I'm in the process of getting my region back up and running . . . their are some technical difficulties but I will be back on as soon as I can . . . if not then sooner! I am truly sorry for any inconvenience!

As no-one else who was at the meeting has posted this yet, here's kind of good news from Sunday:

OSgrid will not shut down forever!

It will shut down on December 31st at midnight, yes. But it'll shut down in order to wipe the asset server. Same thing as the Asset Reset last year. Then it will come back online.

This means your accounts and your avatars are safe. They will not be deleted. You will not have to register new accounts or create new avatars. You will get to keep the avatars which you have now. They'll just have empty inventories.

This also means you've got time until December 30th to save the stuff you have in OSgrid that you need to save. But please don't wait until the last moment. If all those who can export IARs do it at the same time, this will overload the asset server. (Yes, IARs are safe. They're copies of your inventory. Your inventory is not poisoned, even though the asset server itself is.)

If you have land attached to OSgrid, you may export an IAR. If not, I myself recommend you to send the items that you absolutely need saved to an avatar in another grid (and items that can be picked up from freebie stores right now don't fall under this category). Basically the same as last year, remember?

If you don't have land, but you absolutely need an IAR export for some reason (and laziness is no such reason, sorry), you may send albertIr Landar an e-mail, and he'll export an IAR for you. He will need your OSgrid login password for that. Again, don't wait until the deadline and ask him then. Even albertIr can only export so many IARs at any given time, and if 100 users mail him to export their IARs on December 30th, he most certainly won't get all 100 done before the shutdown.

One thing will change: OSgrid won't let anyone and everyone attach sims just like that anymore, starting next year. Only "trusted" hosters will be allowed to attach sims. Don't ask me what exactly that means; the OSgrid board hasn't published a definition yet either. I've overheard at the meeting that those who have sims attached to OSgrid right now count as trusted. But don't take this for official information.

If you want official information from the board: Wait until the OSgrid wiki is updated.

Working on a project with Lone Wolf from WT: it`a 20x20 VAR region with the (so far) the highest mountain found on opensim (the peak found is 901 meters O.o@@@@!! it `s a SIM connetected north from TROMSO called SENJA (from Senja mountains in Norway). but unsure about the name - or maybe redo the Tromso into it. SIM is opened for visitations but not much many things built there yet just a bunch of trees, a harbor and a medieval viking church (Stavkirk).If you want to come , u will need to use Wolfviewer or Wolfstorm though as from the normal FS u will crash (reason is because FS built for SL and SL dont have VAR regions, not evben the monster-var we have now on opensim). but if u using the correect viewer, welcome and try to climb to the summit!

Lets wind down from all the partying and roller coaster rides and experience how peaceful a walk in the park with the latest Horse script (now at release 3.3.0081 for UBOde) really is.
Riding the horse as a vehicle is the very best horse(back) riding experience to date. No more gliding off hills. Physically jumping is fun too.
Start your trip at EAS at the East side of Neiferleaf and walk the trail via Nestir where you can excercise physical jumping and barrel racing, the walk via the Northorn region towards Neiferleaf's castle, but beware of dragons and ghost riders.

Start your trip at hop://grid.vibel.eu:8002/Eas/328/458/34 and enjoy the ride.

We are a little more than a week away from our MAIN EVENT and we decided to give "G-Forced" the AXE! In its place: Chaos Cheese Factory and this is no kiddie ride. Dirty Helga key-framed this one... I think my way is better! Come on down and try it out!

Set your clocks for our MAIN EVENT:
Honoring all who contribute meaningfully to our platform.

Veronica, you have never been to our grid. Why do you continue to promote hatred here ? Does it make you feel important? Asking for all my friends. Stop slandering the grid when you know nothing about us.

I have moved to VWZ grid taking a break from malls and big building projects though I am halping out with the Mosaic Music project. Mosaic is all about bringing people together through music design and giving people fun places to hear different styles of music.

A Special Announcement from Twiztid Timez Grid

We are pleased to announce that Yana Dakota was recently back in-world on Samsara to finally complete her long-awaited exhibition dedicated to The Walk for Peace.

This meaningful exhibition follows the Buddhist monks on their journey from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., honoring their message of peace, compassion, unity and nonviolence.

Visitors will be able to experience a carefully created exhibition featuring photographs from the journey, the different states along the route, portraits of the monks, Aloka the Peace Dog, and a beautiful Coming Home section.

The exhibition also includes streams connected to The Walk for Peace, allowing visitors to experience and follow the journey beyond the photographs displayed in the exhibition.

Yana has devoted considerable time, creativity and love to bringing this journey to life in Samsara. The exhibition is intended not simply to be viewed, but to be experienced, a peaceful journey through images, memories, moving pictures and the spirit of compassion.

The exhibition is now nearing completion, and we look forward to sharing the official opening announcement with you soon.

Please watch this space for further details.

With peace and warmth,

Faith
Twiztid Timez Grid

🇬🇧 Our Yes ❤️💍

Not where festive church bells are ringing,
not where flowers line the way.
In a room filled with worry,
we will speak our vows and say “yes” anyway.

Cancer may weaken your body,
and no one knows how much time remains.
But there is one thing it can never take:
the love between us that stays.

I hold your hand within my own,
as I have held it every day.
And tomorrow I will say “I do,”
because love can be stronger than fear.

However long the road before us,
however hard tomorrow may be:

Today we are two people who love each other.
Tomorrow we are two – united forever. ❤️

🇩🇪 Unser Ja ❤️💍

Nicht dort, wo Glocken festlich klingen,
nicht dort, wo Blumen Wege säumen.
In einem Zimmer voller Sorgen
sagen wir Ja zu unseren Träumen.

Der Krebs mag deinen Körper schwächen,
und uns bleibt ungewiss die Zeit.
Doch was er niemals nehmen kann,
ist unsere Liebe, die uns bleibt.

Ich halte deine Hand in meiner,
wie ich sie hielt an jedem Tag.
Und morgen sage ich dir „Ja“,
weil Liebe stärker sein kann als die Angst.

Wie lang der Weg auch vor uns liegt,
wie schwer auch das Morgen sei:

Heute sind wir zwei, die sich lieben.
Morgen sind wir zwei – für immer vereint. ❤️

🎉 Tour Script — UPDATED! 🎉

If you've been using the classic OSW keymotion touring script for your boats, carriages, cars, or balloons — it just got a serious upgrade.

📍 Region-Crossing Support
Your tour vehicle can now travel across region lines and come back, instead of being stuck looping inside one sim.

🔄 Resume Feature
Hit STOP mid-tour, and your vehicle no longer snaps back to the start when you continue — it now resumes from the nearest waypoint, right where it left off.

🔓 Two versions available:

Anyone (public access) — open to all
🔒 Group Only (group-gated) — restrict the controls to your own group

Same notecard-based route format you already know, same simple touch menu — just with cross-region travel and a real resume built in.

Grab it here: https://opensimworld.com/library?view=170

Questions? Drop them below — happy to help anyone get it running on their own build. 🚤🎈🐎🚌

If you create in OpenSim, there is a resource worth bookmarking: Fred Beckhusen’s Outworldz Creator resources.

It is one of those places where you can arrive looking for one texture and an hour later realize you’ve found enough material for three completely different projects. 😊

Outworldz has collected and preserved an enormous library of resources for virtual-world creators, including:

• Creative Commons seamless textures
• Thousands of mesh, sculpt and 3D resources
• 1,000+ free LSL scripts
• Avatars and avatar components
• Animations and sounds
• OARs and IARs
• Building kits, objects and project files
• Tools, tutorials and other creator resources

One particularly valuable collection is the work of Linda Kellie, whose creations were generously made available to the community. Outworldz preserves a huge selection of her textures and other resources so creators can continue putting them to use. The seamless texture library alone includes hundreds of Linda Kellie materials, including fabrics, stone, tile, glass and building surfaces.

And it goes far beyond textures. The Outworldz 3D library currently contains more than 1,800 downloadable entries, including mesh, DAE/OBJ files, animations, sounds, OARs, IARs and complete resource packs.

The script library contains more than 1,000 open-source, copyleft and public-domain LSL scripts, searchable by category and creator.

This isn't simply a pile of freebies. It's a creator's toolbox and an archive of work contributed by people who helped build our virtual-world community. Fred has put an extraordinary amount of work into collecting, organizing, converting and keeping these resources accessible.

Before deciding you don't have what you need for your next project, take a look through Outworldz. Chances are Fred has already tucked something useful into the toolbox.

https://outworldz.com/

Create something. Experiment. Learn something new. Then build something wonderful with it.

Fred thank you very much for everything you give to the community, I have learned so much using your portal. YOU totally rock!

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

We're creating a historic French Acadian village at GroovyVerse, and I wanted to share some of the soundtrack we created.

It's a mix of old folk songs, a few modern pop songs, and a few original ones I wrote. Played in a Cape Breton celtic/folk style mostly.
I am just starting to learn french and chiac languages, so don't beat me up if my french is terrible. lol

Buoys! Performed some updates on this buoy. PBR makeover and now this buoy bobs and rocks in the water. (Place in sim water and then touch it to auto height adjust.) Also some PBR materials in the shop, custom signs at request.

🚨 Breaking news from Sciattisi!
She's landed, the icon, the diva, the dark queen: Jane.
A complete avatar with more curves than a mountain road and a soul as black as Monday morning coffee. 😈☕

You're not ready, but she is. And I assure you, she'll leave you speechless (and maybe even a little envious).

🖤 Warning: Jane's outfit is a complete exclusive to this Avatar.
Looking for it in stores? A waste of time.
It's like looking for Wi-Fi in the middle of the desert. 💅

Once more I apologize. A lot of people came to FLORA and couldn`t have the copy of the sculpts set box inside (among others). When it`s 1st happened, I thought.. ok. it was 3.am. tired... I might have forgotten put it . But then, I put an 2nd time. and people still saying it`s not there.. U know. Opensim can be really weird with assets. Originally the sculpts were on my AMV account , then I brought them to WT grid and worked on script when I was there. Tried to bring back to AMV (as FLORA is here), had assets issues.. had to bring piece by piece.. So to avoid further issues... I put a 3rd time If for some reason one s till cant have it, I rezzed the SCULPT SET box on the ground.. Once more sorry for the inconvenience. And people from opensim knows that these weirdnesses happens all the time...

The next selection for the Homelandz Public Library might be the most useful, for some. 489 pages helping anyone from beginner to advanced Blender user to understand the VAST many capabilities of this wonderful and FREE software called blender! May we all improve our Blender skills and help OpenSim to grow to be a more beautiful and amazing place!

Note: Seriously, if you can spare some dough to support the author, PLEASE DO. Especially if you can get the pdf as cheap as me via Amazon ($3usd). Yes, there is a TON of free info out there on Blender, but to get so much in easy to understand, step by step instructions...perhaps decide if it's within your budget to show the author some support! :D

Picked up the lovely Celia avatar from Agartha just for the gown, which is gorgeous just with the regular textures. But I couldn't resist adding the gold pbr textures you see here. The dress is no transfer, so I can't give away a copy, but I put out a box in the lobby at Lunaria Emporium with the materials and textures I created for it. You can find it near the group joiner next to a viking outfit, both are free and full perm to use how you like.

You can find the original Celia avatar here: hop://agartha.ovh:8002/Agartha/218/57/1514
