Today starts The Merchant Sales Event at this year's OSFest and it's happening this week from Tuesday September 26th through Saturday September 30th. This is a grid-wide event with multiple merchants and sales and freebies galore! There are merchant teleport boards like the one pictured that are spread around the grid for convenience.

For example, one of our merchants, Sarvonne Creations Etc, is offering a 50% off deal on "Blues/Jazz Era" themed AI art series at her CheriNet Et Alias Gallery Shop at her OSFest store.

Lunaria Emporium is holding its biggest sale of the year. All of my castles and entertainment venues will be 75% off Kitely Market prices, and all my other smaller items displayed everywhere will be free, including some Egyptian pieces and some brand new Art Deco pieces and furniture not yet available anywhere.

DON'T MISS THIS

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

DREAMGRID 5.497 IS OUT!!! :)
THE JOYS OF DREAMGRID. DreamGrid is a software by Fred Beckheusen that makes it super easy to set up your own grid on windows. Having your own grid means that you can back up your lands at a whim, or on a schedule you set. You also have the power to back up your own inventory. Why is this important? When a grid is down for maintenance you are at the mercy of other people relying on their timeline to get the grid back up and running. Having your own grid also lets you control your own npc's, and gives you vast amounts of power that you don't have if someone else is in charge. If you have a problem with a person you can block their entire grid, or just that person if you don't like them. You can create and control tides, and automate birds flying in the air. Another super cool feature dreamgrid has, is that it lets you just start up the regions people are in, or going to. This means you can have 500 different lands, but if only 10 people are on your grid, then only up to 10 would be active. So basically as people teleport around your 500 lands, only the lands they teleport to instantly load for them to enjoy. This gives you a vast amount of options. DreamGrid even comes with hundreds of ready-made lands you can click and install and instantly enjoy. It also means that you can run hundreds of regions on a small not very powerful computer at your home, as only the active regions people teleport to will be running.
DreamGrid has so many many options and features, to many to mention... That you don't have access to or even dream about if you are a member of someone elses grid. It's easy to run. Now of course there will be some people who have difficulty starting a program or are just technically dumb who will complain about dreamgrid, but these people really shouldn't be allowed near a computer in the first place. DreamGrid is dead simple to operate and has features such as auto restart a crashed region, auto restart all regions at a certain time similiar to secondLife's rolling restarts, and of course the ability to backup all your hard work and your precious inventory at a moments notice. Put it on an external drive and you will never again lose all your data. So give DreamGrid a try! It really is a work of art that deserves praise and recognition.

Let this little cutie grace your landscape with vibrant but gentle colors. The flax plant with it's beautiful little flower will be the "star" of your garden, sidewalk, outdoor planter or vase. You'll find it exclusively at the Create A Scene Garden Center in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall. There is so much to see there and so many beautiful things. Stop in and feast your eyes and dare to dream of a beautiful scene that you can create. These pretty little flowers are full perm and free for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia

One of my parcels at OSFest is ready to go. This one promotes my Luxor region on Wolf Territories grid. The small structure in the center is a memorial to Veri McMaster and there's a song playing there titled 'Moments' by Sid Acharya - it is not a stream so just make sure your sounds are turned up and after about a minute you will hear it playing.

Here's the hop: hop://grid.opensimfest.com:8022/Unobtanium/777/321/25. HG Address is grid.opensimfest.com:8022:unobtanium. Just look for the Egyptian structures.

hello everyone,
I just wanted to send out this note to all of our Barefoot-Dreamers.
Thanks to Huga's untiring efforts the grid is up.
As she and Gabe noted this issue was beyond our control, but with the help of our server providers and with Huga and others brainstorming and troubleshooting, the server provider was finally able to track down the problem.
Thank you so much Huga!
.
We also want to thank you all for your patience and encouraging words.
Obviously, we would never want to have this happening and we do our best to keep the grid up and running. And we love having you all here as part of Barefoot-Dreamers.
However, life isn't perfect. So things happen…
.

please let us know if you have any issues, we are here to help.
Gabe, Huga, Kotu and rayne

OSFEST GRID IS OPEN!
Welcoming all builders to come get set up. You have questions, we have answers.. please read this useful article on the OSFest Blog

Presenting The CyberScan. A small handheld channel scanner. To those who need it, it will be invaluable. This one is more sophisticated than many sold on secondLife Marketplace, due to the advanced way listeners are handled in the scripts. It is super low lag, generating none, which is a miracle for a channel scanner. You can use it when you are scripting to listen to messages on a single channel or multiple channels. You can use it as a part of your anti-spy arsenal to listen to the hidden messages floating around in your sim, and make sure someone is not spying on you. You can also use it to troubleshoot sim lag generated by chatty objects, even on negative channels. This is a rare item, as it is the first one I've seen on the open grids. Get it at wizardry, or just ask me.

Lone Wolf, owner of the Wolf Territories grid, blocked me after I pointed out some technical shortcomings in his grid, deleting my comment from his post and blocking me.

This is the honest policy of some grid managers? what a nice thing, well, his response was really vague, like "my teleports are fast and you don't know what you are talking about on Opensim NGC" or stuttering something like that, but I will leave you my two comments, open your eyes, if there is no technical confrontation there is no good, growing and sharing is also part of that, he seemed like a good person. .. but he is probably afraid and not sure of what he is saying so he deletes uncomfortable comments because he is not strong in his reasons.

Here are my two comments :

I write to you with respect and would like to be honest.

I don't see anything special in this Opensim NGC, it just has preset configurations that are very easy to change, there are other Opensimulator derived projects clearly superior in quality and certainty for creators (see Kitely but that's just an example) and the goals of OS-NGC have been largely achieved by others long before and someone has done even more recently.

Also, you charge $50 (at the exchange rate) for a region, you may have an advanced control panel, but if I were to spend all that money on a grid where teleports don't work and as a creator I have no certainty that my items won't be forced even if I sell them in gloebit (I sell them once and then that's it because they are forced) I would never buy land from you.

You offer huge regions with 1.2 million unusable prims at an excessive cost passing it off as the best technologically advanced grid.

In fact if I were to buy a region and then find myself struggling in teleports, with constant problems loading the scenery around me, or it is simply slow to load the map (because it is very slow for your grid to load the map! "loading in progress..." and you have to wait a long time to visit a place if then the teleport doesn't fail!), if I decide because of these problems (and others) to leave, and I want to save the OAR to take my work with me, but where can I then place it? what grid would offer me a similar and less expensive solution? or maybe even as expensive but fuinctions well? how much of what I build will I lose?

I understand you make people stay there by you because only there they can take advantage of 1.2 million useless prims in huge regions never fully used, slow, where when you walk you feel the heaviness of the scenery (you move slow).

I registered with you intrigued and convinced I would find a technically advanced world, and then never went in again.

Don't brag too much, your grid is average, it may be big but not very functional.

With respect and honesty.

his response was something like "my teleports are among the fastest in opensim and you don't know opensim ngc" and I then said...

Always with honesty, don't feel attacked by me.

Your teleports fail every 50% of the time and the map is super slow to load targets.

Opensim NGC is easily available and its sources are visible from the repositories, and it has nothing special.

I don't think you have faster teleports than other Opensimulator grids, technically you should know how teleports work, other technically savvy users know that more than 50% of the Teleport depends on the viewer having a dedicated time to 'process the scenario before it is shown to you, typically on Firestorm this is about 3 to 5 seconds if I remember correctly, but there are other viewers that are really fast in teleporting, to this you have to add the communication speed of the grid, and yours is not, for example, faster than any domestic DreamGrid, so believe me, you may not know technically what I am talking about, but I know very well, one of the problems with your grid happen after teleporting.

Unfortunately, your large scenario generates slow loading because the viewer has to process the large amounts of terrain.

Your teleports don't always work, those in your grid know this very well (let's exclude the biased people who are with you out of sympathy or brotherhood),

also there is always that talk related to unusable regions outside your grid if I decide to leave with an OAR and this thing is a bit of a strategy to keep the user in your grid, I think all the people you have now as paying users will soon make you realize that a decent control panel does not make a difference, much better the ability to enjoy a functional grid.

Again with respect for your work and with honesty, I also tell you that I understand you, you made billions of posts where you described your best being, and no one ever responded to you, not even those with technical expertise, but in life you have to know how to deal with people.

Anyway, your grid is not bad, it is just hard to live with and very overrated.

cordial greetings.

New on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market/product/70551058/Egyptian-Ce...

The Celestial Pavillion is a large, open venue done in a reimagined ancient dynastic style, perfect for ancient Egyptian, Greek, or Roman roleplay, live performers, DJs, and any other large celebration or gathering, such as grid parties, birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries.

The Pavillion was inspired by the Temple of Isis at Philae on Agilkia Island located on the Nile River, but is not an exact replica. More than two thirds of Philae's surviving structures were built in the Ptolemaic era, during which the island became a prominent site of pilgrimage not only for Egyptians and Nubians but for pilgrims from as far as Anatolia, Crete, and the Greek mainland. During the Roman era, Philae was the site of the last known inscription in Egyptian hieroglyphs, written in AD 394, and the last known Demotic inscription, written in 452.

The Pavillion comes complete with multiple mesh lotus columns, both taller and shorter fire braziers, mesh date palms in exquisite polished gold planters, as well as various mesh statues. The build is 157 prims with all plants and braziers placed. The base footprint is 80 x 35 meters. A pair of these temples can be seen at my home region of Luxor flanking both sides of the Main Harbor.

HG Address: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Luxor

Now on the Kitely Market: https://www.kitely.com/market/product/70275470/Egyptian-So...

These are the mysterious and beautiful Southern Oracle Sphinxes from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story, perfect for fantasy, Egyptian, roleplay, or ancient regions. Two pairs are included: a left and a right sphinx in both Blue and Sandstone. Each statue is made up of the mesh model plus 3 light prims. The statues rez pretty large but can be modified to any height.

The build uses materials textures which give the surface additional detail and reflection, but these can only be seen with advanced lighting model activated in your preferences. Looks best under night settings.

Modify, Copy, and Export

All photos are of the actual model in world, and all details are mesh, not painted. Both sets can be viewed at Luxor on Wolf Territories Grid. HG Address: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Luxor
