* This update breaks inter-region communications, sorry. * You will need to run prebuild. Next, the good; * This update solves the unexpected binary element when Linux simulators inform windows simulators and vice versa. So Linux Simulators and Windows simulators are 100% compatible again. * This update introduces an Integer in the prim crossing method to tell the receiving simulator which XML method to use to load the prim that crossed the border. If the receiving prim doesn't support the method, the prim crossing fails and no prims are lost. That being said, it's best to update all your simulators to this revision at once.
Welcome to OpenSim! Version 0.5 == OVERVIEW == OpenSim is a BSD Licensed Open Source project to develop a functioning virtual worlds server platform capable of supporting multiple clients and servers in a heterogeneous grid structure. OpenSim is written in C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes. This is considered an alpha release. Some stuff works, a lot doesn't. If it breaks, you get to keep *both* pieces. == Installation on Windows == Prereqs: * Load OpenSim.sln into Visual Studio .NET and build the solution. * chdir bin * OpenSim.exe See configuring OpenSim == Installation on Linux == Prereqs: * Mono >= 1.2.3.1 * Nant >= 0.85 * sqlite3 From the distribution type: * nant * cd bin * mono ./OpenSim.exe See configuring OpenSim == Configuring OpenSim == When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a series of questions that look something like: [09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]: At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test"). YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like: Region# : You have successfully started OpenSim. == Connecting to your OpenSim == By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000. To use your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim). == More Information on OpenSim == More extensive information on building, running, and configuring OpenSim, as well as how to report bugs, and participate in the OpenSim project can always be found at http://opensimulator.org. Thanks for trying OpenSim, we hope it was a pleasant experience.
