Info for all jealous and knowledgeable who claim my grid and 162 sim are slow. (user01) I did a test with an old pentium 4 Intl core 2 quad 3.2GHz, 8GB memory card 6 years out of life no more driver, "1GBite" internet. I'm going to my sim house market 60000 prim hard test. No difference to my PC i7 core 8, 4.3GHz, 32GB memory new Graficcard Gigabite. All work fine and stable fast. :-D
If my grid is slow for you, it may be time to think about the 50MBite internet and your old PC. That could be helpful. ;-)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚙️ HOW TO USE
1 – Get your API Key
API = Application Programming Interface. It lets the weather script fetch live data from a forescast website.
Steps:
Go to: https://openweathermap.org
Sign up or log in (website will prompt you to paid subscription but choose the free one!!)
Open your profile → API keys
Create a key → copy it

2 – Rez the Weather Sculpts (You will find them inside the box "WEATHER SCULPT SET V8A (BOX)".

Rez the weather sculpts across your region - around buildings etc -
I recommend going on infra-red mode (Firestorm) by clicking CONTROL+ALT+T.
Select all sculpts →LINK THEM ALL and insert on the root prim (just select them all) and insert the script called "OpenSIM ONLINE SCULPT V8A (SLAVE)". (*)

(*) THIS SCRIPT AND ALL OTHERS USED ON THIS SYSTEM can be found at the box called "SCRIPTS USED V8A (BOX)".

3- Insert some of the textures included on the "TEXTURES FOR SCULPTS V8A (BOX)" that can be found inside the box "SCRIPTS USED V8A (BOX)"
Textures on the root prim of the linked sculpts MUST be "clear,r1,r2,r3,r4,sr1,sr2,sr3,s1,s2,s3 and s4 to script work perfectly. By default, all pieces of sculpts have already the needed textures so to not worry :)

4 –SET UP THE SYSTEM:
Rez the controller "OpenSIM Online Weather Controller V8A (MASTER) 02 prims" and click it. A dialog menu (blue menu) will prompt:
-> Choose the name of the city (English only - other languages or misspelled, script won`t fetch information). If a city name like Springfield (USA) is selected and there are 5 on that country, script will select a random one - on these cases, type "Springfield,IL,US" (Illinois, United States) so script will fetch information from the correct place. Another option is also select by lat/lon mode (latitude/longitude).
-> Click again, and insert the API KEY generated by the website.
-> Click once more, now insert the interval. and that s it.
It will send information to all soundboxes, sculpts, thunderboxes rezzed if in within same region!
Rez the display board next to the controller "OpenSIM Online Weather Display Board V8A (SLAVE) 11 prims"
-> Click the controller and click the "Update Now" button.
This action updates the info on the display board.

***** Please be patient. All changes on the dialog box, script may take up to 15 seconds to fetch the information!*****************************

5 – Optional: Add Sound & Thunder & Cloud & Nothern Lights:
Plays drizzle, rain, and blizzard sounds when told by the controller..
If no bad weather: plays birds (day) or crickets (night).

In version V8A, there are now two types of SoundBoxes:

OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V8A (SLAVE MAIN);
OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V8A (SLAVE SLAVE).

How to set up:

-Rez as many “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V8A (SLAVE SLAVE)” objects as needed in your region (optional);
- Link them all together;
- Rez only one “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V8A (SLAVE MAIN)”;
- Link all the previously linked SoundBoxes to this one.

Important: For this to work, “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V8A (SLAVE MAIN)” must be the root prim (the last object selected when linking). It is the box that contains the script.

And voilà — you now use one script for all SoundBoxes, and the sound will be emitted from each of them in near-perfect synchronization.

(ps) I recommend rezing them close to buildings or common public areas. DO NOT rez the sounboxes too close to each other. Believe me ,Spam sound will be unpleasant for the visitors and it won`t sound natural to your ears!

SOUNDBOXES NOW HAVE THE NIGHT SOUND (THE CRICKETS) SUPPRESSION!
* The script checks the object’s latitude and the current month!
* Tropics (≤ latitude 30°) → night sounds always play.
* Polar regions (≥ latitude 60°) → night sounds are always blocked.
* Mid-latitudes (latitude 30°–60°) → gradual suppression:

* In winter months (depending on latitude), night sounds are blocked.
* In summer months, "night" sounds play normally.
* The script stops "night" sound if suppression applies; "day","rain", "drizzle" and "snow" sounds always play normally.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> Opensim ONLINE THUNDERBOX V8A (SLAVE):
Plays a thunder sound and flashes lightning when told by the controller.
When rezzed, by default it is invisible, please go to infra-red mode (control alt+t) to see and resize it to your needs.
PS. To test it, please add as a hud (or just add it) the "OPENSIM
Thunder Caller (MASTER) HUD" and click it. Once you see the size and position are ok, this script is no longer necessary.
Be patient. Thunder sound and the lighting will show on a random interval of time from 10 seconds to 05 minutes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> OpenSIM ONLINE CLOUD V8A (SLAVE):
4x4 sized sculpt cloud to rez in your region - It will show when the weather conditions told by the controller when it asks to. Otherwise it will remain invisible.
No setup needed

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> OpenSIM ONLINE Aurora Borealis V8A (SLAVE).
4x4 sized mesh to rez in your region - it will show only at nights (sun position OpenSIM ONLINE EEP ADDON (SLAVE) V8A
This add-on automatically changes the region EEP sky according to the weather conditions received from the OpenSim Online Weather Controller.

1. Rez the object named:
"OpenSIM Online EEP ADDON (SLAVE) V8A 01 prim"
2. Place it anywhere in the region.
3. Ensure the following EEP settings are present inside the prim inventory:
TCLEAR
PCLEAR
PCLOUDY
CLOUDY
FOGGY

4. The script will listen for weather data sent by the Weather Controller and automatically apply the corresponding EEP sky.

PERMISSIONS REQUIRED
The object must be rezzed by the Region Owner or by a user with Estate Manager rights.
Otherwise the script will not have permission to change the region environment.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• This add-on changes only the region EEP sky preset according to the weather condition.
• It does NOT modify the region time offset.
• It does NOT change the day length or sun cycle.
• These parameters remain controlled by the region’s existing environment settings.

OPERATION
Once rezzed and running, the add-on works automatically.
No configuration or user interaction is required.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-OpenSIM LIGHTHOUSE ADDON (SLAVE) V8A — 07 prims

OVERVIEW
--------
The Lighthouse Add-on integrates with the OpenSim Online Weather System. It listens for weather data broadcast by the Weather Controller (Master) and responds automatically:

• When fog or reduced-visibility conditions are detected, the lights turn ON and
a fog horn sounds at regular intervals. (once each 90 seconds)
• When conditions clear, the lights return to their normal automatic day/night cycle.


IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE REZZING
---------------------------------
This add-on comes in TWO separate pieces:

1. The lighthouse building
2. The light beam with reflector

⚠ DO NOT LINK THEM TOGETHER. They must remain as two independent objects.


SETUP
-----
Simply rez both pieces in your region. No additional configuration is required.
The system works SIM-wide regardless of where the objects are placed.


LIGHT MODES
-----------
Click the reflector (owner only) to cycle through the available light modes:

Mode 0 — Lights Always Off
Mode 1 — Lights Always On
Mode 2 — Automatic (day/night cycle) ← default

Note: During active fog conditions, the lights and fog horn sound are always forced ON regardless of the selected mode. When conditions clear, the previous mode resumes automatically.


TESTING
-------
To verify the lighthouse is working correctly, attach the included HUD:

"OPENSIM Lighthouse FOG HORN Caller (MASTER) HUD V8A (add me)"

This HUD allows you to manually trigger the fog horn and confirm the system
is responding as expected.


WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM
---------------------------------------------
The lighthouse activates under the following weather conditions:

Mist · Smoke · Haze · Dust Whirls · Fog
Sand · Dust · Volcanic Ash · Squalls · Tornado


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

📌 Notes

-Keep your API key private — free plan allows ~1,000 calls/day (enough if you set 15-minute intervals).
-Make sure city name is spelled correctly in English.
After changing settings or resetting the script, it may take up to 15 seconds for the menu to reload and fetch the new information to display.
BE PATIENT!

Don’t worry — your settings are saved inside the prim in case of script replacement, script or SIM reset!

FAQ

1 – What does “Master” and “Slave” mean?

Master script = The boss.
Goes online to fetch live weather.
Sends the result (via channel messages) to all connected objects.
Slave script = The worker.
Never goes online (saves lag). Just listens for the Master’s messages and updates textures, sounds, or lights.

📡 Example:
Master says: “Weather code 502 = heavy rain”.
All Slaves hear it → they switch to rain textures and respective sound.

👉 In short:
Master = speaks.
Slave = listens.
Channel = the walkie-talkie frequency they use.
􀀀
2 – Does the script works on a certain distance or on the whole region?
- It works SIM-wide, no matter if your SIM is 1x1 or 12x12 or if any object from this weather system is rezzed 1,000 meters high (*). it will work!
(*) Certain grids limit script activity up to - from 4,000 to 10,000 meters max high - check with your grid owner!

3- Can I rez more than 1 cluster of sculpts on my region?
Yes! Here an example on what I do on my 8x8 SIM called TROMSO: 8x8 VAR with 4 different places, so I put the "OpenSIM ONLINE SCULPT V8A (SLAVE)" on each of the clusters!. no matter how many cluster you have on your region, they ALL call just a single API from website!
SO LOW LAG FOR YOUR REGION!

4- I rezzed the SOUND BOXES but I only hear the birds or just hear the crickets?
- Make sure the sky (EEP) (**) is time zoned. If you play day on your sim (static sky), script reads the sun position on the sky. If sun is =>8 degrees above the horizon ,script will be told its DAY! If < 8 degrees, script will be told its NIGHT!

(**) EEP that come with this weather system are properly time zoned.

5- I rezzed the "OpenSIM Online Cloud V8A (SLAVE)" and I don`t see anything!
- If you have rezzed the controller before, if it fetches info from website and it says it not cloudy", the "OpenSIM Online Cloud V8A (SLAVE)" will remain invisible (100% transparent). - One still can see it on infra red mode (CONTROL+ALT+T)

6- Why all these boxes with the scripts, sounds, textures? Do I need them?
- It just in case one deletes something by accident so one can always recover it. Also, I do it for preventing assets lost -specially if one is from other grid!

7- I rezzed my controller, set all sculpts and sound box. I select city but nothing work. What could it be?
- Make sure city is well written in English. Also, it happens that on 1st time one rezzes the controller, it can act like this. so just reset script!

Last night I disappeared into Samsara again… and honestly, I think that’s exactly why I love creating worlds like this.

What started as “just building a little Japanese garden” slowly turned into something much deeper. Piece by piece the atmosphere came alive: the dark koi pond, the softly glowing lanterns, the curved bridge, the raked sand patterns, cherry blossoms falling onto the paths, and the quiet feeling of hidden peace between the bamboo.

This place wasn’t made from perfection. It was made from feeling.
Moving stones.
Adjusting lights.
Watching reflections in the water.
Following instinct instead of a plan.

People sometimes ask why virtual worlds matter so much to us.
Because places like this become more than pixels. They become memories, emotions, creativity, comfort, stories… little pieces of ourselves.

And tonight, for the first time, I stood still in this garden and felt:
“Yes… this is exactly what I imagined.”

Welcome to my little corner of Samsara 🌸

OK, OK, OK.. with all these AI pics here on Opensim I couldn`t resist lol

**AI vs. Reality: Why You Should Never Trust Your Screen**

Take a look at the image: On the left, AI gives us a chiseled, beach-ready elf version of me with a perfect tan and a margarita. On the right, we see the "Real Life" "me"version: a bald, pizza-loving guy in a stained shirt on a crumbling sofa.
This is exactly what the critics are shouting about! They want you to see this as proof that AI is out to deceive us all. According to them, if you aren't careful, you’ll be catfished by a digital elf when the reality is just a guy, his soda, and a very tired couch.
So, let’s join the panic: watch out, world! If the internet says I'm a muscular ginger elf, I`m probably just a guy with a "Pizza King" box and a dream. Don't let the pixels fool you!
Ok, I get to go now. need rest a little bit on that same sofa lol.

@FerdFrederix suggests "If you were to become a bug, you could do so by wearing an avatar that would allow you to experience the world from a bug's perspective. Imagine visiting a garden where everything is to scale, and you could truly be the bug. You would be able to explore this miniature world, see the intricacies of the plants and flowers, and feel the wind blowing through the grass virtually. You could crawl through tunnels and crevices, and even fly to new heights. Being a bug could give you a whole new appreciation for the world around you and the creatures that inhabit it." three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens We did just that, please visit anytime and become the Bug! thank you @Ferd!

A place between dream and reality, where each step touches luminous waters and every breath lifts the weight of the world. Among glowing crystals and impossible blooms, Limenaria welcomes wandering souls, turning every gathering into a ritual of renewal.

SIM NORGE now is called TROMSO, based on the RL Northern Norway city, bringing back stuffs I had from the time I was still on GCG grid. From this pic: Ishavskatedralen or Tromsdalen Kirke. Pipe organ and piano, scripted, functional. If you want get married there, be my guest.. just dont invite me lolol (kidding)

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.

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

Holi is back… 🌸✨

bloodmoonpack.com:8002:Holi

A timeless place where meditation, relaxation, and sensuality come together once again to welcome you into a soft and soothing atmosphere.

This revival would not have been possible without the generosity and trust of the owners of the Bloodmoon grid, whom we warmly thank for their invaluable support.

The journey continues… and Holi is now waiting for you 💫

Uses of Walls

The Wall of Dolls, an artistic installation in Milan, Italy, is a poignant and sober statement that marks and condemns violence against women. The wall features dolls of various kinds, symbols of childhood innocence, alongside the names of murdered women, as well as photos, posters, and poems, Some of these detail statistics on crimes against women, and some of them powerful statements written by survivors.

In 1998, the United Nations Development Fund for Women organized a photo exhibit that contrasted a "wall of shame", focusing on women's plight and suffering, with a "wall of hope", showcasing initiatives to end violence against women. More information about the Wall of Hope Campaign: https://www.youtube.com/@wallofhopecampaign512

In Second Life, the collaborative arts group, 2Lei organized a yearly event from 2009 to at least 2019 on November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The event may or may not have involved the use of walls. I imagine it did, for art work and the like. More about the event: https://modemworld.me/2019/11/19/no-violence-the-2lei-10th...

If we are going to have a conversation, it could be about this. Not surprisingly, there is "Sexual violence and harassment in the metaverse." https://audri.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/EN-AUDRi-Sexu...

Enough of walls. I prefer a waterfall -- a symbol of strength, resilience, cleansing, or even tranquility. Peace.

N E U ✨ BK Mode hat jetzt Schmuckfieber

BK Mode legt noch eine Schippe Glamour drauf: Ab sofort funkelt es im Shopbereich wie in einer Schatzkammer, die jemand mit Stilgefühl und einem Hauch Frechheit kuratiert hat. Halsketten, Armbänder, Ohrringe, Bauchkettchen, Fußkettchen, Sonnenbrillen und Kopfschmuck – kurz gesagt: alles, was dein Avatar braucht, um nicht einfach nur da zu sein, sondern aufzufallen.

Hier findest du keine langweiligen Standardstücke, sondern kleine Attitüden zum Anziehen. Mal verspielt, mal edel, mal „Ich bin heute die Hauptrolle“. Und das Beste: Die Auswahl ist so groß, dass du garantiert etwas findest, das zu deinem Stil passt – oder zu dem Stil, den du heute ausprobieren willst. Und das schönste dabei, immer wieder kommen neue Stücke dazu.

💎 Warum reinschauen?

Weil dein Avatar mehr verdient als „geht schon“.
Weil Accessoires die schnellste Art sind, ein komplettes Outfit umzudrehen.
Weil ein bisschen Funkeln nie schadet.
Und weil Neugier belohnt wird – versprochen.

🌟 Fazit

BK Mode hat jetzt Schmuck. Viel Schmuck. Schönen Schmuck. Frechen Schmuck.
Geh stöbern – und lass dich überraschen, wer du plötzlich bist, wenn du ein neues Stück anlegst.

Last night, the wonderful and generous (if not mischievous!) Jimmy Olsen spent time teaching me how to make static EEP skies. He doesn't like what I am doing because he wants it to look slightly blurry for more "realism," but mine are not for that. I am thinking about them for doing events at the Playa, even manually changing them out during the events! Or maybe at an art festival! The sky is my canvas! During an art festival, you could share the work of others, changing them out periodically. Thanks for your time and patience, Jimmy! Now the fun begins!

I made a short webpage with a simple tutorial for those that want to play! https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/eep-fun...

p.s Translation: new revamp of the MAGABAGA SPACEPORT: GO to SIM EUROPA, and then take either the magabagaba maglev tram or the TP to EUROPA SPACEPORT.
