NPC Bots
- All the actors featured are scripted NPC ( Non Player Character ) bots
- How to get NPC maker
- The NPC maker in the article above will duplicate the avatar that clicks on it
- and will animate the clone with an animation in the maker's contents.
The NPC Maker uses the function: osNpcCreate. This function is marked as high threat and appears to have some undocumented limitations on who can use it in a particular sim. It seems that use is limited to the sim owner and some others with high level authority in the owning group or in the sim.

All the actors featured are scripted NPC ( Non Player Character ) bots - but the sharp eyed might spot the director making a Hitchcock style cameo appearance.
Our heroine gets involved with a bad dude but ultimately comes out on top in this classic folk noir tale.
Hypergrid warning
When you visit Belfast and go elsewhere, your avatar may have been modified in a way that prevent you from making another Hypergrid trip from Kitely and perhaps from some other grids. That was my experience. The problem is cured by relogging.
I asked about the problem in the Kitely forum and go this information from Oren Hurvitz, Co-Founder and VP R&D, Kitely:
This problem is caused by a bug that used to be in OpenSim. The bug was fixed on Feb 20, 2014 by justincc. Regions that are running OpenSim 0.8.0 and haven't been updated since Feb 20 will exhibit this behavior (the creation of bad items called "Failed Wearable Replacement").
Please contact the owners of the regions and ask them to update their OpenSim, since the release version of OpenSim 0.8.0 doesn't have this bug, and it fixes other important bugs as well, such as the "disappearing attachments" problem.
Here are a couple of regions that have this bug:
1. Maritime Club Belfasthg.osgrid.org:80:Maritime Club BelfastOpenSim 0.8.0 Dev OSgrid 0.8.0 (Dev) 966ab21: 2014-01-24 (Win/.NET)(OpenSim Date: Jan 24, 2014)
2. Hypericahg.hyperica.com:8022OpenSim 0.8.0 Dev a8e64cd59a7a296b7cae6fc0a66255a7f566e10d r/24323 (Unix/Mono)(OpenSim Date: Feb 1, 2014)

********************Contests and dated calls/invitations
The Journal of Virtual Studies currently has a call for papers open. The journal is peer reviewed and focuses on the use of virtual spaces for knowledge immersion. Do you work or research in Second Life, OpenSim or any other virtual platform? Have you been engaged in research, exploration or reflection when using MMPORG’s? Have you discovered a virtual space with knowledge immersion possibilities or have you engaged in a fascinating new way to explore the virtual through any number of immersive online applications?
These and many other questions are explored by the JoVS. The Fall 2014 issue is expected to publish in September. For details, see here: Journal of Virtual Studies
