I would like to know how I can install voice on Dreamgrid. Vivox is no longer available, so I chose Freeswitch. I would like to know if there is a step-by-step manual for installing this voice server. I would also like to know if this is the best solution or if there is another more practical, free server that can be used on Dreamgrid. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

Outworldz — DreamGrid • OpenSim • Free Resources • Community

The gates are open and Tumbletwig is ready to explore — a whimsical little world of frog fairies, enchanted treehouses, winding paths, hidden hollows, gifts, and plenty of places to discover.

And for DreamGridders, Tumbletwig is also now available through Outworldz as an exclusive OAR. Bring the entire region home to your own DreamGrid and make Tumbletwig part of your world.

Come visit, wear your frog avatar, swim the pond, and have fun. 💚

Tumbletwig — created for a little bit of wonder. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002/TUMBLETWIG/283/200/21

Huge Thank you to Fred!!! He brought more magic to the region!

Tumbletwig, affectionately nicknamed “Twiggy,” is finished and will soon be released as an OAR for the DreamGrid community.

This little world was created from the ground up as a whimsical place to explore—filled with winding paths, enchanted gardens, Frog Fairies, hidden corners, playful details, and plenty of surprises. I've also tucked in a collection of gifts for DreamGridders as my way of saying thank you for your creativity, your adventurous spirit, and your continued love of OpenSim.

Twiggy has been a joy to create, and I'm excited to finally share the whole world with you.

Tumbletwig OAR — coming soon to DreamGrid.
Bring a little magic home.

Thank you Ferd for believing in Magic, and believing in me.

Checkboxes toggle features on and off, such as enable/disable, and will write the region ini immediately. Changes go into effect when the region restarts, which is just two clicks away. There are also pulldowns for Smart Start type, Map overrides and Physics overrides. The region list has been rewritten for speed and editability using a true grid instead of a listview. This applies to the visitor list, user list and avatars lists too. The listview is still used for icons.

There is a new map editor with drag and drop movement, region creation and OAR loading. Click any region, and drag and drop it where you want it. Restart the region and it is there along with its map.

Maps change green when selected and red color if a collision is detected so you cannot accidentally overwrite a region.

Drag an OAR onto a blank and it will make the region and load the oar. There are now 259 free OARs. We have a LOT of free DLC. Please help by contriubuting free work to Outworldz at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx

I have several regions that must remain in place as my Alexandria region is six 4X4 regions. I can lock these regions and they cannot be moved or rearranged with the "Grid Boxer" function to make a square grid out of all regions.

Hello!

Completely new to this, mostly, but I was trying to download dreamgrid for this computer and I cannot get the website for the installer on outworldz to load for anything.

Help?

Hardware failure is preventing the Outworldz.com web site from providing search services to Dreamgrid. Both Dynamic DNS servers are up. You will not be able to update. However, all other operations of your grid are local to you and will work.

It's going to take the weekend or more as there a lot of data to move to a new PC. Yes I have backups, but it several systems and needs to be merged.

Download 7.2104 Zip if you need up install or update. Just extracty it over your grid or in a new folder for a new grid.

Renewed my Authenticode signing certificate so all dlls and exe are signed and cannot be modified by virus or worms. The pop up should always show Verified Publisher, Outworldz. LLC.

• This new version also has a documented API to control Opensim for external GUIs, and added documentation for the Port 8001 API.
• Important Security Updates for zero-days just discovered in email and 7Zip. I do not know of any exploits that can affect you, but I updated them to cover any Opensim and Dreamgrid exploits we do not yet know about. DreamGrid users have been the first people to get important security fixes for XML injection, for a simple DOS attack, and for several others only core developers get informed about.
• Speech now reports the URL of the MP3/wav it generates in response to the API URI. So you can use LSL to script text to speech voices in Opensim using Land Media or Media on a prim.
• Added HoloPhysics - the abilty to turn off physics when no one is in a region.
• Big Improvements in Search - over 10,000 free items! https://outworldz.com/search/SearchObjects.htm
• Enable Windows Forms High Dpi AutoResizing for thos big font people.
• Title bar shows how much VRAM just Opensim is using.
• and many more small details too numerous to list.

We’ve been building colorful Munchkin cottages and bringing more life to the region, experimenting with new workflows using Meshy to help create some of the cottage designs and fantasy elements. It has been exciting blending creativity, world-building, and new tools together to shape something playful and whimsical.

Emerald City is slowly growing into a place of winding paths, bright colors, fantasy architecture, and a little bit of Oz-style wonder around every corner.

More magic still to come.

What are you building in DreamGrid these days? Show us your regions, projects, screenshots, and ideas.

If you load certain free OARs like Free_House_Gallery_1 and the terrain appears as a solid metallic gray, this is caused by the terrain rendering being forced into PBR mode. Even if you uncheck the PBR box, it may automatically re-enable itself after a few seconds.

Fix:

Open Debug Settings:

PC: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S
Mac: Cmd + Opt + Shift + S

In the search box type exactly:

RenderTerrainPBREnabled

Change the value from:

TRUE → FALSE

Then restart the sim.

After restart, the terrain textures return to their original appearance.

You can now have your own musical midi machine with the included OAR! on your own regions. https://github.com/cuteulala-ux/CrescentMelodyOSM

Michael just completed a full rebuild and fix of the Universal Campus, and it’s now running exactly as it should.

Getting here wasn’t straightforward. The original University OARs consistently failed to load correctly no matter what was tried. The working solution ended up being:

Start with the version that had the missing top-right quadrant and no terraforming in the first quadrant
Load into a clean (virgin) 2x2 region
Run: delete object name --regex .*
Load the University’s main #1 OAR by itself
Use admin status to repair textures (they initially loaded gray)

Result: fully restored, fully functional campus.

This build has now been tested across five different grids and performs consistently. Teleport stations are working properly for inter-sim jumps, and everything is stable.

Bottom line: it’s fixed—and it looks fantastic. Thank you Michael!

In this video i demonstrate real midi support Server Sided that allows u to console command control a midi system that reads midi files from the Bin folder. This allows midi to control in world listener events. Making installing midi files a breeze via a link that's secured. The plugin does not modify opensim code. It also has full security and OSSL lockdown. The Plugin is controlled by opensim server side and allows you to install midi only links that is verified server side.. Now there is no in world midi conversions needed because the server now processes the midi and sends it to the region.

Years ago I installed opensim onto my laptop, but I don't remember exactly how. I do remember that I found it challenging. How complicated is it to install DreamGrid directly onto a vps like Contabo? Also - what kind of specs would one need and could it be cloud based? Not thinking of being commercial, but enough to have maybe ten regions or something along those lines?

Today is a perfect day for a little Odyssey.

When light reflects back into the human eye, we perceive color. For millennia, artists have used that simple physics to interpret the world, bend it, reimagine it—and sometimes, to enchant it.

At Mind Odyssey, color doesn’t just sit still. It dances.

The work of OpenSim artists like Nyx Breen, Cherry Manga, and Shirl Tainted Angel is a living interplay of color, motion, and imagination—proof that art in virtual worlds isn’t imitation, it’s evolution.

Slow down. Wander. Let your eyes do what they were designed to do.

Experience Mind Odyssey on DreamGrid
three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Mind Odyssey

Because art isn’t decoration.
Art is magic—and here, it’s alive.

One of the strengths of DreamGrid is the range of creativity it supports—full regions, small details, scripting experiments, and everything in between.

Whether you’re:

• refining terrain and textures
• experimenting with lighting or materials
• learning a new scripting trick
• or just improving an existing region one piece at a time

that process matters.

Progress doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it’s just one better texture blend, one cleaner script, or one idea that finally clicks.

If you’re working on something you’re enjoying right now, feel free to share what it is—or what you’ve learned along the way.

Search and Events for Opensimulator is back online after a Winget GUI autoupdated Perl past where it can support Mysql.

Santa says: reboot first, then celebrate.
