Magi: /* What we need to compile OpenSim */

Just hoping someone updates the IRC channels soon.
I want to become a part of the development community soon.

Just a note, hoping someone can fix this problem. When I attempt to use the SVN Browser link, I get the following error:

== What we need to compile OpenSim ==

I seem to remember the old Wiki had a list of all the products required to compile OpenSim. For example, I believe Python needs to be installed as well as at least Visual Studio 2005 Express. Each had a link to where the download could be found.

I can't remember all the tools required, and I haven't been able to navigate Microsoft's web page to find the free download of Visual Studio 2005 Express.

It'd be great if this could be made available again.

Thanks,
Chrisc

Hi ChrisC: I recall the same list, however the info is probably very out of date - Last week I downloaded MS Visual Studio Express C# and the source code to a freshly built Win2003 Web Edition server. It compiled and ran fine with no Python or other tools required. - Magi (13-Oct-2007)

Magi: /* Introduction */

== Introduction ==
A key design principle of OpenSim is the heavy use of plug-ins. All the key components of OpenSim are designed to be replaceable or extensible at runtime.

* Database engines can be replaced (currently OpenSim has full support for)
** SQLite
** MySQL (almost complete)
** db4o is partially implemented
** MS-SQL Server is in a template stage.
* Backend servers can be replaced by changing a url, currently there are servers for:
** User authentication
** Grid registration
** Asset storage
** Script execution
* Script languages can be replaced
* ''Region modules can be added''

Region modules are .net/mono dlls. During initialization of the simulator, the current directory (/bin) and the scriptengines (/ScriptEngines) directory are scanned for dlls, in an attempt to load region modules stored there.

Region modules execute within the heart of the simulator. Typically region modules register for a number of events, e.g. chat messages, user logins, texture transfers, and take what ever steps are appropriate for the purposes of the module.

== Interface ==
All region modules must implement this interface:

public interface IRegionModule
{
void Initialise(Scene scene);
void PostInitialise();
void Close();
string Name { get; }
bool IsSharedModule { get; }
}

<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Initialize</td>
<td>This method is called immediately after the region module has been loaded by the sim. At this time the module is passed a reference to the scene contained within the sim. The region module should store this reference for later use. Care should be taken, not to depend on the scene and/or sim being fully loaded and running at this time.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PostInitialize</td>
<td>Once the sim is fully initialized and all region modules have been loaded, the sim will invoke PostInitialize on all loaded region modules. At this point the sim will be fully operational, and it should be safe to invoke any method on the scene.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Close</td>
<td>This method will be invoked when the sim is closing down.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>This is used to display a friendly name, in logs etc.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>IsSharedModule</td>
<td>'''''(needs to be doublechecked)'''''A sim server can house more than one region, this method should return true if the region module will operate on all regions</td>
</tr>
</table>

== How to write a new region module ==
=== Walk through on Windows ===
On Windows, using Visual studio, this is what you need to do, to create a new region module:

#Create a new project
##File, New, Project
##Select "Visual C#", "Class Library"
##Give the region module some good name, like: "MyRegionModule"
#Reference the required OpenSim assemblies
##Right click on "References" and choose "Add Reference..."
##Choose the browse tab
##Navigate to the bin folder of OpenSim
##Select "OpenSim.Framework.dll"
##Click Ok
##Right click once more on "References" and choose "Add Reference..."
##Select "OpenSim.Region.Environment.dll"
##Click Ok
#Change default class, to a meaningfull name
##Right click on "Class1.cs" and rename the file to "MyRegionModuleMain.cs

Now the code should look something like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace MyRegionModule
{
public class MyRegionModuleMain
{
}
}

delete the unwanted <tt>using</tt> lines:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

now, the program should contain:

using System;

namespace MyRegionModule
{
public class MyRegionModuleMain
{
}
}

add references to the main OpenSim modules:

using OpenSim.Region.Environment.Interfaces;
using OpenSim.Region.Environment.Scenes;

specify that <tt>MyRegionModuleMain</tt> should inherit from the <tt>IRegionModule</tt> interface:

using System;

namespace MyRegionModule
{
public class MyRegionModuleMain : IRegionModule
{
}
}

Right click on the "IRegionModule" name, and select "Implement interface", "Implement Interface"; this will add an empty implementation of the interface required for a region module. If you compile the module, and ensure that the resulting .dll file is stored in the /bin directory of OpenSim, the region module will be loaded and exected the next time you start the sim.

The close observer will have noticed that this region module will not do anything worthwhile; in fact it will cause OpenSim to log a warning about exceptions in a loaded module.

OpenSimulator:0.5 Release Target Discussion

2007-09-28T20:41:11Z

Magi: /* Planet Mode */

==Suggested Goals==

== Physics==

* Support for at least one physics engine with basic collision detection

* looks like hollow prims and some other simple shapes may be possible

* ODE is furthest along at this point. Issues include overall stability and lack of multithreading

* BulletX is being worked on

* New physics interface design? (event driven)

==New Backend Protocol (OGS 2)==

<br/>

== As part of the new protocol, overhaul the "commsmanager"==

*A lot of the functions currently in there, needs moving out. Like most of the Caps handling needs to be moved to the backend servers (possible with a dedicated Caps Manager server, like LL seem to have).

*Inventory handling should move to a module. As should Xfer uploads.

== Rewrite Asset Cache/Server==

<br/>

== Improve the management of client updates==

* Use a "interest list" for each connected client, so they only get updated about prims/objects that are in range (or they need to know about).

* Combine objects (parts) into single packets, rather than sending a separate packet for each prim as currently happens.

== Finish implementing the ll functions for scripting. ==

<br/>

== Improve UDP network code (ClientStack) ==

<br/>

== Clean up the IClientAPI interface ==

<br/>

== Start to think more about security ? (most likely will not happen until a later version)==

* Add security sinks in the "region to region" .Net remoting process.

* Check for security wholes in scripting engine.

== Tighter integration of DataStore into the core ==

<br/>
== Planet Mode ==
One on the shortcomings of the grid model is that it is a "Flat Earth" approach. By doing little more modifying OpenSim to (optionally) connect the northern edge of the topmost region to the southern edge of the bottom region and a similar mod for the east and western edges and we have effectively brought together any group of contiguous regions within a grid and created a planet. If you keep walking/flying long enough you would eventually (or very quickly - the more sims the larger the planet) arrive back at your point of origin.

Try this - take a map of your sim and apply it as a texture to a sphere - see what I mean?

The analogy can also be extended further, a sandalone sim becomes a Planetary System Server, a grid server becomes Star System Server and a new level could be added to link Grids - The Galaxy Server but I am thinking the info DNS provides may already have that covered.

I now invite the community to debate the concept further - are we a "Flat Earth" or a "Planetary System" with galactic potential?

Magi.

<br/>
== Parcel Media Settings ==
The multimedia functions in OpenSim create an awesome environment for presenting an enormous range of material. Whilst the parcel media settings can be set they do not persist between sessions.

I am considering forming a test team and have a couple of other users who want to get involved if anyone is interested let me know.<br><br>

Also interested in looking at doing some work to flesh out SimpleApp and maybe some new sample applications once scripting is functional.<br><br>

OpenSim: Grids

2007-08-31T14:47:17Z

Magi: /* Public Grids */

= Public Grids =

* OSGrid
** [http://www.osgrid.org/ osgrid.org]
* DeepGrid
** [http://www.deepgrid.com/ deepgrid.com]

* Standalone Sims

At the moment there are a number of standalone sims which we try to keep up 24x7, minus the upgrade times, etc. Remember - there are no guarantee at the moment on the backups of the inventories, landscape, etc. So, treat this as you would treat the beta grid at most.

To login to them, you will need to add the parameter "-loginuri" for your client as per below list. There are "generic" logins being from "Testa User" .. "Testz User", with password "test".

* CannonBall: "-loginuri http://67.120.11.68:9900/", run by Charles Krinke (ckrinke on IRC)

* Ruth(Zion): "-loginuri http://ruth.petitbe.be:9000/", run by Dalien Talbot (dalien on IRC, or via blog - http://daltonic.blogspot.com/)

* CyberSpacia: "-loginuri http://cyberspacia.net:9000/", run by Spun Pty Ltd(mailto:the.grid@cyberspacia.net)

OpenSim: Grids

2007-08-31T14:45:17Z

Magi: /* Public Grids */

Configuration

2007-08-21T09:25:35Z

Magi: /* Command Line arguments passed to OpenSim.exe */

It is recommended that you first get OpenSim running in standalone mode, before you attempt to connect it to a grid, either your own grid or a public grid.

A simulator actually consists of four services, known as UGAS which stand for User, Grid, Asset & Simulator. They are started in that order.

A simulator running in its default standalone mode has all the services self-contained, but they are very modest. This means any first/last/password works. It also means inventory is all local with no region or grid-wide connections.

A simulator running as a local grid runs all four services on the same computer. Multiple sims can be run, across-region crossing including teleporting and a set of inventory items that are within this local grid.

A simulator running as part of a public grid runs only OpenSim.exe and the other three services are running on a server common to many regions. This also means that understanding the needed UUID, X,Y location, server handshake passwords, master avatar first/last/password and a couple of other settings. These are not difficult, but do require a little care in setting up.

=Command Line arguments passed to OpenSim.exe=

OpenSim.exe responds to various command line arguments. These include "inifile", "-configfile", "-gridmode", "-physics", "-config" & "-noverbose" as of r1514.

When starting OpenSim in either Windows or Linux, one can add "-physics=OpenDynamicsEngine" to run the OpenDynamicsEngine instead of basicphysics.

Most users in standalone mode will not add any command line arguments. For local grid or public grid, the "-gridmode=true" is usually the only argument used. The rest are for more advanced configuration.

=Standalone mode=

When you start OpenSim in standalone mode, it will ask you several question at the console. The first set of prompts that start with "NETWORK SERVERS INFO", you can just hit return to accept the defaults if you will be running in standalone mode.

The prompts that start with "DEFAULT REGION CONFIG" are where you need to start paying attention. Some are self-explanatory. Here are explanations for the others:

* Grid Location. OpenSim regions can be placed anywhere on a 65536 by 65536 grid. In standalone mode, it is safe to leave these X and Y locations at their defaults.

* Filename for local storage. Safe to leave at default.

* Internal IP address; This should always be 0.0.0.0

* Internal IP port for incoming UDP client connection. You can make this any port you want, but it is safe to leave at the default 9000.

* External host name. If you will only be attaching to your sim from a SecondLife client on the same machine, you can leave this at the default 127.0.0.1. If you will be wanting to connect to it from a client on another machine, this should be the IP address or hostname of the machine you are running this sim on.

To connect to your new sim, start up secondlife with the following command line switches:

-loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000/

This assumes you are running the secondlife client on the same box. If you are running it on a separate box, substitute the IP address of your sim machine.

=Grid mode=

You want to run your own grid. Great! Assuming that you already got your sim running in standalone mode, here is what you need to do:

1. Current builds of OpenSim grid mode are using mysql to store the grid information. You must have this installed and configured if you want to run your own grid. See [[mysql-config]] for more information.

2. The servers should be started in a certain order. UGAS: UserServer, GridServer, AssetServer, Sim. These are all found in the bin directory. In windows, you can just double-click on the executables to start them. In linux, you will probably have to start them with mono. The executable names are:

OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe
OpenSim.Grid.GridServer.exe
OpenSim.Grid.AssetServer.exe
OpenSim.exe

3. Start the UserServer. If you will be running the GridServer on the same box, hit enter to accept the defaults, until it gives you the prompt

OpenUser#

This is the main prompt for the user server. If you will be running the GridServer on another box, change the Default Grid Server URI as appropriate.

4. Start the GridServer. Again, you can hit return at all the prompts if you are running them all on the same machine. If not, change the URIs for the Asset Server and User server to point to where you are running them. You will finally get to the console prompt for the GridServer which looks like this:

OpenGrid#

5. Start the AssetServer. This is not used at the current time, so you don't need to start it. The console prompt for this server will be:

OpenAsset#

6. If you are running all of these servers on the same box, which would be the normal configuration. You should be ready to start up your sim. Since the OpenSim.exe starts up by default in standalone mode, you will need to give it a command line switch to tell it to use gridmode instead:

OpenSim.exe -gridmode

or
mono OpenSim.exe -gridmode

NOTE: starting at version 0.3.1512, the syntax has changed to

-gridmode=true

With any luck, everything will come up without too many arrors.

7. Go to the UserServer console, and type 'create user' to create a new avatar. It will prompt you for the name and password, and the X and Y of the sim that should be his home location. Use 1000 and 1000, or wherever you told your sim to live when you brought it up in standalone mode.

At the console of any of these servers, you should be able to type 'help' to get a list of commands.

You should now be able to connect to your new grid with your secondlife client. You need to tell your client to point at the UserServer rather than direclty at the sim, though:

secondlife -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:8002/

8002 is the default port for the UserServer, and that IP address should be changed to the server you are running the UserServer on, if they are not all on the same box.

Happy OpenSimming!

=== Technical Addendum ===
For running multiple regions on the same box, you simply make multiple copies of the 'default.xml' file inside the /bin/regions/ directory. Name them anything you want (I name mine x.y.xml, where x znd y are the grid coords)

Open each xml file and edit the uuid (each must be unique, a generator is listed in this wiki, remove the dashes), region name, x & y positions, datastore (if you are using the prim thing) and internal ip port. EACH OF THESE MUST BE UNIQUE!

Once you have 2 or more xml files in the regions folder, you can run a SINGLE COPY of opensim.exe and it will boot all of your sims! If you come across any errors, there is, most likely, an error in the xml files.

=Attaching your sim to someone else's grid=

** [[OpenSim: SampleConfigs]] (Yin, Bao & Yang config files as samples)

In your bin directory, you will find a file called

network_servers_information.xml

This file has the configuration for telling your sim how to attach to a grid. You can edit this file with any text editor.

The grid owner should provide you with the following information to configure this file so that you can attach to their grid:

* GridServerURL

* GridSendKey

* GridRecvKey

* UserServerURL

* UserSendKey

* UserRecvKey

* AssetServerURL

The keys are used to make sure that you can both know that you are connecting to the correct box at the other end. This offers a level of security.

The other file you may have to change is in your bin/Regions directory. This is where your individual region config files are. If you only have one region, it will by default be called:

default.xml

This can be edited with any text editor. The grid owner may tell you what X and Y location you can place your sim at (you can't have multiple sims at the smae location on the grid). If so, the fields you will need to change in this file are sim_location_x, and sim_location_y.

A list of public grids that you can attach your sim to are at [[OpenSim:_Grids]]

Build Instructions

2007-08-17T02:28:09Z

Magi: /* Binary releases */

=Installing from source=

==MS Windows==

OpenSim requires either the .Net framework version 2.0, or the latest Mono. It also is compiled with the C# and not the C++ IDE for those who are using the no-cost Express Editions from MS.

=== Subversion Repository ===

1. Get the source code from the svn repository:

svn://openmv.org/opensim/trunk

=== Building ===

2. In the top-level directory, run the 'runprebuild.bat' file. This will create both a VS2005 solution file, and a nant build file.

3. Open the resulting sln file with visual studio, and build it there, or if you prefer to use nant, run nant in the same top-level directory. This will build the executables.

=== Running ===

Double-click on the OpenSim.exe executable file in the 'bin' directory. This will start up OpenSim in standalone mode.

The debugger in VS2005 C# may be used to step through the code. For those that use a Cygwin shell, you may find that one or more dll's have permissions that cause problems running. Most find that a "chmod 777 *" from the bin directory solves this.

==Linux==

=== Subversion Repository ===

To check out the latest revision:

svn co svn://opensecondlife.org/opensim/trunk opensim.new/trunk

Note: The libopenjpeg-libsl-...so is not really working. For this reason you should download the newest libsecondlife from http://www.libsecondlife.org, and build your own libopenjpeg library. If you use this instead of the SVN version, your sim will work fine.

=== Building (Mono) ===

cd opensim.new/trunk

mono bin/Prebuild.exe /target nant
nant -buildfile:OpenSim.build

mono bin/Prebuild.exe /target nant
nant -buildfile:OpenSim.build

(Yes, you must rerun the prebuild again after the first build, and then build again!)

=== Running (Mono) ===

cd bin
mono OpenSim.exe

=Binary releases=

Some recent pre-compiled releases are available at [http://www.lotusbell.com/opensim/ OpenSim binaries]. These are usually a few revs out-of-date.

'''NB: This Link is currently non-functional -''' ''does anyone know where the Binaries now live??''<hr>
