I left the confines of my grubby room of questionable privacy. The desert called to me, so I went. The further away I strolled revealed more signs of life...but I question the variety thereof.

The hills have eyes...

-- Heinrich Heine

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night...

After spending most of the day working with it, we won't be doing the Dreamgrid Smart Start after all.

After crashing repeatedly with three different versions of Firestorm, and finding with no Smart Start the crashes ended - as well as the very large and heavy regions we have not loading as they need to -- it's just not working for us. It's a great concept, however. With a pretty powerful dedicated 64 gig Server we should be okay.

I think this works well for some grids and not for others, depending on what has to be loaded in etc etc.

Many thanks to Mistress Delgado for all her advice and help trying this out! :)

It has been 8 days since the Tenth Dimension Grid was born and became a world within the Metaverse made up of many diverse and beautiful galaxies we call the Hypergrid.
Hammers have been banging the nails are flying and progress is being made on the grid. The two shopping regions are still under construction. I have most of my inventory for my shop rezzed and am now in the process of sorting it all out...a big job. I didn't realize I had made so MUCH STUFF! :) If you see something you like and it isn't set for sale $0 yet, let me know so I can be sure you get it.

The region called The Tenth Dimension Project (not listed here yet) can be accessed through our portals if you want to learn more about the project I have spent the last 5 or 6 years researching and dreaming of. The region is divided into 10 parcels, with a platform in the sky above Imagine 6- Space exploration as this one will require both ground and sky and different environment settings. Some of the parcels already have the EEP made and applied, so please enable your settings to see how that "world's" atmosphere may look, (it could change as I go along). On each parcel, I have put out an Info board that shows 2 possible timelines for each parcel.
In the Tenth Dimension, there could be an infinite number of timelines and possibilities so I have narrowed it down to 2, A or B as these possibilities appeal to me and will challenge my abilities. I have many projects going on all the time as it is my nature and I have so many different interests, so this is a long-term project that will at times progress rather quickly and will also be slow to completion.
I welcome anyone to visit and check out the progress and have a nice chat if you wish if I am around. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them.
While you are here, check out the other regions. We are small but have lots to explore, especially in the Land Of Xzar, so take your time and have fun. See you soon!
PS Are you looking for a vacation retreat or a honeymoon adventure? Lots of places in Land Of Xzar to stay. A castle? There are a few. A large Manor on a farm? A small cottage in the forest or the mountains? A beach hut? A beautiful Moracan-styled hotel or the 1960s-style motel down the street offers two very different experiences. See me for more info.

Hello everyone, friends of New Life Italy,
we are approaching the first anniversary of this incredible journey. Looking back, I think it has been a challenging but also a very fulfilling year. We made important relationships, met so many people and created events that made us laugh so much. In short, it has been a good journey and I look forward to continuing it for a long time to come.
In this year we have seen a vibrant community full of positive energy grow. Each of you has contributed to making New Life Italy a special place where we can express our passions, share our ideas and support our dreams. We have faced challenges and overcome obstacles together, strengthening our bond and proving that, united, we can achieve any goal.
It was wonderful to see how much creativity and commitment you put into each project and event. From the weekly meetings to the big events, every moment spent together was precious and left an indelible mark in our hearts. The laughter, deep conversations and new friendships born in this year are the real treasures of this experience.
We are working on a big party to celebrate this first major milestone together. It will be a surprise party for many of you, because we deserve it and you deserve it! We want to celebrate not only the time that has passed, but also the future that lies ahead. The party will be an opportunity to relive the best moments and prepare for new adventures together.
We will gradually keep you updated on the development of the event. We promise it will be an unforgettable experience, full of surprises and joy. There will be moments of reflection, but also a lot of fun, because every important anniversary deserves to be celebrated in style.
In the meantime, we invite you to continue to actively participate in the life of New Life Italy. Your ideas, enthusiasm and spirit of collaboration are what makes this community so special. We look forward to sharing news with you and building new projects together that will make us grow even more.
I warmly embrace you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this first year so extraordinary.

Hello Friends! I have been busy working on my shop and have made this sweet stone house available. It comes with a stone wall you can use as well. I built it for Braewood Forest in The Land Of Xzar, so visit there if you would like to see it furnished with the things I made for it as the one at the mall is unfurnished. All should be copy if anyone wants, or ask me. I have included a kitchen you can place if you wish.
I have added a lot of landscaping items: planters with flowers, ground flowers and plants, and a beautiful collection of trees made with AI-generated textures. There are also some new water lilies to add to your ponds, as well as a wooden gazebo with a dance ball.
I make all of my content using sculpts and prims. The shop is full of decor and finishing pieces that help turn a house into a home.
Look for Star Ravenhurst Designs on the teleporter when you land.
Thanks for having a look! Big Hugs!!

ya know.. there sure is a LOT of imature, high schoolish, jealous, so called adults, who are drama queens & kings across all grid of the metaverse.. here's a little advice.. if you have a beef with someone.. Take it up with them "Personally".. email them.. reach them inworld on their grid.. reach them on facebook... reach them on discord.. but whatever you do.. do NOT reach out to them publicly on someone elses post, profile page, or advertising poster, or what have you.. if you are blocked LET IT GO.. if its THAT important that you absolutely MUST keep the drama going.. create an ALT inworld.. go to their grid.. send them a message let them know exactly who you are.. and then say what you gotta say.. HOW DARE YOU start drama on someone elses post here on opensimworld.com .. 2 words for you.. GROW UP! & Keep your business and drama off of other peoples posts!
Have a nice day!

we make weekly parties and combine meetings during the week with little groups of people who want to enjoy dances and intimate encounters .... and enjoy together
PEACE LOVE LAUGH RESPECT AND NO DRAMA

Let your users contact you for two-way conversation through telegram for instant help access.

Creating a script to allow in-world users of OpenSimulator to chat with a channel on Telegram requires the use of HTTP requests. This involves creating a bot on Telegram that can receive and send messages, and an LSL script in Second Life to interact with this bot.

Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot
Open Telegram and search for BotFather.
Start a chat with BotFather and use the /start command.
Use the /newbot command to create a new bot, and follow the prompts to name it and get the token.
Step 2: Create a Webhook to Communicate with Telegram
You'll need a server to handle messages between OpenSimulator and Telegram. Here's a simple example using Python and Flask.

python

from flask import Flask, request
import requests

app = Flask(__name__)

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN'
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID'

@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def webhook():
data = request.json
message = data['message']['text']
send_message_to_sl(message)
return "ok", 200

def send_message_to_telegram(message):
url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessa..."
payload = {
'chat_id': TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID,
'text': message
}
requests.post(url, json=payload)

def send_message_to_sl(message):
# This function should handle sending the message to Second Life.
pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(port=5000)
Set up the webhook URL for your bot using:

bash
https://api.telegram.org/bot/setWebhook?url=/webhook
Step 3: Create the LSL Script in OpenSimulator
The following LSL script will send a message to the webhook on your server. The server will then send this message to the Telegram channel.

lsl

string webhook_url = "http:///webhook";

default
{
state_entry()
{
llOwnerSay("Telegram chat bot script active.");
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llOwnerSay("Please type your message to send to Telegram:");
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
// Prepare the message
string json = llEscapeURL("{\"message\": {\"text\": \"" + message + "\"}}");

// Send the message to the webhook
llHTTPRequest(webhook_url, [HTTP_METHOD, "POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/json"], json);

llOwnerSay("Message sent to Telegram: " + message);
}

on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llResetScript();
}

changed(integer change)
{
if (change & CHANGED_OWNER)
{
llResetScript();
}
}
}
Step 4: Set Up a Listener in LSL for Telegram Messages
If you want to receive messages from Telegram in OpenSimulator, you need to implement the send_message_to_sl function on your server and an HTTP server in LSL to listen for incoming messages.

Example of setting up an HTTP server in LSL:

lsl

default
{
state_entry()
{
llOwnerSay("Telegram listener script active.");
llHTTPRequest(webhook_url, [HTTP_METHOD, "POST", HTTP_MIMETYPE, "application/json"], json);
}

http_request(key request_id, string method, string body)
{
if (method == "POST")
{
// Decode the incoming message
string message = llJsonGetValue(body, ["message", "text"]);

// Send the message to local chat
llSay(0, "Telegram: " + message);
}
}
}
This setup involves running a server to handle the communication between OpenSimulator and Telegram. The example assumes familiarity with web server deployment. For a more robust solution, consider using a cloud service to host the server.

As a way to say thank you to the OSW community, I'm going to be releasing a project every now and then and have it only shared with those who happen to come across this listing. To start things off, you can find the first gift at the OSURL below!

Whack-A-Mole
A fun throwback to the days of old, when taking a mallet to a plastic animal felt wonderful. (Mallet not included!) To play, simply rez it out and give it a click. The owner of the machine will have a few extra options, including the option to reset the score to 0, as well as an option to remove all score logs. Have fun!

Get Help Finding Stuff
---------------------------------
Polar bears are good at helping you find stuff, if you can find one. So, people are using the box more and more to request help. As you know, comments in the box get drowned out by not nice comments. Even the nice comments push the requests down until they disappear. But there is help with that. Just join the What Are You Looking For group. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

• Why: As I mentioned, there is a short time before requests in the box go to oblivion The posts in the group stick around, increasing the chances that you will find help from our over 100 members.
• How to use the group: Post about items you are, well, looking for...outfits, builds, shops, services, skills, and so on. At times, a group member will actually make what you are looking for. How cool is that? (Hint: very cool!)

What happens if you help? First, you become one of the forces for good in the galaxy. OK, in OS and OSW. We need more goodness here, right? And, about every two weeks, I post a list of our recent helpers, a bit of their profile info, and the address of their region(s).

The What Are You Looking For group. It’s what you’ve been looking for!
