Thank you all for making "Wizardry" a great sim. I get hundreds of visitors here! People come to get magical gadgets, or the famous magic huds. I've had so many people pick up copies of the witches hud, the fairy hud, the elven hud, the vampires magic ring hud. I've even had a few people pick up copies of the most powerful magic hud of all, The Wizard Hud. In addition gadgets like the x-ray spy device which let you see active scripts around you when you wear it as a hud, and gadgets like the person lag detector, which shows how much lag people around you are causing. Paw Prints, Magic Aura, Magic Sensor and many of the gadgets have become your personal artifacts, and you have become my friends! This photo is a new remodel of the magic shop in Wizardry, with everything neatly organized and strewn about haphazardly all just for you. P.s. check out the tiny golden chest at the front of the store, it's just brimming over with magical witch items! :)

Presenting the OVERWATCH SENTRY. What does it do? Well, you can enter a list of grids to ban, people to ban by name, ip, or key. It also monitors each person that comes into your sim, and if they are wearing too many scripts to try and crash your sim, it bans them. If they are using too much sim memory and eating up all system resources, it bans them. If they are flying and you turn off flying in the system, it bans them. If they are too tall or too short, it bans them. So it does a lot, and it's all settable by you. I didn't do ban by age because avatar age is unreliable and can return a 0 day age. The device is by the christmas tree at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/wizardry. It's a different kind of device from a security system. Security systems ban everyone except those you allow in. This lets everybody in - but it checks them to make sure they are not hacking or trying to hurt your sim, but it can also ban people from a list. It's really simple to use, just add the name to the appropriate list in the objects inventory, then just click to turn it on. Only the owner can turn it on or off.

Oggi scrivo perche sono veramente arrabbiata e ritengo che non sia questo il modo in cui si dovrebbe "giocare" nel metaverso .
Troppe invidie , troppe paranoie ...appena entri in una land subito che ti vengono in I.M. per dirti che non si può copiare nulla.......ma non vi sembra di essere tutti un po troppo ridicoli?
Capisco i creatori....ma quelli che gia copiano roba degli altri che vogliono???
E poi diciamocelo quasi tutto quello in open sim è stato "rubato " da second life con programmi non proprio leciti e legali!
Quindi dico rilassatevi...se uno lascia il "copia" non vedo perche non copiare....diverso è se come detto prima si usano programmi non leciti e allora è giusto protestare .
Poi a volte vi dimenticate che questa NON E' LA REALTA'!
Qui non ci si sposa davvero...non ci si fidanza davvero non si va a letto a dormire davvero......VIVETE LA VITA REALE CHE E' MEGLIO!

Thank to Verna Avril and that suzan von otter for finding a bug that causes Local accounts to be banned even though they are not on the list, if the list contained spaces or a null line with just a carriage return line feed. Version 12 is released in their honor and contains this new function. Special thanks to princeofAmor for suggesting to ignore npc's. That cuts out 5 additional operations per iteration making the device faster if you have npc's on your land. :)

NEW VERSION 12. By popular request, it now also tells the person as well as the owner why a person was banned. Also flying is ON by default.

TO THOSE GRIDS THAT BLOCK US...

There are 7 of us, me who made the grid for the others, and 6 students, who rotate. We don't even change our avatar, we still have the same clothes, skin...

We like to go to the list of new regions to see what people have made new. If you don't want us to go, why advertise them on this site?

If you're afraid we'll rip you off, we dare you to find something on our grid that's not for sale. Even, when there is some special work, we post it and next to it we put a link to your grid (as in the case of Cherry Manga, Flora, Lani...).

We are not your competition in anything, we don't rent regions, we are not interested in users (although they are welcome if they prefer to be here).
As we said in another post, if someone wants something of what we do, ask us, we almost always forget to put it in copy or for sale).

In fact, the Welcome region, we have made it with links to this site and to places that we believe that anyone who comes to Opensim should know, because of their work.

On the other hand, we are disappointed with the people... it is sad, when they pass by you and even if you say hello, you do not receive the slightest sign of friendship. This is what hurts us the most (in our homes we are always forced since we were kids to say "hello" when you arrive and "goodbye" when you leave), indifference is punished with a "scolding".

We are so few and this is the relationship we are looking for... not even a "hello"... but a "don't come closer, I won't let you".

So, after this rambling, I leave you with the image of the endangered species of freshwater fish, which I'm sure we have stolen from Kittely or some similar site :))))

Long live freedom and death to the Troll!!!

It has come to my attention that many of the sound players were broken in dragonfyre due to an opensimulator version upgrade. As a result I have re-made the sound players for dragonfyre and put them in a box at wizardry region. This includes birds, ocean, waterfall, doves cooing, crickets, and more. Simply put these phantom boxes out, and make them transparent. They will play the sounds they are labeled with.

I think the next AV i make will be a Gypsy, for the last three years on OS, i have had to change accounts and such three times for grid closings or other such non-sense... just getting tired of packing all my stuff and moving... so i need a good Gypsy outfit and a Caravan for sure.... special Thanx to Kashi of Virtual Zone Grid, one of the metaverse's constants.

Happy New Year to everyone from the Resurgence Family to yours!

Our celebration begins shortly and everyone is welcome. 2 DJ's today and starting the night is DJ Sid The Rock. He is warming up his stream right now for your enjoyment!

Mattie will bring you safely into the New Year, which hopefully will be a more peaceful one than this year. So, if you're not busy with real life, Mattie would be happy to meet you at the party location, specially made temporarily for this event to have a good time with friends!

To everyone else who can't be there, we wish you a Happy New Year in advance and see you next year!

Your Stark Islands family

The OpenSim Community Conference is, of course, next weekend. Here are five bits of info about the event. Did you know them all?
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2023/12/five-bits-about-oscc...
Here's the menu to the feast of fun...which talks are you planning on coming to hear? https://conference.opensimulator.org/schedule/

Dear they Crabby,
I'm writing to you today to express my disappointment in the toxic and immature culture that has developed on this site. I am a creative person who enjoys coming here to share my work and connect with other creative people. However, I have found that the majority of the fire conversations on this site are focused on criticizing others and their work. This is incredibly discouraging and has made me feel unwelcome here.
I understand that everyone has different opinions, but there is a difference between constructive criticism and simply being mean. When you constantly focus on people's faults and short comings, you are not helping them to improve. In fact, you are likely making them feel worse about themselves, and it will also do the same to you.
I urge you to stop with the toxic posts and focus on being more positive. This is a creator space, so let's focus on creating! Let's share our work and ideas with each other and build each other up. Let's have fun and make this a place where everyone feels welcome.
If you are unable to be positive, then please log off. There is no need to spread your negativity here.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Creator
P.S. I have linked to a website that provides resources for dealing with toxic behavior. I encourage you to check it out. https://cimhs.com/
I hope you will take my words to heart. I believe that we can create a more positive and welcoming environment here if we all work together.

Lastly, Set boundaries even if it creates guilt. When dealing with toxic behavior, knowing where to draw the line is critical. ...
1. Avoid getting drawn into the drama. ...
2. Talk with them about it. ...
3. Resist trying to fix things. ...
4. Limit your time around them. ...
*5. Above all, ditch the blame.*

Hello non-virtual people,
I come to ask for advice.
I have my grid's homepage set up with Joomla, which is old and outdated because the Jopensim module hasn't been updated again (a pity, because the work this person did was wonderful).
I've tried with Wordpress, and it's not going very well either.
I would like it if you could suggest alternatives for the registration and the grid's website. I am already discouraged, thinking I am a dinosaur on the verge of extinction.

Another thing, the other day I made a web viewer for the grid, a shame, it goes too slow and the new generations are about pressing buttons, not following a huge tutorial to be able to download, set up, and enter a Grid (I know it seems easy to you), but they look at me with eyes of "what???"
Has anyone ever tried this before?
Well, I hope for your advice, especially opinions, and I deeply appreciate it.

This Sunday Kimm Starr, Cooper Swizzle and Koshari Mohana will be guests on Inworld Review with Mal Burns and Thirza Ember. We'll be discussing the OpenSim Worlds Fair. Please tune in at 12 noon SLT.
Are you a Grid owner, builder, artist, techie, educator, scriptor, fashion designer or entertainer? Watch the show this Sunday to find out how to get involved.

Many of you share items via a store on your land or even a shopping mall. But how do people find it?

Distribution of new content on grids makes for a better user experience for everyone and we can all agree that owning a store is more fun when there are visitors are using it!

From the 1st - 25th of each month the OS-expo opens its doors to the public where they can see the latest item available in YOUR store.

So grab a booth, display your vendor picture or item and watch your store traffic grow!

I finally came up with something I could use these textures on. Executioner's Pavilion. It isn't easy to photograph and probably looks better in person. When you walk in drums start pounding with a script that starts it up when you get close, so they aren't going all the time. Things are coming along...
