I had some time to play with PBR thank you @FerdFrederix for suggesting I try it, and as you can see it makes the jewelry look so much better!! Nice! But that means I have my work cut out for me, I have lots of jewelry to update. I will have a PBR section at the store, keeping the old classic textures because not all grids support PBR, this is the first piece I will get it in the store today sometime, Celtic Knot Picture Locket.

Phantom Rose friends... The grid is going to be down until Feb. I am traveling on a "once in a life time" trip with my husband. I am beyond excited. Since I host my own server, I have to shut down. Being out of the country for that long, there is no way for me to keep Phantom Rose safe and healthy. When I travel in the US, I am able to use my remote link to do many things, but for safety, I have decided to shut down the grid for the duration of my travels. I assure you, Phantom Rose WILL be back! Hopefully, better than ever. I have been running 24/7 since 2019 and I am looking forward to another 5 years in the Opensim Metaverse! Thank you all for your support and I will see you in February 2025!

You can technically configure an opensim server in such a way that you can connect locally AND remotely behind a loopback router... but it... is not ideal. If you configure the User Server (Robust) to run on a domain name (or free subdomain) and your region to run on static IPs, it works.

The local computer can connect by adding the server's lan ip to the grid manager in Singularity (This trick doesnt work in Firestorm).
The host computer must have the server's public IP in it's hosts file.

This configuration causes 3 major problems:
-You MUST use singularity.
-It breaks hypergrid connections (you cant return after teleporting out)
-Firefox has severe issues with reading and editing parcel information including windlight settings.

You will recieve an error in the console reading
"[LAND MANAGEMENT MODULE]: Unable to find parcelID -1"
