**** OPENSIM Grandpiano V3 - Updated Release! ****

What's New:
• Fixed last UUID sound issue (to improve performance in OpenSim).
• Piano dialog now visible to everyone (not just the owner).
• New "ALL" notecard to play all 40 tracks in sequence (*).
• Improved sound quality with louder and stereo output.


(*) It takes on average 02 minutes to load them all and there is a 10 seconds pause between a music to another.

Special thanks for Clifford Hangar, owner of ALTERNATE METAVERSE GRID (AMV) who kindly helped me with this script and I could share to Opensim citizens,

Enjoy :)

All I ever did when I was here was build, create magic huds, create oars, and try to help people. I was harassed a lot by a band of trolls, constantly picked on and lied on by others who will say and post and do anything. Even fake made up stuff. Many of you have asked me to come back and keep creating. I will think about it. I did have some more oars I designed and it would be a shame to see them languish on an old hard drive and not get shared. I'm not sure if they survived the last ssd failure on my system. But to date they have not been seen by anyone but me. Perhaps I will come back in a few weeks. I am thinking about it - in the very least to upload the other fantasy oars I have made if they survived.

Fifteen years, how fast they flew,
Dorena’s World, a dream come true.
A digital realm, so full of life,
With shared ideas, escaping strife.

From the first pixel to today’s delight,
You’ve built a world that shines so bright.
Friendship, dreams, and fantasy,
All united in harmony.

Let’s celebrate, day by day,
For all the wonders that pave the way.
Fifteen years of inspiration,
A reason for joyful celebration!
Further information on the upcoming events will follow.

Are you using a 4K monitor ? Are you looking to upgrade ?

I publish here some benchmark in the hope it might help those who are looking to up part their performances using Firestorm. I was myself looking to find those information before i upgraded.

This will allow you to see what performance you could get with a similar hardware. I chose Intel, but AMD is also a very good choice, so for comparison it would need to be an AMD with similar performance to get similar result, the same for the video card.

Please note, these benchmark are with Firestorm with everything enabled Ultra Detail and Distance view set to 864. With a 4k Monitor (3840x2160)

Hyacinth: Rockin the gray! 6 days ago
Work continues at the Japanese display area under reconstruction at Lunaria Emporium. Added a large torii gate in a central lake. All items are separate and some are free and full perm. Perimeter walls and main gate are next, then I'll start on a larger, more opulent house, revised tea houses, a temple, some additional decor, and a Japanese castle. Click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get there.

Mistressdalgato: you going to make me broke lol 7 days ago
The Japanese Home and Garden is now available at Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid! Just click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get to the display area. That area is under reconstruction but the home and the bridges are available now.

This is a full pbr build but still has standard textures for those using non-pbr viewers. The home itself has 5 rooms, each with separate sliding shoji doors and light controls. In the back is a full garden in the Japanese style with all new mesh flora and landscaping, it's own lighting control, as well as pbr prim water that is animated. The full build is 1154 prims and fits comfortably on 53m x 45m space. Permissions are modify and copy and comes with full instructions.

As a bonus, I included extras of all the plants and trees used in the build.

Mike Chase: Beautiful build! 8 days ago
what if.....
we spent our time focusing on our similarities
instead of our differences?

I have seen many discussions here become very toxic recently because people are focused on how we are all different. I love how we all are different, but we also have some common similarities; the most obvious is that we are all people behind the pixels.

Sometimes in life and Opensim, it is much easier to tear a person down than to build them up. Let's make the extra effort and support eachother!

This is our Opensim.....lets take pride in it!

Caribia: It's about respecting and live and let live 13 days ago
Right. Some people seem to twist their knickers about this, so kind dumbing it down. To be clear again: we are just a bunch of friends from different grids that want to align OURSELVES (not others), on SOME stuff.

Hi folks, you will start seeing a bit more of this around. Long story short: a bunch of as OS contributors have come together to align and improve with our shared brains!
=The Gilded Accord=

The Gilded Accord is a collective of active OpenSim contributors who came together to align and coordinate their efforts.
Its raison the etre is to align the existing efforts and labour of love of the top OpenSim contributors, fostering sharing of best practices, and cross-pollination: because the result of the sum of some part can sometimes be bigger, be the exponential improvement that is born out of many creative minds working together!
Its vision is an OpenSim hyper-world that enjoys free, quality items.

The aims of the Accord are to:
1. Offer a forum for active creators from different grid to coordinate themselves.
2. Foster sharing of best practices.
3. Drive standardisation on standard items, nomenclature and approach that enable further development of dependant items (i.e. appliers, auto-alpha...)
4. Maximise the each members effort by aligning on contributions roadmap.
5. Freely sharing core items (scripts, and similar) that both standarise and improve items
6. Share and align best practices
7. Weave a network of trusted, quality stores across the hypergrid.


The standards of Accord member are:
1. Respecting other people's contributions, while also encouraging consensual sharing of items across stores (particularly 'core' items like body skins, bodies, heads...that are always handy to have in different grids).
2. Standarising the use of [at least!] MOD+COPY format for items
3. Championing the use of normal and specular layers - especially for new items.
4. Making a reasonable use of physics (prioritising bounding box) and reasonable levels of LOD, ensuring a smoother loading on hypergrid.
5. Leverage standardised nomenclature (i.e. use the same names for body and head faces, so other people can create appliers for them).
6. Focus on items for adult avis.
7. Promotion and champion of other members work.

This sounds nice - but what does it look like?
For Accord member: A private discord server section where we can align and share. 'Hey I'm focusing on contributing X', 'Oh, then I'm going to focus on Y which complements X'.
For overall OS members: A trusted networks of stores that meet same standards, as well as regular updates on them from our discord!

Hicks: good initiative, it's one more tool in the toolbox. I wish you success 13 days ago

Here you can explore and discover the secrets inside , from the military used Time Tunnel Complex called Project Tic Toc ("only" exploring ,no freebies!!!!!!

I figured out how to generate a map of the sim. we've spent a day or so building and there's much land still to explore. At the concept it was going to be like a 9 square grid with 4 lands and 5 waters lol. But on a 4096x4096 I realized that would take weeks if not a month to create, so I tried different things and finally figured out how to randomly generate islands on the whole sim. The concept is people can have an island in the game, or part of it - a parcel. This isn't a typical square island sim but different and interesting so far. the economy game will be ready soon, it's going to be free to play.

Aeris Irides: I put the grid map on a 5m x 5m prim and anywhere you touch you are teleported to that area. Obviously we have a map in the viewer lol. But With the dynamically generated map i can display the parcels... 17 days ago
OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of one of our long time grid members Trizzy Hunter. All of us at Virtual Beach are devastated and sadden by this news, please bare with us while we grieve.

If you knew Trizzy or visited one of her many regions, you knew how much work she put into them. She took time to create stores and such for all to love. Trizzy was a great friend to all who knew her as well as helping someone in world when they needed it. She helped me a lot when i messed up my terrain or needed something in world. She will be truly missed.

Trizzy's memory will live on forever at Virtual Beach, please continue to honor her legacy by visiting one of her many regions listed below that is open all year long.

RRD Fashion Exclusives
Christmas Dreams
Dagger's Edge
Rayvn's Roost Concourse
Spooktacular Wood

After the New Year a memorial will be held in world starting at the cemetery and ending at daggers edge for a dance party to remember and honor her legacy. Date and details to be announced soon.


Micawood: I'm very sorry to hear that. She was someone who helped me a lot when I started in open sim. I hope she is calm and at peace wherever she is now 17 days ago
2 doors have closed but a new one is ready to be opened. First of all..The whole sim is still under construction. Take it as a "sneak preview" what you can expect. But it will still take weeks till everything is ready....
Situated on a beautiful winter sim. The main attraction is The old train station that contains a wonderful styles flea-market with all kind of items . Another highlight on the sim is the unique styled Cabaret-Jazz Club. Cabaret and Jazz? Yes Cabaret alternates regulary with Jazz. As you know me, a lot to explore and for sure no 30 sec fly by sim. But remember the sim is still under construction.

Dabici132: WOW, sounds fantastic, looking forward to discover it ALl best for 2025 19 days ago
Things I come across...

The rebuilding and restoration of the Notre-Dame de Paris is taking place not only in real life, but also on the hypergrid, where artist Hicks Adder is working on a dazzling replica. The ornamentation, structural arches, and foundation are quite complex, and it is a joy to watch the progress.

To be continued.

Voici le compte-rendu de la Réunion d'hier établi par Prodyck
.
Compte rendu de la réunion du jeudi 5 décembre

Merci à Eden d'accueillir régulièrement cette réunion sur sa grille. De nombreuses personnes n'ont pu être informées ou venir en raison de la maintenance d'Osgrid. L'information a été diffusée sur Discord, le groupe des Francophones sur Opensimworld, ainsi que via les contacts de chacun.

Ont été abordés :

La sous-utilisation du groupe francophone d'Osw est un problème particulièrement criant vu les circonstances.

Le problème de l'utilisation du chat écrit et de la voix : les discussions techniques sont plus compréhensibles par écrit. La voix donne des discussions plus vivantes. Mais dans ce type de réunion où le nombre d'avatars est réduit, cela ne pose pas de gros problèmes. Il ne s'agit ni d'un cours magistral, ni d'une conférence, mais d'une discussion à bâtons rompus détendue qui est plus facile d'accès pour certaines personnes.

Il apparaît que cette réunion devrait être plus structurée. Pour une meilleure prise en compte de ce type de réunion, il sera demandé aux uns et aux autres quels sujets ils voudraient aborder.

Ankh est venue nous expliquer de façon détaillée ce qu'est une machine virtuelle, comment la créer et s'en servir. Un sujet qui a retenu l'attention de tous.

Il a aussi été question d'une clé USB bootable, particulièrement pour tester les versions Linux et des problèmes avec le setup pour certaines machines.

Enfin, sur Francopholie, le mémorial continue de se mettre en place.

Je suis parti à ce moment-là.

LadyKa: Merci Prodyck pour ce compte-rendu ! Et Merci Hicks d'en être le messager. J'ajoute que nous allons essayer de faire régulièrement un petit résumé des échanges, après chaque rencontre. 1 month ago
Planned Maintenance this morning took out 3 nodes of our High Availability Cluster. the cluster moved things around to keep things online. We lost 2 nodes out of our Mariadb 5-node Galera cluster and brought them back automatically total down time I reckon 5-10 minutes for what for some grids would have ben a catastrophic failure. https://www.wolf-grid.com
