Earlier in the BOX,
I said something SIGNIFICANT is about to happen and I am a man of my word!

Ozone Miniverse may be a closed content grid but we are not greedy. When we share knowledge openly and freely, EVERYONE BENEFITS. We had a nasty wake-up call last year. Our grid went down 6 months because of a hardware failure and lack of time to get things operational. We thought we were going to be gone forever. Thankfully, due to backups and a little elbow grease, we were able to restore Ozone in it's entirety.

An assortment of useful things were made and we had lots of people asking about them after closing SimGEAR. Now that I am retired, I decided to release this content for your PERSONAL USE. Open them, learn from them, improve them, get inspiration and make something better!

*This includes the coveted LIGHT CLUB many of you wanted....

Content will leave my grid sometime this weekend when I temporarily remove the EXPORT flag. I will give these packages to the following people and their representatives for legal redistribution.

1. Satyr of Opensimworld
2. Mistress Dalgato of MyVirtualBeach
3. Lotek Ixtar of OS-Collar Fame.
4. Maze of the MIND

Be careful who you get your content from. If this comes from the people I mentioned, you can be assured the content is safe and authentic. I am NOT authorizing anyone else to share this content as is. Some people will ignore this directive, I know that.

People who vend things without authorization are the reason why nobody wants to make original quality content for Opensim. There is more to Opensim than shopping stuff malls for broken junk which adds bloat to your databases.

Vendor announcements will post when they are ready.

Work is progressing. When I can't connect and work on the LSL scripts, I handle the web development. Ultimately, everything communicates from Opensimulator to PHP/MySQL, which is then stored in the database. From the databases, the data is then transferred from PHP/MySQL to the website, which is currently under development. Today I'm working on player profiles. We're intentionally keeping the Hypergrid names in some entries because the game will be fully Hypergrid compatible. Example profile: https://bloodmoonpack.com/pages/player.php?id=52

Die Vorfreude ist schön, euch alle bald auf unserer Fete zu seh'n. Haltet euch den Termin ja frei und kommt zur wilden Feierei
Es ist wieder Montag und Zeit für die abwechlungsreiche Music von A bis Z

SECURITY: How your grid CAN handle HG traveler assets.

Opensimulator documentation is available but how many of us fully utilize it?

I have a confession to make: I feel like a complete imbecile! I followed instructions on some klutz of a website which gave me instructions on running a standalone grid... GREAT... everything is up and running smoothly. Now lets build some worlds and secure my....

EGAD! Suddenly, it dawned on me, I have been using this software for years and I did not completely READ THE F⭐⭐⭐ING MANUAL!

As a refugee from several worlds, my hosting journey began with a standalone setup, where I was blissfully unaware of the complexities involved in the handling of assets from hypergrid travelers. As a former Kitely merchant, I am looking into ways people can interact with my creations without taking them. Out of ignorance, I took the wrong security measures.

One of the common misconceptions that led to limitations, such as banning prim or mesh attachments (to avoid cheating) at Dismayland, is the belief that the server must download and store visitor assets to display them properly. This is not entirely true. By applying specific precautions, you can prevent visitor assets from being stored or affecting your environment.

So if you do not want "SL-Lara" on your grid, or you do not want the rot from someone's full suitcase, you can rest in the comfort of knowing their assets will not infect your world if you take the following precautions...

Restricting the ability for hypergrid visitors to rez objects or execute scripts is crucial. By doing so, you can effectively ensure that their assets are not saved in your database, significantly reducing the risks of unwanted modifications or overwrites. This approach provides a balanced way to maintain control over your creations while still offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy your content visually.

By understanding how asset management works in OpenSim and applying the correct security measures, you can create an environment that respects the creative efforts of your residents while sharing the beauty of your virtual worlds with others.

This approach is not without caveats: when you travel to other worlds, you WILL appear as a blob while your viewer shows you a cached appearance. It will not stop copycats, the most determined rippers can easily grab what is seen, but without your code and hidden assets, those useless rips end up in stuff boxes, wasting valuable server resources. There is nothing I enjoy more than making clever obstacles in today's virtual 'Wild Wild West'!

TL;DR: When we share knowledge openly and freely, EVERYONE BENEFITS.

We're making progress! Today we finished the spike, which can drain 10, 25, or even 40 liters of vital fluid. I'll add the video of the spike once I've finished the Soul Reaper, which is the next step. I apologize for the delay, but between my day job, family life, and other commitments besides OpenSimulator, I haven't been able to find much time to dedicate to it. You can watch the video of what I've already accomplished, keeping in mind that the spike wasn't finished at the time of filming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQJIaxfVj_Q

Thank you for your patience.

Well Christmas 2025 is over and now belongs to the ages, 2025 is over and belongs to the ages as we continue endlessly moving forward and growing, but not to despair about what is gone, no we celebrate so much in the year to come, especially those we LOVE the most - friends, family, and our significant other, and so with that in mind I have created some "VALENTINES" items for y'all! They are found in the Holidays & Seasons section of the Mall. Drop by and check them out. I'm putting the Valentines stuff out early because we who own the grid are moving this month and well we have a month's worth of packing and scheduling and address changes, utilities to turn off and utilities to turn on, I'm sure if you've done any moving you know how very busy it can be. And well, I didn't want to let you down and miss making Valentines stuff for y'all to enjoy. C'mon over and check it out and there will be more very soon. Blessings and much love, Lavia!
