if you come to Big City Life you need patience. lol First to load in cache and then to drive with public transportation like bus and train. (but you can drive with taxi or any other car too)
There are already driving 2 blue busses with each 40 min routes. The green bus is only driving close to shops and is in the city. This tour is just 7 min long.
The Maglev Tram brings you also to suburbs and country side. There are two trams. But one tour is 20 min long.
The Santa Fe is the fastest and just needs 15 min for a circuit.
The Sydney City train is slow and needs 23 min for a circuit.
So if you wait at bus stops or at railway stations, then take your time.
It could be that the Santa Fe is not driving. But then it has home at landing point railway station and you can start it by yourself. Just click on locomotive and you get blue menu. First you click "align" and then "start". That's it. (Listen if the Locomotive really says "align" and "starting". Align is important. If it has not said align then click once more align.)
It all depends how long the grid is running without a restart and how many people are on the whole grid. Usually if the grid is running one day all is working fine. But after two days it gets slower and if many people were on the whole grid the more. On Decadence Grid is also the biggest mall in opensim "Grimm". Grimm has usually always traffic. Just the Athena clothes building is 1 km long and you get all there.
But usually one day after restarting grid, all works perfect how it should.
Anyway there is no guarantee that all busses and trains arrive punctually, although I am German. lol Our Deutsche Bundesbahn is not anymore that punctually too. lol

But you can also fly with helicopter or planes. The planes start at airport, of course and fly in altitude about 200 meters. One starts at Hangar and one at Terminal 6. There was another at terminal 4 but this would have been too much. lol Be sure you have a good computer and can use 1024 distance draw. Otherwise you would not have fun.
For the 4 helicopters it is the same. But the blue helicopter is just flying at 60 meters altitude and you can reduce distance draw to enjoy. The helicopters land at different points. Just the emergency heli starts and lands on roof of the Broadway building. Here you can watch a flight with it over central park.

I WANT TO REITERATE SOMETHING.

REGION WILL BE BACK UP LATER TODAY

SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIKE TO LIVE ON THE EDGE INCUDING ME, I LOVE DG. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU LIVE ON THE EDGE AND UPDATE DG WITH BETAS YOU RUN INTO ISSUES. THE GRID HAD LOADING ISSUES ALONG WITH LOADING OAR ONTO THIS REGION.

IT TURNS OUT THE ISSUE WITH GETTING THE REGION BACK WAS A CORRUPTED OAR. I HAVE ROLLED BACK TO A STABLE VERSION AND HOPEFULLY WILL NOW BE ABLE TO DO SYSTEM WIDE BACKUPS AND SHOULD HAVE NO MORE LOADING REGION ISSUES.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK FRED FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK!

REGION IS OFFLINE FOR NOW

If you have land in this region you will have go and reclaim it once its back online. you will have to re build.

I am so sorry this happend, not sure how but an oar got on the region and erased what was there.

And before anyone asks about recent backups, due to issues with dream grid we cant do any current backups until its fixed. once we get things settles, I will do a system wide backup as well as oars.

A PEICE OF ADVICE, DONT LIVE ON THE EDGE LIKE US AND TRY BETAS LOL THEY ARE CALLED BETAS FOR A REASON, STICK WITH THE CURRENT VERSION FRED SAYS IS STABLE.

I put out the avatar clone machine, that we had discussed earlier. It is a concentual "donate your body to the dance machine" script. A person who wishes to donate types "clone-me" in chat. It generates a preview, and the person types "confirm" in chat again to finish donating their appearance. It's at our club on the welcome region. Follow the paw prints. :) There is a vendor box next to it, that will give you a copy of the board for your own use.

Hello all
I would like to explain, why it is better to use animesh instead of NPC. If you just need one or 4 NPCs on your sim then it is not really important to read this. But if you want to have a population on your sim like I have on Big City Life with 400 moving people then it is very relevant.
NPCs take a lot of performance of a sim. It is very resource heavy like the land itself (because of physics) or Avis. Animesh people you can calculate like trees you pant on your sim.
Many still believe you can't do much with animesh. Just put some animation in it to move or dance a bit. But that's not really true. We all know the animesh horses of Roland Francis and what you can do with it. It is similar with all other. Here a video to demonstrate that you can even have sex with it and let them walk around.
https://rumble.com/v5uxybh-demo-for-animesh.html
Usually everyone would use NPC for this. There is one advantage for NPCs, of course, because you can sit them on moving vehicles. But this is the only advantage of NPCs. My Jockeys at the horse race track are also NPCs. There is no easy other way to solve this with animesh Jockeys on the horses.
But for all other things you can easily use animesh people. If you need help for scripting stuff then you just need to ask any AI LLM today. They are already that good that they can script for you in OSSL a script to get all working what you want the animesh do.
For building good looking animesh people it is recommended to use the Ruth or Roth body as root prim and add all other to this body. It has just to be rigged. All stuff you attach to the body has to be rigged. Even if you want to let an Animesh man or woman ride a bicycle then the bike has to be rigged and you put in the matching animation with a route script. Very easy to do. All handmade.
But since newer times you have already really good option to let AI create your animesh. I don't talk about complicated routines you connect your LLM with Blender through Python script or such. There is now very easy solution everyone can do on a website. This is called Meshy AI.
Meshy creates your animesh just by telling him through text. You get first 4 examples as Statue and you choose the best you like. Then you can even give the AI an image to create texture for this figure. But you can let the AI decide what texture is the best. Just give him some hints what it should have. That's all. Then you can let meshy rig the animesh man or woman or monster or animal or whatever you want to have. Meshy knows usually where to rig at arms and legs etc. But for this the statue should be symmetric. You can also rig unsymmetric but then you have to edit a bit by yourself. Usually you get symmetric statue anyway and then every kid can create a rigged statue as animesh. Download this as blender file or any other file and put it in blender to convert it in dae file. Then upload this dae file and you have a new animesh inworld. Just put in the animation script with animation and it moves. We have in opensim now an expert for creating animesh with meshy AI. Ask Prince Amor. He is creating every day tons of new animesh for opensim. And all created with AI. Usually he is showing off his new creation now as Avi on Lbsa. Yes you can also use all this as Avatar too. The complexity is very low compared to usual Avis or NPCs.

With a sad heart and things beyond my control I am being forced to reduce my hosting, Things staying - Graceland, Harmony, Harmony Isle, ALL PAID RENTERS will be staying. Thank you for your time, All Cabins and Adult Sandbox will go into a deep sleep until further notice... Starting this Friday Early Morning, Remove your things!

This is my contribution to the OpenSim Film Festival by @lorudestiny1554.
You get a little insight into the idea behind Fort Sand.
A fictional town in the Wild West in the years 1860 - 1880,
in which ideally everyone gets along peacefully.
What would the world be without dreams?! ;)
I'm open to criticism, praise and/or suggestions.
Feel free to use the comments section or contact me inworld in the Moonrose Grid.
Have fun watching.
Yours, Chris!

The old sofa looks very beautiful when I used PBR material brown leather on it, also I changed the material of the wood and gave the cushions an elegant look with the help of silver fabric material. If anyone needs this sofa, please contact me. Also in my residence there are many more interesting PBR furniture. Сome and see, the photo does not convey this amazing view. My entire residence is 60% PBR

Waiting for the bus at trailer park.
Since I am on OSW Website (2 weeks now) many come to my Big City Life and ask for shops. They stand at landing point with distance draw 256 and think that the promenade of little New Jersey is the big city. They stand there for some minutes and cam around looking for shops perhaps. But little New Jersey is country side of the sim. Not the big city lol
To be clear: The shops are just a bonus, because Cities have shops you can buy things. This sim is more like a game experience like you would explore cities. Lot of traffic, all is moving in a City environment. 25 000 scripts are running and 400 animesh people are the population of the sim.
The landing point is just to start with this city experience and load in cache. So this biiig sim (7x7) is purely built to the limit what opensim as technology is still capable and able to offer. It is a lot. But of course, not what we could have with unreal engine or think of Cyberpunk 2077.
At Landing point you get introduction with maps where you can see and listen what you can explore. Here is the video you see also inworld at landing point directly if you have mediaplayer on.
https://rumble.com/v5rtlun-cheryl-explains-big-city-life.h...
If you want to drive with bus in the city then you have to walk over the rails to the bus stop at trailer park. I had no space anymore for a bus stop at Little New Jersey Promenade (Landing Point)
So be warned. Big City Life is not to be confused with other sims that are called similar but are malls. I have shops in the city and also many exclusive things you get only here in opensim but it is not a mall to go for shopping. Most you can copy anyway and don't need a shop for it. If you see something you want to copy then do it. No need to ask for permission. We are in opensim. Not secondlife. Sharing is caring.
