Grid Features

Confluence

The grid engine itself - OpenSimulator core plus every natively-built system on this page (currency, search, moderation, admin).

Grid Web Interface

An optional standalone PHP web front-end for the grid - swappable, not required (this built-in WebUI ships by default).

ConfluenceVoice

A Windows-native WebRTC voice backend for this grid's built-in voice chat - no Linux host or Janus Gateway required.

World & Travel

• Hypergrid Travel - Teleport to and from other OpenSim grids
• VarRegions - Larger-than-standard regions with no internal sim-crossing stutter
• On-Demand Regions - Idle regions sleep until a visitor arrives, then wake automatically
• Voice - Built-in WebRTC voice (ConfluenceVoice) - region and parcel-aware, works with Firestorm/AyaneStorm's native WebRTC voice, no third-party subscription needed

Safety & Moderation

• Native Mute List - Server-side mute list, no addon module required
• Grid-Wide Viewer Ban - IP-range and hardware-signature bans enforced at login
• Abuse Reports - In-viewer reporting with a web-based admin queue

Platform Services

• Native Search - Grid-wide place search, integrated with the viewer's own Search window
• SimProtection - Auto-disables scripts/physics on sustained low FPS and re-enables once it recovers; restarts the region if FPS stays near zero
• Scripted NPCs - osNpc bots with avatar-follow and tag-group management

Administration & Building

• Web-Based Admin - Full grid administration - users, estates, regions, currency, events - from any browser
• Mesh & Scripting - Mesh uploads, LSL and OSSL scripting

VarRegions

• Layout: One region with a larger footprint than standard 256x256 (e.g. 512x512 or 1024x1024), no internal border crossings
• Use case: Sailing, aviation, road networks, large landscapes
• Experience: No sim-crossing stutter - avatars and vehicles move smoothly across the whole area

Full-Size Regions

• Layout: Standard 256x256 footprint, the OpenSim default
• Use case: Events, clubs, communities, roleplay hubs
• Prim density: Configurable per region/grid policy, same as any standard region

Lighter-Traffic Regions

• Common naming: Often called "Homestead" or "Openspace" style, by SL-era convention - not a distinct Confluence engine feature
• Use case: Quiet residential areas, scenic or park-style regions, sky/ocean buffer space
• Configuration: An operator tunes prim caps and avatar limits lower for these, same config surface as any other region

Native Currency Active

• Ledger: Built-in transaction history and group treasuries - not a third-party dependency
• Web access: Balance and transaction pages from any browser, no separate money-server process
• Protocol: Answers the same buy/sell currency.php surface real viewers already expect

Gloebit Optional

• What it is: A real-money payment gateway, for grids that want a paid economy instead of (or alongside) the native ledger
• How it's added: Swappable via the addon-modules Gloebit integration - not required, not enabled by default

Marketplace Active

• Browse & Buy: Grid-wide storefront at /marketplace, ConfluenceCurrency checkout, unlimited or real finite stock per listing
• Listing Management: Create and manage listings entirely from the web at /marketplace/manage - drag an item into a folder, no in-world listing station needed
• Viewer Floater: Blocked by Firestorm/AyaneStorm outside real Second Life - use the web pages above instead, same login
