Yesterday Amsterdam Bingvy , owner of Zweet ZurroundingZ, helped me with his wonderful dolphins. You can rezz one leader dolphin, then chose how many others will swim in the group. What you will see is a wonderful group of dolphins , swimming with natural moves and jumping out of the water every now and then. Want to get them too ? Visit the Zweet ZurroundingZ shop and look for the animesh animals, both for ubODE and Bulletsim. Thank you Peter :)

Feel free to buy any, but know the green check mark means everything has been fixed.

Want to bring an animated GIF into your OpenSim world?

Gif2SL by Gonta Maltz is a small, free Windows utility that converts an animated GIF into a sequential PNG texture sheet that can be animated on a prim.

You can use Gif2SL to create swimming fish, crawling ants, animated signs, and other moving effects. Once you understand how it works, there are a lot of fun possibilities for bringing extra life and movement into a region.

How to use Gif2SL:

Download Gif2SL here:
https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/gif/Create-Gif-in-S...
Open the program and click Load GIF.
Select the animated GIF you want to convert.
If your GIF has a transparent background, check Transparency so the alpha channel is preserved.
Click Output.
Gif2SL converts the animation into a single PNG sprite sheet containing the animation frames.
The output filename includes the horizontal frames, vertical frames, and frames-per-second information needed for the animation.
Upload the finished PNG texture to your grid.
Place the texture into a prim along with the free animation script available from Outworldz.
The script calculates the frames and speed and plays your animation inworld.

That’s it!

Think beyond signs and screens. You can experiment with animals, insects, water effects, magical effects, moving decorations, animated displays, and whatever else you can dream up.

I’ve made swimming fish, crawling ants, flies, and animated signs with it. What will you create?

Gif2SL is free and available for Windows.

Mabon is the Equinox Celebration...

for the next party i have prepared a set with a wild mix of music...

everybody will get a piece of the cake, i promise!
The cake is real, I mean i made it in real life... and want to share the recipe for low sugar cake...

on my very first region Cozy Comforts World i had created a big hill for that kind of party... is an open air place with lots of animals... i will update it for the party on thursday...

(I wonder if thursday is really better than sunday what i used to have for events for many years... in opensim are 5 events at the same time, often spontaneously, anyway it is not possible to really plan anything and is like roulette on any evening of the week...)

Dakotah Sunflower: The club has absolutely nothing to do with nudity. They're all super prudish. And it's usually empty—it just doesn't add up. There's no concept; just playing music and acting cool isn't enough

🔧 Destination Guide — v1.1.2 Patch 🔧

Quick but important fix this round — if you've got any destinations with a space in the region name (like "Axiom Shipyard" or "Barefoot Lands"), this one's for you.

🐛 What was broken:
Saving a SLURL was silently stripping the URL-encoded space (%20), turning a working teleport link into a broken one — even though it looked correct when you typed/pasted it in. Clicking VISIT would launch the viewer but fail with "No regions found with that name."

✅ What's fixed:
SLURLs now save exactly as entered, encoding and all. Teleports to multi-word region names work correctly again.

⚠️ If you're upgrading: any existing destination with a space in its region name needs a quick re-save (open it in the admin, hit Update) to pick up the fix — no need to delete and recreate anything.

Small patch, big difference if you were hitting this one. 🧭
