Today starts my Opensim Appreciation Giveaway, and it's happening all this week at OSFest from Monday July 18th through Sunday July 24th. Everything I have out on my four merchant regions at OSFest will be free, with the exception of two structures still under construction that I will debut in the next month. Freebies include castles, entertainment venues, statues, landscaping, airships, and decor of all kinds - if you see it you can get it for free. I have four parcels on the OSFest grid: one on the Chlorine region and three on Unobtanium.

DON'T MISS THIS

In addition, there are nearly 25 merchants participating with me in a massive sales event all week - sales prices and freebies galore. Supporting is caring, and encourages quality creators to set up shop in opensim.

Start here, then look for the merchant teleport board: grid.opensimfest.com:8022:HG-Welcome

According to our Observatory experts, many visitors crash when trying to teleport to Novale. This would seem to be related to a known bug, a conflict between Firestorm viewer and Vivox.
Good news, there is a way to go around it : prior to teleport to Novale, go to your preferences/Sound&Media/Voice and diseable Voice.
Try it and let us know if it works for you !

Can you guess who did what?
If you haven't finished your build, there is still time - but it's running out. See you on the grid!

just a reminder.. this is an ADULT GRID, and an ADULT REGION.. that means no child avatars or children allowed.. it you think you have been wrongfully ejected and banned message me here and plead your case.. but if you look 12 you are a child avatar

TELEPORT HUD - This is the most advanced teleport hud you will ever see in any of the grids. It can be used to teleport to a grid, then a region, then a location in that region. It uses DialogPlus which means you can have pages of places saved in it. Also I got it to save all the locations to a notecard, so in case you reset it, you won't lose all your locations. Additionally, you can edit the notecard and add new locations manually if you like, then save notecard. Then click the hud, and click load. All the new locations you manually entered will be loaded into the hud. -- Now... Some grids will not let you get access to the gateway information via osGetGridGateway... So in other words, it's going to break on some sims, but you can always reset it, and just know that it's ok to tp to those grids, just don't try to tp around once you get there, you can always use ctrl-shift-h to get home if you have a home location set. So why a TP hud? We had these in sL and they make life easier, if you are smart enough to know how to use one. It's just better, that's why.
Keep in mind, that it is purposefully designed so that when you tp to a grid ONLY those regions in that grid will appear under the [Regions] button. Once you select a region it will tp you to that region. Then you click [Locations] and only the locations that are IN THAT SIM will be displayed. This is done on purpose to avoid being confused about what locations are in what sim on what grid. It's intelligently designed to make it as easy as possible to navigate around the hypergrids.

Do you need a nice building in which to show off your creations/merchandize at OSFest?
Making mesh that fits the limits of the grid can be challenging but Luna Lunaria has kindly provided a solution!
" Fits the 64 x 64 and is full perms so that you can size it to your parcel and do with whatever you like. You can find it at the main landing as well as the landings for Oxygen, Sulphur, and Fluorine. Feel free to share it" - Luna Lunaria

A big THANK YOU to all Sponsors and Contributors. You've helped us reach our goal of covering the cost of OSFest !
Keep it coming - all further donations and sponsorship contributions will be shared out among the many performers who will be on stage over the 17 day event.
Avatar registration is now open. Check your email for a link to set up your local avie. PS, YES you CAN use your usual avatar name.

Fun with Building - the main access from the harbor is now complete. I'm the tiny little speck on the stairs to the left of the lower access opening. The style of the region is less ancient history and more like my take on a Stargate vibe :-)

Npc Greeter? Why not? I have made a single prim npc greeter. It greets the person and sends them a group invite to your group. Just remember to change the group on the object that you want them to be invited to. Also edit the script and change the wording to say what you want it to say. You can put any npc card in the yellow circle prim and that npc will show up (as long as it is the only one in there) If you need any help at all just ask me! I almost forgot. Here is the script im working on to stop greifers: - https://opensimworld.com/library?view=97 It is very advanced - like a swiss watch - so be careful and know what you are doing.

I am feeling real bad right now. So sorry if I miss a reply, or a friend here, or in my worlds. The red baron shot me down for now... haha! Prayers, love, hugs n high 5's everyone.




(Afterthought) On an upnote? My server is managing to survive on my partially fried workstation. :)

Come and check out Crazy Town! Whether you are looking for musical instruments, furniture, landscaping items, a new look or just want to have a good time exploring with your friends....I have a little of everything here. See if you can find the cave or my rl picture ;)

It's time for a classic.

I've put out the Acapulco Chairs in the centre of the outdoor shop next to the beach area.

The thing about these chairs is you can use them outside on the patio and they work great but you can also add some cool to your house by using them inside.

There are 4 colours in the box ready to go, scripted with sfposer for girls and boys. I've included the textures in case you would like to do some modding. The silver version works great for tinting different colours. Just tint the two seat faces.

Have fun and be cool... :)

Just created my avatar on Wolf Territories and officially joined their grid. Almost done with a satellite store on their Ocean 20 region. I've always loved this grid simply because it is over 500 contiguous regions - great for flying and sailing, and because the owner @wolfterritories is extremely supportive of all my work.

You can find my store here:
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Wolf Territories Ocean 20

Suite à une panne des serveurs FrancoGrid hébergés chez Scaleway Online , et l'absence de volonté de la part de l’hébergeur de trouver une solution viable, nous sommes en incapacité de remonter la grille.
L'association perdure, et reste en veille.
Les assets sont perdus après 2020, les assets datant d'avant 2020 sont saufs. Notre admin technique réfléchit à une solution pour fournir des .iar aux personnes le souhaitant, pour toute information, veuillez contacter ssm par mail : contact@francogrid.org
Pour toute information concernant la trésorerie, ou pour un hébergement (payant) sur un serveur pour monter des simulateurs sur la grille de votre choix, veuillez contacter Nino par mail : fgagod@gmail.com

The association continues, and remains on standby.

STOP WAR - Peace-Festival in Dorenas World
STOP WAR
Peace-Festival
Wir planen für die Tage um die Iden des März (also 14-16.3.2022) ein Festival gegen den Krieg (oder für den Frieden - ganz wie ihr wollt).

Bis auf das o.g. Datum ist noch alles offen und wir bitten alle, die sich da mit einbringen möchten sich kurzfristig mit Anachron Young oder Dorena Verne in Verbindung zu setzen.
Wir machen uns sicherlich keine Illusionen, das wir mit dieser Aktion etwas ändern können, es kann nur ein symbolischer Akt sein uns eindeutig zu positionieren. Aber auch das ändert eben schon etwas - und sei es "nur" in unseren eigenen Köpfen.

Peace Festival
We are planning an anti-war (or pro-peace - whatever you want) festival for the days around the Ides of March (i.e. March 14-16, 2022).

Except for the date mentioned above, everything is still open and we ask everyone who would like to get involved to get in touch with Anachron Young or Dorena Verne at short notice.
We certainly have no illusions that we can change something with this action, it can only be a symbolic act to position ourselves clearly. But that also changes something - even if it is "only" in our own heads.
