In the history of Opensim there are thousands of people who, over the years, have accomplished something incredible in millions of hours. "Opensim" open the folder and try to read all the pages. You don't get old enough for that. They did this without asking for anything. Open source! That's why there are not only SL where you get ripped off. But more and more people with this sad character trait come to Opensim from there and destroy it with greed in line increments. Thousands of permissive people have created beautiful things. Each one in thousands of hours of their lifetime. Without thinking about profit. Just like socially supported by the state who want to earn black money here. Which eventually leads to the fact that we have to tax everything here in our country. So in the long run the social curtail themselves. If that happens exactly these Opensim will no longer be able to. I pray for taxes, because only that will save Opensim's morale. After 16 years of SL and LL mentor, Philip Rosedale, who let us down in 2010, and Ebbe Altberg, who is just as greedy for money, pass the A ... Opensim is alpha, a hobby and not a marketplace. If you can't finance your hobby, lolz should go fishing.

You copy all of these works. And you set this to no copy, no mod, no trans for others. Have you ever asked yourself what right? Compared to those who released these things to everyone CMT? You are selfish and arrogant towards Opensim Spirit. Did you ask these people if that's okay with them? If you do not understand this message, you will never be part of Opensim, but only a shadow of it. When I overrate myself, I start counting stars in the sky. That brings me back to the floor. Rakis Heron Freebie Grid Opensim Spirit as long as I breathe.

I salute as an army officer to all the people who have selflessly created all of this. My oath, I will do my utmost to maintain this. We owe that to everyone who created Opensim and made it what it is today. Everything else is an insult to these people.
Greed for profit does not belong in the opensim.

Giving and taking without circumcision is a matter of character.
Everything else belongs in Linden Lab's Second Life

In der Geschichte von Opensim gibt es tausende Menschen, die in all den Jahren, zusammen in Millionen Stunden etwas Unglaubliches zustande gebracht haben. "Opensim" öffne den Ordner und versuche all die Seiten zu lesen. Du wirst nicht alt genug dafür. Sie leisteten dies, ohne etwas zu verlangen. Open Source! Deshalb gibt es nicht nur SL wo man abgezockt wird. Aber immer mehr Menschen mit dieser traurigen Charaktereigenschaft kommen von dort zu Opensim und zerstören es mit ihrer Habgier in Zeilenschritten. Tausende freizügige Menschen haben schöne Sachen erstellt. Jeder einzelne in tausenden von Stunden ihrer Lebenszeit. Ohne an Profit zu denken. So wie Sozial unterstützte vom Staat, die hier schwarz verdienen wollen. Was irgendwann dazu führt, dass wir alles hier bei unserem Land versteuern müssen. Also die Sozialen beschneiden sich auf Dauer selber. Wenn, das eintritt werden genau diese Opensim nicht mehr vermögen. Ich bete für Steuern, denn leider nur das wird die Moral von Opensim retten. Nach 16 Jahren SL und LL Mentor, geht mir Philip Rosedale der uns 2010 im Stich liess und Ebbe Altberg der genau so geldgierig ist, am A... vorbei. Opensim ist Alpha, ein Hobby und kein Marktplatz. Wer sein Hobby nicht finanzieren kann, lolz soll fischen gehen.

Du kopierst all diese Werke. Und setzt diese bei Dir auf no copy, no mod, no trans für andere. Hast Du Dich schon einmal gefragt mit welchem Recht? Gegenüber denen die diese Sachen für alle frei gaben CMT? Du bist egoistisch und arrogant gegenüber Opensim Spirit. Hast Du diese Menschen gefragt, ob ihnen das recht ist? Wenn Du diese Botschaft nicht verstehst, wirst Du nie ein Teil von Opensim sein, sondern nur ein Schatten dessen. Wenn ich mich überbewerte, fange ich an Sterne am Himmel zu zählen. Das bringt mich auf den Boden zurück. Rakis Heron Freebie Grid Opensim Spirit so lange ich atme.

Ich salutiere als Armee Offizier vor all den Menschen die all dies selbstlos geschaffen haben. Mein Schwur, ich werde mit aller Kraft versuchen dies zu erhalten. Das schulden wir all denen die Opensim erschaffen, und zu dem gemacht haben, was es heute ist. Alles andere ist eine Beleidigung diesen Menschen gegenüber.
Profitgier gehört nicht ins Opensim.

Geben und nehmen ohne Beschneidung ist Charaktersache.
Alles andere gehört ins Second Life von Linden Lab

*** NEW RELEASE ****NG - NEXT GENERATION GREEDY GAME TABLES *** Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Please read notecard READ ME before using table + controller as there are many extra features! I reproduce text from NC here though:
NG GREEDY TABLES NOW are in 2 pieces;

- Table itself (around 41 prims, depending on model used and only 3 scripts);
- Greedy Controller Board (GCB) (89 prims and 1 script); and it can be paired to only ONE TABLE!


ATTENTION: ALWAYS REZ THE TABLE BEFORE THE OTHER PARTS OTHERWISE THE PAIRING WON`T WORK! WHEN BOARD REZED IT SHOWS IN GREEN "SELECT A TABLE". WHEN PEOPLE STARTS PLAYING THE GAME, BOARD SHOWS "GAME IN PROGRESS" IN YELLOW. IF THESE SENTENCES DON`T SHOW UP, DELETE BOTH TABLE AND BOARD AND START ALL AGAIN.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------(GCB) GREEDY CONTROLLER BOARD

ACCESS: U can now set who will be able to change the settings from ur table.

JOIN ON SIT (*): When selected, players will be added automatically to the game when they sit down. If not selected, they need sit down and click JOIN.

(*) Selected or not, players can play the game without sitting down (since they are not far away from table - see PLAY RANGE).

POINTS MODE:
KEEP: Let`s say player A makes 1,4K and leave two dices to be rolled. So next player, B, can choose either ROLL with this two dices left or click STOP and then ROLL again, so table will refresh to 6 dices to rolled. But If player B decides to roll with these two dices left and at least one of them is "1" or a "5" and press STOP he will KEEP the 1,4K points made by player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

STEAL: Exactly like KEEP mode but if player B rolls a "1" or "5" from the two dices left from player A and press STOP he will STEAL the 1,4K points from player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

CLASSIC: Like on V6 tables, so no KEEP / STEAL mode enabled.

DEVIL DICE: When selected, eventually a devil will show instead of a numbered dice. It works like a "joker dice" u often see from SL tables: u can select any value to that dice to make a combo with a highest score possible. Eg: U have two "6". so u could make the devil dice to be a "6" so u will have 6,6,6 (600 points).

SOUNDS: When selected, sounds from table will be ON; when unselected, OFF (sounds volume can be controlled by the buttom VOLUNME);

PARTICLES: It refers to particles threw when game is over: when selected, ON when unselected, OFF;

CHAT: It refers to open chat messages coming from the table during a game: When selected, ON (a); when unselected, OFF (b).

(a) Open chat will be read by players only though. Very handy if u need rez 2 or more tables, close to each other.
(b) Only table reset and winner info will be displayed. Very handy for rezzing tables at club areas.



POINTS TO WIN: It refers the max points a player should reach to be the winner;

POINTS TO JOIN: It refers the min points a player should have to be "in the board".

PLAY RANGE: It refers how far in meters a player can play the game and be recognized by the table. In this case, player needs to press JOIN to join the game. If it occurs the player is > 64 meters, table will do the self cleaning.

ROUND TIME: Time in seconds, a player can play his turn, starting conter AFTER player rolls the dice.

SKIP IDLE: Time in seconds a player has to roll the dices when its ur turn, otherwise a red skip button will show up (between ROLL and STOP on table) and ANYONE (*) can skip the current player.. Very handy for lazy players who are watching Facebook instead of playing greedy lol).

(*) Player won`t able to skip him/herself though.

OBS: When SKIP IDLE is selected to 0 (zero) it will be considered as disabled during the game.


SKIP POINTS: It refers the points given to who skips a player. A such nice incentive to skip lazy players :)

VOLUME: As name says, it controls the volume of sound from table.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun!

Hello folks,
im planning to open a Venice theme sim.. unfortunately havent found nothing around HG (mesh preferred..), please if anoyone know a shop where i can found someting interesting, can contact me?
thx^^

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.

Beccca Baxton passed away December 24, 2025 of a brain tumor discovered in November.

Beccca was known for singing in SL and OpenSim. She will be missed by many.

Rest in Eternal Peace Beccca and thank you for the music!

This is a warning about trinity triunity... this person installed a very bad skript on my regions... i took the whole server offline ... i am so sorry....
.
Summary: The script is a **radical cleanup machine**. It scans the environment, detects **objects with identical positions**, and deletes one of them **via console command**. Meanwhile, the object containing the script systematically teleports around the region. This is not harmless—it's an administrative tool.

Now, let's take it apart.

The script is written in **LSL with OpenSim extensions (osConsoleCommand)**. This **would not** work in Second Life. It requires **Sim admin rights**.

What it actually does:

First: **On/Off switch via touch**
When you click the object:

* Sensor is turned on or off
* Every 5 seconds, it scans a 20-meter radius
* Additionally, a timer runs every 15 seconds

Second: **Sensor collects object IDs**
The sensor finds **all passive objects** (i.e., not avatars) within its range. It saves:

* the **Keys (IDs)** of the objects
* later their **Positions**

This involves double data collection, which is a first warning sign: the logic isn't particularly elegant.

Third: **Comparison of Object Positions**
Now comes the critical part.

The script checks:

> Do two objects have exactly the same position?

If yes, it assumes:

> One of them is a duplicate / ghost / bugged object

Fourth: **DELETION via Console Command**

If the positions are identical, this command is executed:

`delete object id `

This is **not a normal LSL command**.

This is a **direct server command**.

If successful:

* The object is immediately removed from the region

* A message is displayed in the public chat

This is permanent. No undo. No recycle bin.


Fifth: **Region Grid Teleport**
In parallel, the object itself moves through the region:

* Start at (4,4,4)
* Step size: 10 meters
* Grid up to 250 meters in X/Y/Z
* Then repeats

This is essentially a **3D scanner** that attempts to systematically scan the entire region to achieve sensor range everywhere.


* ... What the script **doesn't** do well (and this is important):

* It deletes objects **solely based on identical position**, not:

* same owner

* same name

* same prim content
* Two legitimate objects can be in exactly the same position → **incorrect deletion**
* Lists are completely cleared with every sensor event → inefficient
* The position comparison `vector == vector` is extremely harsh, but unfortunately often the trigger for OpenSim ghosts

What the script **is probably intended** to do:

* Remove ghost prims
* Delete duplicate bug objects after region crashes
* Automatic region cleanup without manual intervention

What it **actually** is:

An **automatic object executor** with very crude decision logic.


My clear verdict:

The script is **potentially useful**, but **dangerous** if:

* it's running in a populated area
* you're not the sole owner
* you don't know exactly which objects overlap where

It belongs in:

* test areas
* admin sandboxes
* repair situations after server problems

Not in:

* residential areas
* galleries
* role-playing sims
* anything you're passionate about

If you want, I can:

* build a **safe version** (owner check, name filter, logging)
* explain **how to detect ghost prims without deleting them**
* or completely **disarm** the script and just have it report only

This thing is a chainsaw robot. You can use it to remove weeds – or the whole garden.

this is the description in german:
.
Kurzfassung: Das Skript ist eine **radikale Aufräum-Maschine**. Es scannt die Umgebung, erkennt **Objekte mit identischer Position** und löscht eines davon **per Konsolenbefehl**. Nebenbei teleportiert sich das Objekt, in dem das Skript steckt, systematisch durch die Region. Das ist nichts Harmloses – das ist ein administratives Werkzeug.

Jetzt sauber auseinandergebaut.

Das Skript ist in **LSL mit OpenSim-Erweiterungen (osConsoleCommand)** geschrieben. In Second Life würde das so **nicht** funktionieren. Es setzt **Sim-Admin-Rechte** voraus.

Was es konkret tut:

Erstens: **An/Aus-Schalter per Touch**
Wenn du das Objekt anklickst:

* Sensor wird eingeschaltet oder ausgeschaltet
* Alle 5 Sekunden scannt es einen Radius von 20 Metern
* Zusätzlich läuft ein Timer alle 15 Sekunden

Zweitens: **Sensor sammelt Objekt-IDs**
Der Sensor findet **alle passiven Objekte** (also keine Avatare) im Umkreis.
Er speichert:

* die **Keys (IDs)** der Objekte
* später deren **Positionen**

Dabei wird doppelt gesammelt, was schon ein erstes Warnsignal ist: Die Logik ist nicht besonders elegant.

Drittens: **Vergleich der Objektpositionen**
Jetzt kommt der kritische Teil.

Das Skript prüft:

> Haben zwei Objekte exakt dieselbe Position?

Wenn ja, wird angenommen:

> Eines davon ist ein Duplikat / Ghost / Bug-Objekt

Viertens: **LÖSCHEN per Konsolenbefehl**
Bei identischer Position wird dieser Befehl ausgeführt:

`delete object id `

Das ist **kein normales LSL**.
Das ist ein **direkter Server-Befehl**.

Wenn erfolgreich:

* Objekt wird sofort aus der Region entfernt
* Meldung im öffentlichen Chat

Das ist endgültig. Kein Undo. Kein Papierkorb.

Fünftens: **Region-Raster-Teleport**
Parallel dazu bewegt sich das Objekt selbst durch die Region:

* Start bei (4,4,4)
* Schrittweite: 10 Meter
* Raster bis 250 Meter in X/Y/Z
* Dann von vorne

Das ist im Prinzip ein **3D-Scanner**, der versucht, die gesamte Region systematisch abzufahren, um überall Sensor-Reichweite zu haben.

Was das Skript **nicht** gut macht (und das ist wichtig):

* Es löscht Objekte **allein aufgrund identischer Position**, nicht:

* gleicher Owner
* gleicher Name
* gleicher Prim-Inhalt
* Zwei legitime Objekte können exakt gleich liegen → **falsches Löschen**
* Listen werden jedes Sensor-Event komplett geleert → ineffizient
* Positionsvergleich `vector == vector` ist extrem hart, aber bei OpenSim-Ghosts leider oft genau der Trigger

Was das Skript **wahrscheinlich gedacht ist** zu tun:

* Ghost-Prims entfernen
* Duplizierte Bug-Objekte nach Region-Crashes löschen
* Automatische Region-Bereinigung ohne manuelles Eingreifen

Was es **real** ist:

Ein **automatischer Objekt-Exekutor** mit sehr grober Entscheidungslogik.

Mein klares Urteil:

Das Skript ist **potenziell nützlich**, aber **gefährlich**, wenn:

* es in einer belebten Region läuft
* du nicht alleiniger Owner bist
* du nicht genau weißt, welche Objekte sich wo überlappen

Es gehört in:

* Testregionen
* Admin-Sandboxen
* Reparatursituationen nach Serverproblemen

Nicht in:

* Wohnregionen
* Galerien
* Rollenspiel-Sims
* irgendetwas mit Herzblut

Wenn du willst, kann ich dir:

* eine **sichere Version** bauen (Owner-Check, Name-Filter, Logging)
* erklären, **wie man Ghost-Prims ohne Löschen erkennt**
* oder das Skript komplett **entwaffnen** und nur reporten lassen

Das Ding ist ein Kettensägenroboter. Man kann damit Unkraut entfernen – oder den ganzen Garten.

When I think of Halloween, I think of the story of "The Headless Horseman" which is pretty scary, so I made a couple versions of it, my personal favorite is the flaming one. They are both in the Fantasy area of the mall - stop by and check them out, they can add a spookiness to your halloween decor. Blessings and much love, Lavia
