Hi folks! Been a while since I posted something. Out now is this semi-circular sofa, named by the public, sitting up to 8 avatar (4 couples) and with tons of animations.
Some of the texture available look better on a 'latex' type of shine.
Remember the furniture store is located: hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques%20NW/768/...

Replacing the old (non-reflective) mirrors in the hairdressing salon with PBR mirrors
* * *
The windlight of BW Castle had to be adapted to the new display with PBR, as it suddenly appeared much too dark. Another PBR inconvenience was the need to retexture the terrain, as all regions in the new viewer were displayed with standard ground textures. Black White Castle with green grass texture doesn't work at all ;)

Austausch der alten (nicht spiegelfähigen) Spiegel im Friseursalon gegen PBR Spiegel
* * *
Das Windlight von BW Castle musste an die neue Darstellung mit PBR angepasst werden, da es plötzlich viel zu dunkel wirkte. Ein weiteres PBR-Ungemach war die Notwendig der Neutexturierung des Terrains, da alle Regionen im neuen Viewer mit Standard-Boden-Texturen angezeigt wurden. Black White Castle mit grüner Grastextur geht gar nicht ;)

Thanks to the AMAZING Firestorm and OPENSIM NGC team (and a bit of work from us!) our whole grid is now running with PBR textures and terrains. IN fact this image doesn't use PBR materials, just the standard texturing. Wow.

Get Help Finding Stuff
---------------------------------
Polar bears are good at helping you find stuff, if you can find one. So, people are using the box more and more to request help. As you know, comments in the box get drowned out by not nice comments. Even the nice comments push the requests down until they disappear. But there is help with that. Just join the What Are You Looking For group. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

• Why: As I mentioned, there is a short time before requests in the box go to oblivion The posts in the group stick around, increasing the chances that you will find help from our over 100 members.
• How to use the group: Post about items you are, well, looking for...outfits, builds, shops, services, skills, and so on. At times, a group member will actually make what you are looking for. How cool is that? (Hint: very cool!)

What happens if you help? First, you become one of the forces for good in the galaxy. OK, in OS and OSW. We need more goodness here, right? And, about every two weeks, I post a list of our recent helpers, a bit of their profile info, and the address of their region(s).

The What Are You Looking For group. It’s what you’ve been looking for!

Hi Everybody

I decided to leave Jungle Friends and build my own GRID.
This is an important and difficult decision. I want to thank you all for the support.
Now I will move forward and make my vision and dreams come true.
I hope to see you all soon.
I will return......but on my GRID
Follow updates about the process in Opensim world.

I'd like to announce that I'm going on vacation from OS for a time. But I've been on a vacation from OS already, for maybe two months now, and I'd have to interrupt my vacation to say that I'm not going on vacation because I'm already on vacation. So, no announcements. Mainly because, at this point, I'm confused about the whole vacation thing. However, while I'm pretty sure I'm on vacation from OS, I still log in to OSW on occasion to check on the What Are You Looking For group. The helpers there have been, and continue to be, incredible! Anyways, if you want to send me a message, I'm likely to see it, and I might just answer.

HOW TO USE THE MAINFRAME.
Download the free program wc3270 for windows. Install it. Set up a connection to cyberdatastorm.com:3270. Your logon ID & PASSWORD will be USER100 & PIZZA OR USER101 & TACOS . You will have access too JCL, COBOL, ASSEMBLY, C++, REXX, and will be able to use the SYSDUMPs. You will be on sysplex1 with full access to 3380, 3390, and 3350 DASD. You will also have access to IBM 3420 TAPE Unit. You can explore what a mainframe operating system is like and how it is different from personal computers. Obviously you will not have access to TOP SECRET or RACF. I often say that anyone can learn PC stuff (personal computers) like Linux, Windows, or Apple OSX by reading just 1 thick 2000 page book. But for the mainframe you need to read about 200-300 of those thick 2000 page books. It is way more complicated. There are 5 mainframe operating systems: IBM Unix called AIX, IBM vm/cms, IBM os/400, Digital Equipment Corp VMS, and the Zos family. This mainframe you are logging into is in the Zos family. It does support full ISPF/TSO and CDC's (cataloged datasets). You will not have access to easytrieve, expediter, endeavour, and CICS.
