Test results are in: Firestorm 7.2.4 does take quite a dip in graphics performance in comparison to 7.2.3.

You may want to skip it and wait for 7.2.5 or dare to try the 7.2.5 nightlies if you want or need some of Firestorm 7.2.4's improvements.

In OpenSimulator, some region creators are choosing PBR materials—and the results are impressive! ✨ PBR makes textures truly come alive: it accurately conveys reflections, roughness, and light refraction. Stone appears cold and rough, metal smooth and shiny, wood warm and textured. Landscapes, buildings, and details—everything looks more three-dimensional and realistic. Even clothing takes on new, beautiful properties. This isn't just a graphics upgrade, it's a new level of immersion: every corner of the region, every object, makes you want to look at it again and again. Explore the worlds of OpenSimulator—they're especially beautiful now! 😍

Hello friends and lovely customers...

Yes, I'm still around! I'm giving you a little Sunday Gift.

Clothing releases are still only available on our Discord channel.

I wish you all a relaxing Sunday, and hope its not too hot.♥

new version of the Maze viewer available at https://maze.bz/mazebzviewer.zip version MazebzOS_AVX2-8-0-0-261780520 is an improvement of LOD rendering....I went about making sure that things don't crack up any more and well found a change that is relevant. Much better. Has things like a vehicle camera locker...terrain select all...terrain box mover... redone texture picker and many more. ENJOY!

Klarstellung:
da sich hier eine Person hier ständig darüber wundert, das ich neulich einen Thread bezüglich einer Facebookgruppe aus der ich gelöscht wurde, hier wieder gelöscht habe, hatte lediglich den Grund, dass ich keine Lust hatte auf einen Shitstorm hier, den ja hier gegen mich so gewisse dumme Gestalten gegen mich in Gang setzen. Ich dachte zuerst nicht darüber nach, aber als mir das schnell klar wurde, entfernte ich ihn wieder.
Diesen jetzt aber unmittelbar mit meinem Beitrag bezüglich Anachrons Krankenhausaufenthalt in Verbindung zu bringen, verrät doch so einiges über die Intelligenz dieser Person.
Ein anderer Schwachsinniger, den ich hier blockierte, beschimpfte mich sogar mit einem anderen Account hier per IM. Da ich seinen IQ aber eher unterdurchschnittlich einschätze, fand ich das eher belustigend. Alle anderen in meinen Augen erbärmlichen Hatern hier, die ihre kruden und verachtenswerten Statements hier ablassen: https://opensimworld.com/post/132126#cmt93658. , sei gesagt, ich verachte euch zutiefst, damit stehe ich nicht alleine, aber nicht jeder möchte dort kommentieren, was ich durchaus verstehe. Sie regen sich über diesen Post auf: https://opensimworld.com/post/132084#cmt93659
lasst euch an dieser Stelle gesagt sagen, das Anachron sich sehr über die positiven Bekundungen dort gefreut hat und ihn das auch etwas aufbaute. Schlimm das ihn das hier einige Mitglieder nicht zu gönnen scheinen. Einfach nur erbärmlich! Nur als Hinweis, sollten diese Hasstiraden hier im Beitrag weitergehen, werde ich sie umgehend entfernen!!

Clarification:
Since someone here keeps wondering why I recently deleted a thread about a Facebook group I was removed from, the only reason was that I didn't want a shitstorm here, which certain idiots seem to be starting against me. I didn't think much of it at first, but when it quickly became clear, I removed it.

To now directly link it to my post about Anachron's hospitalization says a lot about this person's intelligence.

Another moron I blocked even insulted me via private message from another account. Since I consider his IQ rather below average, I found it amusing. All the other, in my opinion, pathetic haters here who spout their crude and contemptible statements: https://opensimworld.com/post/132126#cmt93658. Let me say this: I despise you all deeply, and I'm not alone in that, but not everyone wants to comment there, which I completely understand. They're getting upset about this post: https://opensimworld.com/post/132084#cmt93659
Let me tell you that Anachron was very pleased with the positive comments there, and it cheered him up a bit. It's awful that some members here seem to begrudge him that. Simply pathetic!! Just a heads-up: if these hateful rants continue in this thread, I will remove them immediately!!

Hope you enjoy.

Drei Looks, die nicht fragen, ob sie dürfen.

Sommer, aber mit Zunge raus und Seitenhieb. Die eine spielt mit dem Licht, die andere mit der Schwerkraft, und die Dritte?
Die hat beschlossen, dass Regeln heute frei haben.

BK Reborn + Waifu: Für alle, die lieber provozieren als posieren.

One improbable evening, the crew of the Heart of Gold emerged from the Infinite Improbability Drive and found themselves at the most extraordinary destination in existence—Gallumbits, the legendary restaurant, lounge, and ballroom at the End of the Universe, home of the incomparable Eccentrica Gallumbits.

Tonight, that story begins again.

We invite you to step through the doors of Gallumbits and experience a destination inspired by Douglas Adams' unforgettable universe. Wander through its galleries and museum, explore the library and curiosity shop, try your luck in the casino, discover the avatar boutique, relax in the theater, or simply enjoy fine dining and dancing while music from across the galaxy fills the air.

Gallumbits is the imagination of Ferd Frederix—inventor, creator, and the one who brings the magic to life. His remarkable vision transformed an impossible idea into a place that can truly be explored.

Eccentrica Gallumbits is role-played by Marianna Monentes, who proudly joins Ferd as co-creator in bringing this legendary destination to life for visitors from across the metaverse.

Whether you come to dine, dance, explore, or simply smile, you'll discover that every doorway leads to another adventure.

Grand Opening of Gallumbits
"When the final star fades, the music continues."

Don't Panic... and welcome to the End of the Universe.

I have added a modified Auto Return script.

The original behavior could be inconvenient when using vehicles for exploration. For example, if you traveled by boat, car, or another vehicle and then exited it at your destination, the vehicle would immediately auto-return, leaving you stranded. The alternative was for region owners to disable auto-return entirely, which isn't always desirable.

This modified script changes that behavior. The vehicle will now only auto-return if the driver leaves the region. This allows you to park your vehicle while you enjoy an adventure, picnic, sightseeing, or any other activity, and still have it available for your return trip. Once you leave the region, the vehicle will automatically return itself, keeping the area organized without interrupting your outing.

Update: I’ve also added a water bobbing script for the boat. The bobbing effect is active when the boat is stationary, and it automatically suspends while underway so you can sail smoothly. Once the boat comes to a stop, the bobbing resumes, allowing it to float naturally on the water until movement begins again.

A lively little creation just for you to celebrate the 250th Birthday of America, or really just for any celebration that would have fireworks. This cute little table lamp is made to look like fireworks, and it really has light, and it is scripted with bling to give it that sparkly fireworks effect. You can find it at "Lavia's Place" in the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

The Tartar Manifesto

We explain:
The history of humankind is not a straight line.
It is a web of ascents, collapses, oblivion, and rediscovery.
Anyone who claims that progress inevitably leads from a primitive past to perfect modernity is telling a comforting story – but not the whole truth.

We distrust standardized truth.

When history is condensed into a single official narrative in school textbooks, an illusion of certainty arises. But every generation rewrites history. Every power structure decides which voices are heard and which are silenced.

We therefore maintain that
history does not belong to institutions.
It belongs to human memory, to art, to people's stories.

We defend creativity as a fundamental form of human freedom.

Many people have been convinced that they are "not creative."
This is one of the most successful cultural deceptions of modern times.

Creativity is not a rare talent.
It is a natural state of the human mind.

A person who designs, questions, doubts, invents – eludes complete control.

That's why creativity is political.

We are questioning the concept of value.

In a world where numbers determine value, it is forgotten that
the value of a thought, a poem, or a picture cannot be calculated.

A work of art can be priceless – or appear worthless – depending on who is looking at it.
This shows that value is not an objective measure. It is a matter of agreement.

We warn against the new architecture of control.

When every movement, every purchase, every decision is transformed into data, a society of total observation emerges.

Discounts in exchange for data.
Convenience in exchange for privacy.
Security in exchange for freedom.

The new power structure is not visible like a palace or an army.
It consists of networks, algorithms, and information flows.

We remind you that freedom also requires anonymity.

We advocate for human standards.

Communities should be small enough that people know each other.
Small enough that responsibility remains visible.

A society is healthy when citizens can influence its decisions – not just every few years by marking a ballot, but through active participation.

We call this vision "Tartar".

Not as a historical claim about a lost civilization,
but as a symbol for another possibility of human organization.

A world with more creativity,
more decentralization,
more trust in people's ability to shape their own lives.

This manifesto is not the end of a discussion.

It is an invitation to think differently.
