TO THE MEMBERS OF SACRARIUM GRID

Your grid and users are not welcome here anymore. Your users have been harassing and messaging racist slurs at opensimworld users for years. You have harassed me personally and my family *in real life*. You keep doing it despite warnings and temporary bans

From now on you are permanently banned from listing and advertising anything from your grid in Opensimworld. Your regions are inactive anyway, they will be removed.

Your abusive accounts will be frozen. Do not attempt to create new ones , they will be removed.

Please advertise your grid etc on: Facebook, Twitter, Mewe, Discord, wherever, anywhere but NOT HERE . Enough is enough, you are not welcome here.
OSG is back on line!

It's running on a new database, the migration was successful.

It also resumed the ingestion of assets of the old asset server.

New Release: Arcadia's Weather System

It's been a while heh.

Some weather change gives a lot of life to your sim, either a forest, a beach or a city, rain will infuse extra charm to your daily activities.

With that in mind let me present you my weather system, it's a controller of slave clouds that will emit rain particles, rain sounds and thunder sounds. But that's nothing new right?

My version also features up to two automatic rains per day, you set the time of the day and it will rain at those times for one hour. Nice huh?

Oh? Not enough? what if I told you it will also change your sky settings to overcast and cloudy while it's raining? Yep it does, assuming you have permissions to change the EEEP settings of your parcel it will make it overcast while raining and will return to your normal EEEP setting when stops.

Don't want to get cloudy? no problem! I also include a version that won't change your sky hehe.

Also, it features an access list, so either anyone or just a selected few will be able to operate the system.

Finally, please read the manual, I explain everything in detail, including the setup of the system.

Happy Friday! (yay Friday)

OSG is back on line!

Outage time: ~6 hours.

New Release: Arcadia's Timer.

I made this based on a suggestion (thanks Ernest!).

It's a simple timer that will do what any kitchen timer does, you setup the time (up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) and it will count back to zero, when it reaches zero it will sound an alarm and that's it!

The object itself is a single, very light mesh so you can resize it to either put it in a tennis court or your fridge =D

It can be set to Owner only operation, group or everyone.

Of course the textures are inside for your customization needs.

Happy Tuesday!
Hi everyone!

Heads up 1: We are changing our instant message system, and your messages will now be integrated with it.

In case there are any unread messages of the old instant-chat system, you can find them in this page: https://opensimworld.com/cmtest/


Heads Up 2: The friends system is changing, from followers to friends. People who follow each other will now become friends, otherwise you have to accept their friend requests. Check your friends requests here: https://opensimworld.com/friends

Thank you!

Misty_Falls: Followers are just friends we have not met yet... Thanx OSW. 2 years ago
As you may know OSG is moving their asset infrastructure to a new and more reliable datacenter. To do so it was necessary to copy a massive amount of data from the old servers to the new ones, this process begun months ago and it's almost done.

We're at the last leg now! Now they're transferring old assets and for a month you will notice (or not) that assets (notably notecards and old textures) won't be available in your inventory.

This is a transient thing, do NOT trash those, just wait for a month, they'll be accessible again.

In other words: old assets in your inventory that you haven't open in years won't be available for a month or so.

This will NOT affect whatever is rezzed on your sims.

Did you know?

At my exhibition parcel on OSG's 15th. birthday you can find a beach party theme.

I made several object that are available only on that parcel for now, including:

A log with single and couple poses.
A recliner with single poses.
A battered apple box with single poses.
A cooler with soda cans and beer.
A barrel BBQ that gives burgers, hotdogs, corn on the cob and kabobs.
A simple fireplace.
A couple of beach counters.

The food will animate you and it'll disappear gradually as you consume it.

Every animation, mesh, script, texture and sound was made by myself, in order to celebrate the creativity of the grid I call home.

Data transfer status.

Do you remember a post I made some time ago, about assets missing due a day transfer?

Let me tell you the full story because I got a post that's a bit too angry and a bit too misinformed for my taste.

Originally OSG was mostly on a datacentre on Texas, at first it was good, but it got progressively more and more inadequate for the grid, do you remember two years ago that we had a weekly outage? Or sudden grid downs that used to last 24 hours?

It was time to move the whole grid to new pastures and they did! The total data was transferred to a better datacetre, the transference was brutal though, we're talking about millions upon millions of tiny files, it took months to transfer all that and they managed to do it with the grid running. Of course there was side effects, slowness to rez, extended times to see the textures appear, etc. A small price to pay compared to the alternative: shut down the grid for a couple of months.

Some days ago I was told the current status of the last server move, the one with oldest assets, most notably 1+ year old textures and notecards.

The good news: the transfer is done, it took about a month.
I was told not once, not twice but several times: No data was lost.

"So where are my textures?"

This is the current situation: While the data is already transferred it's the equivalent of moving, we have all the boxes into the new house, now it's time to unbox and arrange our stuff in the empty space.

That last server had about 168 million assets.

The program that the guys wrote specifically to ingest the data into the new server process about 1.6 million assets per day, plus they're verifying the integrity of each bit (thanks to that they had corrected/recover 4854 assets so far), the whole process assuming 1.3 million assets processed and ingested per day will take between 90 to 120 days from today.

I asked if this will cause lag or poor performance: No, this process happens on a separate server, and it's independent of the rest of the grid, so it won't impact performance.

No data has been lost, but many is still in the box, waiting to be put in the proper place.

Is it a bummer? of course it is, all my profile pictures (all of them are 1+ year old) are gone, white. I won't delete them because they will be back.

Finally this process is progressive, it means that as the data gets processed it becomes available, my pic today is white but tomorrow may be back, as it reaches its's turn in the queue.

So don't despair, we're in the final stretch.
New Release: Arcadia's Panda Hoodie.

This took me a while to make, it's a release for girls: a Panda Hoodie.

It comes in two versions: with the hoodie and down.

It comes in three models: Flat chested, regular chest and big breasts.
But it's also fitted mesh so it will vary according to your shape sliders too.

It comes for two kind of avatars: System avatar and Ruth 2 v.4.

While I don't support athena I've seen it wore and it fits too, but I can't guarantee a perfect match.

It includes all the textures for the hoodie and the alpha layer inside each hoodie object.

Enjoy!
New Release: Arcadia's Tiki gazebo.

Phew!
This one was a LONG project that started before my hard drive died.

It features a small and cozy gazebo for your beach setup, it seats four in solo poses or couple poses using SFPoser.

It took me a long while as i made all ~50 poses myself, so each one is unique for you.

It also features a small source of light in the form of candles you can turn on and off in the OPTIONS menu.

Please read the manual for more details.

Happy Tuesday!
New release: Arcadia's Adams-Farwell Series 6.

This project took me two and a half months to finish, I'm proudly presenting to you a cute, rickety car to travel around sims and roads in relaxing rides solo or with friends.

The Adams-Farwell Series 6 was a 1906 car produced by the Adams-Farwell company. It featured a rear mounted rotary engine, very similar to airplane engines of it's time.

There’s still one functioning Series 6 in the world, you can see videos on YouTube of it running.

****************************************************************
Important:

This product will only work in ubODE, OS 9.2+ and either X or Y engine.

****************************************************************

My Series 6 has the following features:

1. Seats four avatars, the front seat will open automatically when a third avatar seats.
2. Each avatar has it's own pose that will change when you turn left or right.
3. Each pose are in fact a set of 3 poses, the car will try to guess you height and fire an appropriate pose for your avatar to make it look as best as possible.
4. A dynamic camera that switches between forward and reverse in all seats.
5. Custom sounds, sampled from the real car.
6. Unique mesh, carefully crafted and shaded to imitate the real car.
7. The engine has two gears, gear one while slow it will make the car able to climb almost any slope like a real car, if your car can’t negotiate a very steep slope just drop your gear to first and you will conquer the hill like a boss.
8. A menu on click that lets you operate the car’s accessories like lights, canopy and the capot, the car will remember the settings even if you recompile the script in mid operation.
9. Awareness of the sim/parcel to reset the dynamic camera for all passengers when you cross them so the driving experience remains un-compromised.
10. Custom stand targets on each sit, so you or any passenger won’t end standing on top of the car.
11. Access list, you can choose to let your car unlocked for everyone to drive or select a list of people that can drive, a white list.

You can get this new car at my main shop or the satellite store at Wright Plaza.

Happy Sunday!

All good things...


One day in 2019 I packed my stuff, got my dog, put it all on my bike and went to spend the summer in another country. That was my routine after all. I took my trusty laptop, an old mac that was barely enough to browse internet and may be log in world for a couple of minutes.

I spent a great month and then corona happened.

Long story short: I got stuck in that country, that's ok though, as long as I have internet I don't have to be in a specific physical place so I could cope, in time I just decided to live permanently here.

Then about a month and a half ago my hard disk of my old laptop isekai'd itself, my main rig is still in another country and suddenly I was data-less. Since this disk was meant to just handle light tasks it never stood a chance against real production work.

That set me back immensely, and that's the reason why I haven't been able to produce any new object in two months, so in the meantime I've been showcasing you the stuff I've made until that point in time.

But, I've a finite amount of stuff to show you! Of course I've more in the shop, did you know I have a cook hat, a drunken bat, a full bathroom set; did you know you can drink coffee at the top of the shop or eat cake at the tower?; did you know every night I mix music but I don't tell anyone?

But, I don't think what I have left is interesting enough so my daily articles ends today, but fret not! The reconstruction of my data is nearly complete so from this point on I'll publish an article when I release a new product because... I can make new products again! Yay me.

So cheers and thank you so much all the people who consistently liked my articles and commented on them, thank you for the visiting and for enjoying the toys I make for this adult playground we enjoy every day.

See you on my next release.

New Release: Sol et Luna, a steampunk watch.

This time I made a simple wrist watch, it obviously shows the time but also the date in an unconventional way.

The wrist band can be either brown or black, it's controlled by a menu that appears on click and it comes for system avatars and ruth v2/4.

You can resize it to make it fit properly on your avatar and as always all the textures are included for your customisation needs.

Don't forget to read the manual.


Happy Saturday!

This took me a little while to make, it's not a new product but the consolidation of the look of the shop and related items.
I re-made the whole shop, with the familiar look it had before but a little bit more steampunkish, modern materials and I got it ready for future technologies like PBR materials.
It features an elevator now instead of the good ol' ramps and while it looks more or less the same size than before it holds a ton more space than before so my perpetual issue with space is over.
The beacon now is inside the shop for whom comes to the sim to choose another destination.
Also I made a new boxand refreshed every single product in the shop.
I'll release a new product soon now that this project that started in 2019 is finally complete.

Happy Sunday!

New Spooky Release: Arcadia's Armless Monster.

Inspired by the game Silent Hill, I made an Armless Monster.

It comes in two versions: NPC and Wearable.

It features custom animations for walking, standing, sitting and sitting on ground.
The wearable version includes an AO with the animations graciously provided by Lotek Ixtar.

The NPC version comes with a simple roaming object and the NPC card for if you want to use it with an NPC manager like the Satyr's ActiveNPCs NPC Controller (https://opensimworld.com/library?view=4).

You can get this monster at my main store or the satellite store at Wright Plaza@ OSG.

Happy Sunday!

P.S.: Of course, both versions vomits black goo from the chest =P

Product Update: Arcadia's Simulator Statistics Indicator

In my permanent quest for relevant information I've noticed that my Statistics Indicator last line, Time Dilation, didn't really show the relevant number, it was stuck on 1.0 (no time dilation) permanently, so I've changed that last line for something more relevant, the physics engine type (ODE, Bullet, ubODE) and the script engine type (X-Engine or Y-Engine).

The upgraded indicator is at the first floor (or second floor for you in the US) of my main shop.

Happy Monday!
New release: Arcadia's Gramophone

I made a very well preserved gramophone for your house, a great decoration that will dress your living space.

But hey, you know me, I can't do a static object, so I also scripted it so when you click on it it winds up and plays "Volver" (super famous Argentina tango) by Carlos Gardel (the most famous tango singer in Argentina and may be the world), sung circa 1935, so it's very much period correct.

Of course I'm including all the textures inside the object to improve the compatibility with HG.

You can find my gramophone at the main shop or the mini shop at Wright Plaza in OSG.

Happy Monday!

Latest release the 2022 Wave Bangle can be found in the foyer of Monentes Jewelry Free/Full Perms continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

New release: Arcadia's French Beret.

This is a mini release, I saw some days ago someone desperate to find french berets without any luck so I made one.

It's a simple, non rigged mesh so you can resize it as you want to fit your avatar properly, it comes in six colours including white so you can tint it to match your outfit.

Also as always the textures are in each beret to improve HG compatibility.

Happy Friday!
New Release: Arcadia's Cargo Pants.

This one is for the guys:

I made a pair of cargo pants, ideal for informal attires.

It comes rigged for the system avatar and Roth, it comes in three variants: long, medium and short and in seven colours including white for if you want to tint it.

Each object contains the textures used for further customization.

You can find this new release at the main store or the satellite store at Wright Plaza.

Happy Friday!

New Release: Arcadia's Zombie.

Because I -had- to make something for this coming Halloween, I decided to make a zombie.

It comes in three flavours:

1. Avatar: You can wear this one, it includes a moan box to randomly moan and groan and an AO (by lickx) with custom animations: a walk, two stands, a sit and a sit on ground.

2. NPC: The notecard with a moaning zombie, it also includes a basic walker but if you want to make it do advanced stuff, I recommend you to use Satyr's ActiveNPCs NPC Controller (https://opensimworld.com/library?view=4).

3. Animesh: Just rez these animated beauties to decorate your sim.

They are all different implementations of my mesh, animations and sounds, I just did the scripting work for you for the different uses. =)

Inside the folder you will find 4 boxes, one for the Avatar, one for the NPC, one for the Animesh and one containing all the textures, animations and sounds for your customization purposes.

Happy Wednesday!
