Hi everyone.
An update on OpenSim-Aura, current version v1.0.6.
https://github.com/amandaleeang/OpenSim-Aura
This release adds server-side bake (Firestorm SSA). It is live now on my test sim.
Server-side bake includes:
• 2K textures
• Cached bakes and XBakes for standalone and Robust grids
• XBakes for HG visitors

Other highlights
• Attachment scripts start on HG teleport
• Display names set from the viewer
• Display names carried on HG (OpenSim-Aura only)
• Concurrent asset transfer for copy, give folder, open object, and buy object
• Concurrent asset gather on HG teleport
• Online status kept through HG teleports

Binaries are on the Releases page.

Feedback welcome.

Modding the LouTan movement reactive hex dancefloor to no longer only react to stepping on it physically, but also when on solo and couple dance balls , huds, chimeras etc. Why is this challenging? sounds ez? Well, opensim and sl treat you as a ghost more or less when you are being animated. You are no longer a physical thing. While my enhancements are far from flawless, i feel it adds an extra level of realism and interest to an already super cool item. Found the original from Druskus and ZoneNations, i do believe. so all credit to him and them. I'm just trying to make it even cooler!

UPDATE:
🎉 NEVERWORLD GRID IS BACK ONLINE! 🎉

💾 Data Restored — all systems and user data recovered intact

🛠️ NEVERWORLD GRID — SERVER MIGRATION IN PROGRESS 🛠️

Hey everyone! NeverWorld Grid ran into a hardware issue on our end that required us to move to a new server. We're actively working through the migration — mounting the new system, restoring data, and getting everything relinked and rebooted.

The Main Grid is temporarily offline while this happens. Full data restoration takes time to do right, so we appreciate your patience — we want everything to come back exactly as it should, not rushed.

In the meantime, come build with us on the Dev Grid! 🏗️
Create an account and hop on right now:
🔗 https://dev.neverworldgrid.com/

Sandbox away, build, test, export — a good way to stay productive while we finish up.

We'll post the moment the Main Grid is back online. Thanks for hanging in there with us — NWG's coming back stronger! 💙

SVPortal now has a pannable world map.

Estate owners/managers can add information about their region (including images if TinyMCE is installed in SVPortal) and this information along with basic details such as name, maturity, estate, position and a "Copy HOP" button is displayed when the region is clicked in the world map.

SVPortal can be downloaded (always free) from https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/

☕ Cozy Up & Grab Your Gifts!

🌙 **BLOODMOON MARKETPLACE IS NOW OPEN!** 🛍️



After many weeks of development and successful testing, we are happy to announce that the **BloodMoon Marketplace is now officially open!** 🎉

🔗 **Marketplace:**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace

📖 **Help Center:**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace/help.php

⚠️ **The Marketplace is brand new, so there are currently only a few products available.**

This launch is therefore also an invitation to **OpenSimulator creators**: if you create clothing, objects, buildings, scripts, animations, decorations, vehicles or any other content, you are welcome to create your own shop and start building the Marketplace with us. 🏪✨

The goal now is to gradually fill the Marketplace with creations from the community.

🛒 **FOR BUYERS**

You can browse shops and products, use favorites and carts, and purchase products directly from the Marketplace.

Products can be offered:

🪙 in **BM$**
💳 through **PayPal**
🔄 or with **both payment methods**

Whenever possible, we encourage **0 BM$ transactions and free sharing**, as BloodMoon is not intended to become a commercial grid.

Of course, every creator remains completely free to choose how they distribute their creations and to set their own prices.

🏪 **FOR CREATORS & SELLERS**

Creating a shop is free.

Creators can publish their products, organize them into one or several shops and choose how they want to distribute them.

💳 Creators who wish to monetize their work can use **PayPal**.

PayPal payments are sent **directly to the seller's own PayPal account**.

❤️ **BloodMoon takes no commission on Marketplace sales.**

PayPal's own transaction fees may still apply.

Depending on PayPal availability, buyers may also be able to pay by **bank card without having a PayPal account**.

📦 **THE MAGIC BOX**

Products are connected to the Marketplace through the official **BloodMoon Marketplace Magic Box**.

Simply:

📦 Rez your Magic Box on BloodMoon
🔑 Activate it from your Seller Area
📥 Add your products
🔄 Let the Magic Box synchronize automatically
🏪 Create your shop
🛍️ Publish your products
🚚 The Magic Box handles deliveries automatically

🏠 **NO LAND FOR YOUR MAGIC BOX?**

No problem!

BloodMoon is currently preparing a dedicated **Magic Box Hub** region with **small parcels provided completely free of charge** for Marketplace sellers who need a place to keep their Magic Box online.

🚧 **The region is still being prepared and the parcels are not available yet. They should be ready within the next few days.**

Once opened, you will simply be able to search the World Map for:

🌐 **Magic Box Hub**

Available parcels will be rentable for **0 BM$** and reserved for Marketplace Magic Boxes.

👤 **BLOODMOON ACCOUNT**

A **BloodMoon account is required to use the Marketplace**, purchase products and access seller features.

Creating a BloodMoon account is free.

❤️ **OUR PHILOSOPHY**

BloodMoon Marketplace was not created to turn BloodMoon into a commercial grid.

Its purpose is first and foremost to provide the OpenSimulator community with a modern and simple way to **share creations and distribute content**.

We therefore encourage creators who wish to share freely to offer their products for **0 BM$**.

At the same time, creators who wish to monetize their original work are free to do so through BM$ or PayPal.

**The choice always belongs to the creator.**

🌱 The Marketplace is only just beginning.

If you are a creator, **come create your shop, publish your creations and help us build the BloodMoon Marketplace!**

🌙 **LE BLOODMOON MARKETPLACE EST OUVERT !** 🛍️



Après plusieurs semaines de développement et de nombreux tests concluants, nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que le **BloodMoon Marketplace est désormais officiellement ouvert !** 🎉

🔗 **Marketplace :**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace

📖 **Centre d'aide :**
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace/help.php

⚠️ **Le Marketplace vient tout juste d'ouvrir et il contient donc encore très peu de produits.**

Ce lancement est avant tout aussi une invitation aux **créateurs OpenSimulator** : si vous créez des vêtements, objets, bâtiments, scripts, animations, décorations, véhicules ou tout autre contenu, vous êtes les bienvenus pour créer votre propre boutique et participer avec nous au développement du Marketplace. 🏪✨

L'objectif est maintenant de remplir progressivement le Marketplace avec les créations de la communauté.

🛒 **POUR LES ACHETEURS**

Vous pouvez parcourir les boutiques et les produits, utiliser les favoris et les paniers, puis effectuer vos achats directement depuis le Marketplace.

Les produits peuvent être proposés :

🪙 en **BM$**
💳 via **PayPal**
🔄 ou avec **les deux moyens de paiement**

Lorsque cela est possible, nous encourageons les **transactions à 0 BM$ et le partage gratuit**, car BloodMoon n'a pas vocation à devenir une grille commerciale.

Chaque créateur reste bien entendu entièrement libre de choisir la manière dont il souhaite distribuer ses créations et d'en fixer le prix.

🏪 **POUR LES CRÉATEURS ET VENDEURS**

La création d'une boutique est gratuite.

Les créateurs peuvent publier leurs produits, les organiser dans une ou plusieurs boutiques et choisir la manière dont ils souhaitent les distribuer.

💳 Les créateurs qui souhaitent monétiser leur travail peuvent utiliser **PayPal**.

Les paiements PayPal sont envoyés **directement sur le propre compte PayPal du vendeur**.

❤️ **BloodMoon ne prélève aucune commission sur les ventes du Marketplace.**

Les éventuels frais de transaction propres à PayPal restent applicables.

Selon les possibilités proposées par PayPal, les acheteurs peuvent également avoir la possibilité de payer par **carte bancaire sans posséder de compte PayPal**.

📦 **LA MAGIC BOX**

Les produits sont reliés au Marketplace grâce à la **Magic Box officielle du BloodMoon Marketplace**.

Il suffit de :

📦 Rezer votre Magic Box sur BloodMoon
🔑 L'activer depuis votre espace vendeur
📥 Ajouter vos produits
🔄 Laisser la Magic Box synchroniser automatiquement son inventaire
🏪 Créer votre boutique
🛍️ Publier vos produits
🚚 La Magic Box assure ensuite automatiquement les livraisons

🏠 **PAS DE TERRAIN POUR VOTRE MAGIC BOX ?**

Aucun problème !

BloodMoon prépare actuellement une région dédiée, **Magic Box Hub**, avec de **toutes petites parcelles mises gratuitement à disposition** des vendeurs qui ont besoin d'un emplacement pour laisser leur Magic Box en ligne.

🚧 **La région est encore en cours de préparation et les parcelles ne sont donc pas encore disponibles. Elles devraient l'être d'ici quelques jours.**

Une fois la région ouverte, il suffira de rechercher sur la carte du monde :

🌐 **Magic Box Hub**

Les parcelles disponibles pourront être louées pour **0 BM$** et seront réservées aux Magic Boxes du Marketplace.

👤 **COMPTE BLOODMOON**

Un **compte BloodMoon est nécessaire pour utiliser le Marketplace**, effectuer des achats et accéder aux fonctions vendeur.

La création d'un compte BloodMoon est gratuite.

❤️ **NOTRE PHILOSOPHIE**

Le BloodMoon Marketplace n'a pas été créé pour transformer BloodMoon en grille commerciale.

Son objectif est avant tout d'offrir à la communauté OpenSimulator un moyen moderne et simple de **partager ses créations et distribuer du contenu**.

Nous encourageons donc les créateurs qui souhaitent partager librement leur travail à proposer leurs produits à **0 BM$**.

Mais les créateurs qui souhaitent monétiser leurs créations originales restent également libres de le faire en BM$ ou via PayPal.

**Le choix appartient toujours au créateur.**

🌱 Le Marketplace ne fait que commencer.

Si vous êtes créateur, **venez créer votre boutique, publier vos créations et participer à la construction du BloodMoon Marketplace !**

Ever get sick of the sheep, the lies, the cliques, the rumors, the gossip of opensim and other virtual worlds?
I'm making a list. I'm checking it twice. And i'm not gonna tell the world who has been naughty or nice.
I have more class than that. But for certain people out there who would spread evil, lies, and gossip, some of these following songs are dedicated to you. I am sure the liars and the sheeps know who you are and who is in your clique. These are for y'all! Enjoy.

Surfacing by Slipknot

The Bleeding by Five Finger Death Punch

The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson: a nice statement about cliques, judgement of each other, materialism, and more.

years ago yava was my neighbor in SL, she made all those tour buggies that roam the streets there. she showed me how to do region crossings by exceeding the sim boundary. i tried this technique in OS and the server hard-limits llSetPosition/llSetRegionPosition to sim boundary so there's no way to go past with a script. I modied the api in the server code and we can now exceed the boundary. the test is working so now i can try making an auto-transport that moves avs across regions. :) maybe there is another way to do this in OS, lemme know. how do you guys do it? here's a test going to 256.100000 then 1.000 (on the other side)

[01:44] floater: Region: Oakley Beach | Current Position: 250.000000, 250.000000, 40.000000
[01:44] floater: Requesting crossing from Oakley Beach using 250.000000, 256.100000, 40.000000
[01:44] floater: Moving to 250.000000, 1.000000, 40.000000
[01:44] floater: Region: Destiny Intercourse | Current Position: 250.000000, 1.000000, 40.000000
