Exclusive Lone Wolf

2/1/2021

 
​I guess what first attracted me to Wolf Territories was its massive size, 64 4x4s. I remember my first 4x4.  I thought I would never be able to terraform it all and make it flow into one well thought out region, yet Lone Wolf has accomplished just that.
Uniting the region by train is genius and lends itself to the western ambiance of this place, I love it here. 
 
MM I have to say when I first visited your regions, I was in awe as to all the terraforming you have accomplished.  This place is expansive, and the eye for detail is impeccable. How do you accomplish this?
LW  Okay some of it is done by hand, like with the terraforming tool in world. Some is done using a Fractal generator and I have some new terrain on the way built with the amazing e-on VUE software.

​MM What is your vision for your Wolf Territories?
LW  A lot of things really – it started off as the biggest Wild West roleplay area in Opensim (probably beating anything in Second Life as well) but I have departed slightly in certain areas.
  • Trains – I love trains, I’ve built and scripted from scratch my own railroads you can ride.
  • Beautiful scenery that you can spend hours riding through, boating through or just having a rest.

​MM I love how the train takes you around the region please share how you did this and how far does it travel?
LW  Okay I started by building mesh trains and tracks and then scripted them. It’s based on the SLRR model of railroading where you have trains that can follow tracks. I did start off using an open source script  but started again from scratch as the open source one used notecards and when you have over 64 4x4 regions (1024 sims) you can’t be spending all day making notecards. Plus the notecard trains cannot use points. I have a fully working points system. 
 
There are currently 4 train lines although the point set up at Wolf Territories station makes one merge into another, Wolf territories station has 9 platforms just to give you an idea. I am looking to add more lines. The lines go right up into the mountains and I think it’s about ½ hour ¾ hour journey to get round it all on the main lines. That’s without the branch lines of which there are 3 but only 2 are operational at the moment.

​MM The application of textures in the Ballroom is the most perfect I have ever seen, even in Second Life. This is the most beautiful ballroom, it is breathtaking.  Did you create it?
LW  I didn’t actually. The ballroom was created by https://opensimworld.com/user/lunalunaria, I saw it and thought – I’ve got a nice lake that would go nicely with.
 
MM Do you work in blender or photoshop?
LW  I use Blender, Photoshop, Gimp, clara.io 3d software and e-on VUE software
 
MM I love the big barn featuring Rogue Galaxy too, what dates are the events?  
LW  We are on hold with events till the end of Jan at the moment as I have a huge amount of major upgrades to do especially with the terraforming. I want to create some of the most stunning beautiful scenery in any virtual world.
 
MM  The tall ships area for boating looks expansive how large is the boating area?
LW  I have rivers running through pretty much all the sims so there is hours of boating!
Picture
​MM Do you create your items or do you find them around the metaverse?
LW  A bit of both, honestly I prefer to create my own items, sometimes I get things out of world in 3d models and modify them. Sometimes I create from scratch.
 
MM I love how your teleports are set up too, please explain how you laid them out.
LW  Okay the teleports I developed using an off world server so basically you can drop a teleport, create the description and it updates a remote database of teleports. I’m going to soon have a web page with all the destinations in Wolf Territories, there are a lot.
 
MM Will you add other venues for entertainment too?
LW I actually have some hidden away including 3 wedding venues. I will be bringing them on stream probably February.
 
MM What are the themes you will feature here?
LW  Mainly Wild West, but I’m not sticking too strictly if I find something I really like, we do have a very modern club with space age buildings that I’ve been working on and a massive exhibition and concert/conference space at the very top left and right of Wolf Territories.
Picture
​​MM What activities can visitors enjoy while visiting?
LW We have quite a few activities.
  • Train rides
  • Horse Riding
  • Boats/Sailing – we have miles of waterways
  • Our New national park under construction right now will offer the most amazing scenery, it’s to the West of Wolf Territories
Picture
​MM Do you offer rentals?
LW Yes – just contact me and we can discuss what is required, I can offer homes in the mountain, on a reservation, just about anywhere you can think of with a variety of properties available.
MM Will you continue to grow larger or will you stop at a certain size?
LW The plan at the moment is to grow with more servers and just get bigger and bigger! Which will be amazing….we’ll stop when there is nothing left to build.
MM Do you offer any positions to help with the project or do you work solo?
LW I work alone at the moment but I would love to have some more Wolf Territories Peacekeepers on board. Basically these are the Sheriffs/Rangers of Wolf Territories, especially those who are good at landscaping. I’m also looking for performers for our 2 venues.
Picture
​MM I see too that you are a performer, do you write music and sing too?
LW I’m with a Real Life band called Mandolin Monday www.mandolinmonday.com – I do perform in Wolf Territories and at other clubs occasionally. I do write my own material and perform Folk, Rock, Irish and Country music.
 
MM What would you like to share that I have not asked?
LW- Nothing much – just come and say hello sometime and ride the trains, there are a lot  of views to see. 
Picture
I suggest you do just that, please take some time out of your busy schedule and visit this magnificent place.
