It's an odd problem to do with the parachute animation which seems to be no copy, no mod. If you cam under the plane you'll see the original parachute givers. They should be OK. PS: I've restored the old parachute giver as well as the forced attachment one. The no-fly is as specified by the OAR crea...

I'm on record elsewhere that OpenSim educators should use Kitely next year rather than OSgrid. On the other hand we can't accommodate the same number of avatars as SL with their sim corner arrangement. Anyway, your skills would be most welcome :) PS I have no role within VWBPE or any other conferenc...

I'm fresh back from the VWBPE virtual conference. One non-educational point worth noting is that the new Linden Lab CEO was using one of their new starter avatars. I'm entirely devoid of fashion sense but there seemed to be a feeling that this raised the bar somewhat for the casual user, something t...

This is the Rainforest Island sim, one of two developed by students working on a project headed by Larysa Nadolny and funded by NSF and HP. The version here was downloaded from the project website on 10th April 2014. It needs some attention before it will run nicely on Kitely and as such is a work-i...

OK, I take back "egregious" -- it's not a word I often use anyway. I'm not looking for an argument and there's nothing personal involved.

iED lost all credibility for me after their attack on education in SL in 2010. I also recall that they excluded SL from their supported platform list because it was commercial. They then changed their policy towards commercial platforms so they could include products such as the Rift. They do, howev...

An open air meeting space/auditorium for 80 with four breakout areas for 20 each. Modern would be good but so would Japanese/Asian. :) I'm aware of the Universal Campus and VCE but I think there's still room for additional options. I've mentioned this to other builders but I don't know whether they'...

Ann Cudworth has a new book out shortly entitled Virtual World Design : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/toc/1466579617/ . There's a 20% discount via the publisher using the promo code at http://www.anncudworthprojects.com/#/wv-design-book/ . While I haven't seen the book, I think an integrated ov...

I'd suggest: ability to create and copy temporary regions at low-cost on demand

Actually, the date of arrival for the Rift is interesting. DK2 is slated for July but does anyone know when the first consumer release is likely to be? I had it in mind that they might try to release it for Christmas but I guess it depends on what the games situation is like -- a little bit chicken-...
