Hipihi is open beta now

The indented section following is copied from the HIpihi forums English language forum, the Overseas Zone:

HiPiHi enters open public beta

We are very excited announce the debuting of HiPiHi’s open public beta test, beginning from April 18^th,
2008. From now on, our HiPiHi world will welcome new residents from all
corners around the world and join our existing residents on this
magical land created by yourselves.

During this period, feel free to invite your friends to become new residents through our new resident registration page

For our existing residents (who did not complete the name-change process during April 2nd -17^th),
we will kept your virtual assets on our server but your username runs
the risk of being over-ridden by new residents as their “nickname”. You
can still use your old username and password to take back your assets.

Here are some examples for you to understand your situation:

1. Resident
   “Happygirl” did not complete the name-change process during April 2nd
   -17th. From April 18th, new residents may take this name as their
   nickname.
2. If Resident “happygirl” trys to log in after
   April 18th, she will be auto-directed to the name-change page, where
   she may still use “Happygirl” as her username if it has not been taken
   by new users, or to change her name (e.g. “happgirl_me”) if her old
   name was occupied by a new resident.

We kindly remind you to enter our name-change page as soon as possible to protect your old username.

Note: Please download our 50021 customer side for your usage in this new period.

The English registration page is at http://service.hipihi.com/member/register/en/register.jhtml .

For help in English with Hipihi you can use the Hipihi OverSeas Zone forum, once you’ve registered with Hipihi. Note that the forum software itself is in Chinese.

Another place to go for help in English with Hipihi is http://www.ideashape.cn . Note that the forum software at http://www.ideashape.cn is in English.

There’s also a Hipihi group in facebook.

The downloads from Hipihi have always been slow for me, and they might for you. So – be patient. It’s not like you have to just watch the download screen it’s downloading.

I’m still waiting for the download to complete, so I don’t know exactly what to expect yet.

This is a beta; it’s not the finished product. One can expect to have some rocky riding during a beta.

I’m not sure about the language requirements for this version, or the degree to which the interface is available in English.

So – why not give Hipihi a try?

Hipihi is back up – and so are the Floating Trees

Hipihi 50012 SP1 is running now, the servers are back up and the new client is available for downloading.

This picture shows a problem I’m have several times in Hipihi and have read about others having.

The terrain is showing as rather or completely flat, but the trees are positioned in way that would be appropriate if the terrain was hilly or mountainous.

This is the result of some old terrain date being used for some reason instead of the correct terrain data being loaded from the Hipihi servers.

The usual fix for this is to delete the folder the Hipihi terrain and other data is stored in.

I’m pretty sure that renaming or deleting the Data folder in the Program Files/Hipihi folder will force Hipihi to redownload all the data which will include the appropriate terrain data.

I have done this now and it appears to be working.

This is at Hipihi coordinates -5970 11950, but the problem is not limited to that location.
Well, I tried my usual fix described above and I was hoping to show a picture of this terrain as it it supposed to appear.  Unfortunately this did not solve the problem.   It may be a matter a waiting for a fix at the Hipihi  company end of things.

It’s good to see Hipihi back up in  a timely manner.

Vastpark Pre-Test Test

VastPark had a test Wednesd March 19th, 2008, and I was there.

Nice looking place, except for too many mazes.

[原创]用户离线创造展示[NOVOKING社区]

I think this was created by a user and uploaded into the Novoking world. It is hard for me to read the forum, none of the translators work when you are logged in.

I have not had the pleasure of seeing these inworld.

This picture and a number more are in the Novoking forum at http://www.novoking.com/N_BBS/dispbbs.asp?boardID=28&ID=822&page=1

I just wish I would run into someone inworld.

How to fill in the Meet-Me registration form?

Google translate the registration form below for the Meet-Me virtual world as :

Please enter your personal information. (※: Required)
※ meet me ID –
‘_’,'-’, 3 to 15 alphanumeric characters. Turns is only the beginning.
※ password
Only alphanumeric characters, 6 to 20 characters
※ password
(Check)
※ Name Last Name Name (Kanji)
※ Name Last Name Name (Cana)
※ Sex Male Female
※ date of birth date
※ mail address
※ ZIP code —
State ※

I don’t know what to put for the Name Last Name Name Kanji and the the Name Last Name Name Cana.

I also don’t know what to put for zip code and state – this is from a Japanese company, there is no country asked for, so they must be looking for Japanese address answers.
?
I want to see the Meet-Me world. Can you help?

HTML on a prim – sort of – Release Notes for Second Life Release Candidate 1.19.1(0) March 5th, 2008

This seems to be fairly significant, Second Life will be mainstreaming Windlight and offering a much improved parcel media capability, meaning showing normal web content on a parcel media textured prim instead of just quicktime displayable content.

If anyone has a parcel making use of the new web content capability please let me know, I’d like to take a look.

Release Notes for Second Life 1.19.1(0) March 5th, 2008 – by Linden Lab

Second Life Community Entry Points

Second Life has a number of places that new users can sign up with that start the user out at different places in Second Life, places operated by various third party in partnership with Linden Lab, with the different places having different styles according to the tastes of the Second Life community partner. I was looking for a simple list of these places and I didn’t see one, so I made one. As always when making a static copy of something, errors in copying can occur, and the information may become out of date. These links take you to the sign up pages for these community entry points.

Openlife Grid Ogre

Blogs

Interesting seeing the OGRE engine used to display the openlife world.

There are links to movies but they seem to be broken.
