There are people in every community who give everything and ask for nothing in return. In the OpenSimulator metaverse, Fred Beckhusen — known to thousands by his avatar name Ferd Frederix — is that person. An engineer, programmer, 3D artist, world-builder, and open source advocate, Fred has spent nearly two decades quietly making OpenSim easier, richer, and more welcoming for everyone who enters it. His tools run on grids around the world. His scripts are embedded in regions he will never visit. His generosity has shaped the virtual lives of people he has never met.

Update on Grid Portal Site:

We've now got a splash page: at https://portal.sub-version.space/splash.php
A login page for the portal at https://portal.sub-version.space/login.php
Public profiles at: https://portal.sub-version.space/publicprofile.php

Currently I am the only user with a profile set to public - so if you search for me - you will see what the public profiles look like.

We're still away off from release - we need to do:

* Registrations
* Admin Interface
* Region Management
* Odds and Ends

Background images are randomly selected from /splashimages/
Other images/logos are taken from /theme/themename/

They are easy to replace with your own grid images

Ich habe mal wieder etwas gebastelt.
Im Hafen kann man sich jetzt zusätzlich zu kleinen Schlauchbooten, auch die große Motoryacht mieten.
Die kann man Regionen übergreifend durch das ganze Grid bewegen.
Fünf Leute passen darauf, das Menü ist dasselbe wie in den bekannten Segelbooten.

Aber uffgebasst!
30 Sekunden nach dem Aufstehen löscht sich die Yacht selber.
Sonst würde sich das Grid mit den Yachten füllen.

Der Spenderwürfel ist im Hafen vor der Kaimauer zu finden.

PS. Wem das ganze mit Segeln zu kompliziert ist.
Es geht auch ganz einfach mit dem Motor. Der Kapitän setzt sich, dann geht das Menü auf.
Einfach auf Motor klicken. Mit den Cursortasten lenkt man und gibt Gas.
Nach vorne 0-5 Stufen Schub, nach hinten das Gleiche rückwärts.
Mit rechts und links steuert man, einfacher geht es nicht.

WIth my newewst version of my NONVIEWER uploader called OARConv which is available at https://maze.bz/OARConv.html I uploaded about 100 or so meshes, mroe will be added daily. I recently with the help of Kris Konigsman of HyperCats urgings and pleadings for the meshes to "look right" and not "dark" resolved an issue with flipped normals and LODs. Over the last day or so I REUPLOADED all of the museum again with the fixed uploader. I am most pleased with the result! If you had visited previously, I would reccomend coming again and grabbint the updated mesh, You will notice they do not fizzle when you zoom out now which was the LOD issue. Picture is one of 100 there. Always free never sell. And these will only ever be found in OPENSIM period. They were uploaded with an oar, so no sl for them anyway! ENJOY!

NOT JOKING: The Linda Kellie Season & Tribute is REAL - See text in graphics.

An in-place upgrade to the park is in progress and during this time, security is completely disabled until we activate the Linda Kellie THEME enforcement system. Everyone WILL honor Linda Kellie by wearing an approved costume during their Dismayland visit this season. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We are also going to honor LINDA KELLIE with a DISMAYLAND COSTUME BALL.

💎 Reborn + Waifu – Schönheit mit Rückgrat

Das hier ist kein Look, das ist ein Statement mit Nachhall.
Spitze, Leder, Transparenz – jedes Detail flüstert: „Ich weiß, was ich tue.“

Reborn spielt mit der Eleganz, Waifu mit der Versuchung – und beide tanzen auf der Grenze zwischen Kunst und Attitüde.

Hier wird nicht gefragt, ob man darf. Hier wird entschieden, dass man kann.
Ein Outfit, das keine Bühne braucht, weil es selbst eine ist.
Es ist der Moment, in dem Stil und Selbstbewusstsein sich verschwören – und das Ergebnis trägt High Heels.

Reborn + Waifu: Für alle, die nicht glänzen wollen, sondern leuchten.

I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.

It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions

And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.

The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

She created avatars, clothing, buildings, animations, textures and entire regions.
She gave every last one of them away. No strings. No license fees. No DMCA.
Universities used her work. Hospitals used her work. You used her work.
Anthropic's Claude AI searched the entire public record.

In twenty years, nobody threw her a party.
This demands long overdue gratitude.

We shall honor her with an ENTIRE SEASON since nobody else cares to.

TODAY'S THE DAY! Getting Messy with Meshy!
Tuesday, June 9
10 AM SLT
VWEC Wolf Territories location: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:VWEC

Step into a creator’s playground where your images become objects, your objects become art, and your art becomes something you can actually upload without your viewer crying.

In this session you’ll learn:
- How to choose or create the right image for Meshy
- How to clean and optimize that image for best results
- How to use Meshy’s model library as your personal kitbash buffet
- How to remesh - tips and tricks
- How to export and prep for OpenSim/SL

Whether you’re a builder, a dreamer, or someone who just wants to stop fighting with triangles, you’ll walk away empowered.

PREWORK: Set up an account at https://www.meshy.ai/ . It is recommended to pay for one month of the Pro account so that you have 1000 credits to play with and access to the Meshy Community creations. One month of Meshy Pro is $20.

Ensemble is now complete at release candidate 1.

The LSL and PHP scripts are all available in the script library at https://opensimworld.com/library?view=167 and the full manual is available at https://www.glenysbieler.com/ensemble/ in word, pdf, and web view.

The HUD itself can be made using the LSL scripts - but a copy is also available pre-built in my store at Sub-Version Mall (https://opensimworld.com/hop/93827). I havent yet put a teleport up at the landing point for the Ensemble store (and it is "in progress") but the hud is available to obtain there.

Please feel free to use the provided hosting - or use the PHP scripts in the scripts library to host yourself.

Feel free to report any bugs - but no "support" is guaranteed (but ofc I will always try and help).

OARConv 3.8.9 is now out. I took a hard look at the LOD processing, I had noticed that things seemed to fizzle out when I zoomed out. I was successful in making the LOD processes more like the viewer, so you can now have high LOD if you want by setting it that way. It is good enough that I am redoing all teh meshes in the museum with it...at once :-) https://maze.bz/OARConv.html picture reflect the change..enjoy yourself!

I created a surf shop today at Catena di Isole. I moved the sand writings to here and also the surf pose. I will be adding beach stuff here as I can. The Waves of Courage was the first surf comp in Opensim, so thought that would be a perfect name for my shop. I have been making progress on the surfboard with many edits and fine tuning, I am happy to have gotten this far, I really appeciate the coders now. Swing by say hi anytime!
