Xinashi is recovering from an attack on the grid that has resulted in missing assets and textures. You might find this is the case with some of the over 100 outfits at oh HELLO. You can help me fix the problems by reporting on the status of outfits you get at the shop. Each outfit vendor has an "oh HELLO Outfit Status Report" note card. All that is required is DELETING the sentence on the note card that does NOT apply:
* OK (All assets found and all textures present)
* NOT OK (Assets and/or textures missing)
Then drop the report note card into the mailbox next to the oh HELLO shop sign.

The outfits that are OK or have been repaired will have a "Quality Assured" label on the vendor. To get the fixed outfits, join the Xinashi group and I will send them to you. I'm also working on repairing the rest of the region, but my first priority is the shop. Thanks for your help.

A question has to be posed to the community, in regards to illegal activity, preventions and counter measures.

I am the builder of Amoa Nude Beach. Along with my partner Robin, we created a nude beach region that we donated in appreciation to the amazing generosity of the owners of Barefoot-Dreamers grid. A win-win for both, in which my partner and I who have loved nude beaches since our days on secondlife, could enjoy once again. We have permanently left secondlife and no longer have to endure the abuses committed and performed by visitors or owners of those beach sims, some in a pro-active manner. All because we didn't agree with their opinions. But that is another subject altogether and not part of this discussion. We didn't build this beach for massive traffic influx nor profit. We take NO donations, traffic means nothing to us. But exists, for those that wish to enjoy it. Amoa is a place where everyone can enjoy that wishes, without question.

All that is required is 3 BASIC rules to be observed and adhered to. Human, Nude and Adult.

Measures were taken so that this is clearly prevalent BEFORE even arriving. It is shown AS an adult region. The name itself states NUDE. Our very very limited advertising (Since we do not seek waves of avatars and want to keep it comfortable and not overwhelming) states HUMAN. Simple and easy right?

However, recently it has attracted a daily stream of nothing but naked toddlers, naked pre teens, dragons, Japanamation cartoon children, demons, lumberjacks who stand on the landing fully dressed spraying and praying all females on radar and lastly, women dressed in ball room gowns.

I am not one to eject or ban and usually give plenty of warning, in hopes that all will enjoy our creation in whatever way they wish. Our aspirations have been to provide a little of everything for everyone. However, I have held back from providing some amazing custom creations, because of this recent wave of illogical behavior.

The guys dressed as lumberjacks will never stop. Same old excuse, it's to hard to take clothes off, lag, blah blah. Even when I hypergrid, I can still change to a saved outfit within 1 minute, thus proving this is merely an excuse for them to spray and pray every chick with "How are you?", "hru", "U'r Hot, want Fk?" or some other classic pickup lines like "yo" and "Hi Fk?". Because every chick just melts when a guy says those things to them. Which makes me wonder why each of these girls IM me and ask me to save them with a TP.

Which brings me to the question of this article. Is it complete lack of common sense or just a flagrant arrogant disregard of rules or merely laziness (because reading is so hard and takes too much time to read 3 words) for this increased wave of violating visitors?

I have asked some violators, what did we not do to make it clear enough? I was told that I should extend the title of the region name to include all 3 rules, plus add it to the description (even though it already is stated in description). Flagrant arrogant disregard.

Now I know for a fact there already exists pedophilia regions like Golden Sun that is comprised of mostly senior citizens using toddler avatars trying to convince each other that their mic is broken but they are really 12. Why do they feel the need to visit THIS region that clearly states that pedophilia is NOT tolerated? Which indicates a leaning towards flagrant disregard.

Some known pedophiles have already been banned such as a 70 year old man in Alberta Canada that we know his avatars.

But it all brings me back to the original question. Is it Lack of common sense, Complete flagrant arrogant disregard of rules, or just flat out laziness?

I would love to hear the feedback so I can impersonate Spock and say "Fascinating!. I am sure, enquiring minds would like to know.

Upate. This address should work for everyone:
virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Goodmorning, it seems not everyone is able to visit my region Avia at Virtual Worlds Zone Grid. Would you pls let me know? It should be opened to everyone. Alternative is to hop to virtual-worlds.zone:8002 and there choose region Avia. Hope it will be solved soon. http://virtual-worlds.zone:8002:Avia

Well, from time to time you just need a lamp that goes with almost everything. Basic lamps called the "Daily" lamps, they are available in the main shop building. The textures are included so they can be customized and there's also a menu script which includes the option of having them go on and off automatically with the sim day cycle....but, hey, if you want, go ahead, leave the lights on.

A new release today. A very tiny one...it's a little goldfinch. I never made a bird before but I thought the bird bath perhaps needs one and maybe I'll be doing some other bird related things. This guy is in 2 versions, flat feet for the ground and feet to perch on branches and things. He also comes with and without random finch sounds. He's at the main shop by the bird bath of course :)

This is a beautiful Heart Bezel solitaire in Ruby. It is bento rigged so it increased the LOD it is a bit heavy. The mesh was reduced 50% prior to rigging too. For those that demand bento, and to the ones who scream at me for being heavy, I have to say, sorry but had to do it!! You can find it in the Bento rings section in the Foyer.

So many moralists ... OK too many. I don't understand it, please help me. You don't do everything yourself. You copy right and left. From people who give you everything free, copy mod transe. You do the same things on your land/sim. You block it for others. No mod no trans ...... DID YOU ASK YOURSELF AT WHICH RIGHT? ACROSS FROM YOUR PEOPLE? Do you understand the message Yes? Welcome to Opensim! :-)
Go to Google, learn what is Opensim Free spirit!

So viele Moralisten... OK zu viele. Ich verstehe es nicht, hilf mir bitte. Du machst nicht alles selner. Du kopierst rechts und links. Bei Menschen die Dir alles frei geben, copy mod transe. Die selben Sachen stellst Du an sin Land. Du sperrst es für andere. No mod no trans...... HAST DU DICH IRGEND WANN GEFRAGT: MIT WELCHEM RECHT? GEGENÜBER DEINEN MITMENSCHEN? Verstehst Du die Botschaft? Ja? Willkommen in Opensim! :-)

FLEETWOOD BEACH PLATES 1 - Say Good bye to terraforming

One request in advance: Please give me feedback on whether you find the plates useful and whether I should continue developing them. Your feedback helps me with my work. Thank you very much!

FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates: Flexible Terrain for OpenSim – Without Traditional Terraforming

With the FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates, landscapes in OpenSim can be designed much more flexibly than with standard sim terrain alone. Instead of laboriously raising, lowering, and repeatedly adjusting the fixed region terrain, you build your landscape from freely placeable mesh terrain plates.

This makes it possible to create beaches, dunes, forest areas, transition zones, paths, slopes, and entire landscape sections exactly where you need them.

The major advantage: the plates remain objects. You can move, rotate, scale, replace, or completely rearrange them at any time without permanently altering the actual sim terrain.

Seamless Textures Across Multiple Plates

The system automatically aligns textures to the region coordinates. This means the texture does not restart on every individual plate, but continues across neighboring plates.

The size, position, and rotation of each terrain plate are automatically taken into account. If a plate is moved, rotated, or scaled, the texture alignment adjusts accordingly.

The result is a continuous landscape in which the individual terrain plates are much less noticeable as separate objects.

Automatic Tiling

The texture is automatically adjusted to the size of the plate.

One texture tile corresponds to a fixed terrain size within the system. Larger plates automatically receive more repeats, while smaller plates receive fewer.

This means the user does not have to manually adjust texture repeats, offsets, and rotation for every single terrain plate.

Central Texture Control

Clicking on a terrain plate opens the integrated texture menu.

The textures stored in the plate’s inventory are detected automatically and can be selected directly. No complicated naming convention is required.

You can also use your own textures without any problem. The only requirement is that they are seamless, tileable textures.

Simply place new textures into the terrain plate’s inventory. The system detects them automatically and displays them in the texture menu.

When a texture is changed, it is automatically applied to all related terrain plates within the same group.

For example, an entire beach area can be redesigned with a single texture change.

Brightness and Color Are Synchronized Too

Not only the texture itself can be changed together.

The surface color and brightness can also be synchronized within a group. This allows an entire landscape area to be made lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler without having to edit every plate individually.

The alpha value can also be synchronized.

This is especially useful when different terrain materials need to be visually matched to each other.

Terrain Groups

The terrain plates are already assigned to different terrain groups such as Beach, Forest, Dunes, or Rock.

Texture, brightness, and alpha are synchronized only within the corresponding group. A change made to the Beach Plates, for example, does not affect the Forest Plates.

This allows several different landscape areas on the same sim to be designed and adjusted independently.

Advantages Compared to Traditional Sim Terraforming

Traditional terraforming works well for the large basic shapes of a region, but it is considerably more limited when it comes to precise landscape forms.

The FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates offer much more freedom.

The plates can be freely moved, rotated, scaled, copied, deleted, or replaced at any time. This makes it easy to redesign a landscape later without having to rework the actual sim terrain.

Specially shaped mesh plates also make it possible to create terrain forms that are difficult or impossible to achieve with normal terraforming, such as:

gentle dunes,

beach slopes,

embankments,

hills,

depressions,

terrain steps,

shoreline areas,

or transitions into the water.

This is especially useful for beaches. A plate can, for example, begin to slope gently from its center and continue down to water level. This creates a controlled beach transition without having to lower large areas of the sim terrain.

Another advantage is the freedom of height. Mesh terrain does not have to be used only at ground level. Raised landscapes, terraces, sky landscapes, floating islands, or additional terrain levels can also be created.

The terrain plates function as modular landscape building blocks. Different shapes can be combined freely, for example flat plates, hills, dunes, depressions, beach slopes, transition pieces, or edge sections.

And if the landscape needs to be changed later, the entire terrain does not have to be rebuilt. The relevant plates can simply be moved, replaced, or removed.

FLEETWOOD Seamless Terrain Plates - Modular. Seamless. Freely placeable. Group-controlled.

For OpenSim landscapes that can be designed, expanded, and changed flexibly at any time.

You can find the plates in my main store.

I hold your hand.
And as my strength begins to fade,
I reach for the hand that holds us both.

I am honored to share the news that Fred Beckhusen’s “Phaze” collection will be coming to the Weathered Woods Second Life Marketplace store.

Phaze was the Second Life region of Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards, and the creations associated with Phaze represent their creativity, work, and history in Second Life. Full credit for these creations and their legacy belongs to Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards.

Weathered Woods is honored to provide a new home where selected pieces from this remarkable archive can once again be made available to the Second Life community.

This will be a carefully curated collection. Fred will decide which creations from his archives he wishes to release, and those pieces will be added to Weathered Woods over time. Each Marketplace listing will preserve the appropriate creator attribution and acknowledge the history behind the work.

For me, having Fred’s work represented alongside my own creations at Weathered Woods is an extraordinary honor. I look forward to helping preserve this little piece of Second Life history and making Fred and Debbie’s creations available for others to discover and enjoy again.

Please Note! Platform Availability Notice


The Phaze Archive will be curated separately for Second Life and OpenSim. Items, versions, permissions, and availability may differ between platforms.

Each platform will feature content specifically selected and approved for release there. An item available on one platform should not be assumed to be available on the other.

All original creator credits and applicable licensing will be preserved.

A Note About the Phaze Archive

I would like to clarify the purpose of this project.

The Phaze Collection represents archived Second Life creations by Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards. Our goal is preservation—to restore these precious assets, keep them from being lost to time, and allow selected creations to be enjoyed again in the environment for which they were originally created.

These are not simply files that can automatically be moved to OpenSim. Some contain Second Life-specific scripts and functionality that would need to be rewritten or adapted for OpenSim before they could work properly.

We are also not using Second Life Marketplace primarily as a money-making venture. It is the Second Life distribution portal available to us, making it a practical way to preserve and provide access to selected pieces from the archive.

OpenSim is separate. Fred has generously provided creations to the OpenSim community through Outworldz for well over a decade, and new resources continue to be added there. We do not distribute through Kitely Market. We distribute here:
https://outworldz.com/

Many of our OpenSim friends also maintain homes and avatars in Second Life. Those are the people this announcement was intended to reach. We are part of communities that overlap; enjoying one virtual world does not require us to stop enjoying another.

Most importantly, this project is about preservation, respect for the original creators, and ensuring that an important collection of virtual-world creativity survives to be enjoyed again. ❤️

Jackie — Wings of Remembrance 🦅

Today I created a piece that means more to me than jewelry.

The passing of Jackie, the beloved Big Bear bald eagle, touched my heart deeply. Watching her life, her devotion to her nest, and seeing her young finally take flight made her story one I will never forget.

In her memory, I created Wings of Remembrance, a silver eagle choker with her wings spread wide—symbolizing strength, freedom, love, and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.

Some creations begin as an idea. Others begin in the heart. This was one of those.

Jackie — may your spirit forever soar above the mountains you called home. 🦅🤍

Made with love in OpenSim.
