Hi everyone. I have had a few people ask if we will upload IAR files to Wolf Territories from OSGRID. Unfortunately we have to protect the security of the grid so we will not be doing that at this time. However I'm pleased to say that region owners can upload OAR files, although we have a scanner that pre-scans OAR's. We are running a custom version of OpenSim called WolfSim that has many built in protections, including running on dotnet 10 rather than 8 like many grids, properly locked down servers running our WolfStack infrastructure software (https://wolfstack.org) etc. Plus users benefiting from our Viewers get added security,

We have removed some quite severe security vulnerabilities in Firestorm in our WolfViewer viewer that can run on any grid, but Wolf users get a lot of extra features. I wish everyone all the best with what is going on but that's where Wolf Territories is at the moment. Please PM me if you have any questions Lone Wolf in world, on discord or on this platform.


In other news we have a new opensim blog https://opensimblog.com

Roll the dice
Grab a coffee

Enjoy the craic!

Every Tuesday — come roll with us!

All of us at My Virtual beach are devastated of the news of OS Grid. I wish there was something I/we could do.

I cant believe after all these years one person could trash a whole grid like that.

When I first came to opensim OS grid was the first place i got stuff for my suitcase (inventory) I have met a lot of friends in OS Grid over the years. The time i have spent in LBSA PLaza will always be cherished and missed. OS Grid was my first for a lot of things.

I have learned so much for a lot of people in OS Grid.

Hugs to all affected by the shutdown. Where you may end up, you all know where to find me to keep in touch. I hope someone saves LBZA Plaza, i enjoy hanging out there. it was the central hub for all grids.

GUESS WHO JUST ARRIVED?

Double, double, toil and trouble... wait, that's the wrong witches!

Hi Starchild Shoppers!
Looks like there was an issue preventing people from rezzing assets in their own grids after purchasing them. It should be patched now!

SOLIDO Gianni Men’s Flannel Shirt

Sleeves rolled. Style sorted.

Classic plaid with an urban edge, detailed PBR textures, and a tucked-in cut that pairs easily with jeans or casual pants.

Four colors: Mid Brown, Green, Grey, and Rust & Navy.

Made for Signature Gianni. The tucked-in style can also work with other bodies—try it for your fit.

Free at the Neverworld Marketplace.

I have modified the fertility/pregnancy system to ensure it is fully functional and ready for use.
I added a clinic setup featuring equipment such as an examination bed and a monitor to check the fetus's condition.
Additionally, I included a visual HUD element that displays key information—such as your current status (pregnant or not), your menstrual cycle stage, and the father's name (if pregnant).
=============================================
The system is still in the testing phase and has not been released yet. ^^

If you have any suggestions or ideas, please leave them in the comments. Thank you

Running a grid is more than throwing around some dirt and rocks! It's ensuring that residents have a safe place to create, lag-free, thousands of kilometers of roads and water, free land to live their dreams, free store space, a free marketplace, thousands of original content items, friendly and helpful admins, and stability. With so much DRAMA! And anyone who says it cannot be done, has not been running Neverworld for the past 11 years of stability, respect and friendship.

Ferries at Dublin port, note you will need WolfViewer / WolfStorm to access it, these ferries run for 3 to 11 hours stopping at all the major ports on the Ireland region. This is an 1800x1800 region which contains the full terrain of Ireland and we are working on building it out.

The Haunted Halloween Isles are back open along with the charming, friendly Pumpkin Patch. Come visit, but realize you may not leave alive.

This year features an all new Day of the Dead area thanks to materials from Kim Starr and Cooper Swizzle.

For those not aware, OSFest is now a fully Hypergrid festival where you can host events on your own grid or grab some space on the OSFest grid to exhibit or setup a store. Before OSFest in September, OSGrid tends to run its fundraiser which is why we didn't choose dates in that month. Following OSFest, Hypergrid International Expo will be in November then OSCC likely in December. Fall is busy on the Hypergrid with many other events happening so hopefully some of those will join in the fun with remote events instead of schedule conflicts so we can send them some avatars too Let's celebrate each other together. It's your OSFest!!
OSFest Performances and Dance Area for live music, DJs, comedy, readings, prose, fireworks, light shows, and burn events!

BINGO BINGO BINGO ,Come join us for a few games of Bingo, Get the best Numbers and Seats, Get those points in, and who knows you will be the Bingo King Or Queen , with host Ted Junior Calling the Numbers

(no AI). So some of you are aware we have been working on hyper regions at Wolf. We have a 200x200 region (40,000 SL regions in size), we have loaded the terrain of my beloved Ireland on it (with some mods for the rivers). Note you will need WolfViewer or use WolfStorm to visit it - the region is called Wolf Nation. I'm not sure where we will go from here with it https://wolf-grid.com.

Warning FIRESTORM will crash if you try and visit this region with it.

I was creating a Landing Area for New People from Sinespace who have never been in Opensim and I thought I would post the most basic that most people look over for Mesh Clothing. Just my thoughts. BOM is back with some Mesh avatars.

A Small but Important Update on Textures

Ina Beaumont recently asked if I could include all of the textures with my items, not just the PBR materials, so that people who are not using a PBR-enabled viewer can still enjoy them properly.

I gave this some thought. I had been hoping that most everyone was moving toward PBR-enabled viewers, but Ina made a very good point—not everyone is there yet, and not everyone uses Firestorm.

So, going forward, I will include the complete set of textures that comes with the model, including the traditional textures as well as the PBR materials.

A quick note about texture sizes: please feel free to reduce them to whatever size works best for you. I have experimented with reducing them myself, but on many of the items I find that they become noticeably blurry, so the original size generally gives me the best results.

These are the textures produced with the model pack, and with the number of things I create, I simply don't have the time to resize and test every individual texture before release.

Please resize them as you wish and use whatever gives you the best balance between appearance and performance on your grid.

Thank you, Ina, for bringing this up. It was a good suggestion, and hopefully including everything will make my creations more accessible to everyone. ♥

I have added all the textures to the Hot Damn BBQ (sorry for the return trip to grab them) Also the Butterflies are Near Choker at Monentes Jewelry. Thank you Ina for helping me to realize the obvious, not everyone has or likes PBR!

LINKUP OPENS WITH A BIG BANG!

Yesterday, LinkUp opened its doors on OpenSim in spectacular style, with up to 50 OpenSim residents joining us and helping make our grand opening an unforgettable morning!

The event got underway with DJ Whisper opening the celebration, setting the perfect mood and getting everyone onto the dancefloor with an amazing selection of music.

We were then treated to fantastic live performances from our two special guests, Ouienanda Proud2B Thai and Eva Fae, who took to the stage and entertained the crowd with their incredible performances.

DJ Ted also kept the music flowing and the party atmosphere alive, ensuring the dancefloor stayed packed and full of energy.

The dancefloor was full of moving bodies, laughter, dancing, and good vibes as everyone came together to celebrate the opening of LinkUp.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended, supported us, danced with us, and helped make our opening such a massive success!

Up to 50 residents, two incredible live performers, two fantastic DJs, and one rocking dancefloor!

And this is only the beginning… LinkUp is officially open!

The stage has a dressing room so outfit changes during the event are entirely possible (make sure they are in your suitcase!)
