Muck What They Think
A new and quality assured 100% cool outfit at oh HELLO. Proper pigtails. Puddle boots. Overalls with a "muck what they think" patch. (Takes a closer look) Oh my! Somebody mucked up that patch! But there is also a way cool skull patch and a skull design on the puddle boots. Why? I don't know. But it's way cool! As always, you get all fat pack items and a preset body alpha hud.

A reminder. Outfits without the "quality assured" label may be missing items due to asset loss following a grid attack. I'm working to fix the missing asset issue, and you can help. Each outfit vendor has an "oh HELLO Outfit Status Report" note card. DELETE the sentence on the note card that does NOT apply:
* OK (All assets found and all textures present)
* NOT OK (Assets and/or textures missing)
Then drop the report note card into the mailbox next to the oh HELLO shop sign.

Thanks!

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

In the spirit of new beginnings, today I did a small renovation at Encantada.
Things were getting crowded in the spring/summer area and well, I've started work on some "Fantasy" items. I didn't have a good spot for them so I've made a new area for "Enchanted" items.
I've moved just a few things over there already and will have a new release in the next couple of days.
I'll be keeping Halloween in the fall area and Easter in the spring area for now.

Hope you have a great start to 2022 :)

When I was building my home sims, I discovered I needed rocks and well, I couldn't find what I wanted. Hence, I made rocks and a sky island, I also made some for the beach with flat tops for sunbathing. You never know where you will want to sunbathe.

Well, I made the male goldfinch and afterwards I felt like I really should have done the female as well. So, I did. My apologies to anyone that took the box yesterday, I added the females to the same box. I just felt like he looked lonely.

Well, I released a novelty item today. Every once in a while (well, maybe more often than that) I get obsessed with something goofy. I always thought stick men were cute, don't know why, I just do. So, I made animesh and avatar stick people. There are regular ruth size and also tiny versions. I put them on the second floor of the shop building right in front of the elevator. They are dancing in the landing zone purely for my entertainment :).

The Art Factory is about art and artists. At The Art Factory, we display art; we appreciate art; we learn about art; and, we promote art. We have over a dozen galleries dedicated to in-world artists, where they show their innovative creations. As such, we are continuing our feature - Meet the Artist. This week, we interviewed Antonia Ling, owner of Antonia Ling Gallery, Inspired By Gallery, Metropolis Poster Shop, and a 2001 themed gallery.

Antonia, tell us about yourself and your art.
“It's not easy to talk about myself. What have I to say about my person? Not much... really. I like photography and I like to photograph. I love to photograph old churches when I'm in Denmark. Or ships in the harbor... often details. Not the big ones, I prefer little old boats of the local fishermen. I like to photograph old cars and colorful flowers. I love art from the 1920s to today, I love a lot of the german BAUHAUS and their Master like Kandinsky, Alberts or Lazlo Moholy-Nagy.”

What are you doing currently?
“I try to photograph a bit. At the moment I deal with cyanotype. It fascinates me...”

What is your inspiration for art in world?
“I do what I do because I like to do it. When one in a million likes it... I'm happy.”

Thank you so much for your interview, Ms. Ling. We love your ongoing contributions to The Factory.

It's really not that hard to be ranked #4 on OpenSim when you plant 8 avatars in your region and just keep them there. I really think that is being very deceitful and skewing the OpenSim numbers to raise yourself in the rank. Regions that have been found to have avatars that are just put there 24/7 should have the region deleted and it should not be allowed. Not only is this grid owner stealing people's regions but now they are lying about who is actually occupying their region to raise themselves in the ranks. Awful!

Come for the freebies. Stay for the sites! Take your time exploring this beautiful sim, filled with picturesque views, large forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and beaches. Don't forget to visit Santa along the way.

A statement:

This is a world for avatars. If you put your avatar face in the profile, instead of the standard default picture, you get much more reactions and attention for your posts here in the forum. A standard profile picture does not specifically encourage you to open an account and take a closer look. If a profile is not maintained, the contributions and grid are usually the same. It takes effort, patience and perseverance to get people on his grid. Action = reaction. This is never quick! ;-)

Eine Feststellung:

Das hier ist eine Welt für Avatare. Wenn Du Dein Avatar Gesicht ins Profil gibst, an Stelle des Standardes Vorgabe Bildes, bekommst Du wesentlich mehr Reaktionen und Aufmerksamkeit für Deine Posts hier im Forum. Ein Standard Profil Bild animiert nicht speziell einen Account zu öffnen und näher anzusehen. Wenn ein Profil nicht gepflegt wird, sind meistens auch die Beiträge und Grid so. Um Leute auf sein Grid zu bringen, braucht es Anstrengung, Geduld und Ausdauer. Aktion = Reaktion. Das geht nie auf die schnelle! ;-)

Hello everyone,

I’ve put together a little tool that lets you back up your inventory from OSgrid and save it on your computer.

I’m not sure whether something like this already exists. Backups can take a very long time if you have a lot of items, and they’re limited to 50 GB. So it’s better to back up individual folders.

Please read the information on the website carefully. If you think I should improve anything, let me know.

I hope it’s useful.

Best regards,
Trawell

THIS EVENT is coming FAST like a FREIGHT TRAIN!
https://opensimliving.blogspot.com/2026/10/dismayland-cele...
Atrius and Dismayland are the only valid destinations until further notice.

As no-one else who was at the meeting has posted this yet, here's kind of good news from Sunday:

OSgrid will not shut down forever!

It will shut down on December 31st at midnight, yes. But it'll shut down in order to wipe the asset server. Same thing as the Asset Reset last year. Then it will come back online.

This means your accounts and your avatars are safe. They will not be deleted. You will not have to register new accounts or create new avatars. You will get to keep the avatars which you have now. They'll just have empty inventories.

This also means you've got time until December 30th to save the stuff you have in OSgrid that you need to save. But please don't wait until the last moment. If all those who can export IARs do it at the same time, this will overload the asset server. (Yes, IARs are safe. They're copies of your inventory. Your inventory is not poisoned, even though the asset server itself is.)

If you have land attached to OSgrid, you may export an IAR. If not, I myself recommend you to send the items that you absolutely need saved to an avatar in another grid (and items that can be picked up from freebie stores right now don't fall under this category). Basically the same as last year, remember?

If you don't have land, but you absolutely need an IAR export for some reason (and laziness is no such reason, sorry), you may send albertIr Landar an e-mail, and he'll export an IAR for you. He will need your OSgrid login password for that. Again, don't wait until the deadline and ask him then. Even albertIr can only export so many IARs at any given time, and if 100 users mail him to export their IARs on December 30th, he most certainly won't get all 100 done before the shutdown.

One thing will change: OSgrid won't let anyone and everyone attach sims just like that anymore, starting next year. Only "trusted" hosters will be allowed to attach sims. Don't ask me what exactly that means; the OSgrid board hasn't published a definition yet either. I've overheard at the meeting that those who have sims attached to OSgrid right now count as trusted. But don't take this for official information.

If you want official information from the board: Wait until the OSgrid wiki is updated.

Nach Mitteilung sei Tomi Balboa in der Nacht vom 04. auf 05. Oktober verstorben.
Wir erfuhren dies über eine Woche später am Dienstag den 13.Oktober, dass Tomi Balboa schon von Sonntag, den 04.Oktober auf Montag, den 05.Oktober im Krankenhaus verstorben sein soll.
Smaili dachte dass Tomi Balboa im Krankenhaus ins Koma gelegt worden sei und nach Angaben von Smaili wurde Tomi eine Woche zuvor mit Rettungswageneinsatz am Mittwoch den 23.September wegen Herzinfarkt ins Krankenhaus gebracht und wurde die Woche darauf am Dienstag,den 29.September mit Entlassbrief vom Krankenhaus entlassen und 4 Tage später am Samstag, den 03.Oktober bekam er einen zweiten Herzinfarkt, wir konnten einen Rettungseinsatz veranlassen. Am Sonntag,den 04.Oktober um 10:27 Uhr hatte Tomi Smaili angeschrieben und sagte er sei jetzt im Krankenhaus, nicht intensiv sondern in einem normalen 2 Bett Zimmer mit anderem Patienten zusammen.Er sagte er hätte am Samstag einen zweiten Herzinfarkt bekommen und hofft das es der letzte war, er schrieb noch er sei am Samstag Abend vom Stuhl gefallen und konnte nicht aufstehen und nicht telefonieren, hätte starke Schmerzen gehabt. Seine letzter gemeinsamer Chatkontakt zu Smaili war am Sonntag den 04.Oktober um 17:27 Uhr und ab 19:04 Uhr hatte er nicht mehr geantwortet, deswegen war die Vermutung das er ins Koma versetzt wurde.
Was dann folglich Sonntag auf Montag in der Nacht des 04. auf 05.Oktober im Krankenhaus passiert ist wissen wir nicht. Smaili war noch nicht bereit es zu veröffentlichen dass er verstorben sei.

According to reports, Tomi Balboa passed away during the night of October 4th to 5th.
We learned of this more than a week later, on Tuesday, October 13th specifically, that Tomi Balboa had reportedly passed away in the hospital between Sunday, October 4th, and Monday, October 5th.
Smaili believed that Tomi Balboa had been placed in a medically induced coma at the hospital. According to Smaili, Tomi had been taken to the hospital by ambulance a week earlier, on Wednesday, September 23rd, following a heart attack. He was discharged the following week, on Tuesday, September 29th, with a discharge letter. Four days later, on Saturday, October 3rd, he suffered a second heart attack, at which point we were able to arrange for an ambulance. On Sunday, October 4th, at 10:27 a.m., Tomi messaged Smaili to say that he is now in the hospital not in the intensive care unit, but in a standard two-bed room, sharing the space with another patient.He said that he had suffered a second heart attack on Saturday and hoped it would be his last. He also wrote that he had fallen from his chair on Saturday evening and was unable to get up or make a phone call, experiencing severe pain. His last chat interaction with Smaili took place on Sunday, October 4th, at 5:27 PM; he stopped responding at 7:04 PM, which led to the assumption that he had been placed in a medically induced coma.
We do not know what subsequently happened at the hospital during the night from Sunday, October 4th, to Monday, October 5th. Smaili was not yet ready to make the news of his passing public.

Elven Candle Lanterns to light the way. Put them anywhere inside or out, comes in 3 colors Blue, gold and green. You can hear the gold lantern fighting with the blue one.... Just kidding they don't talk ( maybe next time) ENJOY!

Breaking news because OSgrid officials never post here:

OSgrid is going to charge for attached regions if you've got more than one.

* One region is always free (unless you don't have one that's a 2x2 at most).
* Each region beyond that one is $1/month.
* What counts is how many regions you're running at the same time. So if you've got five regions, but you never have more than two online at a time, only these two count.
* The billing for region hosters will be different, the price will be the same.

EDIT for those who don't read the comments:

A var counts as 1 region. Even a 16x16 var counts as 1 region. It won't cost $255/month, but only $1/month.

If it's your "first" region (whichever one you declare your "first" region), it's only free if it's a single region or a 2x2 var. So if you have at least one single region or 2x2 var, but you also have bigger vars, declare one of your single regions or 2x2 vars your "first" region.

Halloween with Fred: The Zombie That Just Won’t Stay Dead

Halloween is creeping closer, which means it is time to dig through the wonderfully strange corners of Outworldz and resurrect a few old friends.

And this one is very difficult to keep dead.

Meet Fred’s Animated Zombie.

This isn't the sort of zombie that stands in the corner of your Halloween build looking menacing while everyone ignores it.

Fred apparently looked at that idea and decided zombies needed a better job description.

This zombie walks.
It attacks.
It makes noise.
You can hit it.
It falls apart.
It puts itself back together.

And, naturally...

YOU CAN RIDE IT.

Because why run away from the zombie when you can climb aboard and drive the thing around?

A Zombie With a Few Tricks Left in Him

Fred designed the zombie as an animated wandering character using his Prim Animation Compiler system.

The animation sequence includes standing, attacking, walking with alternating left and right steps, reacting to hits, taking a particularly nasty hit, and finally falling completely to pieces.

But death is apparently only a temporary inconvenience.

After enough abuse, the zombie collapses into scattered pieces on the ground.

Wait a bit...

...and he puts himself back together.

Then off he goes again.

There is something wonderfully Fred about engineering an undead creature that even death can't persuade to stop working.

Go Ahead. Hit Him.

The zombie actually keeps score as people interact with him.

Clicking him causes a hit reaction and eventually does enough damage to trigger the full death animation.

Head, arms, body — down he goes.

Then the zombie reassembles himself and resumes wandering around.

It makes a great interactive Halloween prop because visitors aren't simply looking at something spooky. They're causing things to happen.

And probably clicking him repeatedly just to see him explode again.

We know how people are.

But Wait — There's a Ride Me Button

This may be my favorite part.

Right-click the zombie and choose RIDE ME.

Your avatar climbs aboard, and suddenly the shambling Halloween decoration has become transportation.

Fred's script turns the zombie into a controllable vehicle, allowing you to steer him with your arrow keys.

So while everyone else is arriving at the Halloween party on broomsticks, motorcycles and dragons, you can make your entrance...

piggybacking on a zombie.

I think that wins Halloween.

When You Get Off, It Gets Even Better

Getting off your undead transportation doesn't simply end the ride.

The zombie falls apart.

Then he reassembles himself.

Then he walks back home.

Because apparently Fred even taught the zombie to clean up after the party.

The Engineering Behind the Silly

That's what I particularly enjoy about discoveries like this in the Outworldz archives.

They're funny, but underneath the humor is some genuinely clever scripting.

The zombie combines prim animation, sounds, physics, vehicle controls, randomized movement, interaction, damage scoring, roaming boundaries and a home position into one wonderfully ridiculous project.

Fred didn't just explain how to use it, either. His original tutorial documents how the animations are recorded, how the physics base is constructed, how the sounds are added, how the riding position is created and how the scripts work together.

It's one of those projects where you can play with the finished creation — or dig into the code and learn something from the way it was made.

That has always been part of the fun of Outworldz.

Build something.

Take it apart.

Learn how it works.

Change it.

And occasionally ride it around while it makes monster noises.

Resurrect Something This Halloween

There are years and years of creations tucked away at Outworldz, and Halloween seems like an excellent excuse to start opening some of those old crypts.

Fred's zombie certainly deserves another walk among the living.

Just remember one important rule:

If you manage to kill him...

don't celebrate too quickly.

He's getting back up. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/zombie/

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.
