Holoneon Welcome ^Adult

My Suitcase - I have heard recent complaints about the system. When you travel to another grid your inventory is blocked except for 1) items you are already wearing and 2) items in "My Suitcase".

At Holoneon we decided to make it user configurable. If you want to turn off the "My Suitcase" feature and have access to your full inventory when going to an HG destination, you can issue a command in local chat. You can also check the status and re-enable My Suitcase using a command.

Here are the commands:

Commands

/19341 suitcase on
/19341 suitcase off
/19341 suitcase status
/19341 suitcase default

"default" turns it "on" (the Holoneon grid default)

NOTE: you have to set your preference _before_ teleporting to an HG destination.

We have a new automatic machine translation module for chat tested in dev grid ready for Holoneon. There are no huds or rez balls or annoying repeated popups.
The module supports libretranslate, google-nmt, and google-llm translation engines. So you can run a local instance of libretranslate on your server if you want for free, or you can get your key for google api / or google llm.
the first time you land on the grid you get a dialog box to choose your language, or you can opt out. it will store your preference in the database and every time you visit the grid the language is set. you can change in local with simple commands /884422 EN (or ES, DE, PT, etc) set language. /884422 off /884422 status
The module is optimized to only perform one translation per pair, per chatting av. so if there are 5 english users, 2 portuguese and 3 german, it will only translate once per en-de-pt. you can download from github and build or you can pay me to install it on your grid.

We have a new mapping system that's standalone. turning off map generation in opensim.ini and the new system runs outside of opensim and uses SixLabors.ImageSharp. This solves some GC issues i've noticed doesn't torque the opensim region server.

it's a relief map with height better represented than warp. here's a comparison. note that the region in the warp3d map is actually mostly grass not sand so warp3d is off a bit i suppose?

currently in dev i will be moving new mapping system to holoneon grid later today

Jetpack with real flames! flames light when you are in fly mode. Touch it for TP menu.
we use cold-burning flame propulsion to avoid melting latex

migration begins! after about a year of running we're making some changes to assetd server. originally it stored assets in ipfs and kept local zstd compressed files on each region server. this burned up alot of drive space and 10 years down the road just isn't sustainable. So I'm getting rid of ipfs and storing all assets in s3 bucket. assetd pulls the assets on request, fixes broken ones if needed. with squid cache between assetd and opensim things are much faster. squid keeps current assets in ram for fast loading and stores less active assets in an optimized file structure. we can adjust the levels to increase ram and drive cache. i'm currently moving 2,583,234 assets into s3 bucket. after that's complete we just need to restart the grid, shouldn't be any downtime during the transfer though. on dev server assets load super fast. so we hope to have a better experience on holoneon grid in the next few days.

I put out a new "MakeMe" box. it has adult animation HUD + scan/controller HUD + a skirt for LaraX and Reborn. The victim wears the special skirt. The control AV wears the Adult Animation HUD and the MakeMe Scan/Controller HUD. With the scan hud it finds appropriate victims in range and forces them into the animations from the adult hud. it's consensual non-consensual fun.

Ben Dover was the secret code name for the engineer behind the SR71. I recall seeing a documentary about ages ago and started cracking up when he said the code name he was using at the time.

We have a July 4th celebration tomorrow come visit us. It's July 4th everywhere even if it's not a holiday.!! so come have fun with your friends this Saturday!

Here's my first texture "painting" test using blender. I made a module that creates a texture for any region on the grid
Region (Hwyl Emoticon) # terrain skin generate 3b639da6-b435-4711-a757-a23c3b928c1d
Then you can export as DAE and import into blender and use the texture tools to apply images/paint on it/.etc then export as glTF or whatever, put it on your region
I don't have it automated for users yet but if you want a mesh of your Holoneon Grid terrain to experiment on let me know it takes seconds to create.

Come to the optional pool party at Holoneon! I just made a three-seater Elvispinkalicious HCV (hovercraft vehicle) that's futuristic and powered by JiggleBeans. the back passenger can be a pet and stick their head out the window

New services added in Holoneon Police Station. Just touch the board to add your selection.

Virtual Will $20.00
Virtual Cemetary Plot $50.00
Virtual Mausoleum $250.00
Virtual Cremation $35.00
Virtual Deadstone $120.00
Virtual Marriage $20.00
Virtual Divorce $25.00

next version of os pricing based on cost. regions/prims/scripts etc. an average user with a region and a house cost is around $1 per month for example. v3 when i get to it will tie directly into region server to get metrics on actual use. like running scripts, physical objects, npcs and avatars

Colorful fountain for your region. Color panel lets you select color or programmed sequences like Party!, Rainbow, Random, Sunset. Beautiful blue water incl. free Washington Monument Replica. Have Fun!

We imported an oar from another grid during a transfer and it had a botched bowling alley in it. Didn't realize it was replicating "physical" bowling pins all over the grid. lol. it got to the point where nobody could move like walking in molasses rubber bands. So I made this module to put physics to sleep when nobody is around. :) so we spent all day hunting down every last bowling pin and destroying it, which was tricking because they weren't showing up in area search and many of them were in 0,0,0 corners of regions all over the grid so we had to excavate and go deep-sea diving to find them. So now the grid is running smooth and no crashes. yay. The module is here maybe it's useful. it puts physical prims to sleep if nobody is on the region so it reduces the work of the physics engine. If someone drops by it magically wakes up all the physical prims. https://opensimworld.com/post/131135

Testing UTF-8 First/Last name and profiles. I've made changes on the server to enable this functionality on Holoneon Grid. Probably doesn't work to TP off-grid, but it's a first test. Unfortunately the viewers are still seemingly stuck in the year 2003 and don't allow UTF8 in FirstName/LastName login fields, but it's a simple patch and rebuild to allow PrintableUTF8NoSpace instead of boring ASCII :) I think a good number of users or potential users are in countries that aren't limited to English characters. :)

New Feature added. Create an account in Firestorm. Enter desired First Name and Last Name in Firestorm login at bottom of your screen, then desired password in password field. If the account already exists it will attempt to log you in. If the account does not exist it will magically create a new account for you and log you in.

need to add hg.holoneon.com:80 to grid manager (Control + p) in viewer, then find OpenSim tab near bottom.

supposedly a hop link should add it, maybe you can try.

Person told me today that it's weird. That I should just have account creation like Second Life. Thanks for the suggestion, you gonna open up your pocket book lady? :) There's plenty of grids out there, so have fun!

testing Avatar Dehydration/Rehydration. We modified the teleporter code to speed up TPs especially cross-continental. should be live this evening if all goes well. The process is user teleports - > appears dehydrated and sent to IPFS -> minimal av appears on destination region -> appearance rehydrated -> yay

beta testing kubo/IPFS - backed asset server. if your regions are spread out in different continents like an octopus and the head is the robust server 'brain' you can run IPFS nodes on each region. Working on the brain node next, hopefully replace fsassets. I'm using content hashing to reduce dups, for example 500 blank notecards is only 1 blank notecard. code at https://codeberg.org/fionasweet/assetd it works as a cache for fsassets at the moment but still WIP
