opensim Spirit as long as I breathe.

I salute as an army officer to all the people who have selflessly created all of this. My oath, I will do my utmost to maintain this. We owe that to everyone who created Opensim and made it what it is today. Everything else is an insult to these people.
Greed for profit does not belong in the opensim.

Giving and taking without circumcision is a matter of character.
Everything else belongs in Linden Lab's Second Life

In der Geschichte von Opensim gibt es tausende Menschen, die in all den Jahren, zusammen in Millionen Stunden etwas Unglaubliches zustande gebracht haben. "Opensim" öffne den Ordner und versuche all die Seiten zu lesen. Du wirst nicht alt genug dafür. Sie leisteten dies, ohne etwas zu verlangen. Open Source! Deshalb gibt es nicht nur SL wo man abgezockt wird. Aber immer mehr Menschen mit dieser traurigen Charaktereigenschaft kommen von dort zu Opensim und zerstören es mit ihrer Habgier in Zeilenschritten. Tausende freizügige Menschen haben schöne Sachen erstellt. Jeder einzelne in tausenden von Stunden ihrer Lebenszeit. Ohne an Profit zu denken. So wie Sozial unterstützte vom Staat, die hier schwarz verdienen wollen. Was irgendwann dazu führt, dass wir alles hier bei unserem Land versteuern müssen. Also die Sozialen beschneiden sich auf Dauer selber. Wenn, das eintritt werden genau diese Opensim nicht mehr vermögen. Ich bete für Steuern, denn leider nur das wird die Moral von Opensim retten. Nach 16 Jahren SL und LL Mentor, geht mir Philip Rosedale der uns 2010 im Stich liess und Ebbe Altberg der genau so geldgierig ist, am A... vorbei. Opensim ist Alpha, ein Hobby und kein Marktplatz. Wer sein Hobby nicht finanzieren kann, lolz soll fischen gehen.

Du kopierst all diese Werke. Und setzt diese bei Dir auf no copy, no mod, no trans für andere. Hast Du Dich schon einmal gefragt mit welchem Recht? Gegenüber denen die diese Sachen für alle frei gaben CMT? Du bist egoistisch und arrogant gegenüber Opensim Spirit. Hast Du diese Menschen gefragt, ob ihnen das recht ist? Wenn Du diese Botschaft nicht verstehst, wirst Du nie ein Teil von Opensim sein, sondern nur ein Schatten dessen. Wenn ich mich überbewerte, fange ich an Sterne am Himmel zu zählen. Das bringt mich auf den Boden zurück. Rakis Heron Freebie Grid Opensim Spirit so lange ich atme.

Ich salutiere als Armee Offizier vor all den Menschen die all dies selbstlos geschaffen haben. Mein Schwur, ich werde mit aller Kraft versuchen dies zu erhalten. Das schulden wir all denen die Opensim erschaffen, und zu dem gemacht haben, was es heute ist. Alles andere ist eine Beleidigung diesen Menschen gegenüber.
Profitgier gehört nicht ins Opensim.

Geben und nehmen ohne Beschneidung ist Charaktersache.
Alles andere gehört ins Second Life von Linden Lab

*** NEW RELEASE ****NG - NEXT GENERATION GREEDY GAME TABLES *** Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Please read notecard READ ME before using table + controller as there are many extra features! I reproduce text from NC here though:
NG GREEDY TABLES NOW are in 2 pieces;

- Table itself (around 41 prims, depending on model used and only 3 scripts);
- Greedy Controller Board (GCB) (89 prims and 1 script); and it can be paired to only ONE TABLE!


ATTENTION: ALWAYS REZ THE TABLE BEFORE THE OTHER PARTS OTHERWISE THE PAIRING WON`T WORK! WHEN BOARD REZED IT SHOWS IN GREEN "SELECT A TABLE". WHEN PEOPLE STARTS PLAYING THE GAME, BOARD SHOWS "GAME IN PROGRESS" IN YELLOW. IF THESE SENTENCES DON`T SHOW UP, DELETE BOTH TABLE AND BOARD AND START ALL AGAIN.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------(GCB) GREEDY CONTROLLER BOARD

ACCESS: U can now set who will be able to change the settings from ur table.

JOIN ON SIT (*): When selected, players will be added automatically to the game when they sit down. If not selected, they need sit down and click JOIN.

(*) Selected or not, players can play the game without sitting down (since they are not far away from table - see PLAY RANGE).

POINTS MODE:
KEEP: Let`s say player A makes 1,4K and leave two dices to be rolled. So next player, B, can choose either ROLL with this two dices left or click STOP and then ROLL again, so table will refresh to 6 dices to rolled. But If player B decides to roll with these two dices left and at least one of them is "1" or a "5" and press STOP he will KEEP the 1,4K points made by player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

STEAL: Exactly like KEEP mode but if player B rolls a "1" or "5" from the two dices left from player A and press STOP he will STEAL the 1,4K points from player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

CLASSIC: Like on V6 tables, so no KEEP / STEAL mode enabled.

DEVIL DICE: When selected, eventually a devil will show instead of a numbered dice. It works like a "joker dice" u often see from SL tables: u can select any value to that dice to make a combo with a highest score possible. Eg: U have two "6". so u could make the devil dice to be a "6" so u will have 6,6,6 (600 points).

SOUNDS: When selected, sounds from table will be ON; when unselected, OFF (sounds volume can be controlled by the buttom VOLUNME);

PARTICLES: It refers to particles threw when game is over: when selected, ON when unselected, OFF;

CHAT: It refers to open chat messages coming from the table during a game: When selected, ON (a); when unselected, OFF (b).

(a) Open chat will be read by players only though. Very handy if u need rez 2 or more tables, close to each other.
(b) Only table reset and winner info will be displayed. Very handy for rezzing tables at club areas.



POINTS TO WIN: It refers the max points a player should reach to be the winner;

POINTS TO JOIN: It refers the min points a player should have to be "in the board".

PLAY RANGE: It refers how far in meters a player can play the game and be recognized by the table. In this case, player needs to press JOIN to join the game. If it occurs the player is > 64 meters, table will do the self cleaning.

ROUND TIME: Time in seconds, a player can play his turn, starting conter AFTER player rolls the dice.

SKIP IDLE: Time in seconds a player has to roll the dices when its ur turn, otherwise a red skip button will show up (between ROLL and STOP on table) and ANYONE (*) can skip the current player.. Very handy for lazy players who are watching Facebook instead of playing greedy lol).

(*) Player won`t able to skip him/herself though.

OBS: When SKIP IDLE is selected to 0 (zero) it will be considered as disabled during the game.


SKIP POINTS: It refers the points given to who skips a player. A such nice incentive to skip lazy players :)

VOLUME: As name says, it controls the volume of sound from table.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun!

Hello folks,
im planning to open a Venice theme sim.. unfortunately havent found nothing around HG (mesh preferred..), please if anoyone know a shop where i can found someting interesting, can contact me?
thx^^

Hello everyone, looking for some scripting help. At one time HyperGrid Business had an article about using Google sheets as a database but since they've changed how sheets are handled, it's broken the code. Anyone know how to do this? It's the only method I can think of to make my project cross-hypergrid.

DreamGrid statistics from the last 9 months:

39,918 regions hosted

250,962 standard Second Life-sized region equivalents

For comparison, Second Life has approximately 54,760 standard-sized region equivalents at the high end.

That's an extraordinary amount of virtual land supported by DreamGrid installations!

https://www.reddit.com/r/DreamGrid/comments/1x7uhpv/dreamg...

I’m about to make an unpopular post — not because it’s cruel, but because it breaks the narratives people cling to. And today, I’m breaking them.

TLDR: Just download Wolf Viewer, come get a free account, and see!

I’m on Wolf Territories now. Before that, I spent years in a certain non‑hypergrid virtual world starting in 2006. I left for over a decade because it was too expensive and too technically demanding. When I returned, I found myself boxed in again — prim limits, permission limits, high costs, and almost no free resources. I limped along.

Then I went to OSCC in Nov 2020. I saw the educators who had already escaped the old world. They had better avatars, better tools, better environments. One of them showed me around, and that was it — I was home.

I’m an educator with 32 years of consulting experience and Fortune‑level clients. That old world once helped me build a business presence that made serious money from 2007–2010. Even with restrictions, we proved what could be done.

But my criteria have always been different from the average hypergrid resident:
- Tech first. Support first.
- Community optional.
- Forward motion mandatory.
- No grid‑owner celebrity cults.
- I am a customer, not a worshipper.

These are my standards. They won’t fit everyone, and that’s fine.
Wolf Territories met them. More than met them. This grid is not just ahead — it’s operating on enterprise infrastructure with boutique pricing. And no, it’s not free. You cannot get 14 servers, dual object storage, and active development for free. You cannot get Fortune‑grade tech leadership for free. You cannot get enterprise internet for free.

And yet, it is STILL affordable. Especially compared to that unnamed world.

Our grid owner isn’t trying to be a clone of the unnamed world. He’s demonstrating real tech capability, just like I used to do for my clients.

And now, in just the last few months, Wolf Territories has rolled out features that fundamentally change what OpenSim can be:
1) Wolf Viewer
A new, security‑focused viewer built for modern infrastructure — not legacy assumptions.

2) Accessibility Tools
Real tools for teaching, learning, and play. Actual accessibility baked into the platform.

3) True Gaming Systems
A built‑in framework for real game mechanics — not hacked scripts or half‑solutions. Actual game development inside OpenSim.

4) Integrated Mixer & Broadcasting
Music, DJing, podcasting — all native. No external tools. No duct tape. Just seamless creation and broadcast.

5) Environmental & Vehicle Systems
- Clouds, water waves, surfing, real system water on a prim, and proper vehicle controls:
* Cars
* Planes
* Submarines
* Ships
* Boats
* Helicopters
Not “sort of works if you’re lucky.” Actual physics. Actual control.

6) Free Inworld Office Space, Inworld Shops, and Streams for residents!
Land owners get these things regardless of plot size.

7) Built‑In Compass
Added because one very directionally challenged individual begged for it. (You’re welcome.)

8) Terrain Painting & Built‑In Weather System + EEP
Region lighting and weather that can match nearly any real‑world location. Snow and rain use particles — not mesh. Snow accumulates on the ground while it’s falling. You can paint your terrain instead of using the texture pallet - which you can still do.

9) AI Integration (Unparalleled)
On‑ground AI that can:
- Write accurate LSL
- Run AI NPCs with spontaneous, natural conversation
- Assist with teaching, roleplay, creativity
- And anything else you think of — Lone will likely build it

10) Extreme Terrain Capability
Mountains up to over 800m high. Depths down to 100m below water.

11) Incredibly generous prim packages
Up to 12M prims….because there are now 1000x1000 VAR regions (and yes, THOSE are EXPENSIVE)

12) Generous complexity for mesh uploads

13) Incredibly high reliability / uptime
Enterprise stability. Not hobby‑grade.

14) Enterprise-level security
- A far more secure viewer
- A control panel for land owners
- OAR uploads on demand and checked for being secure and virus-free
- No requirements for approval of new accounts - because that is not a security issue for this grid

Every day, Lone releases something new — for fun, for education, for creativity.
And that is why I am here.
Not because it is free or nearly free.
Not because it is the cheapest or the most expensive (because it is not).
Not because I’m friends with Lone Wolf… AND I AM.
Not because I am required to volunteer… AND I DO.
I am here because Wolf Territories is affordable, best value, technology‑advanced, and has a great community. Come and download Wolf Viewer, get a free account, and start REALLY LIVING in a virtual world!

SVPortal v2.0 Beta 1 is now available.

This release brings the new setup registry to replace most of the configuration in config.php (some items have to stay there - like database connection details: you cant get the database connection details from the database until you know how to connect to the database!)

Existing users will need to upgrade their grid settings, and a script is provided to do this - but please read the note on the download at https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/.

Please visit https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/ for more information, and download.

NOTE: SVPortal is a totally separate standalone application running in PHP. It is not a plugin to WordPress or any other CMS it is a full application by itself.

Vehicle couplings on Wolf Territories: trailers, caravans and trains that really hitch up.

Trailers and caravans on Wolf Territories are now joined to their vehicle by a real physics joint in the region's physics engine (ubODE and BulletSim both), not a script chasing the truck. The trailer swings, tracks round corners and is pulled like the real thing.

How it works
- The front vehicle (truck, car, locomotive) gives itself a coupler key and names its hitch points: a fifth wheel, a tow ball, a coupler hook.
- The rear (trailer, caravan, carriage) asks to attach to that key at that point. Back the truck up to the trailer and it couples once the hitch points are within reach (3 m by default).
- The coupling is saved in the object and comes back after a region restart, after editing, and across region crossings, until you detach.
- It uses your own key name, not a UUID, so it survives take and rez. Only vehicles with the same owner couple, so your key never clashes with anyone else's.

New LSL functions

wolfCouplerSetKey, wolfCouplerSetPoint, wolfCouplerRemovePoint, wolfAttach, wolfDetach, wolfAttachInfo

Joint types: WOLF_JOINT_BALL (tow ball, caravans), WOLF_JOINT_FIFTHWHEEL (articulated lorries),
WOLF_JOINT_COUPLER (railway)
Status: WOLF_ATTACH_NONE, WAITING, COUPLED, BROKEN. Pull a pair too far apart and it breaks away.

Full documentation with copy-paste examples:
https://wolf-grid.com/index.php?f=lsl

The WolfStorm web viewer's script editor already highlights the new functions and shows their tooltips.

Come and try them: truck and trailer, car and caravan, and a train running on its own railway loop are on the Sandbox region.

ypergrid: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Sandbox

Couplings are rolling out across the grid today; each region picks them up at its restart. These are Wolf Territories features and won't work on other grids.

gyazo has been down for a few weeks. who knows if they will return. I made a desktop screenshot tool that's simple, lightweight and opensource. It uses Control+Shift+G instead of C because lots of things use C including camera tools in firestorm, so it's hella annoying. G has no conflicts i've found yet. You can install peepski or build your own if you want. get it at https://peepski.com/ :)
