{{Quicklinks}}

== Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode ==
The setup for hypergrid differs depending on whether you run OpenSim as a standalone or as a grid. There also came considerable changes with version 0.7. If you are using an older version 0.6.x of OpenSimulator, then refer to [[#Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x]] further down this page.

== Configuration ==
In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000. For more information, see [[Network Settings]].

=== Standalone ===
The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"</source>

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in sections [LoginService] and [GatekeeperService] must be changed to your external network address:
<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:9000"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:9000"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:
<source lang="ini">[Network]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
http_listener_port = 9000
</source>

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See [[#Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone]].

=== Grid ===
To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured approprietly.

==== Robust Server ====
The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:8002"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:8002"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:8002"
</source>

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter ''''ServiceConnectors'''' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:
Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini
Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):
mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

==== Simulator ====
The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"
</source>

=== Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone ===
Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:
<source lang="ini">[Region One]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalHostName = "example.com"
</source>

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.

== Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x ==

=== Installing ===

Checkout OpenSim, prebuild and build as normal or Download and install Binary Packages from the [[Main Page|MAIN Page ]] If you're running your opensim in '''Grid Mode''' mode with servers on other machines, you only need to modify your OpenSim.ini to enable HyperGrid.

If you're running in standalone and you want it to be network-able, or if you have your grid on loopback (127.0.0.1) change all the [Network] server addresses to. See below.

=== EXAMPLE Network Sections ===

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Stand Alone: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Grided Server: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:8001"
grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:8002"
user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:8006"</source>

==== Network Settings for OSGrid Attched Servers: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000
grid_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8001" ;default 8003
grid_send_key = "1234"
grid_recv_key = "1234"

user_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8002"
user_send_key = "1234"
user_recv_key = "1234"

asset_server_url = "http://assets.osgrid.org:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8004" ;default 8003
messaging_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8006"</source>

==== Modifications needed to be applied to OpenSim.ini to enable Hypergrid ====

- Change the following line at the top of the OpenSim.ini
<pre>hypergrid = false to true</pre>
- NEXT, Add or Modify the ### WORLD MAP Section as shown

<source lang="ini">; ##
; ## WORLD MAP
; ##

WorldMapModule = "WorldMap"
MapImageModule = "MapImageModule"
WorldMapModule = "HGWorldMapModule" ;NOT INCLUDED IN DEFAULT OpenSim.ini.EXAMPLE</source>

''Information: HGWorldMapModule will, after teleporting to another grid, clean up tiles in your map left over from the grid on which you were previously.''

- NEXT, Modify the [Archictecture] Section at the bottom

Uncomment the appropriate Include-HG* = line by removing the semi colon and making sure that is the only ONE uncommented. (example shows for a Stand Alone HG enabled installation)

<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini" ; DEFAULT UNCOMMENTED
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"</source> 

Your OpenSimulator instance should now be ready for inbound & outbound Hypergrid use

== The 4096 Regions Limit ==
Due to a viewer issue, teleports to destinations that are more than 4096 regions away in any direction will not work as expected. Most viewers will do the teleport but the destination region will not be rendered and thus remain invisible to you. What this means in practice is that if you wish to teleport from a region located at cell coordinates (1000, 1000) you cannot go beyond (5095, 5095). To reach destinations that are placed at farer locations, you should either place your own region closer to the destination, or use some intermediate region that is reachable from both your region and the destination region.

Refer to [[Public Hypergrid Nodes]] to see some known grids and standalones and where they are located.

== Important Notes ==
Make sure you have a 'home' set. If your home region doesn't exist, the hyperlink TPs may not work. To set your home, go to one of your local regions and "Set Home" from the viewer.

To Enable scripted Teleporting between regions, standalone, HyperGrid etc, you can use osTeleportAgent function, Example here: [[OsTeleportAgent|OsTeleportAgent]]

== Linking regions (Optional) ==

=== Method 1 ===

On the console, type for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</pre>
Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent. Replace <nowiki>http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</nowiki> with the URL (i.e. protocol, domain name/ip address, and http_listener_port) of the simulator where the region is running you want to link to.
You can link to a specific region within an instance, by using the name of the region at the end, for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/ UCI Welcome</pre>
The above syntax is the preferred one for this console command starting with revision r/14611 (commit 72748746; this will be in release 0.7.1). The following syntax was used before and is still supported but deprecated in current (development) versions of OpenSimulator:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre> or <pre>link-region 997 997 osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006:UCI Welcome</pre>
Please note that this older syntax uses just the hostname without a protocol specification like <nowiki>http://</nowiki> and a colon instead of a space to append a region name.

=== Method 2 ===

There is also some initial support for reading the links from a xml file.

Use the console command: link-region <URI> [<excludeList>]

The uri can be either the path of a local xml file or a xml document on a http server.

The format of the xml file is:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
<Key Name="real-xloc" Value="10222"/> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
<Key Name="real-yloc" Value="10265" /> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini></source>

[Note] The section names can be anything you want, but they all should be different and have no spaces in the name.

==== ExcludeList: ====

The exclude list is a single string paramater with the format: excludeList:<SectionName>[;<SectionName>]

This means that while reading from the xml file any sections that are listed in the excludeList will be ignored and no HyperGrid link created for them.

This could allow, link lists to be created on a webserver that everyone could add their own regions to, and then they just make sure they add their own section name(s) to the exclude list on their own region(s).

So for example, someone might create a editable online list for the up coming OpenSimulator's 2nd birthday. Which might look something like:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="OSGrid-Party">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="UCIGrid-Party">
...
</Section>
</Nini></source> I could then add my own region to the list with the section name "MW-Party". Then when I startup that region that I want to be part of this hypergrid, I use the command:
<pre>"link-region <URI of xml file> excludeList:MW-Party"</pre>
This is so that my region doesn't try to create a hyper link to itself.

=== Method 3 (dynamic) ===

Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and probably more). All you need to know is the target address, e.g. from the list below.

1) Type for example secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ in the chat box, pull up the chat history and click on that link

2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007

3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007'''/ (there's one up at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)

Again, you can link to a specific region within an instance by adding the name of that region at the end, like this: '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007:Gateway 7000/'''

=== Checking the 4096 Regions Limit ===
Due to the [[#The 4096 Regions Limit|4096 Regions Limit]], there is a check in OpenSimulator since version 0.7.0.1 which verifies that the intended link will be within reach of any of your regions. If none of the regions in your grid or standalone is located within a distance radius of 4096 regions from the region to be linked, then the link will be rejected. You can disable this check in StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones) or Robust.HG.ini (for grids) with
<source lang="ini">[GridService]
Check4096 = false</source>

=== Persistent Linked Regions ===
With grid mode, methods 1 and 2 will work on both the Robust console and the region console. On the region console, linked regions will not be stored in the database and will vanish when the region is shut down. Regions that are linked on the Robust console will be persistent over restarts until they are explicitly removed with unlink-region.

== Listing linked regions ==

To see a list of all linked regions, use the following command on the console (available since 0.7.1 r/13457, also in 0.7-post-fixes):
<pre>show hyperlinks</pre>

== Unlinking regions ==

On the console, use the command:
<pre>unlink-region <local region name></pre>

As local region name you should use what command <tt>show hyperlinks</tt> shows for the region that you want to unlink, for example

<pre>unlink-region http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</pre>

With OpenSimulator revisions before r/14611 (i.e. before release 0.7.1), the syntax is a little different, for example
<pre>unlink-region osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>

Please note that region names can only have a maximum length of 32 characters when using MySQL as a database. If a linked region has a longer name, it will be truncated. The unlink-region command will only find a region, if the name is also truncated to a maximum length of 32 characters. This limit has been extended to 128 characters for the full local region name in OpenSimulator 0.7.1 (since r/14611).

{{Quicklinks}}

== Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode ==
The setup for hypergrid differs depending on whether you run OpenSim as a standalone or as a grid. There also came considerable changes with version 0.7. If you are using an older version 0.6.x of OpenSimulator, then refer to [[#Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x]] further down this page.

== Configuration ==
In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000. For more information, see [[Network Settings]].

=== Standalone ===
The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"</source>

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in sections [LoginService] and [GatekeeperService] must be changed to your external network address:
<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:9000"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:9000"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:
<source lang="ini">[Network]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
http_listener_port = 9000
</source>

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See [[#Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone]].

=== Grid ===
To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured approprietly.

==== Robust Server ====
The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:8002"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:8002"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:8002"
</source>

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter ''''ServiceConnectors'''' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:
Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini
Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):
mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

==== Simulator ====
The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"
</source>

=== Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone ===
Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:
<source lang="ini">[Region One]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalHostName = "example.com"
</source>

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.

== Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x ==

=== Installing ===

Checkout OpenSim, prebuild and build as normal or Download and install Binary Packages from the [[Main Page|MAIN Page ]] If you're running your opensim in '''Grid Mode''' mode with servers on other machines, you only need to modify your OpenSim.ini to enable HyperGrid.

== Important Notes ==
Make sure you have a 'home' set. If your home region doesn't exist, the hyperlink TPs may not work. To set your home, go to one of your local regions and "Set Home" from the viewer.

To Enable scripted Teleporting between regions, standalone, HyperGrid etc, you can use osTeleportAgent function, Example here: [[OsTeleportAgent|OsTeleportAgent]]

== Linking regions (Optional) ==

=== Method 1 ===

On the console, type for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</pre>
Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent. Replace <nowiki>http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</nowiki> with the URL (i.e. protocol, domain name/ip address, and http_listener_port) of the simulator where the region is running you want to link to.
You can link to a specific region within an instance, by using the name of the region at the end, for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/ UCI Welcome</pre>
The above syntax is the preferred one for this console command starting with revision r/14611 (commit 72748746; this will be in release 0.7.1). The following syntax was used before and is still supported but deprecated in current (development) versions of OpenSimulator:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre> or <pre>link-region 997 997 osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006:UCI Welcome</pre>
Please note that this older syntax uses just the hostname without a protocol specification like <nowiki>http://</nowiki> and a colon instead of a space to append a region name.

=== Method 2 ===

There is also some initial support for reading the links from a xml file.

Use the console command: link-region <URI> [<excludeList>]

The uri can be either the path of a local xml file or a xml document on a http server.

The format of the xml file is:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
<Key Name="real-xloc" Value="10222"/> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
<Key Name="real-yloc" Value="10265" /> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini></source>

[Note] The section names can be anything you want, but they all should be different and have no spaces in the name.

==== ExcludeList: ====

The exclude list is a single string paramater with the format: excludeList:<SectionName>[;<SectionName>]

This means that while reading from the xml file any sections that are listed in the excludeList will be ignored and no HyperGrid link created for them.

This could allow, link lists to be created on a webserver that everyone could add their own regions to, and then they just make sure they add their own section name(s) to the exclude list on their own region(s).

So for example, someone might create a editable online list for the up coming OpenSimulator's 2nd birthday. Which might look something like:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="OSGrid-Party">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="UCIGrid-Party">
...
</Section>
</Nini></source> I could then add my own region to the list with the section name "MW-Party". Then when I startup that region that I want to be part of this hypergrid, I use the command:
<pre>"link-region <URI of xml file> excludeList:MW-Party"</pre>
This is so that my region doesn't try to create a hyper link to itself.

=== Method 3 (dynamic) ===

Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and probably more). All you need to know is the target address, e.g. from the list below.

1) Type for example secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ in the chat box, pull up the chat history and click on that link

2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007

3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007'''/ (there's one up at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)

Again, you can link to a specific region within an instance by adding the name of that region at the end, like this: '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007:Gateway 7000/'''

=== Checking the 4096 Regions Limit ===
Due to the [[#The 4096 Regions Limit|4096 Regions Limit]], there is a check in OpenSimulator since version 0.7.0.1 which verifies that the intended link will be within reach of any of your regions. If none of the regions in your grid or standalone is located within a distance radius of 4096 regions from the region to be linked, then the link will be rejected. You can disable this check in StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones) or Robust.HG.ini (for grids) with
<source lang="ini">[GridService]
Check4096 = false</source>

=== Persistent Linked Regions ===
With grid mode, methods 1 and 2 will work on both the Robust console and the region console. On the region console, linked regions will not be stored in the database and will vanish when the region is shut down. Regions that are linked on the Robust console will be persistent over restarts until they are explicitly removed with unlink-region.

== Listing linked regions ==

To see a list of all linked regions, use the following command on the console (available since 0.7.1 r/13457, also in 0.7-post-fixes):
<pre>show hyperlinks</pre>

== Unlinking regions ==

On the console, use the command:
<pre>unlink-region <local region name></pre>

As local region name you should use what command <tt>show hyperlinks</tt> shows for the region that you want to unlink, for example

<pre>unlink-region http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</pre>

With OpenSimulator revisions before r/14611 (i.e. before release 0.7.1), the syntax is a little different, for example
<pre>unlink-region osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>

Please note that region names can only have a maximum length of 32 characters when using MySQL as a database. If a linked region has a longer name, it will be truncated. The unlink-region command will only find a region, if the name is also truncated to a maximum length of 32 characters.

Installing and Running Hypergrid

2011-02-18T08:49:08Z

Marck: /* Method 1 */ New syntax, old one still supported but deprecated

{{Quicklinks}}

== Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode ==
The setup for hypergrid differs depending on whether you run OpenSim as a standalone or as a grid. There also came considerable changes with version 0.7. If you are using an older version 0.6.x of OpenSimulator, then refer to [[#Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x]] further down this page.

== Configuration ==
In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000. For more information, see [[Network Settings]].

=== Standalone ===
The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"</source>

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in sections [LoginService] and [GatekeeperService] must be changed to your external network address:
<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:9000"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:9000"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:
<source lang="ini">[Network]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
http_listener_port = 9000
</source>

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See [[#Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone]].

=== Grid ===
To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured approprietly.

==== Robust Server ====
The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:8002"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:8002"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:8002"
</source>

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter ''''ServiceConnectors'''' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:
Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini
Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):
mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

==== Simulator ====
The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"
</source>

=== Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone ===
Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:
<source lang="ini">[Region One]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalHostName = "example.com"
</source>

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.

== Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x ==

=== Installing ===

Checkout OpenSim, prebuild and build as normal or Download and install Binary Packages from the [[Main Page|MAIN Page ]] If you're running your opensim in '''Grid Mode''' mode with servers on other machines, you only need to modify your OpenSim.ini to enable HyperGrid.

If you're running in standalone and you want it to be network-able, or if you have your grid on loopback (127.0.0.1) change all the [Network] server addresses to. See below.

=== EXAMPLE Network Sections ===

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Stand Alone: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Grided Server: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:8001"
grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:8002"
user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:8006"</source>

==== Network Settings for OSGrid Attched Servers: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000
grid_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8001" ;default 8003
grid_send_key = "1234"
grid_recv_key = "1234"

user_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8002"
user_send_key = "1234"
user_recv_key = "1234"

asset_server_url = "http://assets.osgrid.org:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8004" ;default 8003
messaging_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8006"</source>

==== Modifications needed to be applied to OpenSim.ini to enable Hypergrid ====

- Change the following line at the top of the OpenSim.ini
<pre>hypergrid = false to true</pre>
- NEXT, Add or Modify the ### WORLD MAP Section as shown

<source lang="ini">; ##
; ## WORLD MAP
; ##

WorldMapModule = "WorldMap"
MapImageModule = "MapImageModule"
WorldMapModule = "HGWorldMapModule" ;NOT INCLUDED IN DEFAULT OpenSim.ini.EXAMPLE</source>

''Information: HGWorldMapModule will, after teleporting to another grid, clean up tiles in your map left over from the grid on which you were previously.''

- NEXT, Modify the [Archictecture] Section at the bottom

Uncomment the appropriate Include-HG* = line by removing the semi colon and making sure that is the only ONE uncommented. (example shows for a Stand Alone HG enabled installation)

<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini" ; DEFAULT UNCOMMENTED
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"</source> 

Your OpenSimulator instance should now be ready for inbound & outbound Hypergrid use

== The 4096 Regions Limit ==
Due to a viewer issue, teleports to destinations that are more than 4096 regions away in any direction will not work as expected. Most viewers will do the teleport but the destination region will not be rendered and thus remain invisible to you. What this means in practice is that if you wish to teleport from a region located at cell coordinates (1000, 1000) you cannot go beyond (5095, 5095). To reach destinations that are placed at farer locations, you should either place your own region closer to the destination, or use some intermediate region that is reachable from both your region and the destination region.

Refer to [[Public Hypergrid Nodes]] to see some known grids and standalones and where they are located.

== Important Notes ==
Make sure you have a 'home' set. If your home region doesn't exist, the hyperlink TPs may not work. To set your home, go to one of your local regions and "Set Home" from the viewer.

To Enable scripted Teleporting between regions, standalone, HyperGrid etc, you can use osTeleportAgent function, Example here: [[OsTeleportAgent|OsTeleportAgent]]

== Linking regions (Optional) ==

=== Method 1 ===

On the console, type for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</pre>
Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent. Replace <nowiki>http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/</nowiki> with the URL (i.e. protocol, domain name/ip address, and http_listener_port) of the simulator where the region is running you want to link to.
You can link to a specific region within an instance, by using the name of the region at the end, for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> http://osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006/ UCI Welcome</pre>
The above syntax is the preferred one for this console command starting with revision r/14611 (commit 72748746; this will be in release 0.7.1). The following syntax was used before and is still supported but deprecated in current (development) versions of OpenSimulator:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre> or <pre>link-region 997 997 osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006:UCI Welcome</pre>
Please note that this older syntax uses just the hostname without a protocol specification like <nowiki>http://</nowiki> and a colon instead of a space to append a region name.

=== Method 2 ===

There is also some initial support for reading the links from a xml file.

Use the console command: link-region <URI> [<excludeList>]

The uri can be either the path of a local xml file or a xml document on a http server.

The format of the xml file is:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
<Key Name="real-xloc" Value="10222"/> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
<Key Name="real-yloc" Value="10265" /> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini></source>

[Note] The section names can be anything you want, but they all should be different and have no spaces in the name.

==== ExcludeList: ====

The exclude list is a single string paramater with the format: excludeList:<SectionName>[;<SectionName>]

This means that while reading from the xml file any sections that are listed in the excludeList will be ignored and no HyperGrid link created for them.

This could allow, link lists to be created on a webserver that everyone could add their own regions to, and then they just make sure they add their own section name(s) to the exclude list on their own region(s).

So for example, someone might create a editable online list for the up coming OpenSimulator's 2nd birthday. Which might look something like:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="OSGrid-Party">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="UCIGrid-Party">
...
</Section>
</Nini></source> I could then add my own region to the list with the section name "MW-Party". Then when I startup that region that I want to be part of this hypergrid, I use the command:
<pre>"link-region <URI of xml file> excludeList:MW-Party"</pre>
This is so that my region doesn't try to create a hyper link to itself.

=== Method 3 (dynamic) ===

Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and probably more). All you need to know is the target address, e.g. from the list below.

1) Type for example secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ in the chat box, pull up the chat history and click on that link

2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007

3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007'''/ (there's one up at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)

Again, you can link to a specific region within an instance by adding the name of that region at the end, like this: '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007:Gateway 7000/'''

=== Checking the 4096 Regions Limit ===
Due to the [[#The 4096 Regions Limit|4096 Regions Limit]], there is a check in OpenSimulator since version 0.7.0.1 which verifies that the intended link will be within reach of any of your regions. If none of the regions in your grid or standalone is located within a distance radius of 4096 regions from the region to be linked, then the link will be rejected. You can disable this check in StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones) or Robust.HG.ini (for grids) with
<source lang="ini">[GridService]
Check4096 = false</source>

=== Persistent Linked Regions ===
With grid mode, methods 1 and 2 will work on both the Robust console and the region console. On the region console, linked regions will not be stored in the database and will vanish when the region is shut down. Regions that are linked on the Robust console will be persistent over restarts until they are explicitly removed with unlink-region.

== Listing linked regions ==

To see a list of all linked regions, use the following command on the console (available since 0.7.1 r/13457, also in 0.7-post-fixes):
<pre>show hyperlinks</pre>

== Unlinking regions ==

On the console, type for example:
<pre>unlink-region osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
or
<pre>unlink-region <local region name></pre>

Please note that region names can only have a maximum length of 32 characters when using MySQL as a database. If a linked region has a longer name, it will be truncated. The unlink-region command will only find a region, if the name is also truncated to a maximum length of 32 characters.

LSL: '''[[string]] osSetPenColour( [[string]] drawList, string colour )''' 
C#: '''[[string]] osSetPenColour( [[string]] drawList, string colour )'''

Appends a [[Drawing_commands#PenColour|PenColour]] drawing command to the string provided in '''drawList''' and returns the result.

This sets the pen's drawing color to either the specified [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa358802.aspx named .NET color] or to a 32-bit color value (formatted as eight hexadecimal digits in the format aarrggbb, representing the eight-bit alpha, red, green and blue channels).

For full opacity, use an alpha value of ff (e.g. <tt>ffff0000</tt> for red); for varying degrees of transparency, reduce the alpha value (e.g. <tt>800000ff</tt> for half-transparent blue).

GridInfo

2010-12-02T08:21:16Z

Marck: Undo revision 20332 by Trevor75 (Talk) Removed spam

__NOTOC__ {{Template:Quicklinks}} 

The '''GridInfo protocol''' was suggested by [http://mjm.game-host.org/opensim:viewer:contents mana janus] to facilitate autoconfiguration of clients. With the GridInfo protocol a smart client only needs to have the URI of the user server or the standalone server and can then obtain parameters such as the welcome page, the helper URI (for the economy subsystem), the name of the grid and other information automatically.

Retrieving the GridInfo is just a simple HTTP GET call to /get_grid_info on either the standalone server's URL or on the grid's user server:
<pre>% GET http://127.0.0.1:9000/get_grid_info | xml_pp
<gridinfo>
<login>http://127.0.0.1:9000/</login>
<gridname>the lost continent of hippo</gridname>
<mode>standalone</mode>
<register>http://127.0.0.1/register</register>
<platform>OpenSim</platform>
<help>http://127.0.0.1/help</help>
<about>http://127.0.0.1/about/</about>
<welcome>http://127.0.0.1/welcome</welcome>
<gridnick>hippogrid</gridnick>
<password>http://127.0.0.1/password</password>
<economy>http://127.0.0.1:9000/</economy>
</gridinfo>
</pre>
which was "generated" by the following [GridInfo] section:
<pre>[GridInfo]
; login uri
login = http://127.0.0.1:9000/
; login page
welcome = http://127.0.0.1/welcome
; helper uri
economy = http://127.0.0.1:9000/
; web page of grid
about = http://127.0.0.1/about/
; account creation
register = http://127.0.0.1/register
; help
help = http://127.0.0.1/help
; password help
password = http://127.0.0.1/password
; long grid name
gridname = "the lost continent of hippo"
; short grid name
gridnick = "hippogrid"
</pre>
Have a look at the option table in the [[OpenSim.ini]] section for all GridInfo options --- note, that you can add additional keys there, they are automatically included in the response.

NOTE: The configuration location of GridInfo has changed. 

*In versions 0.6.9 and below, it is found in OpenSim.ini
*In version 0.7.0, GridInfo is missing.  Please update to 0.7.0.1 or newer
*In version 0.7.0.1 and newer, it is located in StandaloneCommon.ini. For HyperGrids, it is located in Robust.ini

==What is the Grid List?==

There are hundreds (thousands?) of OpenSimulator-based virtual worlds out there. Many of them are free to use and welcome new users. This grid list is a community-generated list of such worlds. If you would like to experience an OpenSimulator-based virtual world before installing your own, try one of these.

'''IMPORTANT NOTE:''' The OpenSimulator project is not responsible for, nor in any way associated with, any grid listed on this page, nor for any grid's content or activities. Visit at your own risk. Also, there are no guarantees that these worlds are up and running.

== Public grids ==

'''Grid List Policy:''' Please list your grid only if is based on OpenSimulator.org software code. Do not include advertising language. The entries in the main list should just contain the gridname and the plain numbers as defined by the column headers. Please use [[Grid Lst/Template|this]] template for the subpages to keep the information in a comparable manner. Grids are listed in the order of appearance, so please add your entry to the bottom of the list. Anyone found inserting a grid up higher in the list will have their entry removed.

As means of acknowledgment, you may want provide a link on your world's website back to the project by using the [[OpenSim Graphics|Powered by OpenSimulator]] logo. Credit is appreciated but not required.

RestConsole

Marck: /* Syntax */

==About==
The REST console makes remote administration of the various OpenSim services possible.

The interface allows sending commands to the server and retrieving command output. Sending and receiving data is done through RESTful HTTP calls.

While sending is very straightforward, receiving is not. Receiving uses reverse HTTP, performing a long poll to a CAPS URI.

In order to make the protocol more efficient, the help functionality has been pushed to the client side. Rather than sending each keystroke to the server, only validated command lines are sent. To make this possible, the server sends a "connect burst" of data, which is the tree of allowed commands and their help information. This can be used by the client to create the "help" command output locally as well as provide command line help interactively.

The sample console client, OpenSim.ConsoleClient.exe, shows how this is done.

==Usage==
In order to use the remote console, start up OpenSimulator services with parameter <tt>-console rest</tt>.

Example for Robust server in grid mode:
mono Robust.exe -console rest

Example for simulators (both in grid and standalone mode):
mono OpenSim.exe -console rest

==Syntax==
We take the OpenSimulator services address <nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002</nowiki> as example here.

First start a new session by sending a HTTP POST request. User name and password should match the settings for <tt>ConsoleUser</tt> and <tt>ConsolePass</tt> in section <tt>[Network]</tt> of OpenSim.ini. 
Parameters: USER, PASS
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/StartSession/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><SessionID></SessionID><Prompt></Prompt></ConsoleSession>

Now we got the SessionID, which can be used to send a command and to receive output. First, retrieve the console scrollback buffer. 
Parameters: none
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/ReadResponses/<SessionID>/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><Line Number=x></Line></ConsoleSession> 
The reply contains all lines currently in the buffer. Subsequent fetches will only retrieve new lines. The fetch will hold for up to 30 seconds if there is no data, then return an error. The client is expected to try again (polling).

Use the SessionID as ID parameter, and send a POST request again. 
Parameters: ID, COMMAND
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/SessionCommand/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><Result></Result></ConsoleSession> 
If everything went well, the command should have been executed. Try another command.

When you want to close down the connection, send a POST request again. 
Parameters: ID
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/CloseSession/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><Result></Result></ConsoleSession> 
The session is closed, and you have to log in again, when you want to send a command again.

| Interested in seeing running on PowerPC Macs which it is. So, when I can, I'll compile and test on PowerPC Mac (PowerBook G4) and submit reports and then update the wiki if need on installing on Mac. Also have a Ubuntu 7.10 server that I can do testing on too.

Talk:Wifi

2010-11-22T20:33:10Z

Marck:

I wonder if this page shouldn't be split into multiple pages. Something like:
* New Standalone, not Grid connected
* New Standalones, Grid connected
* Existing Standalones, not Grid connected
* Existing Standalones, Grid connected
* New Installs, Hypergrid
* Existing installs, Hypergrid
* New Grid-Connected Installs, Non-Hypergrid
* Existing Grid-Connected installs, Non-Hypergrid

etc...
Each split into two sections, covering MySQL and SQLite where applicable

This idea was inspired by my attempts to add Wifi to my standalone, but Hypergridded server, with SQLite as the DB, which i couldn't get to work...

--[[User:Fritigern|Fritigern]] 06:15, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

:With regard to the installation of Wifi, there isn't really a difference between new or existing installs, (hypergrid) connected or not.

:The main issue might be that the latest release of Wifi (both binary and source code) doesn't work with current Git master of OpenSim out of the box. Basically, the released Wifi binary only works with the OpenSim release that the diva distribution is based on (i.e. 0.7.0.2, or 0.7-post-fixes at the time of this writing). If you want to use Wifi with newest OpenSim 0.7.1 Dev, then you must adjust the Wifi source code and build your own binaries.

OsSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace

2010-11-17T22:56:36Z

Marck: Documentation and example

'''Threat Level:''' VeryLow

'''Syntax:'''

LSL: '''[[string]] osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace([[string]] dynamicID, [[string]] contentType, [[string]] data, [[string]] extraParams, [[integer]] blend, [[integer]] disp, [[integer]] timer, [[integer]] alpha, [[integer]] face)''' 
C#: '''[[string]] osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace([[string]] dynamicID, [[string]] contentType, [[string]] data, [[string]] extraParams, [[bool]] blend, [[int]] disp, [[int]] timer, [[int]] alpha, [[int]] face)'''

'''Returns:'''

UUID of the generated texture. Intended to be used with subsequent calls to osSetDynamicTextureXXXX functions in order to modify the texture. NOT IMPLEMENTED YET; the current implementation always returns a string with NULL_KEY.

===Description===
Renders a dynamically created texture on the face of a prim containing the script, possibly blending it with the texture that is already set for the face.

===Parameters===

{| border="1"
|'''Name'''
|'''Description'''
|'''Remarks'''
|-
|'''dynamicID'''
|UUID of already existing dynamic texture. Intended to accept UUID from a previous call to osSetDynamicTextureXXXX functions in order to provide modification of an existing dynasmic texture
| NOT IMPLEMENTED YET
|-
|'''contentType'''
|specifies the type of the '''data''' parameter.
The following values are allowed:
*vector - the '''data''' parameter contains a list of drawing instructions. See [[Drawing commands]] for details
|
|-
|'''data'''
|Contains a series of drawing instructions. See [[Drawing commands]] for details
|
|-
|'''extraParams'''
|additional optional parameters in the following format: [param]:[value],[param]:[value]
Multiple parameters are separated by commas. The following ones are supported:
*width - width of the dynamic texture in pixels (example: width:256)
*height - height of the dynamic texture in pixels (example: height:256)
*alpha - alpha (transparency) component of the dynamic texture. Values are from 0-clear to 255-solid, and ''false'' to turn off the alpha layer completely (example: alpha:255)
*bgcolour - specifies the background color of the texture (example: bgcolour:Red)
*altdatadelim - specifies a delimiter between the draw commands contained in the '''data''' parameter.
*setalpha
*integer value - any integer value is treated like specifing aplha component
|
|-
|'''blend'''
|If ''true'', the newly generated texture is blended with the appropriate existing ones on the prim.
|
|-
|'''disp'''
|Display flags. Value 1-expire deletes the old texture if it is replaced by a newer generated texture (may not currently be implemented). Value 2-temp flags the asset as temporary, which often means that it is not persisted to the database.
|
|-
|'''timer'''
|specify a time interval to update the texture
|NOT IMPLEMENTED YET
|-
|'''alpha'''
|The alpha value of the generated texture.
|
|-
|'''face'''
|The face of the prim on which to put the generated texture. If ALL_SIDES then all sides of the prim are set.
|
|}

===Notes===

The '''dynamicID''' parameter is not implemented. The value passed will be ignored.

The '''timer''' parameter is not implemented. The value passed will be ignored. Instead, you can use a timer event and recall the function to get the same effect.

===Example===
<source lang="lsl">// Example of osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace used to put a number on each face of a prim
string FontName = "Arial";
integer FontSize = 128;

NumberEachFace() {
integer face = llGetNumberOfSides();
while (face--) {
string text = (string)face;
vector size = osGetDrawStringSize("vector", text, FontName, FontSize);
integer xpos = (256 - (integer)size.x) >> 1;
integer ypos = (256 - (integer)size.y) >> 1;

string commandList = "";
commandList = osMovePen(commandList, xpos, ypos);
commandList = osSetFontName(commandList, FontName);
commandList = osSetFontSize(commandList, FontSize);
commandList = osDrawText(commandList, text);

osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace("", "vector", commandList, "width:256,height:256",
FALSE, 2, 0, 255, face);
}
}

default {
state_entry() {
NumberEachFace();
}
changed(integer change) {
if (change & CHANGED_SHAPE)
NumberEachFace();
}
}</source>

Drawing commands

2010-11-17T21:45:36Z

Marck: Restoring the parts that were deleted by an older edit

{{Template:Quicklinks}}

[[Technical Reference | Technical Reference]] -> [[Technical Reference/terms | Terms]] -> [[Status | Status Page]] -> [[OSSL_Implemented| OSSL Implemented Functions]] -> [[Dynamic textures]] -> [[Drawing commands]]

The drawing commands are strings of text which are concatenated to create a larger string of graphical instructions, which is then passed as a parameter to the [[Dynamic textures|dynamic texture]] drawing functions. With two exceptions, there are convenience functions, such as [[osDrawRectangle]](), provided to assist in building the command list. It is slightly more efficient to directly manipulate the string containing the drawing commands, as it avoids the overhead of multiple function calls (albeit with an arguable loss of readability).

In general, the drawing commands consist of a case-sensitive token which identifies the command, followed by one or more comma-delimited parameters, and terminating in a separator character (a semicolon by default). Whitespace surrounding the commas and/or separator is permitted.

In the examples which follow, it is assumed that ''CommandList'' is a string variable which has already been defined within the script source code.

==Graphics Primitive Drawing Commands==

===Ellipse===

;Ellipse float width, float height;
:Draws an ellipse with the current pen size and color.

:The ellipse is drawn with the specified width and height (in pixels), centered on a point which is (width/2) pixels to the right of the pen's current X position, and (height/2) pixels below the pen's current Y position. After the ellipse is drawn, the width and height values are added to the pen's X and Y position, respectively.

:Although the parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "Ellipse 100,100;";
</source>

===Polygon===
;Polygon string xpoints, string ypoints;
:Draws an unfilled polygon, using current pen size and color.

:The polygon is drawn following a sequence of x and y points given to the method (in the order that they are given), finally closing in the first one. Although the parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "Polygon 50,50,100,100,50,150,50;"; // This creates a triangle using points (50,50)(100,100)(150,50)
</source>

===FillPolygon===
;FillPolygon string xpoints, string ypoints;
:Draws a filled polygon, using current pen size and color.

:The polygon is drawn following a sequence of x and y points (in pixels) given to the method (in the order that they are given), finally closing in the first. Although the parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "FillPolygon 50,50,100,100,50,150,50;"; // This creates a triangle using points (50,50)(100,100)(150,50)
</source>

===Rectangle===

;Rectangle float width, float height;
:Draws an unfilled rectangle, using the current pen size and color.

:The rectangle is drawn at the specified width and height (in pixels), with the upper left corner of the rectangle placed at the pen's current position. After the rectangle is drawn, the width and height values are added to the pen's X and Y position, respectively.

:Although the parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "Rectangle 150,75;";
</source>

===FillRectangle===

;FillRectangle float width, float height;
:Draws a rectangle, bordered and filled with the current pen size and color.

:The rectangle is drawn at the specified width and height (in pixels), with the upper left corner of the rectangle placed at the pen's current position. After the rectangle is drawn, the width and height values are added to the pen's X and Y position, respectively.

:Although the parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "FillRectangle 150,75;";
</source>

===Image===

;Image float height, float width, string URL;
:Retrieves an image specified by the URL parameter and draws it at the specified height and width, with the upper left corner of the image placed at the pen's current position. After the image is drawn, the width and height values are added to the pen's X and Y position, respectively.

:If the URL points to an invalid location, an image type not supported by libgdi, or a non-image MIME type, nothing is drawn. If either or both of the '''width''' or '''height''' parameters are zero or negative, nothing is drawn, but the image is still retrieved.

:Although the '''width''' and '''height''' parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "Image 293,62,<nowiki>http://opensimulator.org/skins/osmonobook/images/headerLogo.png</nowiki>;";
</source>

===LineTo===

;LineTo float x, float y;
:Draws a line from the pen's current location to the specified coordinates, using the pen's current color and width.

:After the line is drawn, the specified coordinates become the pen's new current location.

:Although the parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "LineTo 640,480;";
</source>

===MoveTo===

;MoveTo float x, float y;
:Updates the pen's current position to the coordinates provided in the parameters. Nothing is drawn.

:Although the parameters accept floating-point values, anything after a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "MoveTo 570,23;";
</source>

===PenColour===

;PenColour string NewColor;
:Sets the pen's drawing color to either the specified [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa358802.aspx named .NET color] or to a 32-bit color value (formatted as eight hexadecimal digits in the format aarrggbb, representing the eight-bit alpha, red, green and blue channels).

:For full opacity, use an alpha value of ff (e.g. <tt>ffff0000</tt> for red); for varying degrees of transparency, reduce the alpha value (e.g. <tt>800000ff</tt> for half-transparent blue).

:The color names and hexadecimal color representations are not case-sensitive.

Example:
<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "PenColour MidnightBlue;";
CommandList += "PenColour ff191970;";
</source>

===PenSize===

;PenSize float width;
:Sets the pen size to a square of '''width''' pixels by '''width''' pixels. If '''width''' is an odd number, the pen will be exactly centered on the coordinates provided in the various drawing commands; if it is an even number, it will be centered slightly higher and to the left of the actual coordinates.

:Although the parameter accepts a floating-point value, anything following a decimal point will be ignored.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "PenSize 5;";
</source>

===PenCap===

;PenCap string direction, string type;
:ATTENTION: THIS METHOD WORKS ONLY ON .NET, MONO DOES NOT HAVE CAPS CORRECTLY IMPLEMENTED ON LIBGDI+
:Sets the pens cap start, end or both to a cap style.

:Possible values for direction are (case-insensitive): "start", "end", "both"

:Possible values for type are (case-insensitive): "arrow","diamond","round","flat"(default)

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "PenCap start,arrow;"; //Draws an arrow at the end of the next line drawn (with LineTo)
</source>

==Text Drawing Commands==

===FontName===

;FontName string fontname;
:Sets the font used by the '''[[#Text|Text]]''' command. If the specified font is not installed on the system, the default font (Arial or its local equivalent) is used.

:There is no equivalent convenience function; if you wish to change the font used by the '''[[#Text|Text]]''' command, you must manipulate the string directly.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "FontName Times New Roman;";
</source>

===FontProp===

;FontProp string properties;
:Sets the text display properties (Regular, Boldface, Underline, Italic and Strikeout) used by subsequent '''[[#Text|Text]]''' calls. The properties are represented by single letters (R,B,U,I and S, respectively), separated by commas. 'R' is a special case which turns off all other properties, while the others are additive.

:There is no equivalent convenience function; if you wish to change the properties of the font used by the '''[[#Text|Text]]''' command, you must manipulate the string directly.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "FontProp B,I;";
</source>

===FontSize===

;FontSize float size;
:Sets the font size used by subsequent '''[[#Text|Text]]''' commands. The '''size''' parameter represents the font height in points.

:Please note that the font height is given in ''points'', not in ''pixels''. The resulting size of the font in pixels may vary depending on the system settings, specifically the display system's "dots per inch" metric. A system set to 96dpi will produce differently sized text than a system set to 120dpi. If precise text size is required, consider using the [[osGetDrawStringSize]]() function to help calculate the proper FontSize value to use (but bear in mind that [[osGetDrawStringSize]]() takes an integer parameter for the size, whereas FontSize does use floating-point values).

:Unlike the other drawing commands, anything following a decimal point in the '''size''' parameter is significant.

:If a negative FontSize parameter is specified, any text subsequently added will be displayed upside down and to the right of the point of origin.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "FontSize 12;";
</source>

===Text===

;Text string text;
:Draws the specified string of text with the current pen color, using the currently defined [[#FontName|font]], [[#FontSize|size]] and [[#FontProp|properties]] (which default to regular 14-point Arial).

:The text will be drawn with the upper left corner of the first glyph at the pen's current position (however, note that glyphs within the font may be defined to extend to the left of their origin point).

:If you need to include a semicolon in the text to be displayed, you will have to change the command delimiter in the <tt>extraParams</tt> parameter to the osSetDynamicTexture* functions. However, this will require that ''all'' commands be terminated with the alternate delimiter, and you cannot use the convenience functions (which are hardcoded to use a semicolon).

:The text may or may not be antialiased, depending on the system settings of the machine upon which the simulator is running. Furthermore, if the system is configured to use LCD subpixel antialiasing (e.g. ClearType), the text may have colored fringes on the smoothed pixels, which may result in a less than optimum image.

:Please note that the pen position is ''not'' updated after this call.

Example:
:<source lang="lsl">
CommandList += "Text Nobody here but us hippos!;";
</source>

0.7.1 Planning

2010-11-17T19:01:56Z

Marck: /* MUST FIX bugs */ Issues with changed events in LSL

Release 0.7.1 will be the first one supporting Viewer 2's new features -- media on a prim, meshes, and multiple attachments per attach point.

== MUST DO features & refactorings ==

*Use ServerURI consistently when naming+accessing simulator services and HG
*Preserve creator information on archives and HG object transfers

== MUST FIX bugs ==

*Appearance is broken
*Warp3D throws an error as at r/14307 (documented in a comment on [http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5130 Mantis 5130])
*osTeleportAgent bugs ([http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5135 Mantis 5135] and [http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5136 Mantis 5136])
*Resolve the issues with changed events in LSL ([http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5146 Mantis 5146] and its children). At least those change events should be fixed that already worked in OpenSim release 0.6.9, i.e. CHANGED_OWNER, CHANGED_TELEPORT, CHANGED_REGION, and CHANGED_REGION_RESTART.

== MUST DO documentation ==

* Explain split into OpenSimDefaults.ini.
* Fix Groups setup inline documentation in OpenSim.ini.example

== Optional ==

* For viewer 2, there is no default avatar so appearance is always smoke until the user creates the 4 basic body parts (and pants/shirt as well if they don't want to be naked). I was regarding this as a must-fix but now I'm not so sure - [[User:Justincc|Justincc]] 03:46, 2 November 2010 (UTC) Comments: +1 on this for ease of use by new and inexperienced users - [[User:aiaustin|aiaustin]]

== Optional Module Checks ==

Establish Diva Wifi works with 0.7.1 release (top level URL not functioning at present)

== Plan ==

*Address MUST DO features and MUST FIX bugs prior to branching 0.7.1.
*Start documenting after branching
*Fix critical bugs that show up after branching
*Try to address Optional items where feasible during RC process
*Test Optional Modules as far as possible during RC process

OsTeleportAgent

2010-11-17T08:51:26Z

Marck: Added some headlines

'''Syntax:'''

'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, string destinationTarget, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, integer regionX, integer regionY, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, vector position, vector lookAt)'''

'''Returns:'''

Nothing

'''Threat level:'''

High

'''Description:'''

Teleports an agent to the specified location. The first variant is able to teleport to any addressable region, including [[hypergrid]] destinations. The second variant teleports to a region in the local grid; the region coordinates are specified as region cells (not as global coordinates based on meters). The third variant teleports within the current region.

These functions have a [[threat level]] of ''High'' and must be allowed in OpenSim.ini for operation (see [[OSSL Enabling Functions]] for examples). Also see [[osTeleportOwner]].

'''Example:'''
<source lang="lsl">// Example osTeleportAgent Script
//
// Set Destination as described below, There are a Few Options depending on Application:

// Destination = "RegionName"; = Using RegionName
// HyperGrid Teleport (region must be HG Enabled)
// Destination = "TcpIpAddr:Port:RegionName"; = Using the Target/Destination IP Address
// Destination = "DNSname:Port:RegionName"; = Using the Target/Detination DNSname
// Note: RegionName is Optionally Specified to deliver Avatar to specific region in an instance.
//
// ========================================================================================
// === SET DESTINATION INFO HERE ===

OsTeleportOwner

2010-11-17T08:49:41Z

Marck: Added some headlines

'''Syntax:'''

'''osTeleportOwner(string destinationTarget, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportOwner(integer regionX, integer regionY, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportOwner(vector position, vector lookAt)'''

'''Returns:'''

Nothing

'''Threat level:'''

None

'''Description:'''

Teleports the owner of the object containing the script to the specified location. The first variant is able to teleport to any addressable region, including [[hypergrid]] destinations. The second variant teleports to a region in the local grid; the region coordinates are specified as region cells (not as global coordinates based on meters). The third variant teleports within the current region.

These functions have a [[threat level]] of ''None''. Also see [[osTeleportAgent]].

These functions have been added to OpenSim with commit r/14355 on November 16, 2010.

'''Example:'''
<source lang="lsl">// Teleporting HUD script
// Put this script into a prim and attach it as a HUD

list Destinations = [ "Welcome Area",
"hg.osgrid.org:80",
"ucigrid00.nacs.uci.edu:8002:Gateway 3000",

OsConsoleCommand

2010-11-17T08:46:52Z

Marck: Reordering, merging, and removing redundant info. Also removed people's signatures because that info is already available in the history and this is not the discussion page

'''Syntax:'''

'''osConsoleCommand'''(string command)

'''Returns:'''

Nothing

'''Threat level:'''

Severe

'''Description:'''

This function allows an LSL script to directly execute a command to opensim's console. There are no security checks, so it can do anything a user with access to the command console could do, such as changing the avatar passwords, deleting sims, changing the terrain, and just about everything else. This command represents the highest security threat of any OSSL function, giving it a threat level of ''Severe''.

Do not use or allow this function unless you are absolutely sure of what you're doing! It is advisable to allow the use of this function for particular users only. See [[Threat level]] for more information on how to do this.

'''Example:'''

<source lang="lsl">osConsoleCommand("login disable");</source>
This would issue a Login Disable command on the console to prevent logins.

OSSL Enabling Functions

2010-11-17T08:29:49Z

Marck: Fixed some typos and added some more info

Here is a '''modified [XEngine]''' section for your OpenSim.ini

This is effective FROM OpenSim 0.7.1 Dev a7acb65-r/14142 (interface version 6) October-21-2010 and is subject to change.

Please remember the following:
* Not all functions may be available in previous versions / revisions of OpenSim.
* New functions may become available and some functions may be deprecated in the future.
* Consider using UUIDs for allowing certain functions to prevent potentially harmful uses.

Simply replace the [XEngine] section in your OpenSim.ini and adjust according to your needs.

'''Special Security Note:''' The functions as shown within the example below have values set to "sane" values with moderately acceptable threat levels. Set according to your comfort level and what you determine to be an acceptable level of risk potential. See the page about [[threat level]]s for an explanation of the various options that you have for enabling certain functions.

OsTeleportAgent

2010-11-16T18:56:52Z

Marck: Added reference to osTeleportOwner

'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, string destinationTarget, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, integer regionX, integer regionY, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, vector position, vector lookAt)'''

Teleports an agent to the specified location. The first variant is able to teleport to any addressable region, including [[hypergrid]] destinations. The second variant teleports to a region in the local grid; the region coordinates are specified as region cells (not as global coordinates based on meters). The third variant teleports within the current region.

These functions have a [[threat level]] of ''High'' and must be allowed in OpenSim.ini for operation (see [[OSSL Enabling Functions]] for examples). Also see [[osTeleportOwner]].

<source lang="lsl">// Example osTeleportAgent Script
//
// Set Destination as described below, There are a Few Options depending on Application:
// IN GRID Teleport
// Destination = "1000,1000"; = Using In-Grid Map XXXX,YYYY coordinates
// Destination = "RegionName"; = Using RegionName
// HyperGrid Teleport (region must be HG Enabled)
// Destination = "TcpIpAddr:Port:RegionName"; = Using the Target/Destination IP Address
// Destination = "DNSname:Port:RegionName"; = Using the Target/Detination DNSname
// Note: RegionName is Optionally Specified to deliver Avatar to specific region in an instance.
//
// ========================================================================================
// === SET DESTINATION INFO HERE ===
//

Threat level

2010-11-16T18:55:50Z

Marck: Added osTeleportOwner

{{Template:Quicklinks}} To permit region owners to enable the extended scripting functionality of [[OSSL]], without allowing malicious scripts to access potentially troublesome functions, each OSSL function is assigned a '''threat level''', and access to the functions is granted or denied based on a default threshold set in '''OpenSim.ini''' (which can be overridden for individual functions on a case-by-case basis).  Review [[OSSL_Enabling_Functions]] page with a full example for Implementing the various osFunctions for your system.

The threat levels, from wholly unthreatening to most potentially damaging, are:

;None
:Function is no threat at all. It doesn't constitute a threat to either users or the system and has no known side effects.
;Nuisance
:Abuse of this command can cause a nuisance to the region operator, such as log message spew.
;VeryLow
:Extreme levels of abuse of this function can cause impaired functioning of the region, or very gullible users can be tricked into experiencing harmless effects.
;Low
:Intentional abuse can cause crashes or malfunction under certain circumstances, which can be easily rectified; or certain users can be tricked into certain situations in an avoidable manner.
;Moderate
:Intentional abuse can cause denial of service and crashes with potential of data or state loss; or trusting users can be tricked into embarrassing or uncomfortable situations.
;High
:Casual abuse can cause impaired functionality or temporary denial of service conditions. Intentional abuse can easily cause crashes with potential data loss, or can be used to trick experienced and cautious users into unwanted situations, or changes global data permanently and without undo ability.
;VeryHigh
:Even normal use may, depending on the number of instances, or frequency of use, result in severe service impairment or crash with loss of data, or can be used to cause unwanted or harmful effects on users without giving the user a means to avoid it.
;Severe
:Even casual use is a danger to region stability, or function allows console or OS command execution, or function allows taking money without consent, or allows deletion or modification of user data, or allows the compromise of sensitive data by design.

 The '''OSFunctionThreatLevel''' setting in the script engines' configuration sections of [[OpenSim.ini]] controls what classes of functions are accessible to scripts owned by any avatar; any function at the same threat level or lower than the value provided for '''OsFunctionThreatLevel''' is permitted to run. If '''OSFunctionThreatLevel''' is absent from the configuration file, the default value is '''VeryLow'''.

OSSL functions may also be permitted or prohibited on an individual basis, by adding '''Allow_*''' lines to the script engine's configuration section. To permit scripts owned by anyone to access a function, even if its threat level exceeds the value of '''OSFunctionThreatLevel''', use the value 'true':

<source lang="ini">
Allow_osMakeNotecard = true
</source>

To prohibit scripts owned by anyone from accessing a function, even if its threat level is equal to or below the value of '''OSFunctionThreatLevel''', use the value 'false':

<source lang="ini">
Allow_osMovePen = false
</source>

To allow scripts owned by only certain avatars to access a function, use the UUIDs of the avatars owning the scripts. If multiple avatars are to be permitted access, separate the UUIDs with commas:

<source lang="ini">
Allow_osMakeNotecard = a1cbbdd7-8adb-4158-aa52-c0ee882c4492
Allow_osTeleportAgent = a1cbbdd7-8adb-4158-aa52-c0ee882c4492,9cab27da-764c-4469-a628-369d978ba436
</source>

Below is a list of OSSL functions grouped by threat level:

;None
:[[OsDrawEllipse]], [[OsDrawFilledRectangle]], [[OsDrawImage]], [[OsDrawLine]], [[OsDrawRectangle]], [[OsDrawText]], [[OsGetAgents]], [[OsGetAvatarList]], [[OsGetCurrentSunHour]], [[OsList2Double]], [[OsMovePen]], [[OsParseJSON]], [[OsSetFontSize]], [[OsSetPenColour]], [[OsSetPenSize]], [[OsSunGetParam]], [[OsSunSetParam]], [[OsTeleportOwner]], [[OsTerrainGetHeight]], [[OsWindActiveModelPluginName]]

== Ascertaining privilege to use a function ==

There is not currently a function which would allow a script to determine whether or not it has permission to use any specific OSSL function. Such a function was proposed, but rejected by a developer on the grounds that it could permit a griefer script too much knowledge of its environment (though, as shown below, this information is already available through other methods, albeit less efficient ones).

Leaving the question of griefer scripts aside, such knowledge is also useful to legitimate scripts (for instance, an animation vendor with a "Try me!" button, which might use osAvatarPlayAnimation() to demonstrate the animation without requiring the user to explicitly grant permission, but fall back to llStartAnimation() in the event that osAvatarPlayAnimation() is unavailable).

If a script attempts to use an OSSL function that it does not have permission to use, only the current invocation of the event handler which called the function crashes; the script remains running, and the event handler will be executed again the next time the event fires. A script may take advantage of this fact to ascertain which functions are available to it, by using an information-gathering state with a timer to iterate quickly through the OSSL functions it needs; when a function call succeeds, it can then set a variable indicating that the function is available. Once it has iterated through all the functions, it then switches out of the information-gathering state.

<source lang="lsl">
// OSSL Function Availability Tester
//

if (index == -1) return 0; // Return FALSE if the function name wasn't one of the ones we checked.

}

== Current OSSL Functions Implemented ==

Updated October.21.2010 From OpenSimulator Master/Dev Source.

Special Note:   Some Functions as shown use '''"double"''' as a Value instead of '''"float" '''these vary for purposes of accuracy as shown Below. 

(Float is short for "floating point", and just means a number with a point something on the end.)

The difference between the two is in the size of the numbers that they can hold. For float, you can have up to 7 digits in your number. For doubles, you can have up to 16 digits. To be more precise, here's the official size: ( float: 1.5 × 10-45 to 3.4 × 1038 ) ( double: 5.0 × 10-324 to 1.7 × 10308 )

Each of these functions has an threat level associated to it. See [[Threat level]] for more information and an overview of each function's level.

'''osTeleportOwner(string destinationTarget, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportOwner(integer regionX, integer regionY, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportOwner(vector position, vector lookAt)'''

Teleports the owner of the object containing the script to the specified location. The first variant is able to teleport to any addressable region, including [[hypergrid]] destinations. The second variant teleports to a region in the local grid; the region coordinates are specified as region cells (not as global coordinates based on meters). The third variant teleports within the current region.

These functions have a [[threat level]] of ''None''. Also see [[osTeleportAgent]].

These functions have been added to OpenSim with commit r/14355 on November 16, 2010.

'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, integer regionX, integer regionY, vector position, vector lookAt)''' 
'''osTeleportAgent(key UUID, vector position, vector lookAt)'''

Teleports an agent to the specified location. The first variant is able to teleport to any addressable region, including [[hypergrid]] destinations. The second variant teleports to a region in the local grid; the region coordinates are specified as region cells (not as global coordinates based on meters). The third variant teleports within the current region.

These functions have a [[threat level]] of ''High'' and must be allowed in OpenSim.ini for operation (see [[OSSL Enabling Functions]] for examples).

Marck: Undo revision 18993 by Francisco21 (Talk) Removed spam

{{Template:Quicklinks}}
 

==OpenSim Grid - Ports for Grid Services - from version 0.7.0 ==

Ports used for Grid services (such as login, user control, grid management, asset services and inventory services, etc) are run within a ''Robust'' shell started by Robust.exe. They can be configured to state which port they run on, and the services can be run across multiple machines as desired to balance load.

But in a simple grid with all the Robust services running in a single Robust.exe shell it is normal to just use two ports for all services:

TCP/8002 - All externally and user accessible OpenSim services
TCP/8003 - All internal OpenSim servics

Hence, 8002 should be accessible through your firewall, but in this simple setup 8003 can be behind a firewall.

==OpenSim Grid - Ports for Region Simulators==
One port must be open on any computer running an OpenSim.exe simulator that attaches to a grid. OpenSim.exe can be run on same computer (or one of computers) on which the Grid Services run, or on a separate computer. One OpenSim.exe can be used to run a number of regions, but each region must have its own unique port on that computer.

TCP+UDP/9000 - Default Port for First Simulator - grid, regions, and clients talk to these
TCP+UDP/9001 - Default Prot for Second Simulator - grid, regions, and clients talk to these
TCP+UDP/900x - Default Port for further Simulators...

In fact you can choose which port you prefer to use for each region on grid using the '''InternalPort''' parameter in the relevant Region description .ini file

XML-RPC communications, if enabled, are on the port specified in the [XMLRPC] section '''XmlRpcPort''' parameter (default port 20800).

TCP+UDP/20800 - Default Port for XML-RPC communications to a specific OpenSim.ini simulator (and all regions on it)

==OpenSim StandAlone==
* UDP+TCP/9000 - Services and the single region simulator are used via this single port

* Check your /bin/Regions/ directory which contain one or more Region description files. Three of the fields will specify the internal IP address or domain name, the external IP address or domain name, and the port to be used for the region (which must be unique for each region) - something like this:
InternalAddress = "0.0.0.0"
InternalPort = 9000
ExternalHostName = 82.73.39.77"

* Retrieve your [http://www.ip-adress.com/ external_host_name]
* Get your internal_ip_address (using ipconfig for windows, or ifconfig for linux)
* Make sure the settings match

If you have a router in front of your internet-modem, check out ''NAT and Port Forwarding''.
Else you're good to go.

==Optional and Add-on Module Specific Ports==

===FreeSWITCH Voice===

TCP+UDP 5060 - SIP Ports (5060 for default call profile)
TCP+UDP 1720 - H.323 ports for call setup

More details on the Freeswitch ports used and firewall configuration details are at:

* [[Freeswitch_Module#Firewall_Config]]
* http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Firewall

===Mumble Voice===

SIP Ports
ICE Ports

== NAT and Port Forwarding ==

=== Straightforward ===

If your host does not have a public IP address (eg it is hidden behind a home router) you will have issues hosting grid and region servers if you plan on connecting clients to it on both sides of the router, however this can be worked around through the use of port forwarding and ip-redirecting.This will also correct issues where the client hangs at region handshake. 

*Set internal_ip_address to your local LAN-ip(e.g. 192.168.2.1) (region xml-file)
*Set the external_host_name to your external IP-Address (Not a hostname, since DNS-resolving doesn't work properly) (region xml-file)
*Forward the appropriate ports to the OpenSim-server on both UDP and TCP (router-setup)
*Open appropriate ports on the OpenSim-server's firewall on both UDP and TCP 
*Reroute traffic for '''Linux:'''
**iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst '''''EXTERNAL_IP''''' -p tcp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination '''INTERNAL_IP'''
**iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst '''''EXTERNAL_IP''''' -p udp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination '''''INTERNAL_IP'''''
**service iptables restart 

Those iptables lines will redirect any traffic going to '''''EXTERNAL_IP''''' on ports 9000 to 9010 to I'''''NTERNAL_IP'''''. The internal ip is the LAN-IP of your server, and External ip is your internet IP. ''Use the above iptables command on all internal machines'' except your gateway/router. This assumes your gateway/router machine does not also host your sim. This also assume you have a default ACCEPT policy on your internal machines. So to connect from within your LAN, use the above iptables commands to reroute the traffic to the server internal ip.

*Reroute traffic for '''Windows:'''
**netsh (this method needs experimentation and elaboration. Please see the [[Talk:Network Settings|Discussion page]] for some guesswork on where to start)
***note from paulieFlomar: I tried using Windows built-in tools like FireWall, netsh, and IP Security Policy. My experience with these tools was unsuccessful. I then tried to create an outgoing rule with some third-party firewall products. I tried ZoneAlarm and Sunbelt Firewall. Neither of these products would allow me to create outgoing rules. Finally, I tried creating an outgoing rule in my Linux IP Tables firewall. This worked. I created 2 rules which I placed in a firewall script, before my NAT rule. The rules were:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst '''''EXTERNAL_IP''''' -p tcp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination '''''INTERNAL_IP'''''

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst '''''EXTERNAL_IP''''' -p udp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination '''''INTERNAL_IP'''''

These rules worked. I can now access my region from my LAN.

Optional:

*Register an external domain-name (for external connections)
*Use Bind for internal domain-name resolving

=== DynDNS loopback ===

This method was used and successfully tested using www.dyndns.com (creates a virtual domain for your pc/ip, like yourcomputer.ath.cx) as loopback for devices on a LAN with three machines (pentium 2.8ghz running windows xp - internet server , amd opteron running ubuntu 7.10 64bit - as opensim server - and MacBook with OSX 10.4.11 - as client), a modem (thomson/alcatel speedtouch 330) and a mini-switch (which brand no one ever heard of). The connection of these machines is made as following: Modem -> Win Pc -> Switch -> Mac and Ubuntu. Dyndns is used to loopback to the Win Pc, and then it forwards the request to the internal LAN opensim server, which grants everything for the client. As for the client, if he is inside the private LAN then he is now actually someone on the internet requesting for access to the opensim server. Thus, if the client is someone on the internet then he will be treated like that. Tricky ? Further details ahead:

Method:

*Set the simulator listening IP address to your dyndns domain - edit ''opensim/bin/Regions/default.xml''; and change the external_host_name to ''external_host_name="yourcomputer.ath.cx"''. Leave internal_ip_address "0.0.0.0" and port "9000".
*Set the client (SecondLife Viewer) -loginuri to "yourcomputer.ath.cx:8002" (the port used was 8002, yours can be different if you configured it that way) - i didnt used the -loginserver flag also.
*Port Forward the above ports on the internet server (in this case, win xp). You do so by creating exceptions in Windows Firewall for the above mentioned ports, and for both connections: Internet Connection and LAN - this keeps the ports open for the web requests to travel over the private network.
*Edit "hosts" file (on windows, this is C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts and on Unix-type systems, this is /etc/hosts) entry on your internet server (in this case, win xp box) and add the following line: ''xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<nowiki>    </nowiki> yourcomputer.ath.cx''. Of course, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your opensim server internal LAN IP.

yourcomputer.ath.cx is now available for everyone to connect and you may login with the client!

 

=== DynDNS and the free IPCop Linux Firewall ===

Here an other way with the IPCop Linux Firewall, DynDNS and a OpenSimulator server

*Setup an IPCop firewall with 3 interfaces (red, green, orange) and put the OpenSimulator server on the orange interface (all OpenSimulator server's on one Linux box). Red is the internet, green is your lan.
*Setup the DynDNS service on the IPCop Firewall.
*change the external_host_name in the default.xml to the DynDNS name
*do'nt change the internal_ip_address in the default.XML, it should be 0.0.0.0
*if there, delete all loopbacks in /etc/hosts only 127.0.0.1 should be localhost
*customize the Port Forwarding on the IPCop Firewall (8002 TCP, 9000 UDP/TCP and for every additonal region 900X UDP/TCP). Port forwarding should be set to the (orange) interface adress of the OpenSimulator Box

Then it should be possible to conenct from inside the LAN (green) and it is also possible to conenct from the internet (over the red interface). (well, the inside-lan connections are also made now over the RED interface, but infact, this is in the same ISP network, it should be quit fast ;-)

*Attention : the ports on the IPCop Firewall must also be open if you connect from inside (green) to your OpenSimulator Grid !

If you are using the OS WebGui, do'nt forget to set the "SMTP AUTH" in your email server. Most of the dynamic IPs are blocked at ISP level so the new users do'nt get any confirmation email.

This was tested with the Hippo OpenSim Viewer and with the Login URL : http://DynDNSName:8002

 

=== Local connections with ZyXEL DSL modem/router and NAT/Port Forwarding ===

This solution works with the ZyXEL Prestige 660ME-61 DSL Router. It may work with other models made by ZyXEL.

Method:

*Connect by TELNET to your ZyXEL DSL modem. Use the same IP address that you would if you were using the web interface. For example, the default ip on most Embarq ZyXEL DSL modems is 192.168.2.1.

telnet 192.168.2.1

*Enter your password. If you do not know it, try just pressing <ENTER> or ask your ISP for the password. They may or may not give it to you.

*Select menu option "24. System Maintenance" from the menu.

=== Local connections with the DLink GamerLounge Extreme N router ===

Networking and router configurations have been responsible for 98% of all trouble I have had setting up and operating OpenSimulator region server software. Insuring that you have a capable router properly configured should be the first thing on the list of configuration checkpoints for a smooth and trouble-free path to OpenSimulator software operations in GridMode.

Below is a series of screen snapshots with the key pages of my router configuration interface with proper settings displayed.

The settings below assume that you have an otherwise working connection and do not touch on such subjects as port conflicts or logging your network onto your ISP's provider network.

===Local and Internet connections with Linux iptables and NAT/Port Forwarding=== Please don't copy this verbatim - much more should go into a firewall setup, but this will at a bare minimum get NAT working with forwarding to your OpenSim server from both inside and outside your LAN.

Example firewall.sh script: <source lang="bash">
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_redirects
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_source_route
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/send_redirects
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/log_martians
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp
modprobe nf_nat_ftp

INT = "eth0" # your internal network card on the firewall
EXT = "eth1" # Your external network card on the firewall
IPTABLES = "/sbin/iptables" # Path to your iptables executable

OPENSIMEXT = "66.102.1.103/32" # Example external IP - replace with yours
OPENSIMINT = "192.168.1.240/32" # Internal IP of your OpenSim server
INTSUBNET = "192.168.1.0/24" # Your internal subnet range

# Flush rules when we are restarting the script
$IPTABLES -F
$IPTABLES -F -t nat
$IPTABLES -F -t mangle

# Set up sane defaults

$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP

# Allow all connections from inside the network to the firewall on all ports
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $INT -j ACCEPT
# Allow all outbound connections from the inside. Much better to limit this...
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -o $EXT -j ACCEPT

# Configure basic NAT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXT -j SNAT --to-source $OUTNAT

$IPTABLES -A PREROUTING -p udp -d $OPENSIMEXT --dport 9000 -j DNAT --to-destination $OPENSIMINT

# Now for the magical juice that lets inside users and outside users both access your server

Wifi

2010-09-16T08:00:28Z

Marck: Updated to reflect changes to default avatar configuration

'''Wifi - A Simple Account Management Front-end'''

"Wifi" stands for "Web Interface For... I" and is an '''add-on''' module that '''IS NOT IN THE CORE''' of OpenSim. It is provided by Diva Canto and can be added to OpenSim 0.7 onwards. Please do not ask the core OpenSim team for support.

== Introduction ==

Initial information is available from http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/?p=37 and is taken here pretty much verbatim for now...

Wifi provides an embedded Web application for handling user registrations. Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers. It's features include:

* Account creation, optionally controlled by the administrator
* Configurable default avatars for new accounts
* Account updates by both users and administrator
* Account deletion by administrator
* Password recovery via email
* Simple user inventory management
* Welcome page which can be used as viewer -loginpage

Wifi has a few interesting properties that make it a good fit for small-to-medium OpenSimulator-based virtual worlds.

* First of all, it doesn’t require the installation of Apache or other Web servers; it’s all done within the OpenSimulator code base.
* Second, using the OpenSimulator code base brings many technical benefits. This isn’t an immediate benefit, but it is a benefit in the long run. Unlike the Apache-based Web apps that interface with the DB directly, Wifi interfaces with the OpenSimulator services layer using the core code, and therefore it is isolated from future changes to the OpenSimulator DB schema.
* Third, technically, Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers.

== Diva Distribution ==

[[Image:Diva-Tagus-Wifi-Example-v2.jpg|500px|right|Example Wifi Entry Page]]

Wifi is included and enabled by default in the Diva Distribution:

* Documentation: http://wiki.github.com/diva/d2/wifi
* Blog Description: http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/
* Downloads and binary distribution: http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
* Source Code: http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/
 

== Adding Wifi to your OpenSim Setup ==

'''Additions to Standard OpenSim Distribution (from 0.7 onwards)'''

=== Binary Approach ===

Obtain the latest Wifi module distribution zip from
http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
and place the files as instructed in the equivalent locations in your OpenSim directory.

bin directory
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.dll
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.ScriptEngine.dll
* add bin/Diva.OpenSimServices.dll
* for standalones, also add bin/Diva.Modules.dll

Copy WifiPages directory and its contents to OpenSim top level directory.

doc directory
* add in doc/WIFI.txt

Copy over the WIFI releated readme, release notes and licence.

For grids, edit Robust(.HG).ini in section [Startup] to add 8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector to <code>ServiceConnectors</code>.

For standalones, edit StandaloneCommon.ini in section [Modules] to add <code>WifiModule = true</code>.

Add a new section [WifiService] from example at http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example to Robust(.HG).ini (for grids) or StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones).

=== Source Code Approach ===

Get Diva Distribution which contains the Wifi modules from
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/

== Setting Configuration Parameters for a Grid ==

The complete example file is here:
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example

'''Additions to Robust.ini or Robust.HG.ini for Grids'''

<source lang="ini">[Startup]
ServiceConnectors = "8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector"
</source>

Note that it will be usual to specify the port number to be accessible outside your firewall (normally port 8002) rather than the default Network Port for internal inter-component OpenSim traffic (normally port 8003) which can be set to only be accessible within a firewall.

<source lang="ini">[WifiService]
GridName = "grid name"
LoginURL = "http://<hostname>:8002"
WebAddress = "http://<hostname>:8002"

;; The Wifi Administrator account
AdminFirst = "Wifi"
AdminLast = "Admin"
AdminEmail = "you@example.com"

;; Do you want to be able to control grid registrations?
AccountConfirmationRequired = false

;; Default avatars for new account registration
;; Syntax: AvatarAccount_<AvatarType> = "<FirstName> <LastName>"
;; Appearance and attachments are copied from avatar <FirstName> <LastName>.
AvatarAccount_Female = "Female Avatar"
AvatarAccount_Male = "Male Avatar"
AvatarAccount_Neutral = "Neutral Avatar"

;; Preselection for default avatar in new account registration
AvatarPreselection = "Neutral"

;; Variables for your mail server
;; Users will get email notifications from this account.
SmtpHost = "mail.example.com"
SmtpPort = "587"
SmtpUsername = "your_account_in_this_mail_server"
SmtpPassword = "your_password_in_this_mail_server"
</source>

== Setting Configuration Parameters for a Standalone ==

The complete example file is here:
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example

'''Additions to config-include/StandaloneCommon.ini for Standalones'''

<source lang="ini">[Modules]
WifiModule = true

[WifiService]
GridName = "grid name"
LoginURL = "http://<hostname>:9000"
WebAddress = "http://<hostname>:9000"

;; The Wifi Administrator account
AdminFirst = "Wifi"
AdminLast = "Admin"
AdminEmail = "you@example.com"

;; Do you want to be able to control grid registrations?
AccountConfirmationRequired = false

;; Default avatars for new account registration
;; Syntax: AvatarAccount_<AvatarType> = "<FirstName> <LastName>"
;; Appearance and attachments are copied from avatar <FirstName> <LastName>.
AvatarAccount_Female = "Female Avatar"
AvatarAccount_Male = "Male Avatar"
AvatarAccount_Neutral = "Neutral Avatar"

;; Preselection for default avatar in new account registration
AvatarPreselection = "Neutral"

;; Variables for your mail server
;; Users will get email notifications from this account.
SmtpHost = "mail.example.com"
SmtpPort = "587"
SmtpUsername = "your_account_in_this_mail_server"
SmtpPassword = "your_password_in_this_mail_server"
</source>

== Configurable Default Avatars ==

When users sign up, they can choose between default avatars. It's up to you to decide what these default avatars look like. Here is how you can configure them... Once your OpenSim is up and running, create accounts (using Wifi) with the names given in your configuration. With the above examples, these would be:
* Male Avatar
* Female Avatar
* Neutral Avatar

Then login to the world under each of those accounts, and set their appearances however you like. You can add prim attachments.

[[Image:Openvue-avatars-male-female-neutral-2010-08-27.jpg|Example Avatars]]

== Problems with HTTP ports ==

The port used for the Wifi HTTP service is configurable. Usually this will be 8002 for a grid and 9000 for a standalone unless you use custom ports.

For a standalone you can do this by adding the "port" line for the port to use for Wifi and other services to the [Network] section of OpenSim.ini

<source lang="ini">[Network]
port = 9000
</source>

Or for a grid specify a specific port (usually 8002) for the WifiServiceConnector in the ServiceConnectors list in the [Startup] section of Robust(.HG).ini

<source lang="ini">[Startup]
ServiceConnectors="............,8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector"
</source>

In either case, define the equivalent WebAddress in the [WifiService] section of your StandaloneCommon.ini or Robust(.HG).ini (or addon-modules/Wifi/config/Wifi.ini if used in future).

<source lang="ini">[WifiService]
WebAddress = "http://hostname:8002"
</source>

If you do not use the usual OpenSim service ports, please note that some network setups and ISPs will not allow HTTP to be served on port 80. It is usual to use an alternative port such as 8080 or a custom port in that case.

== Wifi URLs When Operational ==

* Sample grid: <nowiki>http://yourgridhostname:8002/wifi</nowiki>
* Sample standalone: <nowiki>http://yourstandalonehostname:9000/wifi</nowiki>
* Local standalone: <nowiki>http://localhost:9000/wifi</nowiki>

'''Examples'''

* Diva Tagus Test World (temporary August 2010): http://tagus.ics.uci.edu:9000/wifi

== Wifi Administrator Functions ==

=== Manage Users ===

If authorisation is set to be on, you will receive an e-mail to the nominated admin account e-mail address if a user requests a new account and avatar creation. You can activate or delete new user creation requests. Users are notified of the activation via an e-mail to their nominated address.

You can also search for users and change their details. Give a space as a search term to select all avatars. Available are fields for "Level", "Flags" and "Title".
* Level = 0 is a normal user
* Level = 100 is a Wifi admin account user

You can manually reset a user's password by typiing into the password box and the nhitting the "Reset" button. Note that the user is '''NOT''' infromed of this password reset, so you must manually contact the user to communicate such a password change.

Note that the Wifi admin username/avatar is set in the Wifi configuration, and can be changed there. BUT.. '''once an admin always an admin'''. Well almost. If you change from one admin to another, the previous avatar still has administrator rights. You can remove Wifi administrator rights from an avatar by changing the "Level" of the user from 100 to 0 using the Manage Users facility in Wifi.

=== Manage Regions ===

Future functionality.

Chat log from the meeting on 2009-06-23

2010-09-11T20:48:44Z

Marck: Undo revision 18953 by Francene21 (Talk) Removed spam

Justin Clark-Casey: penny: I think the people to really talk to about this are Nebadon and Charles. They run this meeting nowadays
 Starky Rubble: There's also the question of resources
 Master Dubrovna: I think people at LBSA and here overloaded things this time
 Penny Lane: They were running it ... until it crashed. :P Vicious circle
 Monk Zymurgy: hi OtakuMegane
 Carissa Raynier: hi everyone
 Starky Rubble: all the plazzs are on one of two servers AFIK
 Justin Clark-Casey: hmm, if this is your only opportunity to talk to them then that is a little problematic :) You could also try taking the temperature on this topic on the opensim-dev list
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 OtakuMegane Desu: Hey
 Orion Hax: might a suggest for large meetings to use a sim with less of a prim/script load
 Penny Lane: JCC: I'll talk to CK. He probably doesn't appreciate being cut off in mid sentence every week.
 Starky Rubble: prolly not lol
 Penny Lane: Proper stress tests would be cool, btw
 Starky Rubble: I like to attend for the social aspect but mostly for the background info on current dev thinking
 Penny Lane: Actually looking at the metrics as the load rises, plotting the graphs etc
 Justin Clark-Casey: intel have done some work on this kind of thing in a controlled manner
 Penny Lane: What you don't measure you don't really know.
 Starky Rubble: there are graphs in the corner over there
 Penny Lane: JCC: you mean John?
 Justin Clark-Casey: no, dslake
 Penny Lane: Ta
 Kitto Flora: Right Penny. A stress test that does not gather data and have a path to dealing with problems encountered is of little use.
 Penny Lane: And I'm up for social gathering and chewing the rag too. ;-) But those things sometimes conflict :-)
 Starky Rubble: sure
 Richardus Raymaker: hi starky
 Kitto Flora asks his usual question: Anyone here working on server ode physics/vehicles? (Yes I kow 'teravus is').
 Starky Rubble: Hey Richardus
 Dahlia Trimble: not lately
 Justin Clark-Casey: I believe somebody from IBM made a small change recently
 Justin Clark-Casey: but yeah, nothing apart from that
 Penny Lane waves at Dahlia :-)
 Starky Rubble: hee - I always say Kitto Flora is...
 Dahlia Trimble waves back :)
 WhiteStar Magic: I believe that Snowcrash has a coupleof ideas in regards to using MRM and Vehicle Movements
 WhiteStar Magic: we were discussing that along with a few other items yesterday
 Kitto Flora: Where, ShiteStar?
 Kitto Flora: White...
 OtakuMegane Desu: Lawl
 WhiteStar Magic: in one of teh IRC's
 Brent Seidel: :-O
 WhiteStar Magic: snow is making up a few MRM based courses for people
 Kitto Flora: Pse expand MRM
 Starky Rubble: for the C# cvlasses?
 WhiteStar Magic: Adam MRM Mini Region MOdule
 Wordfromthe Wise: i will try that
 WhiteStar Magic: http://www.adamfrisby.com/blog/tag/mrm/
 WhiteStar Magic: save that till later
 Starky Rubble: Hi Static!
 Wordfromthe Wise: i just run the official 9841
 Dahlia Trimble: anyone try the snowglobe viewer with opensim yet?
 WhiteStar Magic: Not yet... still playing with Meerkat
 paulie Flomar: :)
 WhiteStar Magic: I was gonna install snowglobe this week and play with it
 Dahlia Trimble: I use it with SL but I've been using emerald with opensim lately
 Static Sprocket: Ello Starky
 paulie Flomar: Happeh SL6B!
 Penny Lane: I'm on Snowglobe on SL currently.
 tx Oh: what so new with snowglobe?
 Justin Clark-Casey: dahlia: emerald is another viewer flavour?
 Penny Lane: I've found a few crash problems, but nothing major
 Dahlia Trimble: emerald has some nice building and radar features
 tx Oh: i mean why should i try snowglobe?
 Simulator Version v0.5 shouts: OpenSim 0.6.5 (Dev) .9867 (OS Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)
 Kernel \r on an \m) ChilTasks:True PhysPrim:True
 Dahlia Trimble: snowglobe seems to have a higher FPS and loads textures faster but bump maps dont work
 Justin Clark-Casey: dahlia: seems to be invisible to Google :) Is that a Linden codename or just the name of somebody else's viewer branch?
 Penny Lane: Nothing particularly new with Snowglobe, other than the map textures coming straight from S3 over HTTP. But it's supposedly a more open LL viewer, in the sense that there are a select number of residents with commit access to the LL SVN for it.
 tx Oh: i would like to see bumpmap applied by user textures
 Dahlia Trimble: snowglobe is that open source viewer that Philip is sponsoring
 Justin Clark-Casey: Dahlia; I meant emerald rather than snowglobe
 WhiteStar Magic: based on LL code ?
 Justin Clark-Casey: Penny: any sense of how that is going? Co-operation working well there?
 Dahlia Trimble: oh lemme try to find the emerald link
 Brent Seidel: Look for GreenLife Emerald Viewer
 Justin Clark-Casey: got it. thanks brent, dahlia
 Penny Lane: Only two residents currently have commit access. Yeah, it's just the LL viewer with more patches and a less onerous acceptance path .... allegedly
 Justin Clark-Casey: only two? Oh, I thought it was more than that
 Penny Lane: JCC: cooperation is going very well atm, but it's early days. So far the LL people who vet patches haven't said "No"
 Richardus Raymaker is Online
 Penny Lane: They will start rejecting patches of course. The big question is when ... at the slightest hint of divergence from LL's plans? Or will it be more flexible? Who knows
 tx Oh: i like to know when the next hippo will be there. as far as i know the obscure 4096 tp limit is eliminated
 Justin Clark-Casey: yeah, that's the issue that interests me, esp. if people try to start to generalize things more for non Linden servers such as OpenSim
 Dahlia Trimble: heh at one time I had some stepping store regions set up on osgrid so I could tp between my islands and WP
 Dahlia Trimble: *stone
 WhiteStar Magic: well... are we Linden Server or not ? Why remain anchored in teh concrete galoshes of LL code ?
 Penny Lane: There's a good likelihood that OGP stuff will go into Snowglobe early. That's not particularly interesting though, since OGP is so threadbare currently.
 paulie Flomar: HG ftw!
 Dahlia Trimble: heh we need grider in snowglobe :)
 Monk Zymurgy: paulie : +1
 paulie Flomar: Anyone playuing with Meerkat viewer?
 Penny Lane: White: we're not anchored to SL at all. The only problem is that we don't really have our own viewer (despite many future candidates), plus the fact that the peeps who use Opensim actually want compatibility with SL.
 Dahlia Trimble: tried it
 Maik Galaxy: yes, it a nice stable viewer..
 Penny Lane: Meerkat's interesting, but for me on Linux, very flakey.
 Justin Clark-Casey: don't underestimate the amount of weight that existing SL code has
 Justin Clark-Casey: and its mindshare
 tx Oh: i get dizzy with all this viewer names droped in
 Justin Clark-Casey: and the fact that they have paid developers :)
 Dahlia Trimble: we have Idealist but the momentum seems to be lacking
 Maik Galaxy: the gemini-viewer is nice for builders
 tx Oh: i made me an own viewer, just for machinema
 Penny Lane: Would be great if there were a concerted push for our own viewer. Idealist certainly sounds likea great candidate.
 tx Oh: it's not linux compatible nor mac
 Dahlia Trimble: it runs on linux
 Dahlia Trimble: should run on a mac
 Penny Lane: tx meant his own viewer :-)
 tx Oh: sure? with wine?
 Brent Seidel: That's the thing. Any "OpenSim" viewer would have to support Window, Linux, and MacOS.
 Dahlia Trimble: idealist should run natively
 Maik Galaxy: own viewer based on meerkat
 tx Oh: my viewer is linux only :-)
 Dahlia Trimble: well not natively, it would require mono and possibley X
 Penny Lane: HGehe
 Penny Lane: libc probably helps too
 Richardus Raymaker: wine is not nice. small font. dont like to run viewer under emulator or something like that
 tx Oh: oh got, more mono.
 Richardus Raymaker: besides that, wine is not stable with SL viewer.
 Richardus Raymaker: noo, not again mono ! :P
 Dahlia Trimble <3 mono
 Penny Lane: Wine isn't stable with anything, really. Even when it works with something, you upgrade either Wine or the app and it's broken again.
 tx Oh: i think the hippo is cool. why not support that in a way?
 Richardus Raymaker: right penny. but iwould not make it worser
 Dahlia Trimble: hippo is cool but it's derived from the LL codebase
 Penny Lane: Wine will never be stable, simply because it's chasing Microsoft's tail lights, and that's an impossible tastk.
 tx Oh: so what? ll viewer is gpl'ed
 Dahlia Trimble: :)
 Richardus Raymaker: which form ? bsd ? gnu ?
 Justin Clark-Casey: I gather the issue is the complexity of the LL codebase and the difficulty in adapting it
 Penny Lane: Some people have a religious problem with GPL. Not engineering, religion.
 Justin Clark-Casey: well, and license too, arguably
 tx Oh: i love gpl, i love debian
 Dahlia Trimble: I think the GPL issue is the desire to use opensim commercially rather than religious
 Static Sprocket: I suspect some developers also have issues with the archetecture of the LL viewers, and would prefer to start from scratch <shrug>
 Richardus Raymaker: i loe linux
 Penny Lane: Yeah, that's true, lot of arch problems there.
 Justin Clark-Casey: static: developerse always love to start from scratch. But a lot of man years have gone into the LL veiewer
 WhiteStar Magic: /??
 Richardus Raymaker: how long is opensim now ? 2 years ?
 tx Oh: thats what i mean. it's hard to stomp something of the ground
 Justin Clark-Casey: two and a bit
 Dahlia Trimble: well Idealist can display collada content alongside prims and sculpties in the same scene, How long would it take the LL viewer to be modified to do that?
 Static Sprocket: Based on previous projects I've worked on, sometimes it takes even more man hours to fully understand an existing project's code, and then adapt it to your goals, then it would take to start from scratch.
 WhiteStar Magic: will LL give out the new code to SL 2 when it arrives ?
 Richardus Raymaker: right, and see how hhard it is to get opensim good.
 Static Sprocket: The man hours arguement is valid however if your goals are minor changes, or changes spread out over a long period of time
 Justin Clark-Casey: Static: that's true. Though often the reimplementers end up just repeating the mistakes of the original :)
 Richardus Raymaker: SL2 ? i missed something
 tx Oh: it's not only the renderer which makes the viewer
 Penny Lane: It's daft to throw good code away, and the detailed prim torture bits of the LL viewer for example are good, and very difficult to re-implement. Unfortunately, Opensim has got inself into the stupid position of disallowing its devs to examine and learn from the LL code, and everyone suffers from it.
 Orion Hax: the problem to me is its not a technical problem its a social problem, the biggest reason to use LL codebase to be compatible to SL so things can move back and forth, its like asking someone to move from there house to this new place but they cant bring anything with, most people wont do it.
 Static Sprocket: Indeed, not argueing for one vs the other -- although, in my personal case, I won't be touching the LL code, because I simply don't want to deal with C++ {and I suspect that's true of some others too}
 Dahlia Trimble: I've already implemented tortured prims :)
 Justin Clark-Casey: static: oh nor am I - I just like to argue ;)
 Penny Lane: lol
 Justin Clark-Casey: er, although that's a contradiction
 Justin Clark-Casey: yeah C++ - quick I guess but you pay for that in more bgus
 Justin Clark-Casey: bugs
 Dahlia Trimble: I dont mind c++ but I'm kinda rusty
 Starky Rubble: On a fifferent note, Do we have any idea how far through the refactoring project we currently are?
 tx Oh: i touch every code.. but i prefer simple k&r c
 Static Sprocket: Well, when I only have 20 hours to donate, I prefer not to spend 5 of them oil'ing up old skills ;-)
 Penny Lane: You mean Diva/Melanie's latest huge changes?
 Justin Clark-Casey: starky: I would say only Melanie and Diva have a good take on that
 Nas Messing: Hi everyone
 Starky Rubble: yes, I figgered as much
 Dahlia Trimble: k&r <3
 Static Sprocket: I'd say about 6% complete, but das jus me :-P
 Starky Rubble: 6? or 60?
 Nas Messing: Hi all
 Static Sprocket: six
 Justin Clark-Casey: hello Nas
 Starky Rubble: Yipes!
 Penny Lane: I don't recall them giving any estimates. It's be done when it's ready, there is no other way ... unless we want to help :-)
 Penny Lane: It'll*
 Static Sprocket: Then again thats 6% of what I personally think needs to be touched, I'm not sure what Diva and Mel's specific goals are
 Static Sprocket: seems like each week, they add more as they complete others <shrug>
 Penny Lane: It's an ambitious goal, that connector system
 Justin Clark-Casey: static: there's enough refactoring work in OpenSIm to power a city for 1000s of years
 Penny Lane: Hehe
 Nas Messing: doea anyone know Nebadon Izumi
 Starky Rubble: heh
 Dahlia Trimble: sounds familiar
 Robert Graf: lol
 Penny Lane: Never heard of him, right peeps? ;-)
 Carissa Raynier is Offline
 WhiteStar Magic: he is in SecondLife right now at the SL6B event
 Richardus Raymaker: who's he :))
 Starky Rubble: nope... a cipher
 Justin Clark-Casey: Nebadon Izumi - is he like Father Christmas?
 Richardus Raymaker: yes. i go see if i can move there
 Nas Messing: i see
 Nas Messing: tnx
 Starky Rubble: The Easter Egg Bunny
 Justin Clark-Casey: Nas: Seriously, he usually is here
 Justin Clark-Casey: Nas: Look for him in #osgrid on freenode
 Justin Clark-Casey: that's irc
 Static Sprocket: He's one of the admin's for OSGrid
 Philippe Debevec: Hi all
 Starky Rubble: He sould be holding the floor
 Justin Clark-Casey: but instead the floor held him
 Starky Rubble: slurp
 Justin Clark-Casey: actually, he is currently in Second Life as SL6B manning the OpenSimulator booth
 Jamenai Luik: Hi
 Penny Lane: You'll normally find Neb here at 1005 on Tuesdays. By 1010 we've crashed though, and he's gone :P
 Dahlia Trimble: lol
 OtakuMegane Desu: And trying not to move there. Otherwise he crashes apparently lol.
 Richardus Raymaker: region full.
 Nas Messing: yes he is on freenode
 Nas Messing: tnx
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 Justin Clark-Casey: np
 Starky Rubble: Why Nas... do you have a problem?
 Nas Messing: no i just love this speakers
 Starky Rubble: heh
 Penny Lane: lol
 Nas Messing: maybe he will give me some
 Nas Messing: hihi
 Starky Rubble: He will
 Starky Rubble: go look around Zaius Plaza
 WhiteStar Magic: theyh are free to copy
 Starky Rubble: most of his stuff is copyable
 Nas Messing: okey tnx
 Starky Rubble: These are copyable too for that matter
 Penny Lane: Separate from Diva's area, anyone know what the state of Cable Beach is?
 Nas Messing: tnx
 Dahlia Trimble: ask jhurliman
 Penny Lane: Apparently he gave a talk, but I missed it
 Dahlia Trimble: he hangs out on IRC
 Justin Clark-Casey: penny: the metaverse U talk?
 Penny Lane: |Yep
 Penny Lane: I'll google, there's prolly a video
 Justin Clark-Casey: penny: yep, there is a youtube video of a login demo
 Penny Lane: Cool!
 Justin Clark-Casey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePwvlDZRNh4&feature=channel
 Penny Lane: Thanks JCC
 Justin Clark-Casey: penny: from the sounds of it on the cable beach mailing list, he's currently writing documentation too
 Static Sprocket: what!? Documentation!!! pft
 Justin Clark-Casey: ha ha ha. Shocking, aint it?
 Brent Seidel: <3 documentation
 Penny Lane: He'll get disowned by the Legions of FOSS!
 Dahlia Trimble: ewwwww documentation :(
 Penny Lane: Cable Beach is running in OSgrid, someone mentioned. Is that true?
 Justin Clark-Casey: I believe so - though for some reason they are transitioning back to something more like the vanilla servers bundled in OpenSim
 Dahlia Trimble: some of it may be, ask Adam Frisby
 Justin Clark-Casey: don't know the exact details myself though
 Orion Hax: documentations makes great kindling
 Dahlia Trimble: Adam has hacked up the asset server for osgrid quite a bit
 Penny Lane: LOL. Opensim isn't a project, it's a flock of developers. Nobody really knows where the flock is flying, nor what the goals is .... everyone just flies! ;-)))))
 Penny Lane: Seems to work :P
 Starky Rubble: See you all later, have fun everyone
 Justin Clark-Casey: penny: very true. Works after a fashion :)
 Penny Lane: Cya Starky :-)
 Richardus Raymaker: bye starky
 Dahlia Trimble: laterz Starky :)
 WhiteStar Magic: have a good one Starky
 Justin Clark-Casey: bye Starky
 Dahlia Trimble: I should go to and do my daily rl stuff.. bye all :)
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 Penny Lane: Bye Dahlia, tc :-)
 Justin Clark-Casey: bye Dahl
 Brent Seidel: bye Dahilia
 Richardus Raymaker: bye dahlia
 tx Oh: hmm
 Justin Clark-Casey: well, I should be off too. Nice to chat, take care people
 tx Oh: ahoi
 Brent Seidel: bye JCC
 WhiteStar Magic: Take Care Jcc
 Monk Zymurgy: cya justin
 Penny Lane: Infinity said today that she's likely to put OpenID into the OGP spec, despite not liking it, just to provide options. I hope that works out, since Opensim has both types of OpenID in
 Penny Lane: Cya JCC
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 Penny Lane: Anyone here on Hypergrid?
 WhiteStar Magic: yes
 tx Oh: whaf do u mean?
 Penny Lane: I've never found a working one, so would like to have a look :-)
 tx Oh: a hg region?
 Monk Zymurgy: you will have to go out of WP..no HG in this simulator
 WhiteStar Magic: There is a Teleportal for you
 Carissa Raynier is Offline
 Penny Lane accepted your inventory offer.
 Penny Lane accepted your inventory offer.
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 Penny Lane: Thanks WhiteStar!
 WhiteStar Magic: and a fairly up to date but not entirely accurate locations card to put in it
 Monk Zymurgy: tx..is your region HG enabled?
 WhiteStar Magic: none of teh Plaza's are HG enbaled right now
 tx Oh: sure, your too
 Carissa Raynier is Offline
 tx Oh: i guess i leave
 Penny Lane: Any idea why they're not?
 Monk Zymurgy: i switched it off..while trying to fix the asset problems
 WhiteStar Magic: troubleshooting issues
 tx Oh: ahoi
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 WhiteStar Magic: assets server now has new IP address and routing a bit different and seems to have solved soem issues
 Monk Zymurgy: i will re-enable it later..HG is great
 Carissa Raynier is Offline
 Monk Zymurgy: yeah..my region is much improved..i can get back to LSL scripting
 Penny Lane: I tend to be pushing interop at LL on a daily basis, so I love what's been done with HG. It's so miles ahead of LL thinking.
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 Monk Zymurgy: yeah..the concept of taking your appearance makes better sense to me
 WhiteStar Magic: Divan, Melanie and I chatted about HG and HG 2
 Penny Lane: HG2 is HG+perms?
 WhiteStar Magic: there is some new stuff coming very soon to further enhance / improve HG
 WhiteStar Magic: yes and better hgTP
 Monk Zymurgy: HG seems to have perms now
 WhiteStar Magic: They are incorporating my suggested osGetSimulatorStatus idea into the process
 Penny Lane: I hope the Plazas regain HG soon, as it's a showcase feature.
 Monk Zymurgy: you have to have full perms on objects to pass items from one grid to another
 Orion Hax: asset security is going to be an issue from here on out
 Monk Zymurgy: i think maintaining original perms/creator is most important
 WhiteStar Magic: That is a part of the fix
 Monk Zymurgy: i am not sure if HG keeps creator details intact
 Monk Zymurgy nods
 Monk Zymurgy: cool
 WhiteStar Magic: to reatin teh orifginal creator ID in the item
 WhiteStar Magic: right now it loses it outside of home grid
 Monk Zymurgy nods
 Monk Zymurgy: it seemed a bit borked
 WhiteStar Magic: that also causes reolution issues
 Penny Lane: Not really. Look at the web. Do you see many things secured? Less than 0.1%. The web would fall apart if it weren't full visible. And the way I see it, LL's model of access restrictions for normal objects won't work in the metaverse, because it'll cause widescale breakage.
 WhiteStar Magic: stucjk with loading......
 Monk Zymurgy: just keeping a set of flags..showing who was original maker and there copy intent..seems cool to me
 OtakuMegane Desu: Yeah
 WhiteStar Magic: but right now it is losing that info
 Penny Lane: So although currently there is huge preoccupation with perms because of the SL precedent, I don't think that's going to scale to the metaverse. At all. Nobody will be interested in clothes that don't travel with them when they world hop.
 Monk Zymurgy: of course ppl will strip this..but they are a fraudsters
 WhiteStar Magic: we all want our stuff
 Monk Zymurgy: i think overcoming fear is the biggest hurdle..rather than the tech
 OtakuMegane Desu: Obviously.
 OtakuMegane Desu: All in all the tech shouldn't be terribly difficult.
 Penny Lane: I'm not talking about fraudsters. I'm talking about Joe Blogs who travels between worlds and doesn't like losing his pants. Or Annie Blogs. Or her daughters.
 Orion Hax: im not saying everything has to be locked down but resonable mesures
 OtakuMegane Desu: It's getting the people onboard
 WhiteStar Magic: Creator ID, Inistial Perms etc....
 WhiteStar Magic: *Initial
 Monk Zymurgy: SL creator seem afraid of what will happen to thier items after leaving SL...
 Monk Zymurgy: but it will be no different to publishing items within SL
 WhiteStar Magic: if someone wants to rip it, they will ... there are dozens of ways to get around ANY security on ANY system
 Monk Zymurgy: sure
 Penny Lane: There are no such "reasonable measures" on the web, yet it works. Only very special items are locked down, and that's how I think it'll work when the metaverse explodes.
 OtakuMegane Desu: If nothing else, it'd be nice if we could have a creator flag. One thing I dislike currently is even with full perm items you can export from SL, it can't retain the original creator.
 Richardus Raymaker: SL creators want good permissions and some DMCA / protection. that what i know for now
 Monk Zymurgy: yep..flags are a cool feature
 Penny Lane: Sure, SL creators want that. But SL creators are on drugs and completely out to lunch.
 Monk Zymurgy: and then perms can be maintainedif people handle the goods corecctly
 WhiteStar Magic: LOL POenny
 WhiteStar Magic: AGREED !
 OtakuMegane Desu: Being able to retain the creator alone might loosen up a few on SL.
 WhiteStar Magic: Too Much Pixel Crack
 Monk Zymurgy: :)
 Richardus Raymaker: yes. and how bad it sounds. i think LL need to make extra option. so creators can set it full perm but not transferable outside SL with Second Inventory
 OtakuMegane Desu: I don't mind people sharing my stuff around but it is nice if I';m at least still listed as the original maker.
 Richardus Raymaker: then you fix that problem to. if its not set you can expect its ok to use
 Monk Zymurgy: they spoke of this extra perm flag over a year ago
 Monk Zymurgy: nothing comes
 WhiteStar Magic: it's old news actually, going back quite some time
 Monk Zymurgy: yeah
 OtakuMegane Desu: Well, given SL seems to have backed away from the inter-grid ideas, that's not surprising.
 WhiteStar Magic: SL wants to remain closed
 WhiteStar Magic: and they do not really want to share
 Monk Zymurgy: i blame prokofy neva ;-)
 OtakuMegane Desu: Lol
 WhiteStar Magic: they want to sell SL to corporates for Big Bucks
 OtakuMegane Desu: Or rather the technology behind it.
 WhiteStar Magic: That is what I meant
 Penny Lane: Oh yeah, maintaining creator and owner information is great, and the vast majority of honest people will respect it. But actually physically preventing distribution is a lost cause. DRM can't work for obvious reasons, and Joe Blogs won;t buy another pair of pants from a creator once he's experienced pants loss on travel. So I think the future of the metaverse is exactly like that of the web --- 99.9% free to access.
 OtakuMegane Desu: The grid itself is a giant lab full of guinea pigs.
 OtakuMegane Desu: And, at times, seems to hold about as much value to LL. :/
 Monk Zymurgy: aye..verry little point for DRM
 Penny Lane: Those guinea pigs have unfortunately created a mindset among themselves in which everything is restricted. It won't work.
 WhiteStar Magic: really, we need better integration with teh viewer or at minimum an HGurl like SLurl
 OtakuMegane Desu: Nope
 Monk Zymurgy: but SL/OpenSim things are reasonable hard to get at already
 WhiteStar Magic: UsingOpenID / LiveID might solve some other issues
 Richardus Raymaker: DRM. bad word :P gives so many problems for simple things
 OtakuMegane Desu: DRM and limitatioins will keep the honest people honest, but they weren't the problem to begin with.
 WhiteStar Magic: Monk... I have tools that can rip anything if I so choose
 WhiteStar Magic: Others can too
 WhiteStar Magic: just depends on how techie and determined you are
 Monk Zymurgy: yeah..but not everyone has the skill/time/inclination
 OtakuMegane Desu: I don't know of any DRM or encryption scheme that hasn't been broken eventually.
 Penny Lane: You don't design for the commercial pirates, that just gets you into an arms race which you wil never win.
 Richardus Raymaker: but legal tools like SI can do it to... at least it sound legal. but yes the name get wiped
 Carissa Raynier is Offline
 WhiteStar Magic: only safe & secure system is one that is Not Turned on or plugged in
 Penny Lane: Yep
 OtakuMegane Desu: True
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 WhiteStar Magic: People freaked cause Meerkat can backup your objects
 Monk Zymurgy: sure..but if a good multi-grid id could be incorporated SI will adhere to it
 WhiteStar Magic: I have scripts that will do that
 WhiteStar Magic: SI will do that
 WhiteStar Magic: Many things will do that
 OtakuMegane Desu: So can SI and copybot
 OtakuMegane Desu: Nothing new
 WhiteStar Magic: so why the hell can't my Viewer have a simple Backup ?
 Penny Lane: Not seen anyone freak at that. If anything everyones dead glad that the FOSS crowd pulled their fingers out finally, instead of forcing everyone to pay for SI.
 Monk Zymurgy: yes..a 'save as' button for your work would be good
 WhiteStar Magic: Screw SI
 Richardus Raymaker: i know its difficuklt. and its in a fog. but protect things is almost useless. but give them free away sometimes to
 WhiteStar Magic: sorry for the ladies here
 WhiteStar Magic: but they are a PITA
 Orion Hax: the fear i think is not that stuff gets copyed, i think the fear is you build something and set it for sale on one grid only to find it for sale on 3 other grids at half the price by someone thats not you
 OtakuMegane Desu: Yeah
 WhiteStar Magic: agreed Orion
 Monk Zymurgy: this will happen i guess
 Penny Lane: SI are leaches, simple as that. Libomv did all the hard work.
 OtakuMegane Desu: Ultimately it comes down to money for many.
 OtakuMegane Desu: A lot probably don't care if their work spreads as long as they still get paid.
 WhiteStar Magic: SLmyInventory is teh base they used to do it
 WhiteStar Magic: and guess what, that works and works well too
 Richardus Raymaker: i need to say some money to pay server here would be nice. but get money in sl is more a big dream
 WhiteStar Magic: and it is FREE
 Simulator Version v0.5 shouts: OpenSim 0.6.5 (Dev) .9867 (OS Fedora release 9 (Sulphur)
 Kernel \r on an \m) ChilTasks:True PhysPrim:True
 Carissa Raynier is Online
 Monk Zymurgy: really .. people should encourage some more groups to come to OpenSim, there are many social groups in SL..and also link to already existing forums, that dont yet utilise 3d space
 Richardus Raymaker: some say clear only for ....
 Richardus Raymaker: i have pick in profile
 Richardus Raymaker: i mean some say, only for sl.
 Penny Lane: Yeah, making money in SL is a bit like making money from iPhone apps or making money as a musician on signing to a label. In all cases it's a dellusion, because for 99.9% of cases, you pay more in costs than you ever actually earn.
 Orion Hax: one thought i have is with the original creator embeded into an item is to have mabey a profile page where there shops are listed and if you see it somewhere else it dosent pass the sniff test
 WhiteStar Magic: well... for peopel to come to OS ... we need stability
 WhiteStar Magic: ease of use
 Penny Lane: Monk: people will come when it's easy to being stuff across. Starting from scratch is painful. And of course when there's stability.
 Monk Zymurgy nods
 Penny Lane: Hehe, exactly
 WhiteStar Magic: we need to have an environment where they have something to do
 Orion Hax: SL is going to become less and less inclinde to let stuff leave there network
 Monk Zymurgy: maybe at some point freeze feature in favour of work towards stability..but, we are still in infancy
 OtakuMegane Desu: And more importanly can do it in. Wihtout crashing.
 WhiteStar Magic: Someone is developing a MMORPG to go ontop of OpenSim
 OtakuMegane Desu: Or losing gravity or something.
 Monk Zymurgy: WhiteStar..that is the kind of thing we need imo
 WhiteStar Magic: yes
 WhiteStar Magic: we do
 WhiteStar Magic: but there are underlying issues
 WhiteStar Magic: for one thing
 Monk Zymurgy: i think standalone works better for this type of project..and thats where HG comes into its own
 WhiteStar Magic: Just something I have been digging into on teh side
 OtakuMegane Desu: Yeah
 OtakuMegane Desu: HG is going to play a crucial role in the future
 WhiteStar Magic: is how to change the environment, sky, water, terrains and have teh Server push it instead of it relying on teh viewer
 Penny Lane: LL have no option but to let stuff leave their network now. The reason is that they own xstreet now, and they get a commission for every sale of SI on xstreet. As a result, they can't claim that transferring items off SL is against the ToS when they are earning money from the massive sale of a tool that is used for that.
 WhiteStar Magic: Imagine a Sci-Fi Sim with Weird Planetary views, and red waters and more
 OtakuMegane Desu: Yeah. Some more control server-side for environment might be nice.
 Monk Zymurgy: maybe LL will incorporate windlight setting into the estate settings
 WhiteStar Magic: but we shoudl really consider moving Physics to teh viewer and not have teh server do it
 Monk Zymurgy: might be a bit early to build it into OS, if we will be using lindens viewer
 Penny Lane: "You can't only transfer items off SL to open grids if you use the tool that gives us a commision" is not going to stand up in court.
 Penny Lane: can*
 WhiteStar Magic: The server shoudl just be info transfer not function calculation and math
 OtakuMegane Desu: WhiteStar: There's one problem though.
 WhiteStar Magic: but LL code can;t do it
 OtakuMegane Desu: Coordinating the information for physics calculation isn't a tiny bit of data
 Richardus Raymaker: monkyz, that makes it much beter for many servers. and also makes the memory load lower i hope
 WhiteStar Magic: Every real Game System does it on Client
 WhiteStar Magic: SL does it on server
 Brent Seidel: So, what if my client and your client come up with different physics solutions?
 Orion Hax: but that also keeps the client footprint down as well when its on the server
 Monk Zymurgy nods..at the expense of accurate scenes..each client may have a different view of the scene
 WhiteStar Magic: Picture running an MRM on your server and it is doing the vehickles and executing the physicfs... no region bouandaries if all regions are on same server
 Penny Lane: WhiteStar: devolve physics computations to the viewer, yes, just as a way to harness client power. But the region has to be in ultimate charge, since a sim represents a single physical simulation.
 Monk Zymurgy: or thats how i saw it in online games
 paulie Flomar: It would have to be some version of "physics at home" (like folding at home) where clients can help crunch physics data and send ti to the server. The server would have final say.
 OtakuMegane Desu: Most game systems just have to coordinate the location of objects. This would be closer to playing say Street Fighter online. The latency and bandwidth needed for coordinating so much information at high speeds could mkae it horrible.
 paulie Flomar: yeah.
 WhiteStar Magic: and it's good now ?
 Penny Lane: Can't have one client decide there's been a collision with another, when that other says otherwise. The sim has to be authoritative in that
 WhiteStar Magic: There has to be a server control module yes
 WhiteStar Magic: and 2 way traffic
 WhiteStar Magic: coordinator
 OtakuMegane Desu: No, but at present levels distributing the full physics systemn would be even worse.
 Orion Hax: it would be a disaster
 paulie Flomar: this video (of dirt racing) is kewl. :)
 OtakuMegane Desu: There may be some parts of the physics calculations that could be offloaded to clients. But most is still going to have to be on the server.
 Penny Lane: Not all a disaster. Only some aspects of physics have high realtime requirements.
 WhiteStar Magic: agreed
 WhiteStar Magic: but there is better ways to split the load and response
 OtakuMegane Desu: True
 WhiteStar Magic: and take some of the stuff off teh server
 Orion Hax: i think a better idea would be to make use of a server side GFX card
 OtakuMegane Desu: Other things like working on asset distribution would help for server load too.
 WhiteStar Magic: but we come back to being dependent on teh LL Viewer base "for now"
 OtakuMegane Desu: Everything goes through the region then to the client right now, correct?
 WhiteStar Magic: yep
 WhiteStar Magic: pretty much
 OtakuMegane Desu: See, that's...silly when you think about it.
 WhiteStar Magic: it's a choike point
 OtakuMegane Desu: Why not download assets direct from grid to client and the regions simply tells the client where things go?
 Penny Lane: Yep, it's gotta be done. SL's sims are not scalable because they don't attempt any parallelism or devolving computations, and that's how LL wants it, because they sell more sims. But Opensim doesn't want to go there --- we need scalable sim technology.
 paulie Flomar: client P2P? :)
 WhiteStar Magic: agredd 125% Penny
 WhiteStar Magic: There are good working P2P models now
 WhiteStar Magic: even Solaris can kick butt and do more
 WhiteStar Magic: and it is P2P
 WhiteStar Magic: but it has major limits we don;t
 Penny Lane: Is anyone running Opensim on OpenSolaris?
 OtakuMegane Desu: Example: You have a box with a texture. The region tell the client the box's parameters and the UUID of the texture and that's that. The client then does the rest of the work downloading things from the gird's asset server.
 Penny Lane: Heh, I don't actually know if Mono runs on OpenSolaris
 OtakuMegane Desu: grid*
 Penny Lane: Otaku: yeah, that's the Cable Beach model
 WhiteStar Magic: http://www.solipsis.org/
 paulie Flomar: even LL is moving to textures over HTTP, probably from various sources...
 WhiteStar Magic: is what I meant ,.... no solaris
 Penny Lane: I know Solipsis, Jesrad told us about it on MMOX
 Richardus Raymaker: how long can the keep things save if the start already to download textures frome verywhere
 WhiteStar Magic: Worlds and several other platdforms pull textures from teh web
 WhiteStar Magic: wow Major Chat Lag
 OtakuMegane Desu: I think you have it right for why LL designed things the way they did, Penny. And possibly some degree of laziness just like originally storing everything as blobs in the database.
 Penny Lane: Richardus: keeping things safe and scaling the metaverse aren't on the same game plan :P
 Penny Lane: Is Wright about to take a dive?
 Orion Hax: most likely
 WhiteStar Magic: wasn't it about a year, yr & a half ao the opic of stuffing a lot of assets on HTTP servers and setting keys for access to peopel started ?
 Richardus Raymaker: ilooks like
 OtakuMegane Desu: I wonder...if you took the region out of the constant stream of asset data, how many avatars might you be able to support, then?
 OtakuMegane Desu: Proibably
 Penny Lane: Otaku: certainly a lot more!
 WhiteStar Magic: likely a lot mnore
 WhiteStar Magic: NZ is testing an idea with his collectiosn of regions by splitting out the MySql DBS
 Orion Hax: my thought would be to use amazon cloud as a service and people pay for however much storage they use
 Penny Lane: Why the poor little non-scalable sim CPU is dealing with asset downloads, running scripts, and vicinity chat and IM is anybody's guess. Designer on drugs? ;-)
 Penny Lane: Or LL just wants to sell more sims ...
 Orion Hax: or both
 Penny Lane: Heh
 WhiteStar Magic: on cheap, lame hardware that doesn;t work
 OtakuMegane Desu: Lag letting up a bit?
 Penny Lane: Yeah, we'll probably be meeting up in LBSA shortly
 OtakuMegane Desu: Until we manage to lag it into obblivion too. Then it's on to Zaius! Hahaha
 WhiteStar Magic: I think... Honestly, splitting teh MySql System to another Server on it;'s own, allowing access to OpenSim Servers via a backbone Ethernt would certainly improve the capability
 Richardus Raymaker: -
 Richardus Raymaker: if LL want to sell more sims, then simple solution is to drop the price and tier with 50%
 OtakuMegane Desu: I'm thinking the core structure of asset delivery and region coordination is going to have to change eventually. A lot.
 Richardus Raymaker: and think more to customers
 Penny Lane: A sim crawl. It's like a pub crawl where you drink every pub dry, but in this case you consume all the sim resources until they crash, and head for the next one :P
 WhiteStar Magic: Have you looked at Land for Sale in SL lately ?
 Orion Hax: back to physics can we have a set of server side GFX cards process the massive amount of calculations instead of trying to divy it up
 OtakuMegane Desu: Not gonna be easy though
 Richardus Raymaker: must be posisble. not sure if works for linux. i know for windows its possible.
 nurbsPlane9: DynamicTextureModule: Error preparing image using URL http://grid.bubblecloud.org/~osoperator/osgrid_central_osgrid.jpg
 OtakuMegane Desu: Orion: That WOULD be immensely helpful. Especially since a graphics card on a remote server would usually have nothing else to do.
 OtakuMegane Desu: It's certainly possible. But there's not been large enough interest till more recently.
 Orion Hax: the reason i ask is nvidias new toy the tesla computational card
 Orion Hax: some 960 stream processors
 OtakuMegane Desu: Nice
 WhiteStar Magic: but the data still has to be pushed down the wire to the client to run it there
 OtakuMegane Desu: If you could utilize a graphic card for physics though, that'd give vast amounts of headroom compared to what we have now
 Richardus Raymaker: test
 Penny Lane: Instead of buying a hot graphics card for the sim, buy a PS3. Those SPUs are extremely fast, and really wiped the floor on Folding@Home with all other clients. Physics calculation would be ideally suited.
 OtakuMegane Desu: Spend a couple hundred to stick a 4850 in a server rather than a couple thousand buying a second one to handle the CPU loads.
 Richardus Raymaker: dont tell me 4-20Mbit down is not enough ?
 Monk Zymurgy: ps3 runs linux .. would be an interesting project
 Richardus Raymaker: upload. uhmm. opensim at home is anyway not so good
 OtakuMegane Desu: You need to assume about 1mbps per avatar to be safe.
 Penny Lane: Monk: just the physics, not Opensim --- not enough memory for Mono on PS3
 Orion Hax: that was my thought is its not any one process hoseing the system its a 1000 little ones
 WhiteStar Magic: the code is getting less and less performant
 OtakuMegane Desu: Yeah
 Monk Zymurgy: ah..has anyone tried to run a client on ps3..i want to try
 OtakuMegane Desu: Tat's something we need to keep an eye on. Opensim development has become freature-creeping lately rather than optimizing what we have.
 Monk Zymurgy nods
 Penny Lane: Not enough memory, nor is there access to the GPU on PS3
 Monk Zymurgy: aww
 WhiteStar Magic: I've been noticing it and so have manyothersthat things are slowing down and getting fatter
 Monk Zymurgy: maybe i will not try then
 OtakuMegane Desu: It actually seems LESS robust than it was. Used to be we were pushing 30+ avatars on this meeting but now it's having trouble in the 20s again
 WhiteStar Magic: there ae issues on this and LBSA regions
 OtakuMegane Desu: The problem with consoles is they actually tend to be very skimpy on RAM.
 Richardus Raymaker: and thats the cheapest part.
 Richardus Raymaker: whats in a console this days ? 512MB ? 2 GB ?
 Monk Zymurgy: not sure richardus..i just had a little fun setting up yellow dog linux on a friends ps3
 Monk Zymurgy: good meeting..but i must run..take care and see you all around :)
 WhiteStar Magic: see ya Monkz
 Brent Seidel: Bye monk
 Richardus Raymaker: bye monks
 WhiteStar Magic: gonna head out to
 WhiteStar Magic: have a good one everuyone
 Brent Seidel: Bye WhiteStar

Installing and Running Hypergrid

2010-09-11T06:46:42Z

Marck: /* Checking the 4096 Regions Limit */

{{Quicklinks}}

== Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode ==
The setup for hypergrid differs depending on whether you run OpenSim as a standalone or as a grid. There also came considerable changes with version 0.7. If you are using an older version 0.6.x of OpenSimulator, then refer to [[Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x]] further down this page.

== Configuration ==
In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000. For more information, see [[Network Settings]].

=== Standalone ===
The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"</source>

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in sections [LoginService] and [GatekeeperService] must be changed to your external network address:
<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:9000"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:9000"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:
<source lang="ini">[Network]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
http_listener_port = 9000
</source>

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See [[#Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone]].

=== Grid ===
To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured approprietly.

==== Robust Server ====
The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:8002"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:8002"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:8002"
</source>

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter ''''ServiceConnectors'''' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:
Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini
Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):
mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

==== Simulator ====
The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"
</source>

=== Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone ===
Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:
<source lang="ini">[Region One]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalHostName = "example.com"
</source>

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.

== Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x ==

=== Installing ===

Checkout OpenSim, prebuild and build as normal or Download and install Binary Packages from the [[Main Page|MAIN Page ]] If you're running your opensim in '''Grid Mode''' mode with servers on other machines, you only need to modify your OpenSim.ini to enable HyperGrid.

If you're running in standalone and you want it to be network-able, or if you have your grid on loopback (127.0.0.1) change all the [Network] server addresses to. See below.

=== EXAMPLE Network Sections ===

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Stand Alone: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Grided Server: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:8001"
grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:8002"
user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:8006"</source>

==== Network Settings for OSGrid Attched Servers: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000
grid_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8001" ;default 8003
grid_send_key = "1234"
grid_recv_key = "1234"

user_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8002"
user_send_key = "1234"
user_recv_key = "1234"

asset_server_url = "http://assets.osgrid.org:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8004" ;default 8003
messaging_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8006"</source>

==== Modifications needed to be applied to OpenSim.ini to enable Hypergrid ====

- Change the following line at the top of the OpenSim.ini
<pre>hypergrid = false to true</pre>
- NEXT, Add or Modify the ### WORLD MAP Section as shown

<source lang="ini">; ##
; ## WORLD MAP
; ##

WorldMapModule = "WorldMap"
MapImageModule = "MapImageModule"
WorldMapModule = "HGWorldMapModule" ;NOT INCLUDED IN DEFAULT OpenSim.ini.EXAMPLE</source>

''Information: HGWorldMapModule will, after teleporting to another grid, clean up tiles in your map left over from the grid on which you were previously.''

- NEXT, Modify the [Archictecture] Section at the bottom

Uncomment the appropriate Include-HG* = line by removing the semi colon and making sure that is the only ONE uncommented. (example shows for a Stand Alone HG enabled installation)

<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini" ; DEFAULT UNCOMMENTED
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"</source> 

Your OpenSimulator instance should now be ready for inbound & outbound Hypergrid use

== The 4096 Regions Limit ==
Due to a viewer issue, teleports to destinations that are more than 4096 regions away in any direction will not work as expected. Most viewers will do the teleport but the destination region will not be rendered and thus remain invisible to you. What this means in practice is that if you wish to teleport from a region located at cell coordinates (1000, 1000) you cannot go beyond (5095, 5095). To reach destinations that are placed at farer locations, you should either place your own region closer to the destination, or use some intermediate region that is reachable from both your region and the destination region.

Refer to [[Public Hypergrid Nodes]] to see some known grids and standalones and where they are located.

== Important Notes ==
Make sure you have a 'home' set. If your home region doesn't exist, the hyperlink TPs may not work. To set your home, go to one of your local regions and "Set Home" from the viewer.

To Enable scripted Teleporting between regions, standalone, HyperGrid etc, you can use osTeleportAgent function, Example here: [[OsTeleportAgent|OsTeleportAgent]]

== Linking regions (Optional) ==

=== Method 1 ===

On the console, type for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent. replace osl2.nac.uci.edu and 9006 with the domain name / ip address and the http_listener_port of the simulator where the region is running you want to link to.
You can link to a specific region within an instance, by using the name of the region at the end, for example:
<pre>link-region 997 997 osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006:UCI Welcome</pre>

=== Method 2 ===

There is also some initial support for reading the links from a xml file.

Use the console command: link-region <URI> [<excludeList>]

The uri can be either the path of a local xml file or a xml document on a http server.

The format of the xml file is:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
<Key Name="real-xloc" Value="10222"/> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
<Key Name="real-yloc" Value="10265" /> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini></source>

[Note] The section names can be anything you want, but they all should be different and have no spaces in the name.

==== ExcludeList: ====

The exclude list is a single string paramater with the format: excludeList:<SectionName>[;<SectionName>]

This means that while reading from the xml file any sections that are listed in the excludeList will be ignored and no HyperGrid link created for them.

This could allow, link lists to be created on a webserver that everyone could add their own regions to, and then they just make sure they add their own section name(s) to the exclude list on their own region(s).

So for example, someone might create a editable online list for the up coming OpenSimulator's 2nd birthday. Which might look something like:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="OSGrid-Party">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="UCIGrid-Party">
...
</Section>
</Nini></source> I could then add my own region to the list with the section name "MW-Party". Then when I startup that region that I want to be part of this hypergrid, I use the command:
<pre>"link-region <URI of xml file> excludeList:MW-Party"</pre>
This is so that my region doesn't try to create a hyper link to itself.

=== Method 3 (dynamic) ===

Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and probably more). All you need to know is the target address, e.g. from the list below.

1) Type for example secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ in the chat box, pull up the chat history and click on that link

2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007

3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007'''/ (there's one up at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)

Again, you can link to a specific region within an instance by adding the name of that region at the end, like this: '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007:Gateway 7000/'''

=== Checking the 4096 Regions Limit ===
Due to the [[Installing and Running Hypergrid#The 4096 Regions Limit|4096 Regions Limit]], there is a check in OpenSimulator since version 0.7.0.1 which verifies that the intended link will be within reach of any of your regions. If none of the regions in your grid or standalone is located within a distance radius of 4096 regions from the region to be linked, then the link will be rejected. You can disable this check in StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones) or Robust.HG.ini (for grids) with
<source lang="ini">[GridService]
Check4096 = false</source>

=== Persistent Linked Regions ===
With grid mode, methods 1 and 2 will work on both the Robust console and the region console. On the region console, linked regions will not be stored in the database and will vanish when the region is shut down. Regions that are linked on the Robust console will be persistent over restarts until they are explicitly removed with unlink-region.

== Listing linked regions ==

To see a list of all linked regions, use the following command on the console (available since 0.7.1 r/13457, also in 0.7-post-fixes):
<pre>show hyperlinks</pre>

== Unlinking regions ==

On the console, type for example:
<pre>unlink-region osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
or
<pre>unlink-region <local region name></pre>

Please note that region names can only have a maximum length of 32 characters when using MySQL as a database. If a linked region has a longer name, it will be truncated. The unlink-region command will only find a region, if the name is also truncated to a maximum length of 32 characters.

==About==
The REST console makes remote administration of the various OpenSim services possible.

The interface allows sending commands to the server and retrieving command output. Sending and receiving data is done through RESTful HTTP calls.

While sending is very straightforward, receiving is not. Receiving uses reverse HTTP, performing a long poll to a CAPS URI.

In order to make the protocol more efficient, the help functionality has been pushed to the client side. Rather than sending each keystroke to the server, only validated command lines are sent. To make this possible, the server sends a "connect burst" of data, which is the tree of allowed commands and their help information. This can be used by the client to create the "help" command output locally as well as provide command line help interactively.

The sample console client, OpenSim.ConsoleClient.exe, shows how this is done.

==Syntax==
We take the user service (<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002</nowiki>) as example here. Start up the user service with:
mono OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe -console rest

First start a new session by sending a HTTP POST request. User name and password should match the settings for <tt>ConsoleUser</tt> and <tt>ConsolePass</tt> in section <tt>[Network]</tt> of OpenSim.ini. 
Parameters: USER, PASS
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/StartSession/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><SessionID></SessionID><Prompt></Prompt></ConsoleSession>

Now we got the SessionID, which can be used to send a command and to receive output. First, retrieve the console scrollback buffer. 
Parameters: none
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/ReadResponses/<SessionID>/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><Line Number=x></Line></ConsoleSession> 
The reply contains all lines currently in the buffer. Subsequent fetches will only retrieve new lines. The fetch will hold for up to 30 seconds if there is no data, then return an error. The client is expected to try again (polling).

Use the SessionID as ID parameter, and send a POST request again. 
Parameters: ID, COMMAND
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/SessionCommand/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><Result></Result></ConsoleSession> 
If everything went well, the command should have been executed. Try another command.

When you want to close down the connection, send a POST request again. 
Parameters: ID
<nowiki>http://foo.bar:8002/CloseSession/</nowiki>
Return: (XML) <ConsoleSession><Result></Result></ConsoleSession> 
The session is closed, and you have to log in again, when you want to send a command again.

Wifi

2010-09-01T12:51:29Z

Marck: /* Setting Configuration Parameters for a Standalone */ WifiServerConnector does NOT need to be set for standalones

'''Wifi - A Simple Account Management Front-end'''

"Wifi" stands for "Web Interface For... I" and is an '''add-on''' module that '''IS NOT IN THE CORE''' of OpenSim. It is provided by Diva Canto and can be added to OpenSim 0.7 onwards. Please do not ask the core OpenSim team for support.

== Introduction ==

Initial information is available from http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/?p=37 and is taken here pretty much verbatim for now...

Wifi provides an embedded Web application for handling user registrations. Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers. It's features include:

* Account creation, optionally controlled by the administrator
* Configurable default avatars for new accounts
* Account updates by both users and administrator
* Account deletion by administrator
* Password recovery via email
* Simple user inventory management
* Welcome page which can be used as viewer -loginpage

Wifi has a few interesting properties that make it a good fit for small-to-medium OpenSimulator-based virtual worlds.

* First of all, it doesn’t require the installation of Apache or other Web servers; it’s all done within the OpenSimulator code base.
* Second, using the OpenSimulator code base brings many technical benefits. This isn’t an immediate benefit, but it is a benefit in the long run. Unlike the Apache-based Web apps that interface with the DB directly, Wifi interfaces with the OpenSimulator services layer using the core code, and therefore it is isolated from future changes to the OpenSimulator DB schema.
* Third, technically, Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers.

== Diva Distribution ==

[[Image:Diva-Tagus-Wifi-Example-v2.jpg|500px|right|Example Wifi Entry Page]]

Wifi is included and enabled by default in the Diva Distribution:

* Documentation: http://wiki.github.com/diva/d2/wifi
* Blog Description: http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/
* Downloads and binary distribution: http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
* Source Code: http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/
 

== Adding Wifi to your OpenSim Setup ==

'''Additions to Standard OpenSim Distribution (from 0.7 onwards)'''

=== Binary Approach ===

Obtain the latest Wifi module distribution zip from
http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
and place the files as instructed in the equivalent locations in your OpenSim directory.

bin directory
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.dll
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.ScriptEngine.dll
* add bin/Diva.OpenSimServices.dll
* for standalones, also add bin/Diva.Modules.dll

Copy WifiPages directory and its contents to OpenSim top level directory.

doc directory
* add in doc/WIFI.txt

Copy over the WIFI releated readme, release notes and licence.

For grids, edit Robust(.HG).ini in section [Startup] to add 8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector to <code>ServiceConnectors</code>.

For standalones, edit StandaloneCommon.ini in section [Modules] to add <code>WifiModule = true</code>.

Add a new section [WifiService] from example at http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example to Robust(.HG).ini (for grids) or StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones).

=== Source Code Approach ===

Get Diva Distribution which contains the Wifi modules from
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/

== Setting Configuration Parameters for a Grid ==

The complete example file is here:
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example

</source>

== Configurable Default Avatars ==

When users sign up, they can choose between 3 avatars: male, female and neutral. It's up to you to decide what these 3 default avatars loolike. Here is how you can configure them... Once your OpenSim is up and running, create 3 accounts (using Wifi) with the following names:
* Male Avatar
* Female Avatar
* Neutral Avatar

Then login to the world under each of those accounts, and set their appearances however you like. You can add prim attachments.

[[Image:Openvue-avatars-male-female-neutral-2010-08-27.jpg|Example Avatars]]

== Problems with HTTP ports ==

The port used for the Wifi HTTP service is configurable. Usually this will be 8002 for a grid and 9000 for a standalone unless you use custom ports.

For a standalone you can do this by adding the "port" line for the port to use for Wifi and other services to the [Network] section of OpenSim.ini

<source lang="ini">[Network]
port = 9000
</source>

Or for a grid specify a specific port (usually 8002) for the WifiServiceConnector in the ServiceConnectors list in the [Startup] section of Robust(.HG).ini

<source lang="ini">[Startup]
ServiceConnectors="............,8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector"
</source>

In either case, define the equivalent WebAddress in the [WifiService] section of your StandaloneCommon.ini or Robust(.HG).ini (or addon-modules/Wifi/config/Wifi.ini if used in future).

<source lang="ini">[WifiService]
WebAddress = "http://hostname:8002"
</source>

If you do not use the usual OpenSim service ports, please note that some network setups and ISPs will not allow HTTP to be served on port 80. It is usual to use an alternative port such as 8080 or a custom port in that case.

== Wifi URLs When Operational ==

* Sample grid: <nowiki>http://yourgridhostname:8002/wifi</nowiki>
* Sample standalone: <nowiki>http://yourstandalonehostname:9000/wifi</nowiki>
* Local standalone: <nowiki>http://localhost:9000/wifi</nowiki>

'''Examples'''

* Diva Tagus Test World (temporary August 2010): http://tagus.ics.uci.edu:9000/wifi

== Wifi Administrator Functions ==

=== Manage Users ===

If authorisation is set to be on, you will receive an e-mail to the nominated admin account e-mail address if a user requests a new account and avatar creation. You can activate or delete new user creation requests. Users are notified of the activation via an e-mail to their nominated address.

You can also search for users and change their details. Give a space as a search term to select all avatars. Available are fields for "Level", "Flags" and "Title".
* Level = 0 is a normal user
* Level = 100 is a Wifi admin account user

You can manually reset a user's password by typiing into the password box and the nhitting the "Reset" button. Note that the user is '''NOT''' infromed of this password reset, so you must manually contact the user to communicate such a password change.

Note that the Wifi admin username/avatar is set in the Wifi configuration, and can be changed there. BUT.. '''once an admin always an admin'''. Well almost. If you change from one admin to another, the previous avatar still has administrator rights. You can remove Wifi administrator rights from an avatar by changing the "Level" of the user from 100 to 0 using the Manage Users facility in Wifi.

'''Wifi - A Simple Account Management Front-end'''

"Wifi" stands for "Web Interface For... I" and is an '''add-on''' module that '''IS NOT IN THE CORE''' of OpenSim. It is provided by Diva Canto and can be added to OpenSim 0.7 onwards. Please do not ask the core OpenSim team for support.

== Introduction ==

Initial information is available from http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/?p=37 and is taken here pretty much verbatim for now...

Wifi provides an embedded Web application for handling user registrations. Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers. It's features include:

* Account creation, optionally controlled by the administrator
* Configurable default avatars for new accounts
* Account updates by both users and administrator
* Account deletion by administrator
* Password recovery via email
* Simple user inventory management
* Welcome page which can be used as viewer -loginpage

Wifi has a few interesting properties that make it a good fit for small-to-medium OpenSimulator-based virtual worlds.

* First of all, it doesn’t require the installation of Apache or other Web servers; it’s all done within the OpenSimulator code base.
* Second, using the OpenSimulator code base brings many technical benefits. This isn’t an immediate benefit, but it is a benefit in the long run. Unlike the Apache-based Web apps that interface with the DB directly, Wifi interfaces with the OpenSimulator services layer using the core code, and therefore it is isolated from future changes to the OpenSimulator DB schema.
* Third, technically, Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers.

== Diva Distribution ==

[[Image:Diva-Tagus-Wifi-Example.jpg|400px|right|Example Wifi Entry Page]]

Wifi is included and enabled by default in the Diva Distribution:

* Documentation: http://wiki.github.com/diva/d2/wifi
* Blog Description: http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/
* Downloads and binary distribution: http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
* Source Code: http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/
 
== Adding Wifi to your OpenSim Setup ==

'''Additions to Standard OpenSim Distribution (from 0.7 onwards)'''

=== Binary Approach ===

Obtain the latest Wifi module distribution zip from
http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
and place the files as instructed in the equivalent locations in your OpenSim directory.

bin directory
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.dll
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.ScriptEngine.dll
* add bin/Diva.OpenSimServices.dll
* for standalones, also add bin/Diva.Modules.dll

Copy WifiPages directory and its contents to OpenSim top level directory.

doc directory
* add in doc/WIFI.txt

Copy over the WIFI releated readme, release notes and licence.

For grids, edit Robust(.HG).ini in section [Startup] to add 8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector to <code>ServiceConnectors</code>.

For standalones, edit StandaloneCommon.ini in section [Modules] to add <code>WifiModule = true</code>.

Add a new section [WifiService] from example at http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example to Robust(.HG).ini (for grids) or StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones).

=== Source Code Approach ===

Get Diva Distribution which contains the Wifi modules from
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/

== Setting Configuration Parameters ==

The complete example file is here:
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example

'''Additions to Robust.ini or Robust.HG.ini for Grids'''

<source lang="ini">[Startup]
ServiceConnectors = "8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector"

</source>

If you do not use the usual OpenSim service ports, please note that some network setups and ISPs will not allow HTTP to be served on port 80. It is usual to use an alternative port such as 8080 or a custom port in that case.

Marck: /* Current OSSL Functions Implemented */ Added reference to Threat levels

__NOTOC__ {{Template:Quicklinks}} [[Technical Reference|Technical Reference]] -> [[Technical Reference/terms|Terms]] -> [[Status|Status Page]] -> [[OSSL_Implemented|OSSL Implemented Functions]]

 {{content}}

== Current OSSL Functions Implemented ==

Updated July.29.2010 From Source. 78 osFunctions available.

Special Note:   Some Functions as shown use '''"double"''' as a Value instead of '''"float" '''these vary for purposes of accuracy as shown Below. 

(Float is short for "floating point", and just means a number with a point something on the end.)

The difference between the two is in the size of the numbers that they can hold. For float, you can have up to 7 digits in your number. For doubles, you can have up to 16 digits. To be more precise, here's the official size: ( float: 1.5 × 10-45 to 3.4 × 1038 ) ( double: 5.0 × 10-324 to 1.7 × 10308 )

Each of these functions has an threat level associated to it. See [[Threat level]] for more information and an overview of each function's level.

Installing and Running Hypergrid

2010-08-17T11:45:16Z

Marck: /* Configuration */ Added link to Network Settings page

{{Quicklinks}}

== Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode ==
The setup for hypergrid differs depending on whether you run OpenSim as a standalone or as a grid. There also came considerable changes with version 0.7. If you are using an older version 0.6.x of OpenSimulator, then refer to [[Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x]] further down this page.

== Configuration ==
In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000. For more information, see [[Network Settings]].

=== Standalone ===
The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"</source>

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in sections [LoginService] and [GatekeeperService] must be changed to your external network address:
<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:9000"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:9000"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:
<source lang="ini">[Network]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
http_listener_port = 9000
</source>

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See [[#Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone]].

=== Grid ===
To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured approprietly.

==== Robust Server ====
The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:8002"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:8002"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:8002"
</source>

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter ''''ServiceConnectors'''' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:
Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini
Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):
mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

==== Simulator ====
The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"
</source>

=== Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone ===
Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:
<source lang="ini">[Region One]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalHostName = "example.com"
</source>

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.

== Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x ==

=== Installing ===

Checkout OpenSim, prebuild and build as normal or Download and install Binary Packages from the [[Main Page|MAIN Page ]] If you're running your opensim in '''Grid Mode''' mode with servers on other machines, you only need to modify your OpenSim.ini to enable HyperGrid.

If you're running in standalone and you want it to be network-able, or if you have your grid on loopback (127.0.0.1) change all the [Network] server addresses to. See below.

=== EXAMPLE Network Sections ===

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Stand Alone: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Grided Server: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:8001"
grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:8002"

http_listener_port = 9000
grid_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8001" ;default 8003
grid_send_key = "1234"

inventory_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8004" ;default 8003
messaging_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8006"</source>

==== Modifications needed to be applied to OpenSim.ini to enable Hypergrid ====

- Change the following line at the top of the OpenSim.ini
<pre>hypergrid = false to true</pre>
- NEXT, Add or Modify the ### WORLD MAP Section as shown

<source lang="ini">; ##
; ## WORLD MAP
; ##

WorldMapModule = "WorldMap"
MapImageModule = "MapImageModule"
WorldMapModule = "HGWorldMapModule" ;NOT INCLUDED IN DEFAULT OpenSim.ini.EXAMPLE</source>

''Information: HGWorldMapModule will, after teleporting to another grid, clean up tiles in your map left over from the grid on which you were previously.''

- NEXT, Modify the [Archictecture] Section at the bottom

Uncomment the appropriate Include-HG* = line by removing the semi colon and making sure that is the only ONE uncommented. (example shows for a Stand Alone HG enabled installation)

<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini" ; DEFAULT UNCOMMENTED
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"</source> 

Your OpenSimulator instance should now be ready for inbound & outbound Hypergrid use

== The 4096 Regions Limit ==
Due to a viewer issue, teleports to destinations that are more than 4096 regions away in any direction will not work as expected. Most viewers will do the teleport but the destination region will not be rendered and thus remain invisible to you. What this means in practice is that if you wish to teleport from a region located at cell coordinates (1000, 1000) you cannot go beyond (5095, 5095). To reach destinations that are placed at farer locations, you should either place your own region closer to the destination, or use some intermediate region that is reachable from both your region and the destination region.

Refer to [[Public Hypergrid Nodes]] to see some known grids and standalones and where they are located.

== Important Notes ==
Make sure you have a 'home' set. If your home region doesn't exist, the hyperlink TPs may not work. To set your home, go to one of your local regions and "Set Home" from the viewer.

To Enable scripted Teleporting between regions, standalone, HyperGrid etc, you can use osTeleprotAgent function, Example here: [[OsTeleportAgent|OsTeleportAgent]]

== Linking regions (Optional) ==

=== Method 1 ===

On the console, type for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent. replace osl2.nac.uci.edu and 9006 with the domain name / ip address and the http_listener_port of the simulator where the region is running you want to link to.
You can link to a specific region within an instance, by using the name of the region at the end, for example:
<pre>link-region 997 997 osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006:UCI Welcome</pre>

=== Method 2 ===

There is also some initial support for reading the links from a xml file.

Use the console command: link-region <URI> [<excludeList>]

The uri can be either the path of a local xml file or a xml document on a http server.

The format of the xml file is:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
<Key Name="real-xloc" Value="10222"/> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
<Key Name="real-yloc" Value="10265" /> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini></source>

[Note] The section names can be anything you want, but they all should be different and have no spaces in the name.

==== ExcludeList: ====

The exclude list is a single string paramater with the format: excludeList:<SectionName>[;<SectionName>]

This means that while reading from the xml file any sections that are listed in the excludeList will be ignored and no HyperGrid link created for them.

This could allow, link lists to be created on a webserver that everyone could add their own regions to, and then they just make sure they add their own section name(s) to the exclude list on their own region(s).

So for example, someone might create a editable online list for the up coming OpenSimulator's 2nd birthday. Which might look something like:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="OSGrid-Party">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="UCIGrid-Party">
...
</Section>
</Nini></source> I could then add my own region to the list with the section name "MW-Party". Then when I startup that region that I want to be part of this hypergrid, I use the command:
<pre>"link-region <URI of xml file> excludeList:MW-Party"</pre>
This is so that my region doesn't try to create a hyper link to itself.

=== Method 3 (dynamic) ===

Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and probably more). All you need to know is the target address, e.g. from the list below.

1) Type for example secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ in the chat box, pull up the chat history and click on that link

2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007

3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007'''/ (there's one up at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)

Again, you can link to a specific region within an instance by adding the name of that region at the end, like this: '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007:Gateway 7000/'''

=== Checking the 4096 Regions Limit ===
Due to the [[Installing and Running Hypergrid#The 4096 Regions Limit|4096 Regions Limit]], there is a check in OpenSimulator since version 0.7.0.1 which verifies that the intended link will be within reach of one of your regions. If none of the regions in your grid or standalone is located within a distance radius of 4096 regions from the region to be linked, then the link will be rejected. You can disable this check in StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones) or Robust.HG.ini (for grids) with
[GridService]
Check4096 = false

=== Persistent Linked Regions ===
With grid mode, methods 1 and 2 will work on both the Robust console and the region console. On the region console, linked regions will not be stored in the database and will vanish when the region is shut down. Regions that are linked on the Robust console will be persistent over restarts until they are explicitly removed with unlink-region.

== Listing linked regions ==

To see a list of all linked regions, use the following command on the console (available since 0.7.1 r/13457, also in 0.7-post-fixes):
<pre>show hyperlinks</pre>

== Unlinking regions ==

On the console, type for example:
<pre>unlink-region osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
or
<pre>unlink-region <local region name></pre>

Please note that region names can only have a maximum length of 32 characters when using MySQL as a database. If a linked region has a longer name, it will be truncated. The unlink-region command will only find a region, if the name is also truncated to a maximum length of 32 characters.

0.7.0.1 Release

2010-08-17T11:02:50Z

Marck: /* Configuration Changes */ Added explanatory link to for Check4096

=Release Notes=

This is a minor bug-fixing release for 0.7.

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.7, make sure to read the [[0.7 Release]] notes. There have been extensive changes in OpenSimulator from 0.6.x to 0.7.

==Changes from 0.7==

* Changed the way HG client verification is done: now transforming local and LAN client IPs into external IPs. This addresses some issues related to running both the user agents service and the viewer in the same machine/LAN, which then presents a problem when the user agent goes to an external network.
* Fixed remote calls within Robust for HG.
* Implemented console command "show hyperlinks"
* Improved the 4096 check for grids
* Made the 4096 check configurable
* Fixed a nasty bug in the http server related to Accept headers. Doesn't really fix the underlying issue, this is just a hack on the code over which we have control upon
* Small fix for child prim movement. This still doesn't address limiting link distance, but at least it makes the UI and LSL match.
* Removed obsolete default variables from the Configger tool
* Eliminated one opportunity for exceptions related to Animator part of SP
* Added "SearchURL" to the [LoginService]. Some viewers now understand this
* Enabled GridInfo service for standalones, which had been accidentally left off

==Configuration Changes==

* New config var under [UserAgentService] section: GatekeeperService. '''Requires attention from ppl running grids with Robust.HG.ini.''' Compare with new Robust.ini.example. Everyone else can ignore.
* New config var under [GridService]: Check4096. Optional. (See [[Installing and Running Hypergrid#Checking the 4096 Regions Limit]].)
* New config var under [LoginService]: SearchURL. Optional.
* New config section in StandaloneCommon.ini: [GridInfoService]. Optional.

Installing and Running Hypergrid

2010-08-17T10:58:09Z

Marck: /* Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode */

{{Quicklinks}}

== Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode ==
The setup for hypergrid differs depending on whether you run OpenSim as a standalone or as a grid. There also came considerable changes with version 0.7. If you are using an older version 0.6.x of OpenSimulator, then refer to [[Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x]] further down this page.

== Configuration ==
In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000.

=== Standalone ===
The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"</source>

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in sections [LoginService] and [GatekeeperService] must be changed to your external network address:
<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:9000"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:9000"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:
<source lang="ini">[Network]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
http_listener_port = 9000
</source>

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See [[#Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone]].

=== Grid ===
To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured approprietly.

==== Robust Server ====
The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:8002"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:8002"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:8002"
</source>

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter ''''ServiceConnectors'''' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:
Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini
Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):
mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

==== Simulator ====
The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"
</source>

=== Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone ===
Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:
<source lang="ini">[Region One]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalHostName = "example.com"
</source>

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.

== Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x ==

=== Installing ===

Checkout OpenSim, prebuild and build as normal or Download and install Binary Packages from the [[Main Page|MAIN Page ]] If you're running your opensim in '''Grid Mode''' mode with servers on other machines, you only need to modify your OpenSim.ini to enable HyperGrid.

If you're running in standalone and you want it to be network-able, or if you have your grid on loopback (127.0.0.1) change all the [Network] server addresses to. See below.

''Information: HGWorldMapModule will, after teleporting to another grid, clean up tiles in your map left over from the grid on which you were previously.''

- NEXT, Modify the [Archictecture] Section at the bottom

Uncomment the appropriate Include-HG* = line by removing the semi colon and making sure that is the only ONE uncommented. (example shows for a Stand Alone HG enabled installation)

To Enable scripted Teleporting between regions, standalone, HyperGrid etc, you can use osTeleprotAgent function, Example here: [[OsTeleportAgent|OsTeleportAgent]]

== Linking regions (Optional) ==

=== Method 1 ===

On the console, type for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent. replace osl2.nac.uci.edu and 9006 with the domain name / ip address and the http_listener_port of the simulator where the region is running you want to link to.
You can link to a specific region within an instance, by using the name of the region at the end, for example:
<pre>link-region 997 997 osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006:UCI Welcome</pre>

=== Method 2 ===

There is also some initial support for reading the links from a xml file.

Use the console command: link-region <URI> [<excludeList>]

The uri can be either the path of a local xml file or a xml document on a http server.

The format of the xml file is:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
<Key Name="real-xloc" Value="10222"/> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid

</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini></source>

[Note] The section names can be anything you want, but they all should be different and have no spaces in the name.

==== ExcludeList: ====

The exclude list is a single string paramater with the format: excludeList:<SectionName>[;<SectionName>]

This means that while reading from the xml file any sections that are listed in the excludeList will be ignored and no HyperGrid link created for them.

This could allow, link lists to be created on a webserver that everyone could add their own regions to, and then they just make sure they add their own section name(s) to the exclude list on their own region(s).

So for example, someone might create a editable online list for the up coming OpenSimulator's 2nd birthday. Which might look something like:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="OSGrid-Party">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="UCIGrid-Party">
...
</Section>
</Nini></source> I could then add my own region to the list with the section name "MW-Party". Then when I startup that region that I want to be part of this hypergrid, I use the command:
<pre>"link-region <URI of xml file> excludeList:MW-Party"</pre>
This is so that my region doesn't try to create a hyper link to itself.

=== Method 3 (dynamic) ===

Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and probably more). All you need to know is the target address, e.g. from the list below.

2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007

3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007'''/ (there's one up at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)

Again, you can link to a specific region within an instance by adding the name of that region at the end, like this: '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007:Gateway 7000/'''

=== Checking the 4096 Regions Limit ===
Due to the [[Installing and Running Hypergrid#The 4096 Regions Limit|4096 Regions Limit]], there is a check in OpenSimulator since version 0.7.0.1 which verifies that the intended link will be within reach of one of your regions. If none of the regions in your grid or standalone is located within a distance radius of 4096 regions from the region to be linked, then the link will be rejected. You can disable this check in StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones) or Robust.HG.ini (for grids) with
[GridService]
Check4096 = false

=== Persistent Linked Regions ===
With grid mode, methods 1 and 2 will work on both the Robust console and the region console. On the region console, linked regions will not be stored in the database and will vanish when the region is shut down. Regions that are linked on the Robust console will be persistent over restarts until they are explicitly removed with unlink-region.

== Listing linked regions ==

or
<pre>unlink-region <local region name></pre>

Please note that region names can only have a maximum length of 32 characters when using MySQL as a database. If a linked region has a longer name, it will be truncated. The unlink-region command will only find a region, if the name is also truncated to a maximum length of 32 characters.

Installing and Running Hypergrid

2010-08-17T10:54:23Z

Marck: Revised for OpenSim 0.7

{{Quicklinks}}

= Installing & Running OpenSim in Hypergrid Mode =
The configuration for hypergrid differs depending on whether OpenSim runs as a standalone or as a grid. The setup also considerably changed with version 0.7. If you are using an older version 0.6.x of OpenSimulator, then refer to [[Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x]] further down this page.

== Configuration ==
In order for OpenSimulator to be accessible in the hypergrid, you must use an externally visible IP address or domain name. You also may need to set up port forwarding for all ports (TCP and UDP) that OpenSimulator and the regions use. Typically, these are port 8002 for an installation running in grid mode and port 9000 for standalones. Regions typically use ports starting at 9000.

=== Standalone ===
The configuration for hypergrid is activated in section [Architecture] in file OpenSim.ini. Ensure that the line for Include-HGStandalone is the only one that is uncommented in this section:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"</source>

In StandaloneCommon.ini the network addresses in sections [LoginService] and [GatekeeperService] must be changed to your external network address:
<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:9000"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:9000"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:9000"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

If you want to use a different port with these addresses, then you must adjust the HTTP listener port in section [Network] in OpenSim.ini, too:
<source lang="ini">[Network]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
http_listener_port = 9000
</source>

As a last step, the regions must be configured according to the previous changes. See [[#Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone]].

=== Grid ===
To enable hypergrid for a grid, both the Robust server and the region servers (simulators) must be configured approprietly.

==== Robust Server ====
The Robust server is started with configuration file Robust.HG.ini instead of Robust.ini. If this file does not yet exist in your installation, create it by making a copy of Robust.HG.ini.example. Make the changes appropriate for your environment (e.g. adjust the database connection string). For hypergrid, the following settings are relevant:

<source lang="ini">[LoginService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
HomeURI = "http://example.com:8002"
GatekeeperURI = "http://example.com:8002"
InventoryServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"
AssetServerURI = "http://example.com:8002"

[GatekeeperService]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalName = "http://example.com:8002"
</source>

If you want to change the port(s) used with these addresses, you will also need to adjust the ports in parameter ''''ServiceConnectors'''' in section [Startup] and probably the port configured in section [Network] as well.

After these adjustments, the Robust server can be started. On Windows/.NET:
Robust -inifile=Robust.HG.ini
Or, with Mono (e.g. on Linux or OSX):
mono Robust.exe -inifile=Robust.HG.ini

==== Simulator ====
The region servers (simulators) that connect to the Robust server read their configuration from file OpenSim.ini. To activate hypergrid for them, the line for Include-HGGrid in section [Architecture] must be uncommented:
<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini"
;Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"
;Include-SimianGrid = "config-include/SimianGrid.ini"
</source>

=== Region Setup for both Grid and Standalone ===
Finally, all your regions must use the same external address that is set for GatekeeperService, for example:
<source lang="ini">[Region One]
; ... (other settings in this section) ...
ExternalHostName = "example.com"
</source>

For the ports which are used by your regions, TCP and UDP requests must be forwarded through any firewall that is securing your network.

== Configuration for OpenSimulator 0.6.x ==

=== Installing ===

Checkout OpenSim, prebuild and build as normal or Download and install Binary Packages from the [[Main Page|MAIN Page ]] If you're running your opensim in '''Grid Mode''' mode with servers on other machines, you only need to modify your OpenSim.ini to enable HyperGrid.

If you're running in standalone and you want it to be network-able, or if you have your grid on loopback (127.0.0.1) change all the [Network] server addresses to. See below.

=== EXAMPLE Network Sections ===

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Stand Alone: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"

inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:9000"</source>

==== Default Example, Network Settings for a Grided Server: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000

grid_server_url = "http://example.com:8001"
grid_send_key = null
grid_recv_key = null

user_server_url = "http://example.com:8002"
user_send_key = null
user_recv_key = null

asset_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://example.com:8003"
messaging_server_url = "http://example.com:8006"</source>

==== Network Settings for OSGrid Attched Servers: ====

<source lang="ini">[Network]
http_listener_port = 9000
grid_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8001" ;default 8003
grid_send_key = "1234"
grid_recv_key = "1234"

user_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8002"
user_send_key = "1234"
user_recv_key = "1234"

asset_server_url = "http://assets.osgrid.org:8003"
inventory_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8004" ;default 8003
messaging_server_url = "http://osgrid.org:8006"</source>

==== Modifications needed to be applied to OpenSim.ini to enable Hypergrid ====

- Change the following line at the top of the OpenSim.ini
<pre>hypergrid = false to true</pre>
- NEXT, Add or Modify the ### WORLD MAP Section as shown

<source lang="ini">; ##
; ## WORLD MAP
; ##

WorldMapModule = "WorldMap"
MapImageModule = "MapImageModule"
WorldMapModule = "HGWorldMapModule" ;NOT INCLUDED IN DEFAULT OpenSim.ini.EXAMPLE</source>

''Information: HGWorldMapModule will, after teleporting to another grid, clean up tiles in your map left over from the grid on which you were previously.''

- NEXT, Modify the [Archictecture] Section at the bottom

Uncomment the appropriate Include-HG* = line by removing the semi colon and making sure that is the only ONE uncommented. (example shows for a Stand Alone HG enabled installation)

<source lang="ini">[Architecture]
;Include-Standalone = "config-include/Standalone.ini" ; DEFAULT UNCOMMENTED
Include-HGStandalone = "config-include/StandaloneHypergrid.ini"
;Include-Grid = "config-include/Grid.ini"
;Include-HGGrid = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"</source> 

Your OpenSimulator instance should now be ready for inbound & outbound Hypergrid use

== The 4096 Regions Limit ==
Due to a viewer issue, teleports to destinations that are more than 4096 regions away in any direction will not work as expected. Most viewers will do the teleport but the destination region will not be rendered and thus remain invisible to you. What this means in practice is that if you wish to teleport from a region located at cell coordinates (1000, 1000) you cannot go beyond (5095, 5095). To reach destinations that are placed at farer locations, you should either place your own region closer to the destination, or use some intermediate region that is reachable from both your region and the destination region.

Refer to [[Public Hypergrid Nodes]] to see some known grids and standalones and where they are located.

== Important Notes ==
Make sure you have a 'home' set. If your home region doesn't exist, the hyperlink TPs may not work. To set your home, go to one of your local regions and "Set Home" from the viewer.

To Enable scripted Teleporting between regions, standalone, HyperGrid etc, you can use osTeleprotAgent function, Example here: [[OsTeleportAgent|OsTeleportAgent]]

== Linking regions (Optional) ==

=== Method 1 ===

On the console, type for example:
<pre>link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
Use Xloc and Yloc that make sense to your world, i.e. close to your regions, but not adjacent. replace osl2.nac.uci.edu and 9006 with the domain name / ip address and the http_listener_port of the simulator where the region is running you want to link to.
You can link to a specific region within an instance, by using the name of the region at the end, for example:
<pre>link-region 997 997 osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006:UCI Welcome</pre>

=== Method 2 ===

There is also some initial support for reading the links from a xml file.

Use the console command: link-region <URI> [<excludeList>]

The uri can be either the path of a local xml file or a xml document on a http server.

The format of the xml file is:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="Region1">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
<Key Name="real-xloc" Value="10222"/> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
<Key Name="real-yloc" Value="10265" /> //optional field that gives the region's real location on its home grid
</Section>
<Section Name="Region2">
...
</Section>
...
</Nini></source>

[Note] The section names can be anything you want, but they all should be different and have no spaces in the name.

==== ExcludeList: ====

The exclude list is a single string paramater with the format: excludeList:<SectionName>[;<SectionName>]

This means that while reading from the xml file any sections that are listed in the excludeList will be ignored and no HyperGrid link created for them.

This could allow, link lists to be created on a webserver that everyone could add their own regions to, and then they just make sure they add their own section name(s) to the exclude list on their own region(s).

So for example, someone might create a editable online list for the up coming OpenSimulator's 2nd birthday. Which might look something like:

<source lang="xml"><Nini>
<Section Name="OSGrid-Party">
<Key Name="xloc" Value="1002"/>
<Key Name="yloc" Value="1006" />
<Key Name="externalPort" Value="9006" />
<Key Name="externalHostName" Value="osl2.nac.uci.edu" />
<Key Name="localName" Value="OSGrid-Gateway" />
</Section>
<Section Name="UCIGrid-Party">
...
</Section>
</Nini></source> I could then add my own region to the list with the section name "MW-Party". Then when I startup that region that I want to be part of this hypergrid, I use the command:
<pre>"link-region <URI of xml file> excludeList:MW-Party"</pre>
This is so that my region doesn't try to create a hyper link to itself.

=== Method 3 (dynamic) ===

Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and probably more). All you need to know is the target address, e.g. from the list below.

1) Type for example secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ in the chat box, pull up the chat history and click on that link

2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007

3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007'''/ (there's one up at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)

Again, you can link to a specific region within an instance by adding the name of that region at the end, like this: '''secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007:Gateway 7000/'''

=== Checking the 4096 Regions Limit ===
Due to the [[Installing and Running Hypergrid#The 4096 Regions Limit|4096 Regions Limit]], there is a check in OpenSimulator since version 0.7.0.1 which verifies that the intended link will be within reach of one of your regions. If none of the regions in your grid or standalone is located within a distance radius of 4096 regions from the region to be linked, then the link will be rejected. You can disable this check in StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones) or Robust.HG.ini (for grids) with
[GridService]
Check4096 = false

=== Persistent Linked Regions ===
With grid mode, methods 1 and 2 will work on both the Robust console and the region console. On the region console, linked regions will not be stored in the database and will vanish when the region is shut down. Regions that are linked on the Robust console will be persistent over restarts until they are explicitly removed with unlink-region.

== Listing linked regions ==

To see a list of all linked regions, use the following command on the console (available since 0.7.1 r/13457, also in 0.7-post-fixes):
<pre>show hyperlinks</pre>

== Unlinking regions ==

On the console, type for example:
<pre>unlink-region osl2.nac.uci.edu:9006</pre>
or
<pre>unlink-region <local region name></pre>

Please note that region names can only have a maximum length of 32 characters when using MySQL as a database. If a linked region has a longer name, it will be truncated. The unlink-region command will only find a region, if the name is also truncated to a maximum length of 32 characters.

=== What is OpenSimulator? ===
{{Template:FrontPageSidebar}}

OpenSimulator is a 3D Application Server. It can be used to create a virtual environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on multiple protocols. OpenSimulator allows you to develop your environment using the technologies you feel work best - we've designed the software to be easily extendable through [[Getting Started with Region Modules|loadable modules]] to build completely custom configurations. OpenSimulator is released under a [[BSD License]], making it both open source, and commercially friendly to embed in products.

Out of the box, OpenSimulator can be used to simulate a virtual environment similar to Second Life™ (including client compatibility). Other environments, protocols and features are supported via add on modules. For a list of available modules check out our [http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/ forge site].

Although OpenSimulator is still considered '''alpha software''', many people are [http://planet.opensim.us doing exciting things with it].

=== Features ===
Even though OpenSimulator is relatively young software it already has many useful features
* Supports creating multiple 'worlds' in a single application instance.
* Supports multiple clients and protocols - access the same world at the same time via multiple protocols.
* Extensive ability to customize your avatar, both with custom clothing, skins, and attached objects.
* Realtime Physics Simulation, with multiple engine options including ODE.
* The ability to create content real time in the environment using in world building tools. What you see is what you get.
* In world application development using a number of different languages, including LSL/OSSL, C#, JScript and VB.NET

For a more extensive list, see the [[Feature Matrix]].

=== Using OpenSimulator ===
The fastest way to get started using OpenSimulator is to create an account on [http://osgrid.org OSGrid], then download the [http://opensim-viewer.sourceforge.net/ Hippo Viewer] or [http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php Linden Lab's Second Life viewer] (amongst others) to connect to OSGrid. This process should take no longer than 10 minutes, and will give you a flavor for what OpenSimulator is like.

You can also easily connect to any one of the many [[Grid_List|public grids]] on the internet.

Or you could [[Download]] and run a simple standalone OpenSim on your Windows, Linux or Mac desktop to create and preview content.

=== Running your own OpenSimulator ===

If you are interested in running your own OpenSimulator server, to host your own 3D environments you'll want to check out the following links:

Wifi

2010-08-15T18:52:32Z

Marck: Updated for use with standalones

'''Wifi - A Simple Account Management Front-end'''

"Wifi" stands for "Web Interface For... I" and is an '''add-on''' module that '''IS NOT IN THE CORE''' of OpenSim. It is provided by Diva Canto and can be added to OpenSim 0.7 onwards. Please do not ask the core OpenSim team for support.

== Introduction ==

Initial information is available from http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/?p=37 and is taken here pretty much verbatim for now...

Wifi provides an embedded Web application for handling user registrations. Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers. It's features include:

* Account creation, optionally controlled by the administrator
* Configurable default avatars for new accounts
* Account updates by both users and administrator
* Account deletion by administrator
* Password recovery via email
* Simple user inventory management
* Welcome page which can be used as viewer -loginpage

Wifi has a few interesting properties that make it a good fit for small-to-medium OpenSimulator-based virtual worlds.

* First of all, it doesn’t require the installation of Apache or other Web servers; it’s all done within the OpenSimulator code base.
* Second, using the OpenSimulator code base brings many technical benefits. This isn’t an immediate benefit, but it is a benefit in the long run. Unlike the Apache-based Web apps that interface with the DB directly, Wifi interfaces with the OpenSimulator services layer using the core code, and therefore it is isolated from future changes to the OpenSimulator DB schema.
* Third, technically, Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers.

== Diva Distribution ==

[[Image:Diva-Tagus-Wifi-Example.jpg|400px|right|Example Wifi Entry Page]]

Wifi is included and enabled by default in the Diva Distribution:

* Documentation: http://wiki.github.com/diva/d2/wifi
* Blog Description: http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/
* Downloads and binary distribution: http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
* Source Code: http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/
 
== Adding Wifi to your OpenSim Setup ==

'''Additions to Standard OpenSim Distribution (from 0.7 onwards)'''

=== Binary Approach ===

Obtain the latest Wifi module distribution zip from
http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads
and place the files as instructed in the equivalent locations in your OpenSim directory.

bin directory
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.dll
* add bin/Diva.Wifi.ScriptEngine.dll
* add bin/Diva.OpenSimServices.dll
* for standalones, also add bin/Diva.Modules.dll

Copy WifiPages directory and its contents to OpenSim top level directory.

doc directory
* add in doc/WIFI.txt

Copy over the WIFI releated readme, release notes and licence.

For grids, edit Robust(.HG).ini in section [Startup] to add 8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector to <code>ServiceConnectors</code>.

For standalones, edit StandaloneCommon.ini in section [Modules] to add <code>WifiModule = true</code>.

Add a new section [WifiService] from example at http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example to Robust(.HG).ini (for grids) or StandaloneCommon.ini (for standalones).

=== Source Code Approach ===

Get Diva Distribution which contains the Wifi modules from
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/

== Setting Configuration Parameters ==

The complete example file is here:
http://github.com/diva/diva-distribution/blob/master/addon-modules/Wifi/Wifi.ini.example

'''Additions to Robust.ini or Robust.HG.ini for Grids'''

[Startup]
ServiceConnectors = "8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector"

Note that it will be usual to specify the port number to be accessible outside your firewall (normally port 8002) rather than the default Network Port for internal inter-component OpenSim traffic (normally port 8003) which can be set to only be accessible within a firewall.

'''OR Additions to StandaloneCommon.ini for Standalones'''

[Modules]
WifiModule = true

'''Additions to StandaloneCommon.ini or in separate addon-modules/Wifi/config/Wifi.ini'''

[WifiService]
GridName = "grid name"
LoginURL = <nowiki>"http://<hostname>:9000"</nowiki>
WebAddress = <nowiki>"http://<hostname>:9000"</nowiki>

;; The Wifi Administrator account
AdminFirst = "Wifi"
AdminLast = "Admin"
AdminEmail = "you@example.com"

;; Do you want to be able to control grid registrations?
AccountConfirmationRequired = false

FemaleAvatarAccount = "Female Avatar"
MaleAvatarAccount = "Male Avatar"
NeutralAvatarAccount = "Neutral Avatar"

;; Variables for your mail server
;; Users will get email notifications from this account.
SmtpHost = "mail.example.com"
SmtpPort = "587"
SmtpUsername = "your_account_in_this_mail_server"
SmtpPassword = "your_password_in_this_mail_server"

== Configurable Default Avatars ==

When users sign up, they can choose between 3 avatars: male, female and neutral. It's up to you to decide what these 3 default avatars loolike. Here is how you can configure them.

Once your OpenSim is up and running, create 3 accounts (using Wifi) with the following names:
* Male Avatar
* Female Avatar
* Neutral Avatar

Then login to the world under each of those accounts, and set their appearances however you like. You can add prim attachments.

== Problems with HTTP ports ==

The port used for the Wifi HTTP service is configurable. Usually this will be 8002 for a grid and 9000 for a standalone unless you use custom ports.

For a standalone you can do this by adding the "port" line for the port to use for Wifi and other services to the [Network] section of OpenSim.ini

[Network]
port = 9000

Or for a grid specify a specific port (usually 8002) for the WifiServiceConnector in the ServiceConnectors list in the [Startup] section of Robust(.HG).ini

[Startup]
ServiceConnectors="............,8002/Diva.Wifi.dll:WifiServerConnector"

In either case, define the equivalent WebAddress in the [WifiService] section of your StandaloneCommon.ini or Robust(.HG).ini (or addon-modules/Wifi/config/Wifi.ini if used in future).

[WifiService]
WebAddress = <nowiki>"http://hostname:8002"</nowiki>

If you do not use the usual OpenSim service ports, please note that some network setups and ISPs will not allow HTTP to be served on port 80. It is usual to use an alternative port such as 8080 or a custom port in that case.

== Wifi URLs When Operational ==

* Sample grid: <nowiki>http://yourgridhostname:8002/wifi</nowiki>
* Sample standalone: <nowiki>http://yourstandalonehostname:9000/wifi</nowiki>
* Local standalone: <nowiki>http://localhost:9000/wifi</nowiki>

'''Examples'''

* Diva Tagus Test World (temporary August 2010): http://tagus.ics.uci.edu:9000/wifi

== Wifi Administrator Functions ==

=== Manage Users ===

If authorisation is set to be on, you will receive an e-mail to the nominated admin account e-mail address if users request a new account and avatar creation. You can activate or remove new user creation requests. Users are notified of the activation via an e-mail to their nominated address.

You can also search for users and change their details. Give a space as a search term to select all avatars. Available are fields for "Level", "Flags" and "Title".
* Level = 0 is a normal user
* Level = 100 is a Wifi admin account user

Note that the Wifi admin username/avatar is set in the Wifi configuration, and can be changed there. BUT.. '''once an admin always an admin'''. Well almost. If you change from one admin to another, the previous avatar still has administrator rights. You can remove Wifi administrator rights from an avatar by chnaging the "Level" of the user from 100 to 0 using the Manage Users facility in Wifi.

=== Manage Regions ===

Future functionality.
