Virtual Islands for Better Education is pleased to announce some of our grids have a new home.
Genome Island by Max Chatnoir (Mary Anne Clark in RL) is a collection of genetics and cell biology activities. It recreates many of the activities of her Second Life Genome Island (and some not there) which has been a Featured Destination and used by many biology teachers for over a decade. http://grid.sciencecircle.org:8002/Mendel
Nova Archaeology by Nova Saunders (Marion Smeltzer in RL) is a recreation of several archaeology sites from the midwest including interactive displays. http://grid.sciencecircle.org:8002/Nova
They are both hosted on the Science Circle OpenSim Project and are publically available and hypergrid accessible.

I run maria database and my friend's region have SF cats with SF Tower, SF fish, etc. but it come up in red in console as below and how to fix this? Am not running Dreamgrid but running Nani Opensimulator.

Had anyone had issues running opensim 9.1.1 with jOpenSim.Search.dll JOpenProfile.dll that won't work with windows 2019 on server that come up this error everytime. If I take it out then it working. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello all!
Me and a friend is talking about starting a new grid, that we, when its up, would connect to hypergrid etc.

Does anyone here know about a good server that we can rent from. Cheap with good prices and fast is a plus?

If you want to reliably TP to old 0.8.2.1 grids, set your dns name to all LOWER CASE in both the gird and the entry you add to the viewer. This has been haunting certain popular places for a long time. I think this can be fixed in Opensim code in 0.9.2, whenever that comes out.

Something that worked in Opensim 0.8.x : if you select "Include textures" during a mesh upload, you get a copy of the uploaded textures in your inventory, under the name " Textures".

In Opensim 0.9.x, it's not the same. If you select the checkbox, textures are uploaded and assigned to the mesh in world, but you don't have the textures in your inventory, so you can refer to them anymore.

The solution is to add an undocumented setting in OpenSim.ini :

[Economy]
MeshModelAllowTextureToInventory = true


The setting will be documented in next release, in reply to the opened issue: http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=8535

Hello everyone, looking for some scripting help. At one time HyperGrid Business had an article about using Google sheets as a database but since they've changed how sheets are handled, it's broken the code. Anyone know how to do this? It's the only method I can think of to make my project cross-hypergrid.
