I gave it a good go but the rigging of the jewelry caused the avatar cost to go up too much. I have decided to pull some of the bento because of complaints about the avatar cost. Before rigging the jewelry is decimated until it loses it's detail, so I am decimating as much as possible. I will keep playing with it until I can get the cost down. Thank you Typhaine.Artez for taking the time to help me perfect the jewelry. It has been a battle because it is such fine details which cost huge on some pieces no matter how much I decimate, or clean up. The other issue is, when clients wear mesh shoes, hair, clothing their avatar cost is up there, then by wearing my jewelry it goes up let's say the same as a pair of shoes, but because the jewelry is usually added last, the jewelry is to blame!! It is all adding to the avatar cost. Back to the drawing board. Thank you for all the support!!

I went to the beach today… without ever leaving my computer.

I started with a simple sand castle, and of course one thing led to another. Before I knew it, there was a mermaid, an octopus, a sea turtle and finally a dolphin joining the party.

So now we have an entire little collection of sand sculptures!

I love how these turned out — especially all the tiny shells, starfish and carved details. They should be fun scattered along a beach or grouped together to make a little sand sculpture display.

Sometimes the best projects are the ones you didn't plan at all.

migration begins! after about a year of running we're making some changes to assetd server. originally it stored assets in ipfs and kept local zstd compressed files on each region server. this burned up alot of drive space and 10 years down the road just isn't sustainable. So I'm getting rid of ipfs and storing all assets in s3 bucket. assetd pulls the assets on request, fixes broken ones if needed. with squid cache between assetd and opensim things are much faster. squid keeps current assets in ram for fast loading and stores less active assets in an optimized file structure. we can adjust the levels to increase ram and drive cache. i'm currently moving 2,583,234 assets into s3 bucket. after that's complete we just need to restart the grid, shouldn't be any downtime during the transfer though. on dev server assets load super fast. so we hope to have a better experience on holoneon grid in the next few days.

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead

Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.

And this one is very difficult to keep dead.

Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.

This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.

Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.

This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.

And, naturally...

YOU CAN RIDE IT.

Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?

A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him

Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.

The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.

But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.

After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.

Wait a bit...

...and he puts himself back together.

Then off he goes again.

There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.

Go Ahead. Hit Him.

The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.

Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.

Head, arms, body — down he goes.

Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.

It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.

And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.

We know how people are.

But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button

This may be my favorite part.

Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.

Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.

Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.

So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...

piggybacking on a zombie.

I think that wins Halloween.

When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better

Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.

The zombie falls apart.

Then he reassembles himself.

Then he walks back home.

Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.

The Engineering Behind the Silly

That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.

They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.

The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.

Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.

It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.

That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.

Build something.

Take it apart.

Learn how it works.

Change it.

And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.

Resurrect Something This Halloween

There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.

Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.

Just remember one important rule:

If you manage to kill him...

don't celebrate too quickly.

He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

WE ARE BACK — SUBTERRANEA
You thought we were gone?

We’ve been hiding UNDERGROUND, charging the speakers, feeding the demons and arguing over who gets the better tunes.

This time we're bringing DJ Chocolate & Adrian Moon together for a proper subterranean takeover — and this one is all about NU DISCO.
Today 09/10/2026
DJ CHOCOLATE — 11AM → 1PM
ADRIAN MOON — 1PM → 3PM

Expect funky basslines, disco grooves, shimmering synths, dirty little edits, deep house flavours and enough groove to make even the furniture start dancing.

Basically...
disco went underground, got darker, got sexier and found a bassline.

Come for the music.

Stay because you’ve forgotten where the exit is.

The wheels are ready to roll!
And the adventure awaits!

Come join us for a road trip through OpenSim, discovering amazing places, beautiful regions, hidden gems, and maybe a few unexpected stops along the way!

Bring your camera!

Let’s explore, laugh, chat, and see where the road

There is something wonderful about seeing Corazon del Mar come alive with visitors—people wandering the streets, exploring the shops, discovering little corners, and simply enjoying the atmosphere.

A region is built with prims, mesh, textures, and countless hours of work, but people are what give it life.

To everyone who has stopped by Corazon del Mar, whether you stayed for a few minutes or spent an evening exploring, thank you for being part of our world.

We hope you found something that made you smile, something worth remembering, and perhaps a reason to wander our streets again. 💗

❤️Sometimes, everything becomes a little too much.
Thoughts grow heavy, and the nights too short.
And still, I carry on —
step by step, day by day.
Not because I am always strong,
but because there is someone worth staying strong for.❤️
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
❤️Manchmal wird alles ein wenig zu viel.
Die Gedanken werden schwer, die Nächte zu kurz.
Und trotzdem mache ich weiter –
Schritt für Schritt, Tag für Tag.
Nicht weil ich immer stark bin,
sondern weil es jemanden gibt, für den es sich lohnt.❤️

We have released WolfVoice to GitHub this morning - this is a complete WebRTC setup for OpenSim, so you can switch off Vivox or add voice to any grid. It includes the server software and full setup instructions.

Note that we run the amazing OpenSim NGC, so it's designed to run with that, but it should run with any version of OpenSim. No more Vivox Droputs. https://github.com/wolfsoftwaresystemsltd/wolfvoice is the repository. Have fun!

The paths are ready for wandering, the frog fairies are waiting, and the little leaf boat is on the water.

Come explore Tumbletwig, a whimsical world of hidden nooks, magical gardens, tree homes, and tiny surprises around every corner.

Tumbletwig is now open to the public — come wander!
This oar will be ready at Outworldz oar portal soon, please come by and see.

THE OBJECT OF THE GAME / GAMEPLAY
🕵️ WHO’S THE IMPOSTOR?

Think you know the secret? Prove it.

At the start of the game, every player—except one—receives the same secret word. But there’s a twist: the Impostor doesn’t get the word. Instead, they receive a clue and must use it to blend in.
🎯 HOW TO PLAY

Each round, every player takes a turn giving a ONE-WORD response related to the secret word.

Players with the secret word: Use your word to come up with a clever response without making it too obvious.

The Impostor: Use the clue to figure out the secret word and give a response convincing enough to fool everyone.

Then comes the fun part…
👀 SPOT THE IMPOSTOR

Once everyone has answered, it’s time to review, discuss, and investigate. Analyze every response. Question every answer. Trust no one.

Finally, everyone votes for the player they believe is the Impostor.
🏆 WILL YOU CATCH THEM?

Can the players uncover the Impostor before they escape?

Or will the Impostor blend in, fool the group, and get away undetected?

The word is secret. The answers are suspicious. And one player is trying to fool you.

LET THE GAME BEGIN!

I am honored to share the news that Fred Beckhusen’s “Phaze” collection will be coming to the Weathered Woods Second Life Marketplace store.

Phaze was the Second Life region of Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards, and the creations associated with Phaze represent their creativity, work, and history in Second Life. Full credit for these creations and their legacy belongs to Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards.

Weathered Woods is honored to provide a new home where selected pieces from this remarkable archive can once again be made available to the Second Life community.

This will be a carefully curated collection. Fred will decide which creations from his archives he wishes to release, and those pieces will be added to Weathered Woods over time. Each Marketplace listing will preserve the appropriate creator attribution and acknowledge the history behind the work.

For me, having Fred’s work represented alongside my own creations at Weathered Woods is an extraordinary honor. I look forward to helping preserve this little piece of Second Life history and making Fred and Debbie’s creations available for others to discover and enjoy again.

Coming to Weathered Woods

Please Note! Platform Availability Notice


The Phaze Archive will be curated separately for Second Life and OpenSim. Items, versions, permissions, and availability may differ between platforms.

Each platform will feature content specifically selected and approved for release there. An item available on one platform should not be assumed to be available on the other.

All original creator credits and applicable licensing will be preserved.

To Address any confusion:

A Note About the Phaze Archive

I would like to clarify the purpose of this project.

The Phaze Collection represents archived Second Life creations by Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards. Our goal is preservation—to restore these precious assets, keep them from being lost to time, and allow selected creations to be enjoyed again in the environment for which they were originally created.

These are not simply files that can automatically be moved to OpenSim. Some contain Second Life-specific scripts and functionality that would need to be rewritten or adapted for OpenSim before they could work properly.

We are also not using Second Life Marketplace primarily as a money-making venture. It is the Second Life distribution portal available to us, making it a practical way to preserve and provide access to selected pieces from the archive.

OpenSim is separate. Fred has generously provided creations to the OpenSim community through Outworldz for well over a decade, and new resources continue to be added there. We do not distribute through Kitely Market. We distribute here:
https://outworldz.com/

Many of our OpenSim friends also maintain homes and avatars in Second Life. Those are the people this announcement was intended to reach. We are part of communities that overlap; enjoying one virtual world does not require us to stop enjoying another.

Most importantly, this project is about preservation, respect for the original creators, and ensuring that an important collection of virtual-world creativity survives to be enjoyed again. ❤️

Empathy and copyright.
I was appalled. Not too long ago, this person blocked me because I reported extensively on Anachron's illness here. This morning I posted that he has to go back to the hospital for chemotherapy today. And what does this woman do? Instead of leaving her well wishes as a comment, she makes her own post and even uses my picture for her graphic. First, she doesn't want to know anything about Anachron's condition, and then she publicly expresses her sympathy in this way. I was appalled. Furthermore, my images are now protected by copyright due to their elaborate production process, which goes beyond AI... but that's just a side note...

We've been working on our wolfstorm web based viewer for opensim, with VR and Mobile support, I'm excited to say we are really getting to our first release (beta), it will only run on Wolf Grid right now because when you login you are giving your username and password. Just wanted to show you our welcome centre rendered in a web browser, no downloads.

Joan catches her breath at the end of an afternoon clearing the hay meadow.

Fairhaven is a strictly historical region set in 1557 Somerset in Tudor England. As I get ready to go back to school, my region is much more sparse than I'd hoped it would be, but I've learned so much this summer -- what an experience! I'll keep working on small pieces of it between lesson planning and grading papers.

As far as hobbies go, this is way better, if only slightly cheaper, than golf.

Added 3 beautiful new music boxes assorted tunes. Oh did I mention they are 1 prim each . A whimsical Elven enjoyment!

NOTICE:
Anyone who picked up a music box earlier, please stop in to receive the updated ON/OFF upgrade.
Nothing drives people crazy more then a music box that won't shut up! lol sorry. Hmm , wonder if that will work on hubby.

Instructions: sit at the pier in the middle of the bay (or teleport to "fishing"), grab a fishing pole from the vendor there and start fishing by clicking the pole or saying "Cast" in local. There are 7 different packs to find for 7 different fabrics (see the ad above), each containing a bikini with matching sarong for Athena, LaraX, Legacy and Reborn, as well as swimming trunks for Legacy Male & Athletic, Jake/Ares and Gianni. These are original limited editions that can't be found at any store in the Hypergrid. Have fun!

First test of new Oar server success only a few bugs to sort yay. I tried on region with not much, created oar of 5522 assets in 9.2 seconds resulting file 377mb
oar server is independent and runs separate from opensim server, handles REST commands. example

}
if you know how the oar module works in opensim server, batch process 100 assets at a time with callbacks that clobber the CPU and take ages to complete.

separating oar creating from opensim service gives us opportunity to be fast :) since regions run in RAM we have to trigger a disk sync with 'backup' or restart the region first.
