I did something constructive in my free time and I hope this will benefit anyone who is interested.

IMAGE-NPC Machine — A streamlined NPC management station for OpenSim 0.9.x. Easily snapshot avatars' appearances into notecards, preview NPCs from your library, cycle animations for posing, and manage all NPCs from one linkset. This replaces our old four-script system with a single root-prim engine using pure OSSL—no permission issues or orphan NPCs. It's owner-only and prevents unauthorized sitting.

Quick Setup: In about 30 seconds, rez four cubes, link them, insert the assembler script, and touch once. It reshapes the linkset into the machine, then self-deletes. Add a few standing animations and the IMAGE-NPC Machine.lsl script to start using it.

Features include a TAKE workflow for inventory delivery, region-wide NPC scanning with KILL ALL for easy cleanup, and a customizable architecture. Designed by Dirty Helga and Spax Orion. CC BY-NC ENJOY!

Reminder:

E Grid is shutting down tonight for almost three weeks (till the 24th).

Lots of backups and maintenance plus we're out of town and not leaving the servers going all that time with no one to oversee them. Have a wonderful Easter everyone!! xxx

The Sunflower Bakery & Cafe has both Ukrainian and Irish Foods. Ireland has taken in over 112,000 Ukrainian refugees since the invasion and war with Russia began. Some of the refugees have gone other places but many have stayed, making Ukrainian people and culture a signifigant part of Irish culture now too. The bakery on Fianna Rua is owned by 2 sisters from the Ukraine. You will find Paska - Ukrainian Easter bread as well as some traditional painted eggs. And the bakery of course also has local Irish treats. Immediately under the gnome cookies you can see on top of the counter are Fifteens.

"Fifteens are a popular, no-bake Northern Irish traybake named for their core ingredients: 15 digestive biscuits, 15 marshmallows, 15 glacé cherries, and sweetened condensed milk. This sweet, sticky, and chewy treat is rolled in coconut, chilled, and sliced. They are easy to prepare, perfect for tea, and often served as a nostalgic treat."

On the right in that same section you can see Irish Cream Horns.

"Irish cream horns are a classic pastry made from flaky puff pastry wrapped around a cone-shaped mold, baked until golden, and filled with whipped cream or pastry cream. They are often dusted with powdered sugar, offering a light, crunchy texture paired with a soft, sweet filling."

This batch doesn't have powdered sugar but I assure you they are still delicious:) And all are free to copy/buy for 0:)

Ulster Fry

"An Ulster fry is a traditional Northern Irish breakfast, often served all day, featuring fried bacon, sausages, eggs, black/white pudding, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Key, defining elements that distinguish it from a full English breakfast are the inclusion of soda bread and potato farls (potato bread) fried until crisp."

There is some debate about the inclusion of baked beans. Traditionalists say no but modern Ulster Fry plates have them and I like them so I included them. There's an attribution notecard in the contents and this beautiful plate can be found in Doyle's Coffee House (it used to be a pub in pervious incarnations of the build but we have a fair few pubs:)

Free to copy/buy for 0.

We also have some lovely scones with clotted cream and black current jam and fresh hot cross buns with whipped butter which some folks enjoy for the Easter week and weekend:)

🌊 A Note from Mermaid’s Cove 🌊

Dear friends,

Due to illness in my family, I’ll be stepping back for a little while. Mermaid’s Cove will remain open for your enjoyment, but The Golden Dreams Ballroom and The Blue Grotto will be closed for events for a few weeks.

I truly hope to be back soon. When I return, DJ Macy, Putrisolo, and I will bring you even more wonderful events to enjoy together and prepare for new live singers and DJs at the cove too!

In the meantime, please make yourselves at home in the cove —
• enjoy the shopping,
• relax on the beaches,
• explore the carnival,
• and take a swim in Mermaid Lagoon.

There is 24/7 music, and the club and ballroom spaces remain open for dancing with someone special.

Thank you for your understanding, your kindness, and for keeping the spirit of Mermaid’s Cove shining.

With love,
Jojo and Harmony

✨ BK Mode – Gianni neu gedacht ✨

Klassisch war gestern langweilig. Heute trägt Gianni Stil mit Haltung – und zwar in vier Varianten, die zeigen, dass „klassisch“ auch richtig Spaß machen kann. Die Outfits spielen souverän mit Kontrasten: mal elegant mit einem Hauch Rebellion, mal urban mit einem Twist, mal edel mit einem Augenzwinkern.

Hier trifft zeitlose Silhouette auf mutige Details, cleane Linien auf selbstbewusste Akzente, und ein bisschen Extravaganz schadet nie – im Gegenteil, sie macht den Look erst richtig Gianni.

BK Mode beweist damit wieder einmal: Man muss nicht laut sein, um aufzufallen. Aber ein bisschen Funkeln, ein bisschen Attitüde und ein bisschen „Ich weiß genau, was ich tue“ schaden absolut nicht.

Kurz gesagt: Gianni bleibt klassisch – aber garantiert nie wieder langweilig.

The Paradise is done

Well, almost done. On the one hand, Vanaheim, with its free islands designed by the tenants, really is a paradise in the “2nd Sanctuary” grid. On the other hand, there’s still plenty of new things to come. And now we’re one step further along.
The first section of the walking trail is complete and ready to welcome visitors. Almost two kilometres of trail lead across seven islands, each with its own character. Every hiker should be able to find their favourite spot. Explore the trail. From east to west or vice versa. On foot, on horseback or by bike. Tired of walking? Then make use of the rest areas or relax on one of the many boats along the way. Or perhaps a longer break in one of the two beach houses? If a house is free, it’s yours for as long as you stay.

In the Welcome Region and at the landing point on the ship from Vanaheim, you’ll find teleporters (hiking map) to the trail’s starting points.
Have a lovely trip.



Das Paradis ist fertig

Nunja, beinahe fertig. Einerseits ist Vanaheim mit seinen von den Mietern gestalteten kostenlosen Inseln wirklich ein Paradis im '2nd Sanctuary' Grid. Andererseits soll noch viel neues entstehen. Und nun sind wir wieder einen Schritt weiter.
Der erste Abschnitt des Wanderwegs ist fertig und erwartet seine Besucher. Fast zwei Kilometer Weg führen über sieben Inseln, die jeweils ihren eigenen Charakter haben. Jeder Wanderer sollte seinen Lieblingsplatz finden können. Erforsche den Weg. Von Ost nach West oder umgekehrt. Zu Fuß, zu Pferd oder mit dem Rad. Müde vom Laufen? Dann nutze die Rastplätze oder erhole dich auf einem der vielen Boote am Wegrand. Oder eine längere Pause in einem der 2 Strandhäuser? Wenn ein Haus frei ist, dann gehört es dir solange du bleibst.

Auf der Welcome Region und dem Landepunkt auf dem Schiff von Vanaheim findest du Teleporter (Wanderkarte) zu den Startpunkten des Wanderweges.
Habt einen schönen Ausflug.

Now open to the public: After Dark.

Calling all travelers with a love for old horror novels and fantasy. Step into the book at the landing point and explore a medieval world, a gothic vampire castle owned by count Dracula himself.. find the attic in the boarding house where Victor Frankenstein created his creature or perhaps the room where Edgar Allen Poe wrote his "The Raven".. or maybe you just want to take a stroll around, enjoy the athmosphere and calming music, cuddle by a campfire in the woods (the wolves don't bite.. much) or explore the Citadel in all its glory.

This could be considered a gothic sim but without the gore. No blood fountains here, just a fantasy of ancient times, smoking fires, and something evil lurking. Experience the romance, the melancholy, the loss that was at the root of so many evil things.. experience After Dark. If you dare..

Roleplayers welcomed, explorers welcomed, child avaters not welcomed - Friends Grid is an adult grid.

There are lots of OpenSim users with top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art machines with a high-end Nvidia gaming graphics card running Windows 11 who complain about Firestorm 7 being terribly slow. In comparison with Firestorm 6 even.

I have hardware that was upper-mid-range in 2018 with AMD graphics running Debian GNU/Linux. I've got nothing to complain about how Firestorm 7 is performing. (Of course, literally nobody here will believe me.)

This either means that I've hit a sweet spot in combining hardware and software. And that the combination of a top-range Intel i9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and Windows 11 is actually objectively slower than the combination of an eight-year-old six-core AMD Ryzen CPU, and AMD Radeon RX 590 and Debian. At least when running Firestorm.

Or this means that everyone else considers a two-digit frame rate a slideshow whereas I've happily capped my frame rate at 30.

What I can comprehend even less is that single-threaded Firestorm 6 is supposed to be faster than multi-threaded Firestorm 7 on a CPU with 12, 16, 24 or more threads.
