These guys have no guts, they sew seeds of discord, and they are all around GRUMPkins! And they make a really cute addition to your Halloween Décor. You will find them at the arrival point for the mall, but be sure to shop around once you get here and you may just find what you're wishing for. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Time to shine! I hope your computer is powerful enough to handle this :-))

The longer I live, the more I realize I do not KNOW anything.

Does that mean I now have Wisdom?

You’ve just arrived in OpenSim, and already the vastness overwhelms you?
The lands are wide, the faces still unknown, and the night slowly falls...
But fear not. There is a place—somewhere between the mists and digital hills—
where a light still watches over.

The Castle of Castaway opens its doors to wandering souls.
Ancient stones, cozy beds, crackling fireplaces...
And above all, that comforting silence that wraps around your dreams.

Here, you will find rest.
Here, you will be safe.
Well… except on full moon nights.
Mouah ah ah ah… 😈

All items from my inventory are now available in the store! I still have textures to go through but will do that tomorrow. It's been a hard slog! But the end is near. Once that is all done I can get back to what I love to do! Please remember and give it time for boxes to reach you before attempting to buy another one.

I will work on the rest of the sim later on to make it all pretty! And yes you may see a little store tucked away in the corner with a big ? on it, time will tell what that will be, but I am sure it will be exciting for all regardless! Thank you for putting up with me whilst I do all this, I really do appreciate you all ♥

This is detail from my sword Excalibur (my reimagining of that magic weapon), a mix of mesh and prim with completely new PBR textures. Although it is unscripted, I have included the pieces necessary for a weapons scripter: an unsheathed sword, a sheath by itself, and a sheathed sword. There is also a Durendal Sword that has been reworked in silver and black.

Walk across the lobby and through the Medieval doorway to find them.

Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran (Church of Iceland) parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland. At 74.5 metres (244 ft) tall, it is the largest church in Iceland and among the tallest structures in the country

Reposting this as it is an important fix any grid can and should run. There is a patch in core Opensimulator code as of 2/15 to allow outfits to load correctly without breaking links. This has been a bug forever, and was caused by loading IARs. For the those grids that do not use core's latest 0.9.3.1 dev (PBR), I have SQL for grid owners to fix their broken links in outfits. DreamGrid has this patch for future uploads, and also will run this SQL to repair all old outfits. You need do nothing except update to the latest DreamGrid 6.02 (Non PBR) or 7.02 (PBR). DreamGrid will automatically fix old as well as IAR uploads, even in V6 series which is Opensim 0.9.2 ( Non PBR )

Mysql SQL code is this:
use robust; //with whatever your database is. For standalones it may be 'opensim' as there is no robust.
show databases; // will show you which databases you have and their names.

use robust;
update inventoryfolders set type = 47 where foldername='My Outfits' and type = -1;

This fixes all old links. You need the patched Opensim to fix future links, OR you can run this again after loading an IAR. You do not have to do this, links can be fixed in the viewer but it's a tad tedious.

Grids will need to compile dev master from Feb 15 or later to make this automatic fix when loading of IARS. If you can't do that, just run this SQL after any IAR load.

Please be aware you should backup your robust database first, just in case. The details for coders is at http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=9180

Two new Tea Houses are now available at the Emporium. Each structure is a mix of prim and mesh and is finished with both PBR and standard textures. Each Tea House comes with a Tea Set Seating Group, working doors, and lighting controls for the interior and exterior. Each structure is about 360 prims, fits a 27M x 27M base area, and has modify and copy permissions. Matching garden pagodas are on display there as well and are also available.

In the lobby, click the Japanese teleport sign on the left, then you will see the Tea Houses across the way on the other side of the garden area that you can walk through. Alternately, you can walk out of the lobby and take a left until you come to a Japanese bridge with torii gates that takes you through the main gate to the Japanese area. All of those items are available as well.

Coming up next, I will be working on a temple and a shrine, followed by a more opulent home, and finally a castle. I will eventually wrap up this style with multiple accessories.

Hello all
I would like to explain, why it is better to use animesh instead of NPC. If you just need one or 4 NPCs on your sim then it is not really important to read this. But if you want to have a population on your sim like I have on Big City Life with 400 moving people then it is very relevant.
NPCs take a lot of performance of a sim. It is very resource heavy like the land itself (because of physics) or Avis. Animesh people you can calculate like trees you pant on your sim.
Many still believe you can't do much with animesh. Just put some animation in it to move or dance a bit. But that's not really true. We all know the animesh horses of Roland Francis and what you can do with it. It is similar with all other. Here a video to demonstrate that you can even have sex with it and let them walk around.
https://rumble.com/v5uxybh-demo-for-animesh.html
Usually everyone would use NPC for this. There is one advantage for NPCs, of course, because you can sit them on moving vehicles. But this is the only advantage of NPCs. My Jockeys at the horse race track are also NPCs. There is no easy other way to solve this with animesh Jockeys on the horses.
But for all other things you can easily use animesh people. If you need help for scripting stuff then you just need to ask any AI LLM today. They are already that good that they can script for you in OSSL a script to get all working what you want the animesh do.
For building good looking animesh people it is recommended to use the Ruth or Roth body as root prim and add all other to this body. It has just to be rigged. All stuff you attach to the body has to be rigged. Even if you want to let an Animesh man or woman ride a bicycle then the bike has to be rigged and you put in the matching animation with a route script. Very easy to do. All handmade.
But since newer times you have already really good option to let AI create your animesh. I don't talk about complicated routines you connect your LLM with Blender through Python script or such. There is now very easy solution everyone can do on a website. This is called Meshy AI.
Meshy creates your animesh just by telling him through text. You get first 4 examples as Statue and you choose the best you like. Then you can even give the AI an image to create texture for this figure. But you can let the AI decide what texture is the best. Just give him some hints what it should have. That's all. Then you can let meshy rig the animesh man or woman or monster or animal or whatever you want to have. Meshy knows usually where to rig at arms and legs etc. But for this the statue should be symmetric. You can also rig unsymmetric but then you have to edit a bit by yourself. Usually you get symmetric statue anyway and then every kid can create a rigged statue as animesh. Download this as blender file or any other file and put it in blender to convert it in dae file. Then upload this dae file and you have a new animesh inworld. Just put in the animation script with animation and it moves. We have in opensim now an expert for creating animesh with meshy AI. Ask Prince Amor. He is creating every day tons of new animesh for opensim. And all created with AI. Usually he is showing off his new creation now as Avi on Lbsa. Yes you can also use all this as Avatar too. The complexity is very low compared to usual Avis or NPCs.
