📝 Gentle Fire Grid, A Portal to Hell?

On December 16th, I visited Gentle Fire Grid and decided never to return again.

This is a replica of Metacomet's war club from the late 1600's. It is currently on display at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard Massachusetts. Each wampum inlay along the top commemorates an invader personally dispatched by Metacomet during the King Phillip War 1675-1678

LeonitasLionheart: that is cool and detailed, but do tell us, dear Hyacinth, how many look at ya curves and wish they could "wampum"? *teases* hugs & happy holidays to you and yours! 18 hours ago

**Dali Babe MAITREYA (ATHENA) Body Skin Megapack Now!**
Hi everyone, last on the line of Megapacks: Maitreya 5.3 (Athena) version of the body skins.
Same 3 styles and ALL addons - this one does come in 'only' 15 of the 22 tones, though.
As with LaraX one, it does not include any shape, so you can just use your default body one.

Coucher de soleil sur le cimetière/ Sunset cimetary

The excitement of turning a dream into reality. It begins as a spark of imagination, a vivid mental picture of a breathtaking world—perhaps a misty mountain range, an alien landscape, or a bustling medieval city. This dream is like the first stroke of inspiration for an artist.

When you start building, the blank OpenSim region becomes your canvas, a digital palette where each prim, texture, and script is a brushstroke. The process is exhilarating as you shape the terrain, paint the sky with colors and clouds, and breathe life into your vision. You sculpt cliffs, plant forests, and carve rivers, adding details that make your world not just beautiful but immersive.

What makes OpenSim even more thrilling is its ability to provide massive land sizes without the prohibitive costs of other virtual platforms like Second Life. The expansive landscapes give creators room to explore their wildest ideas, unburdened by financial constraints. This freedom fuels creativity, allowing for sprawling builds that are limited only by the creator’s imagination.

There's also a sense of discovery as the imagined meets the possible. You experiment with elements—adjusting lighting for a perfect sunset, scripting interactive elements, or adding soundscapes that make the environment hum with life. The joy of creation is heightened when the imagined dream surpasses your expectations and becomes a place where others can explore, share, and marvel.

Building in OpenSim is not just crafting pixels; it’s the act of creation in its purest form—a thrilling dance between imagination and realization, where the limits are only bound by the extent of your dreams.

This is an excellent place to start:

Fred Beckhusen/Ferd Frederix: Very nice, Marianna, and really accurate. 11 days ago
Hi folks, I have received a few questions today regarding the body skins I shared (i.e. do they work for EvoX, why no face, etc.)
There's a README inside the pack with some details but a few more details:

1. Body skins generally use the .skin type of item and they only contain Upper and Lower.
1.1. The textures are mapped to the body (especially in places like toes, butts, etc. - hence why those would look weird if used in another body).
2. Face skins generally use the .tattoo type, precisely so that you can 'bake/add' it ON TOP of the .skin of the body (of which [.skin] you cand only wear one).
2.2 The face textures are mapped to the head (Evo, EvoX or others).

In this sense, they are NOT connected (you could wear Legacy and....Catwa as head!), and seldom if ever do body skin come with a face skin (Have NEVER seen that, imagine they come with a Catwa head and you use EvoX, or come with Evo and you use a EvoX head!).

The can be 'related' as far as the skin tone goes (i.e. some body skin creators have a set of tones to which face skins creators try to adhere).
Either way, that's what the neck-fix included (only for EvoX, though) are for. If you can't 100% match the tone, add the fix or the face blender.

The .shape file is also important if you want the default shape. However, you can only wear ONE .shape.
If you 'add' it, it will replace the one you got with your face (and mess the shape).
So, in SL (or even here, if properly here), if you were to start a new avi you would get:

1. The shape [.shape] and eyebrows [.hair] that come with the head. Let's say EON EvoX = You can almost ditch these ones unless you are going with the 'demo'/free face skin that comes with the head.
2. The shape [.shape] that comes with legacy body = You can also almost ditch this one, unless you are going with the 'demo'/free body skin of the body.
3. The shape [.shape] and eyebrows [.hair] that come with the face skin. Let's say EROS (for EON EvoX) = These ones you keep, and will probably the ones you use.
4. The shape [.shape] that comes with the body skin. Let's say Jupiter Muscled TAN tone. = This you want to keep, but just for the values.

1 and 2 don't really have much 'value', they are: 'shape-you-can-use-if-you-dont-add-any-skins-from-creators'. EVEN if you wanted to stick to those, you would need to transfer the body shape values to the shape that come with the head.
ALWAYS combine them.
Why? Because the values (numbers) in the shape of the head are specific values that the face/head skin creator has added so that it looks like in the piiiicz.
Now, legacy creator couldn't possible know those...so if you rely on their shape of the head values...well...it will look BAD.
Body-values-on-head-shape is also because there are less amount of cells/numbers pertaining to body.

NOW, if you got yourself (hopefully) an additional face skin (eg. EROS) and body skin (eg. Jupiter Muscled TAN), you want to merge and use those two.
Why? Because the values relative to the head in EROS will make it look like in the pic, and the values relative to the body in Jupiter, will make it look like in the pic.

So:
- You add the shape of Jupiter just to take the number values on Body+Torso+Leg tabs.
- You switch into the EROS shape, and replace Body, Torso, and Legs with those values.

Result: Your face will look like in the skin pic you bought, and so will your body.

RECAP: .skin for body skins + .tattoo for face skins. Leverage neckblends. Ditch default body/head shapes. Use skin shape as basis, add body skin shape values.

❤️Everything for you.❤️

FAIRE SA PROPRE RÉGION AUTONOME POUR SE BALADER EN HYPERGRID
(avec un minimum de manipulations !!! )

1 - Il faut télécharger opensim-0.9.3.0.zip sur http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page

2 - opensim 0.9.3.0 demande .NET version 8 ! à télécharger ici :
https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?framework=Microsoft.N...

3 - Pour être en mode "Grille" simple (Standalone sans ROBUST) avec HyperGrid, dans le fichier OpenSim.ini tout à la fin vers la ligne 1356 il faut avoir ça :
; Include-Architecture = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-Architecture = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
; Include-Architecture = "config-include/Grid.ini"
; Include-Architecture = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
Commenter la ligne 1356 et décommenter la suivante (commenter = mettre le point-virgule ';' au début de la ligne, décommenter = l'enlever)

4 - Dans bin/config-include il faut renommer GridCommon.ini.example en GridCommon.ini

5 - Toujours dans bin/config-include dans StandaloneCommon.ini décommenter la ligne 50 pour avoir :
GatekeeperURI = "${Const|BaseURL}:${Const|PublicPort}"
*

(Ce qui fait 3 changements dans les lignes des .ini !)

Enfin en étant dans le dossier opensim/bin, lancer le serveur OpenSim.exe !
Bien valider l'alertes du pare feu pour opensim.exe, sinon il faudra aller le faire manuellement dans les paramètres.
Des lignes vont défiler puis normalement ça doit poser des questions (nom de la grille, de la région, du user ...)

Pour la connexion :
- Dans le NAT de la box il faut ouvrir les ports 9000 et 9001 tcp et udp (dans le doute on ouvre tcp ET udp)
- Ajouter localhost:9000 dans la config opensim de Firestorm !

BINGO ! on peut se connecter avec le user défini plus haut et partir dans l'HyperGrid !!
Et s'envoyer des objets et même en faire des sauvegardes (IAR) aussi.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cette configuration minimal ne permettra surement pas d'avoir des visites ou bien de pouvoir revenir après une téléportation en HG mais comme le but est d'avoir une base pour se promener dans l'HG ça ne devrait pas être trop génant.

Mais voici les compléments de config à faire si on veut plus s'approcher d'une grille "normale", aux points notés plus haut par un *

*OPTIONS
- Pour permettre des visites facielement sons devoir indiquer le nom de la région il faut dans StandaloneCommon.ini ligne 114 :
Region_Nom_de_Votre_Region = "DefaultRegion, DefaultHGRegion, FallbackRegion"
(en remplaçant les éventuels espaces dans le nom par des 'soulignés' _
Dans le dossier opensim/bin/regions il faut modifier la ligne ExternalHostName = SYSTEMIP par votre IP externe ( http://whatismyip.com ) ou un domaine ou sous domaine pointant dessus.

- Si vous ne voulez pas garder le nom de la grille par défaut ( "the lost continent of hippo" ) modifier les lignes 229 et 232 dans StandaloneCommon.ini

- Après pour avoir les groupes et les messages ... il y a d'autres modifs à faire dans opensim.ini
Infos ici : https://sheikah.org/install-opensim-0-9-3-0-in-hypergrid-s... (made by @Ludo_Davis !)
Chercher "Edit OpenSim.ini"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dépannage:
- Bien vérifier dans les Paramètres réseau et Internet de Windows que la carte réseau est en profil de Réseau privé !
- Des infos pour ouvrir les ports selon votre Box Internet : https://support.safebrands.com/ouvrir-le-port-8443-sur-sa-...
- Si vous avez cette erreur lors d'un TP HG :
Teleport falled Cant teleport to a regjon on same map position. Try going to another reyon first. then retry trom there
Dans le dossier OpenSim/bin/Regions editez votre fichier Regions.ini ligne 3 Location = 1000,1000 et changez légerement ces coordonnées, comme 1010,1010 et relancez OpenSim.

FeedBack:
Comme dans ce domaine je suis persuadée que ça ne va pas réagir partout pareil, merci de me donner vos retours...
