Best of Bad Event Ideas: #1001
The Best At Tough-Guy Talk

Listen up, Mr. Smell-fungi and Ms. Mun-dungi. We’re having a “Best At Tough-Guy Talk” event, and we need more losers like you to attend. You know, the kind of person who shoots someone in a dream and wakes up to apologize. Someone who is as scary as a ruthless spelling bee contender. People who think they are a main character but are only an extra their own movie. You know the kind. Bald coot, bananaquit, leech-eating, plain-wandering stinkbirds. So come on, Mr. and Ms. Niny-Hammer of Noodles. Join all the other barbers, tailors, panders and procurers, parasites, and lick-spittles for an evening of real tough talk. Or are you just a facetious pettifogger?

Why is The Best At Tough-Guy Talk a bad event idea? Some people will take the insults seriously, like they do with OSW posts.

OtherLife Fashion: Be Different, Be You.

Thank you to Dorena for creating this original banner! I have taken it and made a banner for my profile. ANTIFA is NOT an organization. It is an ideology. The ideology of anti-fascism. I will be using this as a base. And I will ensure that the art festival supports my political message. Because ART is POLITICAL. It always has been. It always will be.

Erwarte treibende House-Sounds, fette Remixe und pure Eskalation!
Gute Musik. Gute Leute. Unvergessliche Stimmung.
Komm vorbei und feier mit uns bis der Abend glüht!

MAZE VIEWER MAJOR UPDATE KDU 8.0
I am extremely pleased and excited to announce that I have obtained a license (and yes for those of you that may know this, I confirmed it today for sharing with the community--which is YOU , as an amateur) for KDU. For those that don't know what that means...it is well-- some of you said firestorm still looks a bit better than my work..well it is because of OpenJpg having to be used in opensim. The story is extremely long, it falls like star wars..long ago in a galaxy far away..I don't mind chatting with you about it, though, so say hello if you want to. KDU is the texture library firestorm uses. I wrote them and got the license for 150 dollars! I also added a zoom to whatever object is selected for editing. While it is selected just choose ALT+Z or in Controls in prefs choose your own. In Blender (.) zooms to selected so I duplicated the idea. https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip

Coffee Fixings - free to copy/buy for 0 in the Harris Hardware Store with the other coffee items. What can I say? I'm a details junkie:)

In the contents you can get all the separates too so you can arrange them in other ways. And the bowl is from Sketchfab and credited in the description.

Let me reiterate for everyone: If I belonged to a radical terrorist wing of the autonomous movement, would I be posting here? They keep to themselves and would kick my ass if I posted so openly. Besides, they also have the hacking capabilities to track down fascists online. Okay, I'm somewhat skilled at that last part, but what good would it do me? I abhor violence, and what I can't achieve verbally here wouldn't change anything if I were face to face. My language is sometimes very harsh and comes across as violent, which is also due to my despair at how brutalized and right-wing society has become, not just in Germany, but worldwide. And when I then see such incredibly stupid comments on my posts, it doesn't exactly reassure me. And yes, I am Antifa in the truest sense of the word. Anti-fascism. To those confused minds who think left is the new right, all I can say is, the earth is flat. *lol* The fact that I was even kicked out of an art event on a well-known German network yesterday because of who I am doesn't bother me. I already have a more lucrative offer that promises significantly more reach. Have a good life, everyone.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Nochmals für alle Leute: Würde ich einem radikalen terroristischen Flügel der Autonomen angehören, würde ich hier posten? Die halten sich im Verborgenen und würden mir den Arsch versohlen, wenn ich hier so offen poste. Zudem verfügen die auch über Hackermöglichkeiten Faschisten im Netz ausfindig zu machen. Gut letzteres beherrsche ich ein wenig, aber was hätte ich denn davon?? Ich verabscheue Gewalt und was ich verbal hier nicht erreiche, das würde auch nichts beim Gegenüberstehen ändern. Meine Wortwahl ist mitunter sehr barsch und kommt gewalttätig rüber, was auch an der Verzweiflung liegt, wie verroht und rechtsorientiert die Gesellschaft geworden ist, nicht nur in Deutschland, nein weltweit. Und wenn ich dann noch so unsagbar dumme Kommentare zu meinen Beiträgen sehe, beruhigt mich das auch nicht wirklich. Und ja, ich bin AntiFa im eigentlichen Sinne des Wortes. Gegen-Faschismus. Zu den verwirrten Geistern die meinen, Links ist das neue rechts, kann ich, nur sagen, und die Erde ist eine Scheibe.*lol Das weil ich bin, wie ich bin, gestern sogar als Teilnehmerin bei einem Kunstevent eines bekannteren deutschen Grids herausgeflogen bin, stört mich nicht weiter. Ich habe bereits ein Angebot, welches lukrativer ist und bedeutend mehr Reichweite verspricht. Habt alle ein schönes Leben.

Hello everyone,

✅ The grid maintenance is now complete.

🔧 There are just a few small things to take care of on your side:

📡 Region owners who use an OpenSimWorld beacon are kindly asked to put their region keys back inside.

💻 Self-hosted sim owners are kindly asked to update to the new version on their side.
⚠️ Please remember to back up your files before carrying out the update.

📥 Download available here:
https://bloodmoonpack.com/files/

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

✅ La maintenance de la grille est maintenant terminée.

🔧 Il reste simplement quelques petites actions à effectuer de votre côté :

📡 Les propriétaires de régions utilisant un beacon OpenSimWorld sont invités à remettre leurs clés de région à l’intérieur.

💻 Les propriétaires de sims auto-hébergées sont priés, s’il vous plaît, d’effectuer la mise à jour vers la nouvelle version de leur côté.
⚠️ Pensez également à sauvegarder vos fichiers avant de procéder à la mise à jour.

✨ BK‑Shopping präsentiert: Die neuen Abendkleider – Einfach. Elegant. Unvergesslich.

Manchmal braucht es kein Funkeln, um zu strahlen.
Unsere neuen schlichten Abendkleider beweisen, dass wahre Eleganz im Detail liegt: im perfekten Schnitt, im edlen Stoff, in der Art, wie ein Kleid deine Persönlichkeit hervorhebt – nicht überdeckt.

Ein reduziertes Design wirkt souverän, geschmackssicher und modern. Es zeigt Selbstbewusstsein ohne Lautstärke – und genau das macht Eindruck. Wer dich sieht, sieht Klasse. Wer dich wahrnimmt, spürt Präsenz.

Ein schlichtes Abendkleid sendet eine klare Botschaft:
„Ich weiß, wer ich bin.“
Es wirkt edel, hochwertig und geheimnisvoll – ein Look, der fasziniert, ohne sich aufzudrängen.

Ob Gala, Tanzabend oder elegantes Dinner – unsere neuen Modelle lassen sich vielseitig stylen und passen sich deinem Charakter an. Mit Accessoires kannst du den Look dezent halten oder glamourös aufwerten.

It's World Puffin Day and Fianna Rua has some kick ass Puffins. There are free to copy/buy for 0 birds on the South West side of the lighthouse on the rocks. There are some others that are simply to be admired:)

There is a wooden Puffin statue in the Old Bridge Inn up on the shelf that's also available. And these fun Punk Puffin tshirts in the clothing shop at the corner of Merchant and Mermaid's Lane. The Puffin graphic on the shirt comes Pixel Labs on Pixabay. The shirts are for Classic Avatars but textures are included for BOM users.

Puffins are charasmatic birds; sometimes nicknamed the clowns of the sea. While globally they're not classified as endangered they are vulnerable to extinction they suffer declining populations due to climate change and food shortages related to overfishing. It should be noted that European Puffins are listed as endangered. Pollution, oil spills, hunting and invasive predators are all factors in this.

Love Puffins today:)

Thats right another UPDATE 3.6 fixed up a weird bug where some LIDAR type meshes with more than one texture was being assigned only one texture. I fixed that right up. I say someone break this thing uploading 30 things at a time is really blowing my mind....
I JUST RELEASED ANOTHER UPDATE...I added the ability in vs 3.5 to inject the material AND Blinn Phong Textures into the glb being uploaded. I also cleared up a bug that was causing a crash after one loads around 30 items in one upload. I believe it may be infinite. PROVE ME WRONG! When one uploades the glb it comes textured, you drag the glb from contents into your inventory so that it hits the database proper! Looking for more bugs. Let me know if you find them enjoy! Items will be on display HERE though construction is underway : hop://maze.bz:7002/Mesh%20Museum/128/128/28
This program will allow you to upload any mesh, rigged mesh, or not up to around 1 gigs about 20 files or so at once using an oar file! It auto chunks large meshes automatically. The items in the picture were over 2 million verts. It makes a sane physics map for you also . So despite the high verts, well the physics load is a lot lower than what you get with the viewer. It also will let you list all your oar contents in a text file...and well import it into blender with all the textures and placement just like in world!!! :-) Below is the help menu. and below that the download link.

FILE
Open OAR File: open a packaged .oar archive.
Open OAR Folder: open an extracted OAR working folder.
Convert Data: export the loaded OAR using the format from Tools > Output Format. It reads the existing OAR object XML and companion assets, then writes converted output files to disk.
Convert Data does not create a new LLMesh object or save a replacement object XML. The XML already exists in the loaded OAR and is used as export input.

FILE MENU COMPATIBILITY
The converter is only supported for OARs produced by the actual simulator. Repacked or reverse-injected OARs created by this program are not backward-compatible with the converter and may fail if reopened through File > Open OAR File or File > Open OAR Folder and then converted again.

IMPORT
Step One: create blank.oar and prepare an extracted working folder for injection.
Inject Mesh: add one .dae, .gltf, or .glb model into an extracted OAR. Set location, scale, physics, rigging, and LODs here.
Pack Oar: repack the extracted folder into a final .oar archive.

TOOLS
Objects List: browse objects in the loaded OAR and export selected objects through the normal OAR export pipeline.
Objects List > Export: export one or more selected OAR objects into an output folder. Depending on format, the app may write the main file under Solids or Phantoms and may also create companion folders such as Textures, MTL, or BIN.
Objects List > Export does not create a standalone mesh inventory object. It converts from the object's existing OAR XML and asset data.
Output Format: choose DAE, OBJ, GLTF, GLB, FBX, or STL for export.
Settings: set ranges, shifts, terrain options, and folder prefixes.

INJECT MESH DIALOG FIELDS
Source model: the .dae, .gltf, or .glb file to insert.
Location X/Y/Z: the final placement of the inserted object in the target OAR region.
Current dimensions: read-only size of the source model after analysis.
Scale: uniform size multiplier. 1.0 keeps original size.
Physics: choose how collision data is generated. File mode uses a separate physics model.
Rigged: treat the source as a rigged or avatar-style model.
Include Joint Positions: keep joint position data when rigged import needs it.
Strip Joint Data: remove rigging data and force a static-style result.
LOD High/Medium/Low/Lowest: control each generated LOD level.
Mode: choose how each LOD is derived.
Target Tris: desired triangle count for that LOD when the selected mode uses a target.
Vertices: read-only estimate of vertex count for each generated LOD.

WORKFLOW: OAR TO BLENDER USING GLB
1. Open Tools > Output Format and select GLB.
2. Open the source OAR with File > Open OAR File or Open OAR Folder.
3. Run File > Convert Data.
4. Import the generated .glb files into Blender with File > Import > glTF 2.0.

WORKFLOW: BUILD A REPACKED OAR WITH MULTIPLE MODELS
1. Run Import > Step One once to create a blank working OAR.
2. Run Import > Inject Mesh once for each model you want to add.
3. Source files can be .glb, .gltf, or .dae. Rigged avatar-style models can use the Rigged and joint options.
4. Repeat Inject Mesh until all assets are placed.
5. Run Import > Pack Oar to write the final repacked archive.
PLEASE DO ENJOY!!!!ONLY IN OPENSIM!Feel free to report bugs and or other worthy insights. I have written the original makers of it but not gotten any replies so I do no tknow if they are around or not. It is legal opensource though. THe list of contributors is there. If anyone knows them tell them to say hello...

Corazón del Mar is calling… and she doesn’t whisper—she dances.

Inspired by the soul of Havana and my Cuban friends, I created a vibrant little escape where life slows down just enough to enjoy it. This is your oasis—color, rhythm, and warmth wrapped into one unforgettable place.

Dance in the streets.
Watch the fire dancer light up the night.
Wander through the pottery shop and silversmith’s corner.
Indulge in chocolates.
Take a swing at a piñata… because why not?

This isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling.
Come explore, unwind, and let the Cuban vibe move you.

Corazón del Mar — where the spirit of Havana comes alive.
three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Corazon del Mar

Thank you @FerdFrederix for the magic you bring, I love it here :)

We built these worlds to escape the real one. Every direction of the political compass is equally avoidable. Think of the family gathering where everyone gets along beautifully, because everyone silently agreed not to go there today.

This is my not today.
Build something instead.

I just found a JUICY FAT BED-BUG on this site. When someone Blocks you, posting on the blocker's events is STILL Allowed! The person who posted the event will probably not see your comment, EVERYONE ELSE WILL!

So, if you blocked someone for 'calling out your non-compliance with the rules in the OSW FAQ', justice can and probably WILL come to you in your individual event listings. Mark ALL of your regions as GROUP (or RESTRICTED) if your host (zetaworlds) is kicking foreigners offline over privacy concerns, it is that SIMPLE.

This is one bug I hope Opensimworld NEVER fixes!
