I'd Like a Shooting Gallery Game for Rocket Club Events.
It would be so much fun to have a circus side-show style arcade shooting gallery at Rocket Club events. The targets would be evil aliens, UFOs, and such.

(A dance event - with guns. What could go wrong?)

The game should be casual, simple, and, if possible, funny as heck. And hopefully, easy to make. If it (or something like it) exists, let me know. If it needs to be made, I need, at minimum, someone to script the game. If you can offer other help, like art design, sound effects, and making or finding laser-guns, let me know. Make a comment and/or shoot me a message. I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

After much thought, I have a rough layout on the new area. Some regions may move slightly, but this is the plan. The new grid’s name is friends-grid

I have decided I wanted to give the 4 of you a special present…..but I really do not want to fight or argue.

This is the amount of land I am getting whether you accept your gift or not.

The next thing I want to mention is I believe and support creativity……but sometimes creativity is limited by the size of your canvas. Imagine being able to put up mountains that are 1-2 sims big…..or a lake that is 4 sims! Imagine being able to drive in high gear! These things are stupid impossible unless you have a decent size canvas.

Well, December and Christmas was pretty rough with all that happened with Hidden Dreams. You four stayed with me and have been active and involved. For that, I thank you!

Because of this, I am sending your Christmas a little early. You each will have a 4x4 to build, create, experiment, bulldoze and start over! I have put tentative names and themes on the map.

Before anyone says “omg, I cannot ever work with that much”, I want you to pause…..and realize what you could do:

F1 tracks for me to beat Pin’s ass

A fantasy area involving mountains and lakes without space issues

Mad max driving like a bat out of hell over the outback

Maybe a sci fi landscape

The bottom line…..you all have some serious canvas to be creative. Realize also that you may want water around or on your region, that can take up space. Use graph paper and plan it out.

Now, I also want to point out something. We are not on a time schedule….. we are not trying to have this done by May 1. In my opinion, this is probably 12 months, some areas earlier, some later. You may want to plan for two months, and you might build on day 1. I don’t care.

If anyone is worried about me not having space, I have about 82 sims to work on…..that should keep me busy for a few days.

Also, I do own 5-10 raw terrain files (islands). If interested, ask and I can show you some examples and you can decide if it would help.

I want to support creativity!

I hope this gift will be accepted in the spirit in which it is being given…..the spirit of friendship!

Buy It For Nothing
There is a "Buy Nothing" app which people use to list free items -- kind of like here in OS. However, on Buy Nothing you can get, for example, guinea pig poop (13 gallons!), a landline phone shaped like a shoe, and a terrifyingly realistic animatronic chimpanzee head, which loudly grunts and bellows. And which has sensors so its eyes follow you as you move.

As far as I know, none of that is found in OS. However, we do have this lovely outfit that will have AV's eyes following you... The AVs may also grunt and bellow!

oh HELLO: We don't monkey around!

To Laika and all the four-legged astronauts who have flown in Space

"The more time passes, the more I regret what happened. We shouldn't have done it... we didn't even learn enough from this mission to justify the loss of the animal."
Oleg Gazenko, one of the leading scientists in the space animal programme, and Laika's trainer, commented.

Laika was only two years old and before she was collected for the space programme she had known nothing but the cold of the Moscow streets. Before the launch, Yazdovsky wanted to give her a little happiness and took her home to play with his children: "I wanted to do something good for her, as she had very little time left to live.

Vladimir Yazdovsky made the final selection of dogs and designated their roles. Laika was to be the "flying dog" - a sacrifice to science on a one-way mission into space. Albina, who had already flown twice in a high-altitude test rocket, was designated as Laika's backup. The third dog, Mushka, was a "control dog" - she would stay on the ground and was used to test instrumentation and life support.

Laika was placed in the satellite capsule on 31 October 1957 - three days before the start of the mission. At that time of year, temperatures at the launch site were extremely low, so a hose connected to a heater was used to keep the container warm. Two assistants were in charge of keeping a constant watch over Laika before the start of the mission. Just before take-off on 3 November 1957, Laika's coat was cleaned with an ethanol solution, and those areas where the dog would wear sensors to monitor her bodily functions were painted with iodine.

One of the technicians who prepared the capsule before the final liftoff stated that "after Laika was placed in the container and before the hatch was closed, we kissed her nose and wished her bon voyage, knowing that she would not survive the flight."

Laika died hours after launch from overheating, which was probably caused by a failure of the R-7 central sustainer, part of the spacecraft's thermal system, to separate from the payload. The true cause and time of her death was not revealed until 2002; instead, it was widely reported that she had died on the sixth day,4 ran out of oxygen, or as the Soviet government initially claimed, was euthanised before oxygen depletion. The experiment demonstrated that it is possible for a living passenger to survive being put into orbit and endure microgravity, paving the way for human spaceflight and providing scientists with some of the first data on how living organisms react to spaceflight environments. Following Laika, the USSR sent eight more dogs into space, six of which returned alive to Earth.

Sputnik 2 was not designed to be retrievable, and it was always intended that Laika would die. The mission sparked a worldwide debate about the mistreatment of and experiments on animals to advance science. In the UK, the National Canine Defence League (NCDL, now the Dog Foundation) called for dog owners to observe a minute's silence in Laika's honour. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) received protests even before Radio Moscow had finished announcing the launch. Several animal rights groups protested outside Soviet embassies, others demonstrated outside the United Nations in New York, but some American scientists offered support to their Soviet colleagues, at least before Laika's death was announced.

----------------------

A Laika y a todos los astronautas de 4 patas que llegaron al Espacio

«Cuanto más tiempo pasa, más lamento lo sucedido. No debimos haberlo hecho... ni siquiera aprendimos lo suficiente de esta misión como para justificar la pérdida del animal.»
Comentó Oleg Gazenko, uno de los principales científicos del programa de animales en el espacio, y entrenador de Laika

Laika tenía solo dos años y antes de ser recogida para el programa espacial no había conocido más que el frío de las calles moscovitas. Antes del lanzamiento, Yazdovsky quiso obsequiarla con un poco de felicidad y se la llevó a su casa para que jugara con sus hijos: “Quería hacer algo bueno por ella, ya que le quedaba muy poco tiempo de vida”.

Vladimir Yazdovsky hizo la selección final de perros y designó sus roles. Laika iba a ser la «perra voladora» —un sacrificio a la ciencia en una misión de ida al espacio. Albina, que ya había volado dos veces en un cohete de prueba a gran altura, se designó como reserva de Laika. El tercer perro, Mushka, era un «perro de control» -se quedaría en tierra y era usada para probar la instrumentación y el soporte vital.

Laika fue colocada en la cápsula del satélite el 31 de octubre de 1957 —tres días antes del inicio de la misión. En esa época del año, las temperaturas en el sitio de lanzamiento eran extremadamente bajas, por lo que se usó una manguera conectada a un calentador para mantener caliente el contenedor. Dos asistentes estaban encargados de vigilar constantemente a Laika antes del comienzo de la misión. Justo antes del despegue, el 3 de noviembre de 1957, se limpió el pelaje de Laika con una solución de etanol, y le pintaron con yodo aquellas áreas donde la perra llevaría sensores para vigilar sus funciones corporales.

Uno de los técnicos que preparó la cápsula antes del despegue final declaró que «después de la colocación de Laika en el contenedor y antes de cerrar la escotilla, le besamos la nariz y le deseamos buen viaje, sabiendo que no iba a sobrevivir al vuelo.»

Laika murió horas después del lanzamiento por sobrecalentamiento,​ que probablemente fue ocasionado por un fallo del sustentador de la central R-7, que forma parte del sistema térmico de la nave, al separarse de la carga útil.​ La verdadera causa y tiempo de su muerte no fue revelada sino hasta 2002; en cambio, fue ampliamente informado que había muerto al sexto día,​ se quedó sin oxígeno, o como el gobierno soviético alegó inicialmente, fue sometida a eutanasia antes del agotamiento del oxígeno. El experimento demostró que es posible que un pasajero vivo sobreviva al ser puesto en órbita y soportar la microgravedad, allanando el camino para los vuelos espaciales humanos y proporcionando a los científicos algunos de los primeros datos sobre cómo los organismos vivos reaccionan a los entornos de los vuelos espaciales. Tras Laika, la URSS envió ocho perros más al espacio, de los cuales seis regresaron con vida a la Tierra


El Sputnik 2 no fue diseñado para ser recuperable, y siempre se tuvo la intención de que Laika muriera. La misión desencadenó un debate mundial sobre el maltrato y los experimentos con animales para avanzar en la ciencia. En el Reino Unido, la Liga Nacional de Defensa Canina (NCDL, actualmente Fundación para los Perros) pidió que los dueños de perros guardaran un minuto de silencio en honor a Laika. La Real Sociedad para la Prevención de la Crueldad contra los Animales (RSPCA) recibió protestas incluso antes de que Radio Moscú hubiera terminado de anunciar el lanzamiento. Varios grupos protectores de los derechos animales protestaron frente a embajadas soviéticas. Otros se manifestaron frente a las Naciones Unidas en Nueva York;​ sin embargo, algunos científicos estadounidenses ofrecieron apoyo a sus colegas soviéticos, por lo menos antes de que se anunciara la muerte de Laika.

If you have not upgraded to DREAMGRID 5.28 - May I suggest you do? It has many bug fixes, and I have noticed that a LOT OF THINGS seem to work a lot better with 5.28 than with any other version previous. This is amazing! Be sure to thank super-genius Fred for his amazing and awesome work. :)

some of you may have noticed that suddenly the rides that were not jerky suddenly are. Well the newest upgraded in opensim is causing that issues. so until creator can look at it and fix it they will still look like that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

OpenSimUser: Yes thats why i havent updated to the newest just yet. It is possible for you to rollback to a previous version, but Fred would have to tell you how to do that. That is if you are running Dreamgrid. 2 years ago
Sometimes people spy on you.
They use a simple script like this one and put it in any object.
key gkyOwner;

default
{
state_entry()
{
gkyOwner = llGetOwner();
listenHandle = llListen(0, "", "", "");
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
llInstantMessage(gkyOwner,name + ": " +message);
}
}
This script then reports back to them everything you say in local chat - EVEN ON ANOTHER GRID. How can you find these hidden bugs? They could be inside that vase of roses, or even in your wedding band ! Well now you can. The Xray Spy Device will let you see scripted items all around you. It's up to you to God mode them, and read the script inside to see if it's a spy script. Ask yourself a simple question. Does that rock my friend gave me really need a script?

What is OpenSimWorld?
According to their own statement;

"OpenSimWorld is a directory of 3D worlds that use the open source OpenSimulator software and are connected to each other via the hypergrid functionality. OpenSimWorld is not a Grid, and we don't host or rent regions, we only provide an easy way to discover amazing virtual worlds and to advertise your own region."

So, tell us please, what good does it do to go to a place looking for places to go and all we run into the most is bickering, backbiting, pointing fingers, accusations and such?

As it is stated "we only provide an easy way to discover amazing virtual worlds and to advertise your own region."

THIS is why people come to OSW, not for all the drama.

I constantly get complaints about people who come here and all they seem to see is the drama instead of what they are really looking for. That alone makes it something to consider, and it may be time to clean up the house a bit as opposed to using drama as a means to get people to come and say something.

If you stop feeding trolls, they stop coming to look for something to feed on.
It's kinda like when you see a bear enter your back yard, do you feed it? NO, because if you do, it knows to keep coming back because it found food there, and that is a very dangerous thing.
