Hey guys, I have some exciting great news about the E Grid, and some semi-bad news. Well it isn't really bad as such, more of a heads up.

So the semi bad first: From the 11th to the 24th of March, the Grid will be completely down, as we install and work on upgrading new regions and doing massive multiple backups. They are BIG backups, and it can't do them correctly with the grid running, sadly.

As you already see, Builds Ahoy seems down for the most, due to the crash at Osgrid.

We are backing up and then backing up again.

The good news:

We're going to be back fully, with most or all of our former regions. We have a new Server situation and its going to allow us to do this.

I will be adding lands today here, bear in mind most will be up 24/7 but not all. We have a good amount of large lands, and in order to do this, at times a few will be offline. Again please remember we'll be down totally 11th to 24th this month. We're doing this to safeguard ALL our assets in multiple places.

Have a great day and please bear with me as we bring back E Grid fully :)

Genesis Roleplay Grid is a stable well managed grid
owned by the mother & daughter team of Lavia Lavine and Metal Tango. We do not require you to be involved in the role play to be a member of the grid. We welcome builders, decorators, designers, scripters, and any member who has a vision for a bright future in Open Sim and, of course, Roleplayers are quite welcome also. And on Genesis, the only thing you pay for is the land. This could be your "new beginning" with a growing, expanding grid.

1x1 - w/5K prims = $5
2x2 - w/10K prims = $10
3x3 - w/15K prims = $15
4x4 - w/20K prims = $20
5x5 - w/25K prims = $25
6x6 - w/30K prims = $30
8x8 - w/40K prims = $40

The purchase of 2 - 4x4 or larger regions grants a free 1x1 or 2x2 region.

No additional charge to add prims and you can go
as high as 120K prims in the larger regions.
All regions are monitored for security and functionality.

All tier payments are monthly and non refundable.

all bits are to be covered

Remember back about 7 months ago, when Pagane and I told you all that Firestorm viewer was messing up the asset databases? Many called us liars. We even found the text and I copied and pasted it directly from the firestorm website that says this is true... https://opensimworld.com/post/112006 You can see it all in that original post above ^ Well now the situation has gotten so bad that users are starting to notice. Grids are starting to fall. etc. etc. Pagane works in her own business. One of the unique things she did is make a cacheless implementation of opensimulator. It was because of this that she stumbled across this problem the instant she upgraded her viewer above 6.6.14 as any viewer above that number has had some commits made that alter the way the data is read/written from the database. Again, remember, please, that firestorm ADMITS this on their own site. So for those of you who listened to us, enjoy your grid. To those who did not listen to us, enjoy your rebuild.
Note: because of Paganes cacheless implementation, when she upgraded her viewer to 6.6.16 she instantly saw her database getting destroyed instantly on the screen in front of her. Repair database, go back to 6.6.14 everything works. ok so far so good. reinstall 6.6.16 - boom database destroyed again. Repeat these steps, this time install 6.6.17 same problem - boom database crashes instantly. This has continued happening all the way up to the 7.x series.
Maybe the firestorm people need a cacheless version of opensim like Pagane has so they can INSTANTLY see the damage being done rather than letting it build up stealthily in the cache for long periods, so they would know what is going on?

Captiva is full of places to see and free shops. Various clubs featured for your use and entertainment. New additions include Neptune's underwater beach, Alien encounter, Eqyptian area and more! We are looking for entertainers for our clubs.

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

Hi There :D

We are the Savannah Sister's & we would like to tell you a little bit about Wolf Territories today.

We've been talking up a storm with Bobby our very own personlized AI!

Bobby is available to talk with anyone who desires all types of information, Especially about Wolf Territories!

If you own your own region, you can own your very own Bobby!

Bobby! Only available on Wolf Territories Grid! :D

We asked Bobby to give us some interesting facts about Wolf Territories Grid and he gave us lots of information.
Here is the first & formost one! :D

Besides the popular regions, there are hidden gems like the Sci-Fi regions in the east, which include Europa—a must-visit for any sci-fi enthusiast.

Europa is owned, built & run by the ever so loved & popular Jimmy Olsen!

Not only has he built this massive sci fi region but he's also built our new Welcome Center that's hardly 2 monthsold yet, and we are so close to becoming #1on OSW, with only a few more votes needed to get there! :D

That's penominal, to say the least!

Won't you kindly help us out in getting some more votes?
We so appreciate & enjoy the company of everyone that comes to visit Wolf Territories Grid! We will always have something new & different to offer you!

If you care to give us a vote, here is the link below:

The grid hosts a wide range of events, from spiritual gatherings at SoulRising over on Wolf Mountain to lively music sessions at Tropical Illusions where the mastermind of muzik, DJ Illusions plays his own music that he produces & composes on his own! There’s something for everyone!

One more fun & oh so important fact about our never ending growing grid is this:

The grid was started by Lone Wolf in 2020 and has since grown into a vibrant community, with Lone Wolf often being showered with ‘Wolf Snacks’ for his contributions.

Lone Wolf is the one person that's been keeping this grid on it's toes. Lone works tirelessly making Wolf Territories Grid run smoothly & efficiently. Lone is gifted with a superb mind in the technical area. So of course Lone is in the perfect positon to manage this ever growing grid. The more people that become members here, the more servers he buys to keep our Wolf Territories Grid running & kept in top notch condition! :D

The Savannah Sisters will be back again to give you more of Bobby's knowledgable fun & interesting facts about this fun loving grid that we all so adore! :D

UPDATE- IT APPEARS TO BE AN OUTAGE HOPEFULLY FIX SOON.

The grid will be not accessible until its fixed. The cause is unknown at this time, hoping its just a server internet is down thing. Will keep everyone posted.

OSGRID is NOT a TEST GRID!!! I was wrong and have been corrected by Fred and others. Osgrid is a full production services grid. I thought it was a test grid and as a result you all had no right to be so angry at them because with a test grid there are no guarantees. But I was completely wrong. You guys have every right to be angry and mad. You've lost all your inventory from an actual production grid. No IAR's, No OAR's. Nothing. Years of your life down the drain. Hours of building and creating and scripting wasted. Everything gone. I understand your frustration and hatred now.

DEAR PEOPLE WITH BROKEN OARS AND IARS. Take them to grid.wolfterritories.org and ask Lone Wolf to help you. He has made a system that can REPAIR your iar and oar by seeking the same UUID object from other grids databases and inject the fixed one into your IAR or OAR. This means that in most cases you get ALL OF YOUR INVENTORY AND OAR BACK. Wolf territories also stores their assets in an object format like instagram and youtube do that serve millions customers worldwide. They have for example 30 robust servers running all the time with load balancing, which means no more lost assets. I hope this helps you all. ** Note, I may be mistaken that it is off of the UUID - as I am not privy to the tech Lone invented. That was just my first guess. Saccw pointed out that uuid's are assigned randomly to new items and he/she is correct. So it seems I made an assumption without thinking about it much. Apologies. I should further clarify that Lone is not attempting to capitalize off of osgrid's misfortune. I posted this post without his knowledge and then told him about the post I made. See so many people are asking Lone to recover their iar's and oar's that it's a lot of work for him to sit there and personally upload the file, and use his tech to fix it, and then give it back to the person. Lone's grid is a land rental grid, and the whole process is much easier if the oar and iar are already on the system, think bandwidth and server cost, not to mention personal time.

SkyRealm Observatory: Where Spacetime Unfolds

Perched atop a floating mountain, SkyRealm is a gateway to the mysteries of the cosmos. Here, relativity is more than theory—it’s a living experience. Step into a realm where spacetime bends, gravity dances, and the universe reveals its hidden wonders. The complexities of time, space, and celestial mechanics come to life in a breathtaking setting beyond the ordinary.

Fred Beckhusen-Ferd Frederix Thank you, for lending a hand in this project. Fred took a model with over 800 parts then used Blender modifiers to clean edges, and a script that helped to reduce the level of detail. He made it six layers of over a hundred parts each then stacked it on top of the mountain.

I've just posted a script to the scripts libary for a Personal Ad Board.

This is the current script in use at the MatchMaker region (hop://grid.sub-version.space:8002:MatchMaker) and the Adoptions service at Ardent Lake (hop://grid.sub-version.space:8002:Ardent Lake).

Currently this script allows someone to get your notecard and optionally like your board. Likes will be attempted to be IMd to the owner (but HG being what it is - this mostly wont work unless they are local).

Board owners can click their board to see how many notecards have been given out and how many likes they have and list the last 20 people to like their board.

It has a way to go - but it "works" for what I need it for at the moment. I will update the script when I make more modifications.

Posting it in case its of any use/interest to anyone.

We are looking forward to seeing you all.

THEY CANNOT WIN THE WAR, NO MATTER HOW MUCH $$$ WE POUR INTO IT.
Why not?
Because Putin is afraid that if ukraine gets into nato as a full member they will put a nato base in ukraine. This is about 200 miles from moscow. An ICBM could be at moscow before they could knock it down. Putin is afraid and feels cornered, and like any rabid dog, He will bite. Because Putin is insane, he can and will use Nukes on ukraine if pressed too far. Like if he feels certain He is going to lose with his troops (and let's face it, he's not losing with his troops.) But say he was losing with his troops, He would definitely use nukes. This is why Ukraine cannot win this war. So now what? Do you think we should keep pouring money into a bottomless pit or seek peace? If we do not seek peace, more and more of ukraine will fall until Russia has control of it anyway. (Like what is happening now.) I say give him the land he wants of ukraine so that he at least has a chance in minutes to knock down the ICBMS so he is no longer afraid. If you don't do this, He will kill everyone anyway. Do you see now?

Pending asset deletion of inventories:

We are really getting agitated with the asset losses , nearly everyday Osgrid goes offline and when its back online , more is lost At least 50% of all we try and transfer to another grid arrives here either broken mesh or asset loss. Boxes we have packed and left rezzed on our single sim also loose assets now.
Our avies have lost their bodies ,heads etc and our inventories are totally corrupted , what is the point in giving us time till 25th March to save what we need ? there is nothing left to save.
Even saved IARs that have been created will be completely incorrect under the circumstances.
This is not only annoying Osgrid Residents,but also is giving a bad impression of the grid in whole.. People will loose confidence in Osgrid management and will move to other grids as a result, which is probably not in the interest of OS grid management.
You should flip the switch and get it over with as quickly as possible.



Wir ärgern uns wirklich über die Assetverluste, fast jeden Tag geht Osgrid offline, und wenn es wieder online kommt, geht noch mehr verloren. Mindestens 50 % von allem, was wir versuchen, in ein anderes Grid zu übertragen, kommt dort entweder aufgrund eines Meshfehlers (broken mesh) oder eines Assetverlustes an. Die Boxen, die wir gepackt und auf unserer einzelnen Sim gerezzt haben, verlieren jetzt auch ihre Assets.
Unsere Avatare haben ihre Körper, Köpfe usw. verloren und unsere Inventare sind völlig zerstört. Welchen Sinn hat es, uns bis zum 25. März Zeit zu geben, um das zu retten, was wir brauchen? Es gibt nichts mehr zu retten.
Auch angefertigt gespeicherte IAR´s werden unter den gegebenen Umständen vollständig fehlerhaft sein.
Dies verärgert nicht nur die Osgrid-Bewohner, sondern hinterlässt auch einen schlechten Eindruck vom Grid insgesamt. Die Menschen werden das Vertrauen in die Osgrid-Verwaltung verlieren und infolgedessen zu anderen Netzen wechseln, was wohl nicht im Interesse des OS – Grid Managment ist.
Man sollte den Schalter umlegen und es schnellst möglichst hinter sich bringen.
