Holoneon Welcome ^Adult

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

added XMPP to the grid, so you can chat with your friends with a client like Gajim or Conversations. just log into chat.holoneon.com with your first.last and holoneon password. there are two auto-groups that sync, all users and friends in your FL. I will work on bridging the chat with os im.

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

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

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.
