Some may have noticed that Uzuri (formerly Uzuri Virtual) is back. We got in a bit of
a mess with the code and such last year, but hopefully it is done now. New Linux server and new names - Uzuri Prime and Uzuri Common. We're back 24/7 seven days a week.

Why "Uzuri"? you may ask. Well, the word "Uzuri" means niceness, goodness or beauty in Swahili. No, I'm not a Swahili speaker but I thought is described what I want from opensim, so there it is.
Please note, though, that if it doesn't look the same as before, that's becaue I had to use older oar files to load the sims in because of corruption of the other ones. Some stuff is missing and some stuff that was removed is back. Telle est la vie!

We'll get by.

I have removed the Athena stores from Uzuri Prime because the stuff in them was old and were not enhancing the sim in any way - you can find that stuff everywhere.

Uzuri Common is Open Source/ Authorised only. It is "old school", mainly built from scratch in the viewer. It has a bit of Ruth/Roth 2 stuff and lots of Selea Core.

*Takes a deep breath* It's good to be back!

Question about opensim

Is it just me or is others not getting notifications when someone messages them? I dont always jump on osw everyday but lately when i have i look into my messages seeing messages from like 6 days to a month ago. Anyway to fix this, i have checked my settings and all boxes are not checked?

Also

I don't normally post anything politically divisive - and this is not posted to do that although in the current climate some people will choose to leap before looking.
Rather I'm posting this because I'm in awe of the person who made this.
Remember that the right to peaceful protest is something many people don't get the chance of doing.
Let's try and not lose any more chances for creativity in a good cause.
Sing along if you like :)

Opening wednesday, 26th march! Gloebit mall of original mesh creations by Remmy Ravenhurst! There will be free gifts which also are not available anywhere in the metaverse. The idea behind this mall is to give original creators an opportunity to make a few coins here and there, hone and improve their skills, support each other, and ensure OpenSim can gain continually more traction as it's own entity, with truly unique items and people!

Some of us may have been around long enough to even recall the days of approx 2003-2008, where average players could create things in SL, hone and improve their skills, sell knick knacks, gestures, what have you...not to get rich or gouge each other, but, perhaps earn a few bucks with our work ethic. But all the big businesses, corporations, and college grads rolled in, had access to million dollar motion capture animation machines, expensive softwares and hardwares out of reach to the average user, and things like this. We happily choose to support other creators that have the "audacity" to ask a small pittance or few coins for their hard and original work.

ALL of these items are legally licensed or free use mesh. Most of it was custom textured by Remmy, and applicable furnitures have poses. Some may have various scripts, a few may have color huds. We will be posting the hop location on Wednesday, when it opens. Thanks for your support and encouragement, in advance!

Jupiter Rowland was wondering in an earlier post why The Virtual Museum had not heard about Opensim. This chart from 2022 from Metaversed Consulting is a reminder of just where Opensimulator places in the metaverse, and is very likely why the Virtual Museum hasn't heard of us. We're one of the tiny dots under Older Users. By 2024, Opensimulator didn't even register on this chart at all. Personally, I love Opensim and plan to be here as long as it's running, whether or not we are recognized by the rest of the virtual world.

This chart comes from here: https://www.metaversed.consulting/blog/120-and-counting

Hi everyone! Starchild Shoppe has its new location at Sanctum Astra Grid.
As mentioned back in December, the re-do of the website was the first step to put the store in its own place/grid: this should help with any potential lag, HG TP issues etc.
As you can see there's is a new grid behind: No big plans for it, will probably keep it small, maybe add a club if there's demand? We will see.
But, for now, I hope this helps with struggles some people faced in the past about access etc!
There's also an OSW hop page there. Feel free to leave your reviews and comments.
HUGE thanks to @SciattisiGrid for helping to set it up: If you need help to get your very own grid running, please do reach out to him!

I tried running 5.87 but... I had issues with it. It loaded the wizardry sim 3x the objects. In other words you could delete any object and there would stilll be 2 of the same object in the same spot. Additionally, it loaded only very little of other oars. So regions that were huge would only load like 200 mb. So not sure what is up with 5.87. I did however, find a complete save of 5.62 where i backed up the entire dreamgrid directory. So I copied that to a new production location and executed it, and im back in business. Since I have the storage space I may do this from now on.

Does anyone know if there are places or clubs where modern dance electronic music like trance or minimal techno or phonk is played? And are there people who like this direction? Like it if you like it. I wonder how many of us there are, heheheh.

Hi folks, I have received a few questions today regarding the body skins I shared (i.e. do they work for EvoX, why no face, etc.)
There's a README inside the pack with some details but a few more details:

1. Body skins generally use the .skin type of item and they only contain Upper and Lower.
1.1. The textures are mapped to the body (especially in places like toes, butts, etc. - hence why those would look weird if used in another body).
2. Face skins generally use the .tattoo type, precisely so that you can 'bake/add' it ON TOP of the .skin of the body (of which [.skin] you cand only wear one).
2.2 The face textures are mapped to the head (Evo, EvoX or others).

In this sense, they are NOT connected (you could wear Legacy and....Catwa as head!), and seldom if ever do body skin come with a face skin (Have NEVER seen that, imagine they come with a Catwa head and you use EvoX, or come with Evo and you use a EvoX head!).

The can be 'related' as far as the skin tone goes (i.e. some body skin creators have a set of tones to which face skins creators try to adhere).
Either way, that's what the neck-fix included (only for EvoX, though) are for. If you can't 100% match the tone, add the fix or the face blender.

The .shape file is also important if you want the default shape. However, you can only wear ONE .shape.
If you 'add' it, it will replace the one you got with your face (and mess the shape).
So, in SL (or even here, if properly here), if you were to start a new avi you would get:

1. The shape [.shape] and eyebrows [.hair] that come with the head. Let's say EON EvoX = You can almost ditch these ones unless you are going with the 'demo'/free face skin that comes with the head.
2. The shape [.shape] that comes with legacy body = You can also almost ditch this one, unless you are going with the 'demo'/free body skin of the body.
3. The shape [.shape] and eyebrows [.hair] that come with the face skin. Let's say EROS (for EON EvoX) = These ones you keep, and will probably the ones you use.
4. The shape [.shape] that comes with the body skin. Let's say Jupiter Muscled TAN tone. = This you want to keep, but just for the values.

1 and 2 don't really have much 'value', they are: 'shape-you-can-use-if-you-dont-add-any-skins-from-creators'. EVEN if you wanted to stick to those, you would need to transfer the body shape values to the shape that come with the head.
ALWAYS combine them.
Why? Because the values (numbers) in the shape of the head are specific values that the face/head skin creator has added so that it looks like in the piiiicz.
Now, legacy creator couldn't possible know those...so if you rely on their shape of the head values...well...it will look BAD.
Body-values-on-head-shape is also because there are less amount of cells/numbers pertaining to body.

NOW, if you got yourself (hopefully) an additional face skin (eg. EROS) and body skin (eg. Jupiter Muscled TAN), you want to merge and use those two.
Why? Because the values relative to the head in EROS will make it look like in the pic, and the values relative to the body in Jupiter, will make it look like in the pic.

So:
- You add the shape of Jupiter just to take the number values on Body+Torso+Leg tabs.
- You switch into the EROS shape, and replace Body, Torso, and Legs with those values.

Result: Your face will look like in the skin pic you bought, and so will your body.

RECAP: .skin for body skins + .tattoo for face skins. Leverage neckblends. Ditch default body/head shapes. Use skin shape as basis, add body skin shape values.

:) I am going to be tearing down the Magic Shoppe at Wizardry in the coming weeks. I wish to replace it with a forest, and an elven temple perhaps. So if you want any of the magical items there please get them now, also Savine has copies at her store which is where you will have to go to get the items. I just feel like the area would be better served as a more natural environment for a wizard. Without the old cluttered up shop on the hill.

An old picture that I came across. This was my first region, years and years ago, shortly after OSgrid first opened. I arrived here from SL with like 5 textures, and some sculptie palm trees I created. :)

edited: They didn't even have mesh back then. :)

This is a pile of SF Meat on one of my regions. I only have 2 kinds of farm animals on there, NOTHING else regarding farming. I love my Unicorns and my monsters! :D

I only have about 10 total.

This pile of meat keeps on replicating. I'm doing an area search and it is now up to 30,000 SF Meat!

I don't understand what's going on, but I hope it's not that slappy sally or whatever her name is that goes around and replicates objects . . . I checked and it did not give a name on who the creator is.

I'll have to talk to Lone about this cuz I'm not sure if I can get rid of it myself! :(

I got rid of it
[9:49 AM]
Took me a while to get rid of all that
[9:49 AM]
LOL
[9:53 AM]
I went to the sandbox afterwards because there were 3 boxes along with the SF Meat where the SF Meat was. I wanted to take one out to see if there were any scripts in it. But when I went to look in my trash, I could not find them at all. I deleted those three separately also. Oh well, it's all gone now. I'm just surprised that it happened on a one of my non-farming sims and not on my farming som. Shrugs

KINDROID!

UPDATE: I have tried it with an npc and it work, for example wear an invisible prim or necklace whatever you want. name it the name of your bot and add the script in there. create npc notecard and add it to your scripted furniture whatever.

I have been playing around with my 3 day free trial, I have to say i am quiet intrigued. The level of conversations in intriguing. Kind a bummer you have to pay the price for the good stuff lol. Above is with animesh. I am now addicted lol, I've done 3 scenes already with just one bot.

what is everyone's thoughts on this, are there any free versions out there.

The Hawpanyu, or healer, in Na'vi culture is a highly respected role due to their deep connection with nature and their essential role in maintaining the well-being of the clan. The training focuses on ecotherapy, herbal medicine, and the unique skill of energy healing known as "The Flow of Healing." I have a RP kit for the Hawpanyu (Na'vi Healer)
it consists of various items to enhance your pandoran Roleplay. If you would like a kit it is at the landing here. It would also work with other Roleplays as the kit has items and info that you might find useful.

I don't understand the hatred towards child avis in Open Sim. Sure, they shouldn't engage in adult activities and maybe not hang in Adult sims but otherwise, what's the problem? Spare me the politics here, I don't need it.

My usual choice to look smaller is usually as a Dinkie. But I think I'll stock up on these avis, too!
