Feeling the gentle sway of the horse beneath you as it navigates the winding path between towering trees and lush foliage. The sound of the rain tapping against the leaves overhead is soothing, and you feel invigorated by the fresh, tropical air.

As you ride deeper into the forest, you spot vibrant flowers in every color of the rainbow. Some are cascading down from tree trunks, while others are perched high above your head on vines. The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of blossoms and the buzz of hummingbirds flitting from one flower to the next.

Monkey calls echo through the trees, and you catch glimpses of chimpanzees swinging from branch to branch. You marvel at the natural beauty all around you, feeling grateful for the opportunity to experience such wonder.

As the rain begins to taper off, you come upon a clearing where a group of macaws are preening in a tree. Their magnificent colors are a feast for your eyes, and you sit quietly on your horse, just taking it all in.

As the sun begins to peak through the trees, you dismount your horse and take a moment to thank it for the amazing experience. You leave the rainforest feeling refreshed, and in awe of the stunningly beautiful place we call home.

@FerdFrederix suggests "If you were to become a bug, you could do so by wearing an avatar that would allow you to experience the world from a bug's perspective. Imagine visiting a garden where everything is to scale, and you could truly be the bug. You would be able to explore this miniature world, see the intricacies of the plants and flowers, and feel the wind blowing through the grass virtually. You could crawl through tunnels and crevices, and even fly to new heights. Being a bug could give you a whole new appreciation for the world around you and the creatures that inhabit it." this is precisely why I adore Fred. I found a really cute ladybug that he helped to animate and for the last two days, I have been carving out a bug paradise where everything is to scale if you were a bug. I have free avatars that Fred gave us, his Rat, Blue Bird, and I am giving the ladybug so that you can experience the garden too. Please make sure you wear the avatars while visiting the 3x3 Region Goliath Gardens I will be adding new avatars too, I found a great praying mantis!! Thank YOU, Ferd!!! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens

Note to all regarding bug splat crashes



I have visited at length with Josh Boam, owner of Hosting4opensim and Aviworlds. I have also done hundreds of tests.

Sometimes the test results are not what we expect. In this situation, the results are not always logical.

What you have to realize is things can affect your viewer one day, and not at all on the next.

This is super frustrating!!!!!!!

As an example, Monday I crashed 15 times on the new sand dune area at friends V. On Thursday , I came back and never crashed……100 laps….200mph….ultra ….1024 draw. I tried like heck….I could not crash. Pin and Reggie were also racing with me……Reggie had 2 crashes, Pin had one…… but nothing like the nonstop crashes on Monday.

I decided to try a new land layout , so I loaded a new raw file and placed a few mesh hills on it. I instantly crashed even at slow speeds.

I share this so you understand that what happens one day may or may not happen the next.

Do I care about bug splats? Yesssss
I still want you to let me know if you get more than one.

Now I want to share some thoughts from Josh Boam. Josh is not perfect, but he is highly intelligent on the subject. Josh feels

* 99% certain it is a viewer issue….but we are still watching and testing
* Happens to him too at aviworlds, some days not at all, some days bad. Happens to other friends at osg sometimes
* He understands that this is a Firestorm issue. He has used other browsers and not had issues
* Firestorm is supposed to be correcting things on next release…..we will see
* He said the issue is related to the amount of mesh in a area and how firestorm “sees” that mesh
* You could enter a region with no mesh objects and bug splat……if so, take a look at what you and others are wearing.
* The more mesh in an area, the more likely to have firestorm viewer issues
* This is NOT related to our system backups…… we back up every hour on the hour.
* The more grid hopping we do, the more likely we are to get corruption in our cache
* I love to grid hop…..so might have to do the total clean more than once

Solutions

1. Try using a viewer other than firestorm if you want. Please report any results to me………or
2. An in depth cache cleaning if you prefer to use Firestorm. To do this you need to do a full uninstall of firestorm when not using it. Follow these steps: *push windows key plus r This will open the run box. Now type %appdata% in the run box and enter. Delete any folder in that related to viewer. after deleting all these files reinstall firestorm, add grid again. If you have friends avi, and start firestorm.

Some parts of this still make no sense, such as the fact that I have mesh on Friends I, but not crashed there.

Realize that open sim is a delicate balance of your system, your connection, the server, the software and the viewer.

We are doing our best to get you more answers. Please try these things and let me know results.

Communication is important…..I need to know what is happening .

Josh and I are monitoring and testing….but we need your help!

I appreciate you all!

Lunaria Emporium is my flagship store located on Wolf Territories Grid, where you'll find unique products created solely by me that can be purchased with Gloebits, or with other pay options through links to the Kitely Market.

The central store is large, with multiple rooms that include themes such as Christmas, Gothic, Vampire, Arcane Magic, Castles, Steampunk Airships, Medieval, Japanese/Asian, Greek and Roman, Statuary, Decor, freebies, large architecture in multiple styles, and large Venues.

Surrounding the central rotunda are large viewing parcels at ground level where you can walk through all of the structures available for purchase and fully experience each build. They can be accessed by teleport boards, bridges, flying, or taking a boat ride.

There is a freebies section inside the central store with several items free to anyone. Also available for free are the Ruth 2.0 and Roth 2.0 mesh avatars.

Important Note: Use Shared Environment and higher graphics to see the region properly. As you explore the various parcels, the sky settings will change to fit the theme.

Many of my products can also be found on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market?store=13957705
