has someone ever made a nice wheat or barley field? just tried it with my own texture - but whether it looks like minecraft (but flexy) or I have to put 1000 of flexiprims in long rows by hand?
would love to find a ready one or a manageable solution without cracking my sim or my wrist. thx!

What am I looking for? Information about how friending works in Open Sim, and what techniques some of you use.
I am new to OS, but not to virtual life. I have noticed that if I friend someone who is a member of the same grid as me, they will remain in my friends list. If I friend someone who is a member of a different grid, it is likely they do not appear in my friends list.
So how do you get around this?
Do you have a workaround? I am assuming they must have evolved over time.
Or am I missing something simple?
Maybe people just friend those from their own grid? lol

Anyhow... all information, advice and thoughts on this subject most welcome.
And for the record... I do consult with my favourite Chatbots before asking questions in here, but whilst they were aware of the difficulties, they could not find satisfactory resolutions in the various forums etc that they searched.
Have a great day/ night.

OK, I really am a doofus. The problem: I own a TON of .dae files I purchased in SL, and a whole bunch of them have permissions to share them on other grids, as well. So, I've been trying to upload them to Opensim. In Firestorm, I go to "build", then "upload", then "mesh model" and I select the file from mij harddisk. "Open", set LOD to "low" and pick "calculate weights and fees". There is... a really long time that goes by, like 15 minutes or half an hour even. And then, a popup: "(item name) failed to upload: missing physics_convex block". What am I doing wrong?

Search for freckles. And real freckles, not just a few barely visible ones. I actually have what I'm looking for, but the skin also has a tattoo covering half my body, which I don't like. Also, when I tried to edit a skin with the texture and add more freckles, it failed because the skin suddenly had holes in it.

Hi all, I just received an im with a question, and since I do not have a clue where to find these...I am asking for your help.
do you know where i can get some good eep day cycles? that was the question, please shoot some advice my way ? :)

Good Afternoon .... I am searching for the following. Any information and location would be an great help as well. Looking for animals such as rattle snakes, bears, eagles, etc. that would be great for trails for horses. Thank you in advance

Hello helpful people :) I am looking for.. well.. everything! haha. let me explain. I am building a copy of Monaco City and there will be a nice mall there for freebies shopping. Basically, the same freebies that are shared everywhere, but I hope to generate a better lay out, sorted by type, etc. The focus will be on "everything for your avatar" so clothing, bodies, hair, skins etc. both male and female. What I find though is that every place I find the clothes, bodies, skins, AO's etc. full perm offers them as 'sell contents" so i get a folder with the items. But I want them boxed, with the image on the box, the way they are displayed in all those stores that have them. Any ideas where I can find fullperm copies of the boxed items? I would so love to create a lovely mall but having to take pictures of every item myself is a ton of work plus they're clearly already available in Opensim. Your help would be very much appreciated!

Hello all helpful people! For the new club I am building I am looking for a lightshow. something along the line of: I drop a beat and push a button to make big lights do a short burst. so nothing constant, something I can control manually, and preferably not particles because laggggg. I know, I want a lot but I thought I'd ask, regardless. Thank you of you can help!

Hello, all!

I have been hunting for some animations, particularly adult ones of the solo male variety. 😅 I don't want this request to be too obscene for the group, so if further clarification is needed or you wish to reach out to me directly as opposed to posting a reply, I completely understand.

Thank you for your time!

Hi, Where can I find good men's hair?
All I find is really old, very bad looking stuff.
I'm mainly looking for modern haircuts, from wild to long, or short haircuts.

Oh and while I'm at it, I'm also looking for BOM men's heads ;)

Hi everyone. Hippie here.
First Thank you for making this group.
I am looking for several things, types of things.

Art Deco items, clothes of that era and anything else, I do have some but more is definitely better LOL
Also Burlesque AO or something similar, Burlesque costumes or something which can be adapted, modified as such.

Also Koi
Sorry a mish mash I know.

If anyone can help steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Good Day/ Night all.

Hi hi!
Thank you Jaime for your help in telling me about this place to post. =D

I am looking for a free mesh mailbox.
It doesn't need to be scripted, I already have the scripts, so just a mailbox would be nice.
I have a winter-ish one, but I'm looking for a regular one to put in front of houses.

Thank you so much! ♥

I need EvoX skins. Right now, mostly the usual skins, but fantasy skins and alien skins would be welcome as well. Anything that's good for an elf look would be welcome. I sometimes use a 'frozen elf' EvoX skin in SL, would love to do that as well in Open Sim =)

I'm OK with taking skins from other avatars, but I'd rather not take more of those if I can. A huge (or modest) EvoX fatpack would make my holidays awesome! =D

This group is huge! I have to confess I haven't had the time to read all the recent posts. So, this will be the format for the weekly post about who has helped recently. And as always, a picture completely unrelated to the topic! Remember when bearded babies were a thing?

Seeking someone who has more skills in Blender and importing than I do to see if they can get this sketchfab model to work and come into the OpenSim:

It's called Drinking Fountain with Bottle Filling Station by a creator named MooKorea

Please and thank you:)

What software would a grid owner need to host a music streaming service on their servers? The plan is to make it convenient for a region owner to rent stream(s). The software should allow scaling up capacity to meet the demand (understanding that the bandwidth needs to adjusted as needed.

Asking for a friend: in times when R.Lion is offline or for whatever reason inaccessible for days or weeks at a time, where can we find Lelutka heads with a HUD? I can find other heads but all the Lel heads I have with HUDs come from R.Lion and are no transfer & she needs her head HUD to complete her new avie!

Yikes! When did the chat box here replace posting? Doing so makes this group no better than looking for stuff via the front page box.

What posting does that chat can not.
1. It provides a way to post and reply in a threaded conversation. That way, we can more easily see what someone is looking for, the help that has been provided, and the help that is still needed.
2. We have a small core group of helpers. I'd like to keep them around, and add to the number. Posts make it easier to see who has helped and to create a post that acknowledges the helpers. In turn, the acknowledgement post helps the helpers by promoting their regions and/or interests.
3. A post can have a picture of what you want or otherwise bring attention to your post.

Someone said chatting is fast and more reliable. I'm not sure how. Once I know why chatting has come to be preferred, I can see what we can do to bring those features to posting.

What do you think?
