Another example of how it looks like when one can paint your own texture on SIM ground.Mountains on background are part of the sim, terraformed. the one at bottom, mesh. You don`t even see the difference anymore.
Using Wolfviewer (*) that can be downloaded at: https://wolf-grid.com/index.php

(*) Viewer works on other grids - not all features are available if playing outside WT though as they are server-coded.

There is something wonderful about seeing Corazon del Mar come alive with visitors—people wandering the streets, exploring the shops, discovering little corners, and simply enjoying the atmosphere.

A region is built with prims, mesh, textures, and countless hours of work, but people are what give it life.

To everyone who has stopped by Corazon del Mar, whether you stayed for a few minutes or spent an evening exploring, thank you for being part of our world.

We hope you found something that made you smile, something worth remembering, and perhaps a reason to wander our streets again. 💗

Hi everyone.

I wanted to introducing OpenSim-Aura, a fork of OpenSim optimized for Hypergrid visitors & mini-grids.

I've been working on a custom distribution of OpenSim and wanted to share it with the community.

If you run a standalone region, a mini-grid, or a region where the majority of your traffic comes from Hypergrid visitors, or if you spend most of your own time HG traveling, this project might be of interest to you.

Compiled Binaries (Releases): https://github.com/amandaleeang/OpenSim-Aura/releases

Source Code: https://github.com/amandaleeang/OpenSim-Aura

Feedback and contributions are very welcome!

Discover Fleetwood Beach by Monorail

The monorail is still used rather rarely by visitors to the sim. Apparently, many people simply do not yet know that there is such a relaxing and comfortable way to explore Fleetwood Beach.

And that is exactly what the monorail is perfect for: during the ride, you can simply sit back, look around, and discover many details that are easy to miss when walking or teleporting from place to place.

Fleetwood Beach has been created with great attention to detail. Along the route, there are many buildings, places, technical constructions, landscaped areas, and small scenes to discover. The combination of steampunk elements, unusual architecture, and the different areas of the sim looks especially interesting from the elevated perspective of the monorail.

To make the monorail easier to find and use, I have now marked the stops much more clearly.

The monorail stops at every marked station and remains there for about 10 seconds. During this time, visitors can simply click on the seat cushion of a free seat and sit down.

After that, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.

A complete journey takes a little over five minutes. That gives you plenty of time to experience the sim at a relaxed pace, get a good overview, and perhaps discover places that you may want to explore more closely on foot afterwards.

So if you visit Fleetwood Beach, take a few minutes and enjoy a ride on the monorail.

Take a seat, relax, and discover Fleetwood Beach from a different perspective.

# 🌍 BloodMoon Translator HUB — Now Available!

## 🇬🇧 English

👋 **Hello everyone!**

Until now, we have been using Translator HUBs based on an unofficial Google translation service.

Recently, Google started blocking translation requests coming from some of our server IP addresses when the service detected too many automated requests. This is especially noticeable during busy events, such as our parties at **Event Beach**, where many conversations and several languages can generate a very large number of translations.

When this happens, all Translator HUBs running from regions hosted behind the same public IP can temporarily stop working.

🔧 **To solve this problem, BloodMoon has created its own version of the Translator HUB.**

The new **BloodMoon Translator HUB** no longer communicates directly with Google. Translation requests now go through the secure BloodMoon infrastructure and use **Microsoft Azure Translator** as the translation engine.

✨ **What changes for users?**

Nothing! 😊

The Translator HUB works exactly as before:

🌐 Rez the HUB in your region
🖱️ Users click it and select their language
💬 Everyone continues chatting normally in local chat
🔄 Messages are automatically translated into the selected languages

The main difference is behind the scenes: we now use an official translation service with a much larger allowance of **2,000,000 translated characters per month**.

🔐 **Where can it be used?**

By default, the BloodMoon Translator HUB can only access the translation service from **servers authorized by BloodMoon**.

All regions hosted on BloodMoon servers are already authorized and can use the HUB immediately.

If you would like to use the Translator HUB on a region hosted on **another server**, please contact **Vlad Helsing**. The server's public IP address will need to be added to the BloodMoon Translator API whitelist before the HUB can operate.

🛒 **How to get it**

The **BloodMoon Translator HUB is available for 0 BM$** on the BloodMoon Marketplace.

Simply log in to the Marketplace using your BloodMoon credentials, get the product for **0 BM$**, and it will be automatically delivered directly to your inventory.

🌙 **BloodMoon — connecting people, whatever language they speak.**

## 🇫🇷 Français

👋 **Bonjour à tous !**

Jusqu'à présent, nous utilisions des Translator HUB reposant sur un service de traduction Google non officiel.

Récemment, Google a commencé à bloquer les requêtes de traduction provenant de certaines adresses IP de nos serveurs lorsque le nombre de requêtes automatisées devient trop important. Le problème est particulièrement visible lors des soirées très actives, notamment à **Event Beach**, où les nombreuses conversations et les différentes langues génèrent énormément de traductions.

Lorsque cela arrive, tous les Translator HUB situés sur des régions hébergées derrière la même adresse IP publique peuvent temporairement devenir inutilisables.

🔧 **Pour résoudre ce problème, BloodMoon a créé sa propre version du Translator HUB.**

Le nouveau **BloodMoon Translator HUB** ne communique plus directement avec Google. Les demandes de traduction passent désormais par l'infrastructure sécurisée BloodMoon et utilisent **Microsoft Azure Translator** comme moteur de traduction.

✨ **Qu'est-ce qui change pour les utilisateurs ?**

Rien ! 😊

Le Translator HUB fonctionne exactement comme auparavant :

🌐 Posez le HUB dans votre région
🖱️ Les utilisateurs cliquent dessus et sélectionnent leur langue
💬 Chacun continue à discuter normalement dans le chat local
🔄 Les messages sont automatiquement traduits dans les langues sélectionnées

La principale différence se trouve derrière le système : nous utilisons maintenant un service de traduction officiel disposant d'une capacité beaucoup plus importante de **2 000 000 de caractères traduits par mois**.

🔐 **Où peut-il être utilisé ?**

Par défaut, le BloodMoon Translator HUB ne peut accéder au service de traduction que depuis les **serveurs autorisés par BloodMoon**.

Toutes les régions hébergées sur les serveurs BloodMoon sont déjà autorisées et peuvent donc utiliser le HUB immédiatement.

Si vous souhaitez utiliser le Translator HUB sur une région hébergée sur **un autre serveur**, merci de vous rapprocher de **Vlad Helsing**. L'adresse IP publique du serveur devra être ajoutée à la whitelist de l'API BloodMoon Translator avant que le HUB puisse fonctionner.

🛒 **Comment se le procurer ?**

Le **BloodMoon Translator HUB est disponible pour 0 BM$** sur le BloodMoon Marketplace.

Il vous suffit de vous connecter au Marketplace avec vos identifiants BloodMoon, de l'obtenir pour **0 BM$**, et il sera automatiquement livré directement dans votre inventaire.

# Established RP & Creative Group Looking for a New OpenSim Home

We are a german, established and creative RP group currently exploring options for a new long-term home within the OpenSim community.

Our project has grown into much more than a single RP region. Over time, we have developed our own themed worlds, roleplay areas, shops, architecture and a wide range of original content. This includes an extensive Arabian-inspired RP shop, as well as additional shops and themed areas.

Our worlds are open to visitors and can be explored. Interested Grid owners are very welcome to visit and get a personal impression of our project, architecture, themed environments and RP atmosphere. We believe that seeing what we have created for yourself is much more meaningful than simply describing it.

## What we are looking for

We are looking for a **stable, reliably maintained and technically future-oriented Grid** where our project can continue to develop over the long term.

Some of the things that are particularly important to us are:

* A current and actively maintained OpenSim version
* **PBR support**
* A reliable and functioning money/transaction system
* Support for 0 T$ transactions
* Reliable backups and secure server infrastructure
* An accessible Grid owner or reliable support team
* A stable environment suitable for long-term RP
* Sufficient freedom to develop and manage our own themed worlds
* Ideally, the possibility of transferring our existing regions and original content

### Our current technical situation

One of the reasons we are currently exploring our options is the technical situation in our present Grid.

During the past several months, we have experienced recurring server-related problems. At the same time, some important updates are now missing, including updates required for features we need for the further development of our project – particularly **PBR**.

Our shops are also affected.

The shops use the standard OpenSim transaction system. Although the items offered are free, their delivery is technically handled through a **0 T$ transaction**. These transactions are currently no longer working reliably because of the existing technical problems.

Based on what we currently understand, this appears to be very likely related to a server update that has been outstanding for quite some time.

For us, this situation has demonstrated how important a **properly maintained and technically up-to-date Grid infrastructure** is for the long-term development of an RP project.

## What we bring

We are **not simply looking for land**.

We bring an established RP community, our own themed worlds, shops, original architecture and a considerable amount of creative content.

Our worlds can be made publicly accessible and are therefore not intended exclusively for our own group. Visitors can explore our themed areas, experience our architecture and discover our shops and other content.

We see this not simply as finding a place for our group, but as an opportunity to bring **additional content and unique themed environments** to an existing Grid.

Our goal would be a **long-term partnership** from which both sides can benefit.

## Why we are not looking to create our own Grid

Some people might reasonably ask why, given our need for land, we do not simply rent a server and create our own Grid.

For us, this is a conscious decision.

From our own experience in Second Life, we have seen how easily RP communities can become fragmented when more and more people create their own separate worlds.

A single region can be beautifully designed. But if everyone creates their own RP world and then waits for other people to come and visit, there is a risk that many interesting places will ultimately exist without developing an active community around them.

For us, RP is not primarily about owning land.

**RP lives through people, interaction, stories and a living community.**

We would therefore rather contribute our own worlds, shops, creative content and RP activities to an existing community than create yet another isolated Grid.

We believe that **cooperation can be more valuable than separation**.

Our ideal future would be to find a Grid where our existing project can become part of a larger, active community – while at the same time bringing something unique and valuable to that community ourselves.

**We are not looking for a place simply to put our buildings.**

**We are looking for a place where our worlds can become part of something alive.** 🌍✨

## Why are we looking?

Our current Grid has served us very well in the past, and we have always had a positive and respectful relationship with its owner. We therefore want to make it clear that this is **not intended as public criticism of anyone**.

However, the technical problems have now reached a point where they are affecting our project and its further development. Communication with the Grid administration has also become increasingly difficult.

We therefore need to consider how we can ensure the long-term future of our project.

**No final decision about leaving our current Grid has been made at this point.**

We would first like to explore the possibilities within the OpenSim community and speak with potentially suitable Grid owners and administrators.

If you are a Grid owner or administrator and believe that our project could be a good fit for your Grid, we would be very happy to hear from you.

Interested Grid owners are warmly invited to visit our existing themed worlds and see our work for themselves.

We are open to discussing region size, location, costs, migration of existing content and different forms of long-term cooperation.

**We are looking for a place where both sides can contribute, create and grow together.**

Thank you to the OpenSim community – we look forward to discovering what possibilities the future may bring. Greetings from Nojan and the Noozaara RP Team.🌊✨
