Phew musky.....:
after a half eternity of brain bashing, my new zero-lag projekt is finally taking off.
You can grab a copy of the brandnew ZZuperZZwan, in my shop @ ZweetZurroundingZ

I can watch it swimming about endlessly without being bored.
mine is confined to a fairly small pond, but its lively behaviour works for me.
grab a copy, slamm it into your own water, do the menu fiddling and......
enjoy!

In short, I don't think Politics belongs on the OSW page. There is Facebook, Instagram, tictoc and other social media platforms to express our views. Most of us come here to Opensim to escape the BS, and we use the OSW page to see what is new in Opensim, not to have to deal with more ideologies and agendas. Please keep the politics out of the OSW page.

Nous avons l’immense plaisir de vous annoncer la réouverture d’Agartha. Grâce à la générosité d’un ami qui nous offre aujourd’hui un nouveau refuge, ce monde renaît, plus vivant que jamais. Les portes s’ouvrent à nouveau… et l’aventure peut reprendre. Nous vous attendons nombreux pour redonner vie à cet univers qui est aussi le vôtre. À très bientôt, et merci du fond du cœur pour votre fidélité. Vous êtes géniaux.
-----------------------------

We are delighted to announce the reopening of Agartha.

Thanks to the generosity of a friend who has offered us a new refuge, this world is reborn, more alive than ever.

The gates are open once again… and the adventure can begin anew.

We look forward to seeing many of you return to bring life back to this universe, which is yours as well.

See you very soon, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your loyalty. You are amazing.

Just updating teleport system at sim FLORA.
Btw, this is the tp system I`ve released at URBAN MUSEUM - it uses only 1 tp script and on that board from this pic it has 8 destinations! (but can be used for many more!!)

Hey lovely people! Just wanted to give a heads up that is getting veeery busy at work at the moment, in case you see me a bit less active around! Layoff season so...having to do double!
Also last sets I am bringing are much more complex on hudding, blending, masking, which take more time...
Huuugs!

LETS SPREAD POSITIVITY NOT HATE!

Lately I have noticed a lot of drama, hate and bashing towards other people. I try to ignore most of it but lately it has become to much. Why do people feel the need to use hateful words or put someone down.

No matter what religion we are, gender, political views or whatever it is, cant we just agree to disagree.

I have seen a lot of people in my time in Opensim do amazing things, anyone that can DJ, build, script and anything else, is awesome to me. For the ones that constantly tell everyone they are awesome its because they are. They do a lot of things i do not know how to do or cant.

So in conclusion, I would like to say thank you to all creators, builders, scripters, and etc, because without all of you, my regions wouldn't look as good as they do. I may take things and place them and put them together but the credits go to the creators, builders and scripters.

Instead of name calling and tearing people down, lets be a little kinder, lets ignore the negative and worry more about spreading positivity.

Comment's welcome but please be kind :)

Mein geliebtes Weib, meine Siwas
Ich will versuchen dir nur zu versprechen was ich auch halten kann.
Ich kann dir die Welt nicht zu Füssen legen, sie gehört mir nicht.
Ich werde dir keine Sterne mehr vom Himmel holen denn das habe ich schon und du hast deinen Stern.
Ich habe damals gesagt dieser Stern soll dich beschützen und über unsere Liebe wachen. Das hat er getan und uns nach unserer Trennung wieder zusammengeführt.
Vielleicht merkt man erst bei einer Trennung was man wirklich verloren hat.
Wir sind wieder zusammen und nun will ich dich endgültig als meine Frau und werde alles tun dass wir zusammen glücklich sind und unsere Liebe für immer bleibt.
Siwas, du warst immer, du bist und du bleibst für immer mein Baby,

**Starchild Shoppe: A New Home**
Happy Friday Starchild Shoppers!
Starchild Shoppe has moved, and we’re delighted to welcome you to our new home at The Gilded Accord.

hop://shop.gildedaccord.com:8002/Starchild%20Shoppe/

The Gilded Accord is a wider collaborative Hypergrid project, bringing together different creators, communities, and regions while allowing each to keep its own identity.

For Starchild, that means a new setting, new possibilities, and plenty of room for what comes next — while remaining very much the Starchild Shoppe you already know.

If you visit our previous location, you’ll find a sign and landmark that will bring you directly to the new shop.

Thank you for all your support over the years. I’m really looking forward to welcoming you to this next chapter!

Owner of Starchild Shoppe

Celestial Vine Arm Cuff
Inspired by moonlit gardens and flowing vines, this upper arm cuff is designed to add a touch of elegance to fantasy, historical, and everyday avatars alike. The intricate scrollwork and natural iridescence make it equally at home with an evening gown, an elven ensemble, or an Egyptian-inspired look.

💬 Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of messages filled with anger, judgment, and sometimes even hate. And honestly, I find that quite sad.
🤔 Before writing these kinds of messages, maybe we should all take a moment to reflect. Try to understand the why behind things instead of reacting immediately. Behind every person, every project, every decision, there is a story, a context, and reasons we might not fully know.
🌎 We already live in a world where conflicts and wars exist because people no longer take the time to listen to each other. Everyone talks, but very few truly try to understand.
✨ So maybe, at our own small scale, we could try to do better.
🗣️ Instead of posting messages filled with hate or jealousy, why not simply talk to the people involved? Ask questions. Listen to the answers. Try to understand.
🤝 Dialogue has always been more constructive than attacks.
❤️ None of us are perfect, and we all make mistakes. But if we took a little more time to speak to each other with respect, many tensions could simply disappear.
✨ A little more discussion.
🔥 A little less hate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


💬 Ces derniers temps, je vois beaucoup de messages remplis de colère, de jugements et parfois même de haine. Et honnêtement, je trouve ça triste.
🤔 Avant d’écrire ce genre de messages, peut-être devrions-nous tous prendre un instant pour réfléchir. Essayer de comprendre le pourquoi du comment, plutôt que de réagir à chaud. Derrière chaque personne, chaque projet, chaque décision, il y a une histoire, un contexte et des raisons que l’on ne connaît pas forcément.
🌍 Nous vivons déjà dans un monde où les conflits et les guerres existent parce que les gens ne prennent plus le temps de s’écouter. Parce que chacun parle, mais trop peu cherchent réellement à comprendre l’autre.
✨ Alors peut-être que, chacun à notre petite échelle, nous pourrions essayer de faire mieux.
🗣️ Au lieu de publier des messages de haine ou de jalousie, pourquoi ne pas simplement discuter avec les personnes concernées ? Poser des questions. Écouter les réponses. Chercher à comprendre.
🤝 Le dialogue a toujours été plus constructif que l’attaque.
❤️ Personne n’est parfait, et nous faisons tous des erreurs. Mais si nous prenions un peu plus de temps pour nous parler avec respect, beaucoup de tensions pourraient simplement disparaître.
✨ Un peu plus de discussion.
🔥 Un peu moins de haine.

Our latest addition to the Sub-Version mall: The Garden Centre.

Large collection of unique items for your garden - many with a fantasy feel to them.

As always many many items at other stores at Sub-Version Mall.

For all of you interested in animesh: I made a new animated free roaming dragon thats now available for testing peer review. Pick up a copy in my shoppie, read the notecard and knock yourself out!
Lemme know if the notecard was clear enough...its a bit tricky with this roaming script....
Have fun!

Tired of people coming to ur SIM/region/parcel just for copying stuffs? After u had a loot of work on doing it and all u see is.... avatars with arm stretched copying from A to Z? So the "COPY MY ASS" 3D sign is perfect for u.. Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Enjoy :)

Lets wind down from all the partying and roller coaster rides and experience how peaceful a walk in the park with the latest Horse script (now at release 3.3.0081 for UBOde) really is.
Riding the horse as a vehicle is the very best horse(back) riding experience to date. No more gliding off hills. Physically jumping is fun too.
Start your trip at EAS at the East side of Neiferleaf and walk the trail via Nestir where you can excercise physical jumping and barrel racing, the walk via the Northorn region towards Neiferleaf's castle, but beware of dragons and ghost riders.

Start your trip at hop://grid.vibel.eu:8002/Eas/328/458/34 and enjoy the ride.

I'm currently developing a new OpenSim "Front End" - as I've not had much success with others. When its "done" it will be freely available for others to use if they like.

It will feature:
* account creation (automatic or admin approved)
* avatar selection on account creation
* change your grid password
* profile page showing profile pic and about - and also picks (both currently working)
* offline messages (currently working)
* friends list - also showing online status (with a caveat that presense is bad in opensim)
* partnering (send a partner request to another grid member who can accept in the web interfface, and also disilve.
* admin interface where admins can approve new members or suspend existing users
* restart regions if you are estate owner, manager, or grid admin with a high user level
* shutdown or start regions as above permissions
* take oars of regions as above permissions
* restore oars of regions as above permissions

And any other items I add. Currently the system allows you to log in with your grid account and see your profile and offlines. Other things will be added over the next days.

The system is php based - and will have a few php module requirements. Direct database access is used for GETTING some data (currently it only supports MariaDB - and "probably" MySQL) - but no writes will ever be made directly to the database - any WRITES will be by api calls through Robust / Simulator calls.

Merry christmas to you and your loved ones!
We wishing you all peace, joy, and all the best this wonderful holiday has to offer.
May your christmas be filled with love, laughter, and goodwill.
We sending you warm greetings for a season full of blessings.
Crazy and Carmen C&C

Frohe Weihnachten für euch und eure Lieben!
Wir wünschen euch allen Frieden, Freude und alles Gute,
was dieses wundervolle Fest zu bieten hat.
Möge euer Weihnachtsfest voller Liebe, Lachen und Wohlwollen sein.
Herzliche Grüße für eine gesegnete Weihnachtszeit.

Hello, I try to participate by mixing the useful with the pleasant, I wanted to make a gallery of people on Opensim, and I opted for a gallery on Flickr, more easily consultable. For this I need the help of all those who want to participate, without your help, the project will fail because it is about the people of Opensim. I take the photos, I try to capture something special in each of you, if you like it, and to bring out the image of a community in black and white, you have to come into the world to see the colors. Here is the beginning of the gallery. Thank you for your attention, friendly. Send me a message here or in world to help me and dont be shy :)

Bonjour,
Vous ne verrez plus çà, vous ne verrez plus jamais cela.
Le marché de Noël est mort, et ce n'est pas moi qui l'ai cassé !
Merci à tous ceux et toutes celles qui furent présents pendant ces 10 années, merci de votre soutient.
Maintenant c'est fini merci et au revoir.
N.B.: ce marché est l'oeuvre de Freddy Wright sur Francogrid vers 2010, et de personne d'autre.

Hello
This year you won't see that, you won't see that anymore.
The christmas market is dead.
I don't break it.
Thank you to all those who where there during ten years.
Thank you for your support.
Sorry Isn't my fault
Kisses

My condolences @RevTom.

Azraella was one of the most kind and creative friends I had.
I am grateful for the friendship we shared for many years.

Rest in Peace my dear friend, you will be missed.
See you in the next life.

This is now starting my 15th year of trying to improve Opensim with the DreamWorld and DreamGrid systems. I haven't done an OSCC talk for several years so I thought I'd give a quick review of some Opensim stats that I track. This data is based on anonymous data from the DNS servers ns1.outworldz.com and ns2.outworldz.com and the publicity checkbox, which generates XML for the https://outworldz.com/search function. I am also able to count some stats from known 'other' grids via a web crawler that runs hourly scans.

There are now 259 free OARs, and that includes 63 exclusive regions for DreamGrid owners. I licensed these from the creators, and collections are copyrightable. The most popular Public OARS are at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=OAR- and sorted by popularity are IARS at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=IAR- I have many more to upload still.

I do not have access to any of your assets, backups, OARS, IARS, or any personal data. My servers periodically crawl the web looking for Opensim servers from publicly available sources such as my visitor lists, the data I publish and from Hypergrid Business.

DreamGrid goes back to 2011, when it was called DreamWorld. I didn't always track much back then and periodically flushed the database. Since 2018 (6 years) , there have been 5,180 distinct DreamGrid instances. People created 12,280 different grids with it. and 3,378 were online in 2024. In that same time period of six years, I've located 2,935 standard grids. In 2024 alone, there were 2,762 unique DreamGrids online.

Sl has 18,326 private estates, which are equivalent to the 12,334 regions in Dreamgrid. However, we have much larger regions, the equivalent of 73,341 SL regions. An SL region costs $349 to set up, and $209 a month to rent (not own). The first year, one region costs $2,857, the second year $2508.

When you compare DreamGrid with the SL private estates, we've collectively saved $209,535,237 in the first year, and $183,939,228 per year after that.

**1 Year Anniversary of Starchild Shoppe: NEW LOCATION!**
1 year ago Starchild Shoppe opened its doors with a single furniture store. Since then it has expanded beyond what I could have imagined! I want to thank every single person who has crossed its door and has taken the time to thank the effort behind!
I have also heard your feedback, it is why I have consolidated all the stores into their own region with a central store (beauty) at ground, and then skyboxes reachable via the TP board. Super special thanks to Shan Naggins for making it happen! What was going to be just one new store, ended up being an entire mall set up with much more room for growth!

Sim crossing over 4 var regions with followers works extremely well IF you cross calmly and keep your objects close.

FLEETWOOD Hill Plates
Create Your Own Landscape – Flexible, Detailed, and Exactly the Way You Imagine It!

Anyone who has ever designed a large landscape in OpenSim knows the challenges: Traditional sim terrain offers limited possibilities, and conventional mesh terrain plates often have a problem with their textures. When the plates are enlarged, their textures are enlarged as well. Grass suddenly looks enormous, and the landscape loses its natural appearance.

With the FLEETWOOD Hill Plates, a whole new world of landscape design possibilities opens up!

Whether you envision rolling hills, winding hiking trails, expansive valleys, or idyllic lakes – create your own landscape using freely combinable mesh terrain plates without permanently modifying the original sim terrain.

Two Texture Layers – Countless Design Possibilities

What makes the Hill Plates special is their combination of two linked texture layers.

The lower plate features a detailed, baked PBR material that gives the terrain its original surface appearance.

Above it sits a second plate with a traditional Blinn texture, offering additional possibilities for customizing the appearance of your landscape.

This allows you to combine grassy hills with rocky terrain underneath, for example, or create entirely different types of landscape surfaces.

Automatic Texture Tiling – No Manual Adjustments Required!

One of the standout features is the fully automatic texture tiling of the upper plate.

Enlarge or reduce your Hill Plates as you wish: The texture tiling automatically adjusts to the size of each individual terrain plate.

Blades of grass remain blades of grass instead of suddenly turning into giant plants just because you enlarged a terrain plate.

There is no need to calculate texture repetitions or manually readjust tiling values. The system takes care of everything for you.

This makes designing large landscapes much more convenient and ensures a consistent texture scale, even across terrain plates of different sizes.

One Slider, Many Different Surfaces

Would you like to see more grass? Or would you prefer to highlight the rocky PBR surface?

With the adjustable transparency of the upper plate, you decide how strongly the two texture layers are combined.

From a fully visible grass texture to subtle blends and the original PBR surface, a wide variety of effects is possible.

At 100% transparency, the upper plate becomes invisible, revealing the complete PBR material underneath.

This allows you to change the appearance of your landscape without having to create new meshes.

Your Landscape, Your Textures!

The Hill Plates are not limited to the included textures.

Simply replace the texture on the upper plate with your own grass, sand, soil, snow, or stone texture.

Automatic tiling works with your own textures, too!

By using seamlessly repeatable textures, you can create a wide variety of landscape types and give neighboring terrain plates a consistent texture scale.

Combine Freely and Make Changes Anytime

The Hill Plates are freely placeable objects.

You can move, rotate, scale, and combine them to create larger landscapes. Mix different hills, shape valleys, create pathways, or build a secluded lakeside landscape.

Want to change something later? No problem!

Unlike traditional terraforming, you do not need to reshape the actual sim terrain. You can rearrange your landscape at any time, replace individual elements, or completely redesign the entire area.

Thanks to automatic texture tiling, even terrain plates of different sizes can be used while maintaining a consistent texture scale.

The possibilities range from small decorative landscape elements to large, individually designed regions.

The Highlights at a Glance

Two combined texture layers: baked PBR material and a traditional Blinn texture.

Fully automatic texture tiling of the upper plate, even when resizing.

No manual calculation or adjustment of tiling values required.

Adjustable transparency for individual combinations of both texture layers.

Full visibility of the PBR material when the upper plate is set to 100% transparency.

Use your own textures – with automatic tiling included.

Freely movable, rotatable, and scalable mesh landscapes.

Combine different terrain plates to create unique landscapes.

Redesign your landscape at any time without permanently modifying the original sim terrain.
