The plot thickens!
Over the next few days it will be possible to choose your parcel on the opensimfest Grid using a new webpage on opensimfest.com

We are working as fast as we can to get your access to the grid and open registration for those who opt to use local avatars (HG avatars can be added/invited to your parcel groups).
For those planning to use HG avs only, contact Shelenn.Ayres @grid.metaversedepot.com:8002 (note we cannot invite HG avs to the parcel groups until you visit the OSFest 2022 grid so we need to coordinate times)

Avoiding Being Naked In Public.
In some cultures, if someone praises something you have, you should give it to them. I often get praise about my outfits, which means that I could often end up naked, even right out in public! oh HELLO helps me avoid this predicament. I can say, "Like what I'm wearing? You can get free it at my shop."

(I don't know. Maybe they want to see me naked? Too bad, so sad).

Well, this is an outfit even I am praising myself about! I added a jacket to a dress that has a silver-colored corset and also added thigh-high boots with silver accents. The accessories and hair perfectly compliment the look. Compliments! Nice.

I should mention that this is a past group gift. Get it, the current, and all other past group gifts (11 in total) by means of a clever scheme -- that is, joining the Friends of Xinashi group. It's a great way to be alerted to new outfits in the shop.

oh HELLO: We help you avoid being naked in public.

It's the butt, right?
I'm wearing shorts named "Look At Me". And what, exactly, are people going to be looking at? The butt, right? But if you can look at more than the shorts, you'll see lots to love about this, admittedly, butt-centric outfit. Stop by the oh HELLO shop to see both the "look at me" butt and "ooo-la-la" front on display on the greeter NPC.

oh HELLO: Outfits with Ooo-la-la.

ARE U TIRED OF DRAMA HERE? ENOUGH FROM RL?U should grab then a copy of my new release, the 3D DRAMA DOG for ur area.. Available for FREE and FULL PERM. Get it NOW.. dont make me.... mad... (drama) lolol

*** NEW RELEASE ****NG - NEXT GENERATION GREEDY GAME TABLES *** Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Please read notecard READ ME before using table + controller as there are many extra features! I reproduce text from NC here though:
NG GREEDY TABLES NOW are in 2 pieces;

- Table itself (around 41 prims, depending on model used and only 3 scripts);
- Greedy Controller Board (GCB) (89 prims and 1 script); and it can be paired to only ONE TABLE!


ATTENTION: ALWAYS REZ THE TABLE BEFORE THE OTHER PARTS OTHERWISE THE PAIRING WON`T WORK! WHEN BOARD REZED IT SHOWS IN GREEN "SELECT A TABLE". WHEN PEOPLE STARTS PLAYING THE GAME, BOARD SHOWS "GAME IN PROGRESS" IN YELLOW. IF THESE SENTENCES DON`T SHOW UP, DELETE BOTH TABLE AND BOARD AND START ALL AGAIN.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------(GCB) GREEDY CONTROLLER BOARD

ACCESS: U can now set who will be able to change the settings from ur table.

JOIN ON SIT (*): When selected, players will be added automatically to the game when they sit down. If not selected, they need sit down and click JOIN.

(*) Selected or not, players can play the game without sitting down (since they are not far away from table - see PLAY RANGE).

POINTS MODE:
KEEP: Let`s say player A makes 1,4K and leave two dices to be rolled. So next player, B, can choose either ROLL with this two dices left or click STOP and then ROLL again, so table will refresh to 6 dices to rolled. But If player B decides to roll with these two dices left and at least one of them is "1" or a "5" and press STOP he will KEEP the 1,4K points made by player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

STEAL: Exactly like KEEP mode but if player B rolls a "1" or "5" from the two dices left from player A and press STOP he will STEAL the 1,4K points from player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

CLASSIC: Like on V6 tables, so no KEEP / STEAL mode enabled.

DEVIL DICE: When selected, eventually a devil will show instead of a numbered dice. It works like a "joker dice" u often see from SL tables: u can select any value to that dice to make a combo with a highest score possible. Eg: U have two "6". so u could make the devil dice to be a "6" so u will have 6,6,6 (600 points).

SOUNDS: When selected, sounds from table will be ON; when unselected, OFF (sounds volume can be controlled by the buttom VOLUNME);

PARTICLES: It refers to particles threw when game is over: when selected, ON when unselected, OFF;

CHAT: It refers to open chat messages coming from the table during a game: When selected, ON (a); when unselected, OFF (b).

(a) Open chat will be read by players only though. Very handy if u need rez 2 or more tables, close to each other.
(b) Only table reset and winner info will be displayed. Very handy for rezzing tables at club areas.



POINTS TO WIN: It refers the max points a player should reach to be the winner;

POINTS TO JOIN: It refers the min points a player should have to be "in the board".

PLAY RANGE: It refers how far in meters a player can play the game and be recognized by the table. In this case, player needs to press JOIN to join the game. If it occurs the player is > 64 meters, table will do the self cleaning.

ROUND TIME: Time in seconds, a player can play his turn, starting conter AFTER player rolls the dice.

SKIP IDLE: Time in seconds a player has to roll the dices when its ur turn, otherwise a red skip button will show up (between ROLL and STOP on table) and ANYONE (*) can skip the current player.. Very handy for lazy players who are watching Facebook instead of playing greedy lol).

(*) Player won`t able to skip him/herself though.

OBS: When SKIP IDLE is selected to 0 (zero) it will be considered as disabled during the game.


SKIP POINTS: It refers the points given to who skips a player. A such nice incentive to skip lazy players :)

VOLUME: As name says, it controls the volume of sound from table.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun!

DreamGrid statistics from the last 9 months:

39,918 regions hosted

250,962 standard Second Life-sized region equivalents

For comparison, Second Life has approximately 54,760 standard-sized region equivalents at the high end.

That's an extraordinary amount of virtual land supported by DreamGrid installations!

https://www.reddit.com/r/DreamGrid/comments/1x7uhpv/dreamg...

I’m about to make an unpopular post — not because it’s cruel, but because it breaks the narratives people cling to. And today, I’m breaking them.

TLDR: Just download Wolf Viewer, come get a free account, and see!

I’m on Wolf Territories now. Before that, I spent years in a certain non‑hypergrid virtual world starting in 2006. I left for over a decade because it was too expensive and too technically demanding. When I returned, I found myself boxed in again — prim limits, permission limits, high costs, and almost no free resources. I limped along.

Then I went to OSCC in Nov 2020. I saw the educators who had already escaped the old world. They had better avatars, better tools, better environments. One of them showed me around, and that was it — I was home.

I’m an educator with 32 years of consulting experience and Fortune‑level clients. That old world once helped me build a business presence that made serious money from 2007–2010. Even with restrictions, we proved what could be done.

But my criteria have always been different from the average hypergrid resident:
- Tech first. Support first.
- Community optional.
- Forward motion mandatory.
- No grid‑owner celebrity cults.
- I am a customer, not a worshipper.

These are my standards. They won’t fit everyone, and that’s fine.
Wolf Territories met them. More than met them. This grid is not just ahead — it’s operating on enterprise infrastructure with boutique pricing. And no, it’s not free. You cannot get 14 servers, dual object storage, and active development for free. You cannot get Fortune‑grade tech leadership for free. You cannot get enterprise internet for free.

And yet, it is STILL affordable. Especially compared to that unnamed world.

Our grid owner isn’t trying to be a clone of the unnamed world. He’s demonstrating real tech capability, just like I used to do for my clients.

And now, in just the last few months, Wolf Territories has rolled out features that fundamentally change what OpenSim can be:
1) Wolf Viewer
A new, security‑focused viewer built for modern infrastructure — not legacy assumptions.

2) Accessibility Tools
Real tools for teaching, learning, and play. Actual accessibility baked into the platform.

3) True Gaming Systems
A built‑in framework for real game mechanics — not hacked scripts or half‑solutions. Actual game development inside OpenSim.

4) Integrated Mixer & Broadcasting
Music, DJing, podcasting — all native. No external tools. No duct tape. Just seamless creation and broadcast.

5) Environmental & Vehicle Systems
- Clouds, water waves, surfing, real system water on a prim, and proper vehicle controls:
* Cars
* Planes
* Submarines
* Ships
* Boats
* Helicopters
Not “sort of works if you’re lucky.” Actual physics. Actual control.

6) Free Inworld Office Space, Inworld Shops, and Streams for residents!
Land owners get these things regardless of plot size.

7) Built‑In Compass
Added because one very directionally challenged individual begged for it. (You’re welcome.)

8) Terrain Painting & Built‑In Weather System + EEP
Region lighting and weather that can match nearly any real‑world location. Snow and rain use particles — not mesh. Snow accumulates on the ground while it’s falling. You can paint your terrain instead of using the texture pallet - which you can still do.

9) AI Integration (Unparalleled)
On‑ground AI that can:
- Write accurate LSL
- Run AI NPCs with spontaneous, natural conversation
- Assist with teaching, roleplay, creativity
- And anything else you think of — Lone will likely build it

10) Extreme Terrain Capability
Mountains up to over 800m high. Depths down to 100m below water.

11) Incredibly generous prim packages
Up to 12M prims….because there are now 1000x1000 VAR regions (and yes, THOSE are EXPENSIVE)

12) Generous complexity for mesh uploads

13) Incredibly high reliability / uptime
Enterprise stability. Not hobby‑grade.

14) Enterprise-level security
- A far more secure viewer
- A control panel for land owners
- OAR uploads on demand and checked for being secure and virus-free
- No requirements for approval of new accounts - because that is not a security issue for this grid

Every day, Lone releases something new — for fun, for education, for creativity.
And that is why I am here.
Not because it is free or nearly free.
Not because it is the cheapest or the most expensive (because it is not).
Not because I’m friends with Lone Wolf… AND I AM.
Not because I am required to volunteer… AND I DO.
I am here because Wolf Territories is affordable, best value, technology‑advanced, and has a great community. Come and download Wolf Viewer, get a free account, and start REALLY LIVING in a virtual world!

Nach Mitteilung sei Tomi Balboa in der Nacht vom 04. auf 05. Oktober verstorben.
Wir erfuhren dies über eine Woche später am Dienstag den 13.Oktober, dass Tomi Balboa schon von Sonntag, den 04.Oktober auf Montag, den 05.Oktober im Krankenhaus verstorben sein soll.
Smaili dachte dass Tomi Balboa im Krankenhaus ins Koma gelegt worden sei und nach Angaben von Smaili wurde Tomi eine Woche zuvor mit Rettungswageneinsatz am Mittwoch den 23.September wegen Herzinfarkt ins Krankenhaus gebracht und wurde die Woche darauf am Dienstag,den 29.September mit Entlassbrief vom Krankenhaus entlassen und 4 Tage später am Samstag, den 03.Oktober bekam er einen zweiten Herzinfarkt, wir konnten einen Rettungseinsatz veranlassen. Am Sonntag,den 04.Oktober um 10:27 Uhr hatte Tomi Smaili angeschrieben und sagte er sei jetzt im Krankenhaus, nicht intensiv sondern in einem normalen 2 Bett Zimmer mit anderem Patienten zusammen.Er sagte er hätte am Samstag einen zweiten Herzinfarkt bekommen und hofft das es der letzte war, er schrieb noch er sei am Samstag Abend vom Stuhl gefallen und konnte nicht aufstehen und nicht telefonieren, hätte starke Schmerzen gehabt. Seine letzter gemeinsamer Chatkontakt zu Smaili war am Sonntag den 04.Oktober um 17:27 Uhr und ab 19:04 Uhr hatte er nicht mehr geantwortet, deswegen war die Vermutung das er ins Koma versetzt wurde.
Was dann folglich Sonntag auf Montag in der Nacht des 04. auf 05.Oktober im Krankenhaus passiert ist wissen wir nicht. Smaili war noch nicht bereit es zu veröffentlichen dass er verstorben sei.

According to reports, Tomi Balboa passed away during the night of October 4th to 5th.
We learned of this more than a week later, on Tuesday, October 13th specifically, that Tomi Balboa had reportedly passed away in the hospital between Sunday, October 4th, and Monday, October 5th.
Smaili believed that Tomi Balboa had been placed in a medically induced coma at the hospital. According to Smaili, Tomi had been taken to the hospital by ambulance a week earlier, on Wednesday, September 23rd, following a heart attack. He was discharged the following week, on Tuesday, September 29th, with a discharge letter. Four days later, on Saturday, October 3rd, he suffered a second heart attack, at which point we were able to arrange for an ambulance. On Sunday, October 4th, at 10:27 a.m., Tomi messaged Smaili to say that he is now in the hospital not in the intensive care unit, but in a standard two-bed room, sharing the space with another patient.He said that he had suffered a second heart attack on Saturday and hoped it would be his last. He also wrote that he had fallen from his chair on Saturday evening and was unable to get up or make a phone call, experiencing severe pain. His last chat interaction with Smaili took place on Sunday, October 4th, at 5:27 PM; he stopped responding at 7:04 PM, which led to the assumption that he had been placed in a medically induced coma.
We do not know what subsequently happened at the hospital during the night from Sunday, October 4th, to Monday, October 5th. Smaili was not yet ready to make the news of his passing public.

SVPortal v2.0 Beta 1 is now available.

This release brings the new setup registry to replace most of the configuration in config.php (some items have to stay there - like database connection details: you cant get the database connection details from the database until you know how to connect to the database!)

Existing users will need to upgrade their grid settings, and a script is provided to do this - but please read the note on the download at https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/.

Please visit https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/ for more information, and download.

NOTE: SVPortal is a totally separate standalone application running in PHP. It is not a plugin to WordPress or any other CMS it is a full application by itself.

Vehicle couplings on Wolf Territories: trailers, caravans and trains that really hitch up.

Trailers and caravans on Wolf Territories are now joined to their vehicle by a real physics joint in the region's physics engine (ubODE and BulletSim both), not a script chasing the truck. The trailer swings, tracks round corners and is pulled like the real thing.

How it works
- The front vehicle (truck, car, locomotive) gives itself a coupler key and names its hitch points: a fifth wheel, a tow ball, a coupler hook.
- The rear (trailer, caravan, carriage) asks to attach to that key at that point. Back the truck up to the trailer and it couples once the hitch points are within reach (3 m by default).
- The coupling is saved in the object and comes back after a region restart, after editing, and across region crossings, until you detach.
- It uses your own key name, not a UUID, so it survives take and rez. Only vehicles with the same owner couple, so your key never clashes with anyone else's.

New LSL functions

wolfCouplerSetKey, wolfCouplerSetPoint, wolfCouplerRemovePoint, wolfAttach, wolfDetach, wolfAttachInfo

Joint types: WOLF_JOINT_BALL (tow ball, caravans), WOLF_JOINT_FIFTHWHEEL (articulated lorries),
WOLF_JOINT_COUPLER (railway)
Status: WOLF_ATTACH_NONE, WAITING, COUPLED, BROKEN. Pull a pair too far apart and it breaks away.

Full documentation with copy-paste examples:
https://wolf-grid.com/index.php?f=lsl

The WolfStorm web viewer's script editor already highlights the new functions and shows their tooltips.

Come and try them: truck and trailer, car and caravan, and a train running on its own railway loop are on the Sandbox region.

ypergrid: grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Sandbox

Couplings are rolling out across the grid today; each region picks them up at its restart. These are Wolf Territories features and won't work on other grids.

gyazo has been down for a few weeks. who knows if they will return. I made a desktop screenshot tool that's simple, lightweight and opensource. It uses Control+Shift+G instead of C because lots of things use C including camera tools in firestorm, so it's hella annoying. G has no conflicts i've found yet. You can install peepski or build your own if you want. get it at https://peepski.com/ :)

Food for thought:

From underneath the trees, we'd watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive" (I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
"A-amen, I, amen, I, I'm alive
Amen, I, amen, I, amen, I" (I'm alive)
And in the air, the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive" (I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen, I, I'm alive"
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realise how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
And if everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day (died) when nobody died

A HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE LINKUP TEAM!

The LinkUp Team would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who joined us today for the Grand Opening of LinkUp Grid!

We are truly grateful for all the wonderful support, kind messages, congratulations, and encouragement we have received as we take this exciting step and place LinkUp Grid on the OpenSim map!

Today has been incredibly special, and we couldn't have asked for a better community to share it with.

Thank you for being part of the LinkUp Memories.
Here's to new friendships, new adventures, creativity, and many exciting times ahead!

With love and appreciation,
The LinkUp Team

Hi everyone.

I wanted to introducing OpenSim-Aura, a fork of OpenSim optimized for Hypergrid visitors & mini-grids.

I've been working on a custom distribution of OpenSim and wanted to share it with the community.

If you run a standalone region, a mini-grid, or a region where the majority of your traffic comes from Hypergrid visitors, or if you spend most of your own time HG traveling, this project might be of interest to you.

Compiled Binaries (Releases): https://github.com/amandaleeang/OpenSim-Aura/releases

RUIN CONSTRUCTION SET – 20 High-Quality Pieces for your own Ruin

With this Ruin Construction Set, you get twenty (!) high-quality individual pieces that can be freely combined with one another. Walls, arches, stairs, columns, floor sections, rubble and other elements can be assembled into your very own beautiful ruin.

Special care was taken to make sure that every single piece has its own distinctive texture. Weathered stone, different signs of age, greenish patina and individual surface details help ensure that the finished ruin does not look like a generic construction kit.

Nothing here is “off the shelf.” The set has been carefully put together so that all the individual parts work well together while still allowing every ruin to look different.

You can find the Ruin Construction Set at the “Green Market.”

When you arrive at Fleetwood Beach, simply click the nearest Teleport Pad and select “Green Market” from the menu.

Or, of course, you can walk to the Green Market instead. It may take a little longer, but it is excellent for your virtual fitness. 😉

And if you still cannot build a beautiful ruin with 20 different ruin pieces...

Well.

Then I really don’t know what else to suggest.

I look forward to your visit and hope you have lots of fun building!
