Livin' Blues entstand 1967 in Den Haag als eine der prägendsten Bluesrock-Gruppen der Niederlande. Gegründet von dem Gitarristen Ted Oberg, der als zentrale Figur der Band gilt, begann die Formation zunächst mit wechselnden Besetzungen.

This is a short video I made for a new series…
So people who can’t make it here can feel what it’s like to walk beside me…

I built this place… and I wrote the music you hear with it…
Shared in one continuous walk… no rush… no cuts…

If you can’t be here in person…
This is the next best thing…

Welcome to Jackson Square on the Lagniappe Grid…
Laissez les bons temps rouler…

Thank you to Mr. Belgarion Silmaril for requesting an increase to the range for Media on a prim form 512 to ...well I made it 10000:-)
Keep the requests and bugs coming...thank you!
I also fixed a bug with texture choice for Sunrise and Sunset, thanks to Angel Dreamscape.

howdy folks. First I want to say thank you for all your kind and fabulous comments about the sim mousetrip. As I mentioned some time before.. I remove the direct teleport and integrate the sim Mousetrap to the teleporter on the sim cockatiels paradise. Its just better for me to handle..that´s the only reason. Greetings and thank you again.

***OPENSIM ONLINE WEATHER SYSTEM V7 *** UPDATED RELEASE ****

************** WHAT’S NEW IN V7 COMPARED TO V6? ************
## Security and User Interface Enhancements

### Enhanced Security Features:
- **Secure API Key Storage**: API keys and sensitive location data are no longer stored in the root prim's description field. Instead, they are securely stored in a dedicated child prim named "API_key", preventing unauthorized viewing or copying of this information.

- **Automatic Data Protection on Ownership Change**: When object ownership is transferred, the script automatically detects the ownership change and securely erases all sensitive configuration data, including API keys and location settings, requiring the new owner to reconfigure the system.

### Improved User Interface:
- **Comprehensive Status Display**: The main menu now provides a complete overview of all current settings, offering visual confirmation of the configured parameters at a glance. Users can immediately see their city/location, coordinates, API key status, update interval, message preferences, and online/offline mode without needing to navigate through multiple screens.

These enhancements provide both improved security for sensitive data and better user experience through clear, immediate feedback on all system settings.


********* IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REZZED THE OPENSIM ONLINE WEATHER SYSTEM IN YOUR REGION, YOU ONLY NEED TO REPLACE THE WEATHER CONTROLLER for the V7 version!
All other scripts remain the same and will continue to work perfectly (including those from V5 or V6).

- READ ME PLEASE!! (ENGLISH) v.10JAN26 (NOTECARD).


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚙️ HOW TO USE
1 – Get your API Key
API = Application Programming Interface. It lets the weather script fetch live data from a forescast website.
Steps:
Go to: https://openweathermap.org
Sign up or log in (website will prompt you to paid subscription but choose the free one!!)
Open your profile → API keys
Create a key → copy it

2 – Rez the Weather Sculpts (You will find them inside the box "WEATHER SCULPT SET V7 (BOX)".

Rez the weather sculpts across your region - around buildings etc -
I recommend going on infra-red mode (Firestorm) by clicking CONTROL+ALT+T.
Select all sculpts →LINK THEM ALL and insert on the root prim (just select them all) and insert the script called "OpenSIM ONLINE SCULPT V7 (SLAVE)". (*)

(*) THIS SCRIPT AND ALL OTHERS USED ON THIS SYSTEM can be found at the box called "SCRIPTS USED V7 (BOX)".

3- Insert some of the textures included on the "TEXTURES FOR SCULPTS V7 (BOX)" that can be found inside the box "SCRIPTS USED V7 (BOX)"
Textures on the root prim of the linked sculpts MUST be "clear,r1,r2,r3,r4,sr1,sr2,sr3,s1,s2,s3 and s4 to script work perfectly. By default, all pieces of sculpts have already the needed textures so to not worry :)

4 –SET UP THE SYSTEM:
Rez the controller "OpenSIM Online Weather Controller V7 (MASTER) 02 prims" and click it. A dialog menu (blue menu) will prompt:
-> Choose the name of the city (English only - other languages or misspelled, script won`t fetch information). If a city name like Springfield (USA) is selected and there are 5 on that country, script will select a random one - on these cases, type "Springfield,IL,US" (Illinois, United States) so script will fetch information from the correct place. Another option is also select by lat/lon mode (latitude/longitude).
-> Click again, and insert the API KEY generated by the website.
-> Click once more, now insert the interval. and that s it.
It will send information to all soundboxes, sculpts, thunderboxes rezzed if in within same region!
Rez the display board next to the controller "OpenSIM Online Weather Display Board V7 (SLAVE) 11 prims"
-> Click the controller and click the "Update Now" button.
This action updates the info on the display board.

***** Please be patient. All changes on the dialog box, script may take up to 15 seconds to fetch the information!*****************************

5 – Optional: Add Sound & Thunder & Cloud & Nothern Lights:
Plays drizzle, rain, and blizzard sounds when told by the controller..
If no bad weather: plays birds (day) or crickets (night).

In version V7, there are now two types of SoundBoxes:

OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V7 (SLAVE MAIN);
OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V7 (SLAVE SLAVE).

How to set up:

-Rez as many “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V7 (SLAVE SLAVE)” objects as needed in your region (optional);
- Link them all together;
- Rez only one “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V7 (SLAVE MAIN)”;
- Link all the previously linked SoundBoxes to this one.

Important: For this to work, “OpenSIM ONLINE SOUNDBOX V7 (SLAVE MAIN)” must be the root prim (the last object selected when linking). It is the box that contains the script.

And voilà — you now use one script for all SoundBoxes, and the sound will be emitted from each of them in near-perfect synchronization.

(ps) I recommend rezing them close to buildings or common public areas. DO NOT rez the sounboxes too close to each other. Believe me ,Spam sound will be unpleasant for the visitors and it won`t sound natural to your ears!

SOUNDBOXES NOW HAVE THE NIGHT SOUND (THE CRICKETS) SUPPRESSION!
* The script checks the object’s latitude and the current month!
* Tropics (≤ latitude 30°) → night sounds always play.
* Polar regions (≥ latitude 60°) → night sounds are always blocked.
* Mid-latitudes (latitude 30°–60°) → gradual suppression:

* In winter months (depending on latitude), night sounds are blocked.
* In summer months, "night" sounds play normally.
* The script stops "night" sound if suppression applies; "day","rain", "drizzle" and "snow" sounds always play normally.

-> Opensim ONLINE THUNDERBOX V7 (SLAVE):
Plays a thunder sound and flashes lightning when told by the controller.
When rezzed, by default it is invisible, please go to infra-red mode (control alt+t) to see and resize it to your needs.
PS. To test it, please add as a hud (or just add it) the "OPENSIM
Thunder Caller (MASTER) HUD" and click it. Once you see the size and position are ok, this script is no longer necessary.
Be patient. Thunder sound and the lighting will show on a random interval of time from 10 seconds to 05 minutes.

-> OpenSIM ONLINE CLOUD V7 (SLAVE):
4x4 sized sculpt cloud to rez in your region - It will show when the weather conditions told by the controller when it asks to. Otherwise it will remain invisible.
No setup needed

-> OpenSIM ONLINE Aurora Borealis V7 (SLAVE).
4x4 sized mesh to rez in your region - it will show only at nights (sun position 8 degrees above the horizon ,script will be told its DAY!

5- I rezzed the "OpenSIM Online Cloud V7 (SLAVE)" and I don`t see anything!
- If you have rezzed the controller before, if it fetches info from website and it says it not cloudy", the "OpenSIM Online Cloud V7 (SLAVE)" will remain invisible (100% transparent). - One still can see it on infra red mode (CONTROL+ALT+T)

6- Why all these boxes with the scripts, sounds, textures? Do I need them?
- It just in case one deletes something by accident so one can always recover it. Also, I do it for preventing assets lost -specially if one is from other grid!

7- I rezzed my controller, set all scupts and soundbox. I select city but nothing work. What could it be?
- Make sure city is well written in English. Also, it happens that on 1st time one rezzes the controller, it can act like this. so just reset script!

Girls Power & Richi on the Time Bandit
Today at 8 p.m. 11SLT
Girls Power didn't just knock on the door – it kicked it down. While the world is still searching for its compass, we've already reset our sails.
The helm is now in the clutches of Darkwolf. Anyone who thought time could be tamed didn't count on us. We're not just hijacking a ship – we're taking control of the moment.
Girls Power & Richi auf der Time Bandit
Heute ab 20.00 Uhr
Die Girls Power hat nicht nur angeklopft – sie hat die Tür eingetreten. Während die Welt noch nach dem Kompass sucht, haben wir bereits die Segel neu gesetzt.
Das Ruder liegt nun in den Klauen von Darkwolf. Wer glaubte, die Zeit ließe sich zähmen, hat die Rechnung ohne uns gemacht. Wir kapern nicht nur ein Schiff – wir übernehmen die Kontrolle über den Moment.

Coming to Ozone Miniverse
IMAGE - Image Matrix Action Game Engine

This may be a little premature because Helga and I have much work to do on this. I plan on BETA TESTING IMAGE soon then Unleashing this project Free and Open Source to the community.

IMAGE started out as a GAME so my Lunati friends can log into my grid and play. The game component is intense arena styled gaming with a killboad. Unlike other game systems which require you to build your sim around it, IMAGE works around YOU. It has a weapon tracking system which detaches your weapon if you leave the arena. There is also an attract mode where the NPC monsters put on a show while awaiting contestants to enter the arena. There are too many features to list here, so more details shall be revealed once the test commences.

The biggest feature of IMAGE will be the modular ADMIN PANEL. Simply drop in code snippets and the admin menu will pick them up letting you interface with them: including complete ActiveNPC integration. Beta test announcement will be forthcoming when I am ready for all of you to come and try to break this thing. Peace & Love!
