Mark.malewski: /* Binary Packages */ Updated page to include temporary 0.7RC2 test candidate links (will remove the temporary links once 0.7.x becomes the latest stable release).

{{Template:Quicklinks}}
{{Languages}}
= Introduction =
**(please note that if you are reading this on any site but http://www.opensimulator.org that you might not be actually downloading OpenSimulator.org software please check your browser URL before proceeding any further)

'''Please note:''' Depending on what you want to do with OpenSimulator, setting it up may require a fair amount of technical knowledge. After downloading OpenSim, please consult the several instruction manuals on this Wiki and elsewhere. Please be aware that the learning curve for operating OpenSim is steep.

As OpenSim is still at an alpha code maturity stage, there is absolutely no guarantee that functionality works or is stable.

= Binary Packages =

Binary packages of the latest OpenSim release are provided in .zip or .tar.gz form - these are identical apart from the compression format. Once you've unzipped/untarred these you'll be able to run OpenSim 'out of the box' in standalone mode - no code compilation required.

The current release is '''{{LastReleaseVersion}}''' (released on {{LastReleaseDate}}) and can be downloaded at:

*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-{{LastReleaseVersion}}-binaries.tar.gz or
*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-{{LastReleaseVersion}}-binaries.zip

Further instructions can be found in README.txt after you untar/unzip the archives.

The latest '''0.7RC2''' test candidate (released on 4th July 2010) can be downloaded at:

*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.7-rc2-bin.tar.gz
*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-0.7-rc2-bin.zip

= Installers =

The OpenSim project does not currently provide installers for the latest releases - you're better off downloading the binary packages and just unzipping them - this is equivalent to an installation. However, if you do want an executable installer, here are some links to some install packages.

* '''0.6.x Mac OS X Installer '''
http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/download/frsrelease/206/706/OpenSimulator-0.6.8.dmg
http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/download/frsrelease/198/587/OpenSimulator-0.6.6-post-fixes-r9993.dmg

* '''0.6.6 (and other releases/revs) unofficial Debian and Ubuntu Linux .deb packages
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/UnofficialDebPackages

= Other Distributions =

Other projects are free to repackage OpenSim and add their own modules or configuration. Current known distributions are

* Diva Distribution, a '''Preconfigured hypergrided standalone,''' binary distribution. Easy to setup and to keep up to date. Windows and Linux/Unix. Download the file diva-rNNNN.zip, unzip it, read README.txt and take it from there.
http://github.com/diva/d2/downloads

* OSGrid distribution. This is preconfigured for connection of an OpenSim instance to http://osgrid.org.
http://www.osgrid.org/elgg/pg/utilities/software

= Source code =

If for some reason you cannot run the binary distribution, you can grab the sources and compile them. The latest source releases are always hosted at http://dist.opensimulator.org.

*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-{{LastReleaseVersion}}-source.tar.gz or
*http://dist.opensimulator.org/opensim-{{LastReleaseVersion}}-source.zip

Both these packages are the same except for the compression format.

= Previous releases =
You can find previous releases of OpenSim at http://dist.opensimulator.org. Older releases only have source code packages.

= Developers and Testers =
If you're a developer or a tester and you want to download possibly broken development code then please [http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Developer_Documentation#Source_Code_Repository_Access go here]

=Related Software=
* [[Related_Software|Related Software Section]].
* You can also find OpenSimulator modules and other projects on the [http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/ OpenSimulator Forge].

[[Definitions | Technical Reference Terms and Definitions]]

----
Definition of some common terms:

'''Region''' 
A region has an (x/y) position in a grid, and a region-handle calculated from the position. A region can also be defined as an IP Endpoint that the Viewer can establish a client connection to. The unique id of a region is a uuid, this means that a region can change position, and because of that position change, it the handle will be recalculated. The handle will uniquely identify a position in a grid.

A region contains a number of sub components:
* Scene
* Client/Viewer circuits

'''Scene''' 
A scene is part of a region, currently there is a one to one relationship, i.e. one region has one scene. A scene contains all the 3d ''objects'', called ''Entities'', entities can either be ScenePresences or SceneObjectGroups. A ScenePresence can be represented by an avatar, if it is a root scene presence. SceneObjectGroups consists of a number of SceneObjectParts.

'''Avatar/ScenePresence''' 
Each viewer is represented by one or more avatars. The Root avatar or ScenePresense functions as a kind of cursor, into the grid. Where the region will keep the viewer updated on the state of the simulation, taking place in the scene. Besides the root presence, a number of child presences will exist in the neighboring regions, enabling the viewer to know what is going on in the neighboring regions.

'''Viewer''' 
An application which is used to view the state of the simulation. Currently only three different viewers are known: the LL viewer, the OpenSL test client and AjaxLife.

'''Session''' 
Each connection between a viewer and a region, regardless if the avatar is the root or a child, is a session.

'''Simulator''' 
A program which can manage several ''Regions''

[[Technical Reference | Technical Reference]] -> [[Technical Reference/terms | Terms]] -> [[OAR_Format | OAR Format]] -> [[OAR_Format_0.2 | OAR Format 0.2]]

=What is the OAR 0.2 format?=

== Changes ==

OAR format 0.2 is identical to 0.1 except that region settings have been added

== Detail ==

At the present time, a region archive is a gzipped tar file (tar.gz) in the the original unix tar format (not USTAR). This can be extracted and created with standard tools ([http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip] on Windows). The structure of the archive is as follows

archive.xml
assets/
objects/
settings/
terrains/

=== archive.xml ===

This is the archive control file. At the moment it contains only a major and minor version number, to allow compatibility with future format changes.

=== assets/ ===

This directory contains all the assets in the archive. Each filename has the following format

<uuid>_<asset type>.<asset extension>

The ''uuid'' section must always be present and form a valid uuid - it is used directly as the uuid for that asset. The ''asset type'' and ''asset extension'' are used to identify the type of asset and the ''asset extension'' allows the asset to be associated with different editors on platforms such as Windows. For instance, a script will always have the asset type and extension script.lsl. A full list of asset types and extensions can be found in the file

OpenSim/Region/Environment/Modules/World/Archiver/ArchiveConstants.cs

in the OpenSim distribution.

=== objects/ ===

Each individual file in here is an object in the region (where an object [linkset] can be composed of many prims). The file format used is OpenSim's XML2 format. Each filename has the following structure by default

<Object name>_<x>-<y>-<z>__<uuid>.xml

Unlike asset filenames, any component of this name can be changed without affecting any attributes of the object itself - this information is taken from the xml instead. Indeed, this file can have any name - there is no need for any of the sections to be present. An example object file name is

Primitive_154-121-062__9be68fdd-f740-4a0f-9675-dfbbb536b946.xml

=== settings/ ===

This contains the region settings information for the region in XML format. The filename will be the same as the region name. For example,

OpenSim Test.xml

Here is an [[OAR format 0.2 region settings example|example of an XML region file]] (schema to follow, sometime).

=== terrains/ ===

This contains the terrain file for the region, stored in RAW format. The filename must end with .r32. For example,

OpenSim Test.r32

OpenSim Archives

[[Technical Reference | Technical Reference]] -> [[Technical Reference/terms | Terms]] -> [[OAR_Format | OAR Format]] -> [[OpenSim_Archives | How do I use the OAR Function?]]

=How do I use the OpenSim Archive Function?=

==Introduction==

The OpenSim Archive (OAR) function has existed since r5469 (post 0.5.8). Basically, it does a similar job to load-xml2/save-xml2 in that it saves prims so that they can be later reloaded. However, OpenSim archives (OAR) go a step further in that they can save all the necessary asset data so that you may fully restore the terrain, the textures of objects and their inventories when loaded onto a completely different system using a different asset database.

==Usage==

From the region console, one can type

save oar [<filename>]

to save an OpenSim archive. If no filename is given, then the name region.oar is used in the current directory

To load an archive, type

load oar [<filename>]

at the console. If no filename is given, then the server looks for a file called region.oar in the current directory.

Currently by default, loading an archive will delete all the objects in the scene and replace them with the archive contents. It's like being in the Matrix (when they swap environments), except much slower (all the scene objects are slowly deleted before the new environment is loaded :-)

When an archive is loaded, owners will be restored if the relevant uuids can be found in the OpenSim installation's user database. Otherwise, prim ownership will default to the master avatar for the region.

I recommend that you use filenames with the extension '''.oar'''. The filename extension of the download links on this page is '''.tar.gz''' which illustrates that the '''.oar''' format is actually a zipped tar file.

==Examples==

Contemporary architecture surrounded with a natural/synthetic context [http://www.flickr.com/photos/8905571@N05/3182585775/ image_1] [http://www.flickr.com/photos/8905571@N05/3171070049/ image_2] (work under [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/ Creative Commons by attribution]).

===OAR file from "Lusitania Tester" for all===
[http://www.worldsimterra.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=163&Itemid=100263 OAR-File.tar.gz]- Every week (on Sunday after 21:00 UTC) a OAR file from "Lusitania Tester" of WorldSimTerra-Grid is available for use of building and rezz of different avatars. All the avatars of all the grids are invited to place their free buildings and rezz to share with the OpenSim community. To get the OAR file, the member of the OpenSim community will make the registration on the site, after logging in, the downloads are available on the "Avatar Toolbox" tab (this tab is only available after you login to the site)

Please feel free to place links to other environments here, though unfortunately you'll have to host them on some other site.

Do not forget to also check out this page [http://www.opensimworlds.com/index.php?part=worlds http://www.opensimworlds.com/index.php?part=worlds]

==Use cases==

Possible current uses are

1. To migrate data from an SQLite region database to one based on MySQL

2. To distribute entire regions to other people.

==Current limitations==

* Parcel information is not currently saved. This will be addressed in the future.
* Performance is not very good, especially with large archives. This will be addressed in the future

==File Formats==

[[OAR Format|OAR File Formats]]

==FAQ==

1. What is this .tar.gz format you are using for the internal OAR format? Why not zip?

.tar.gz is a standard unix way of zipping up files into a single larger compressed file for distribution. Windows users should be able to open these files using freeware programs such as [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip].

I'm using .tar.gz because all the zip (and tar) libraries for .net are licensed either under the GPL (with exception) or under the MSPL. Unfortunately, not all members of the OpenSim development team are comfortable with the MSPL, so these libaries are not currently an option. It is also significantly easier to write code to create and read tar archives than zip archives.

Also, if you're only ever loading and saving oars (rather than pulling them apart and putting them back together), then you don't need to worry about the internal format at all :)

2. Can you load and save multiple regions to an archive?

Not yet.

3. Can you load and save parts of a region to an archive?

Not yet.

==Bugs==

* Due to a possible bug in the Mono 1.2.4 libraries, this feature may cause a debug dump when used (the problem appears to be in writing out a compressed stream). Mono 1.2.6 is okay. Since Mono 1.2.4 is fairly old now, this bug will not be addressed.

==Current Status==

Operational. Bug reports are appreciated.

Though we will strive to maintain compatibilty for old archives with newer OpenSimulator versions, please don't rely on these archives as the only backup for regions.

=What is the OAR format?=

== Introduction ==

The region [[OpenSim_Archives|OpenSim Archives (OAR)]] format is designed with three aims in mind:

# Make it easy for people to read and write different OpenSim files within an archive.
# Make it easy to compose two region archives into a single region archive.
# Make it easy to compose archives from scratch.

Therefore, all the different entities (assets, objects, terrains, etc.) are packaged in individual files (e.g. one for each asset) with human readable filenames and machine readable extensions (e.g. .jp2 for textures, .txt for notecards).

=What is the OAR 0.2 format?=

== Changes ==

OAR format 0.2 is identical to 0.1 except that region settings have been added

== Detail ==

At the present time, a region archive is a gzipped tar file (tar.gz) in the the original unix tar format (not USTAR). This can be extracted and created with standard tools ([http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip] on Windows). The structure of the archive is as follows

archive.xml
assets/
objects/
settings/
terrains/

=== archive.xml ===

This is the archive control file. At the moment it contains only a major and minor version number, to allow compatibility with future format changes.

=== assets/ ===

This directory contains all the assets in the archive. Each filename has the following format

<uuid>_<asset type>.<asset extension>

The ''uuid'' section must always be present and form a valid uuid - it is used directly as the uuid for that asset. The ''asset type'' and ''asset extension'' are used to identify the type of asset and the ''asset extension'' allows the asset to be associated with different editors on platforms such as Windows. For instance, a script will always have the asset type and extension script.lsl. A full list of asset types and extensions can be found in the file

OpenSim/Region/Environment/Modules/World/Archiver/ArchiveConstants.cs

in the OpenSim distribution.

=== objects/ ===

Each individual file in here is an object in the region (where an object [linkset] can be composed of many prims). The file format used is OpenSim's XML2 format. Each filename has the following structure by default

<Object name>_<x>-<y>-<z>__<uuid>.xml

Unlike asset filenames, any component of this name can be changed without affecting any attributes of the object itself - this information is taken from the xml instead. Indeed, this file can have any name - there is no need for any of the sections to be present. An example object file name is

Primitive_154-121-062__9be68fdd-f740-4a0f-9675-dfbbb536b946.xml

=== settings/ ===

This contains the region settings information for the region in XML format. The filename will be the same as the region name. For example,

OpenSim Test.xml

Here is an [[OAR format 0.2 region settings example|example of an XML region file]] (schema to follow, sometime).

=== terrains/ ===

This contains the terrain file for the region, stored in RAW format. The filename must end with .r32. For example,

OpenSim Test.r32

=What is the OAR format?=

== Introduction ==

The region [[OpenSim_Archives|OpenSim Archives (OAR)]] format is designed with three aims in mind:

# Make it easy for people to read and write different OpenSim files within an archive.
# Make it easy to compose two region archives into a single region archive.
# Make it easy to compose archives from scratch.

Therefore, all the different entities (assets, objects, terrains, etc.) are packaged in individual files (e.g. one for each asset) with human readable filenames and machine readable extensions (e.g. .jp2 for textures, .txt for notecards).

OpenSim Archives

2009-05-24T16:39:21Z

Mark.malewski: Added/updated "turtle track" navigation link/text description at top of the page. This page is a work in progress, please ignore.

[[Technical Reference | Technical Reference]] -> [[Technical Reference/terms | Terms]] -> [[OAR_Format | OAR Format]] -> [[OpenSim_Archives | How do I use the OAR Function?]]

=How do I use the OpenSim Archive Function?=

==Introduction==

The OpenSim Archive (OAR) function has existed since r5469 (post 0.5.8). Basically, it does a similar job to load-xml2/save-xml2 in that it saves prims so that they can be later reloaded. However, OpenSim archives (OAR) go a step further in that they can save all the necessary asset data so that you may fully restore the terrain, the textures of objects and their inventories when loaded onto a completely different system using a different asset database.

==Usage==

From the region console, one can type

save oar [<filename>]

to save an OpenSim archive. If no filename is given, then the name region.oar is used in the current directory

To load an archive, type

load oar [<filename>]

at the console. If no filename is given, then the server looks for a file called region.oar in the current directory.

Currently by default, loading an archive will delete all the objects in the scene and replace them with the archive contents. It's like being in the Matrix (when they swap environments), except much slower (all the scene objects are slowly deleted before the new environment is loaded :-)

When an archive is loaded, owners will be restored if the relevant uuids can be found in the OpenSim installation's user database. Otherwise, prim ownership will default to the master avatar for the region.

I recommend that you use filenames with the extension '''.oar'''. The filename extension of the download links on this page is '''.tar.gz''' which illustrates that the '''.oar''' format is actually a zipped tar file.

==Examples==

==Use cases==

Possible current uses are

1. To migrate data from an SQLite region database to one based on MySQL

2. To distribute entire regions to other people.

==Current limitations==

* Parcel information is not currently saved. This will be addressed in the future.
* Performance is not very good, especially with large archives. This will be addressed in the future

==File Formats==

[[OAR Format|OAR File Formats]]

==FAQ==

1. What is this .tar.gz format you are using for the internal OAR format? Why not zip?

.tar.gz is a standard unix way of zipping up files into a single larger compressed file for distribution. Windows users should be able to open these files using freeware programs such as [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip].

I'm using .tar.gz because all the zip (and tar) libraries for .net are licensed either under the GPL (with exception) or under the MSPL. Unfortunately, not all members of the OpenSim development team are comfortable with the MSPL, so these libaries are not currently an option. It is also significantly easier to write code to create and read tar archives than zip archives.

Also, if you're only ever loading and saving oars (rather than pulling them apart and putting them back together), then you don't need to worry about the internal format at all :)

2. Can you load and save multiple regions to an archive?

Not yet.

3. Can you load and save parts of a region to an archive?

Not yet.

==Bugs==

* Due to a possible bug in the Mono 1.2.4 libraries, this feature may cause a debug dump when used (the problem appears to be in writing out a compressed stream). Mono 1.2.6 is okay. Since Mono 1.2.4 is fairly old now, this bug will not be addressed.

==Current Status==

Operational. Bug reports are appreciated.

Though we will strive to maintain compatibilty for old archives with newer OpenSimulator versions, please don't rely on these archives as the only backup for regions.

=How do I use the OpenSim Archive Function?=

==Introduction==

The OpenSim Archive (OAR) function has existed since r5469 (post 0.5.8). Basically, it does a similar job to load-xml2/save-xml2 in that it saves prims so that they can be later reloaded. However, OpenSim archives (OAR) go a step further in that they can save all the necessary asset data so that you may fully restore the terrain, the textures of objects and their inventories when loaded onto a completely different system using a different asset database.

==Usage==

From the region console, one can type

save oar [<filename>]

to save an OpenSim archive. If no filename is given, then the name region.oar is used in the current directory

To load an archive, type

load oar [<filename>]

at the console. If no filename is given, then the server looks for a file called region.oar in the current directory.

Currently by default, loading an archive will delete all the objects in the scene and replace them with the archive contents. It's like being in the Matrix (when they swap environments), except much slower (all the scene objects are slowly deleted before the new environment is loaded :-)

When an archive is loaded, owners will be restored if the relevant uuids can be found in the OpenSim installation's user database. Otherwise, prim ownership will default to the master avatar for the region.

I recommend that you use filenames with the extension '''.oar'''. The filename extension of the download links on this page is '''.tar.gz''' which illustrates that the '''.oar''' format is actually a zipped tar file.

The region [[OpenSim_Archives|OpenSim Archives (OAR)]] format is designed with three aims in mind

# Make it easy for people to read and write different OpenSim files within an archive.
# Make it easy to compose two region archives into a single region archive.
# Make it easy to compose archives from scratch.

Therefore, all the different entities (assets, objects, terrains, etc.) are packaged in individual files (e.g. one for each asset) with human readable filenames and machine readable extensions (e.g. .jp2 for textures, .txt for notecards).

== Detail ==

At the present time, a region archive is a gzipped tar file (tar.gz) in the the original unix tar format (not USTAR). This can be extracted and created with standard tools ([http://www.7-zip.org/ 7-zip] on Windows). The structure of the archive is as follows

archive.xml
assets/
objects/
terrains/

=== archive.xml ===

This is the archive control file. At the moment it contains only a major and minor version number, to allow compatibility with future format changes.

=== assets/ ===

This directory contains all the assets in the archive. Each filename has the following format

''uuid''_''asset type''.''asset extension''

The ''uuid'' section must always be present and form a valid uuid - it is used directly as the uuid for that asset. The ''asset type'' and ''asset extension'' are used to identify the type of asset and the ''asset extension'' allows the asset to be associated with different editors on platforms such as Windows. For instance, a script will always have the asset type and extension script.lsl. A full list of asset types and extensions can be found in the file

OpenSim/Region/Environment/Modules/World/Archiver/ArchiveConstants.cs

in the OpenSim distribution.

=== objects/ ===

Each individual file in here is an object in the region (where an object [linkset] can be composed of many prims). The file format used is OpenSim's XML2 format. Each filename has the following structure by default

''Object name''_''x''-''y''-''z''__''uuid''.xml

Unlike asset filenames, any component of this name can be changed without affecting any attributes of the object itself - this information is taken from the xml instead. Indeed, this file can have any name - there is no need for any of the sections to be present. An example object file name is

Primitive_154-121-062__9be68fdd-f740-4a0f-9675-dfbbb536b946.xml

=== terrains/ ===

This contains the terrain file for the region, stored in RAW format. The filename must end with .r32. For example,

OpenSim Test.r32

* OpenSim's own scripting team is accepting ideas/requests/wishlists for [[OSSL_Proposals|custom functions]].
* Some notes on converting [[LSL:PrimitiveParams]] to OpenSim PrimitiveBaseShape
* Currently LSL is in a state of uncertainty based off the recent LibSL fiasco.
* Once that is smoothed out, all LSL that previously tested fine, will be retested.
* Because of the aforementioned issues, these numbers here likely are incorrect and need to be updated.

Grid List

2009-05-23T07:03:15Z

Mark.malewski: /* See Also */ Added "Grid Associations" link under "See Also" heading. This page is a work in progress, please ignore!

[[Technical Reference | Technical Reference]] -> [[Grid_List| Grid List]]

=What is the Grid List?=

==About==
At the moment there are a number of sims which we try to keep up 24x7, minus the upgrade times, etc. Remember - there are no guarantees at the moment on the backups of the inventories, landscape, etc. So, treat this as you would treat the beta grid at most. In order to login with opensim-links, you will need to install [http://lab.newworldgrid.com/index.php/OpenSim_Launcher OpenSim Launcher] or add a [[Browser_Protocol_Handler|protocol handler]] to your browser. Otherwise you could simply create a custom [[Connecting|shortcut]] with the right parameters to your Second Life browser.

==Public grids==
<big>IMPORTANT NOTE:</big>The OpenSimulator Project is an Application Platform that can be used by anyone. It is not responsible for any grid listed on this page, nor for any grid's content or activities within them. Grid List Policy: Please only list your grid if your software is based on OpenSimulator.org SVN software code, all other grids will be removed and also please provide a link on your grid website back to this project website, remember link recognition is a two-way street.
 
If you own a grid and are interested in joining a grid association see this page:
[[Grid Associations]]
 
Public grids require you to create an account on their website, which you can then use to log into the grid.
 These grids are listed in the order of their appearance, anyone found inserting a grid up higher in the list will have their entry removed, please add your entry to the very bottom of the list, this is not negotiable.
 The gridlist 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. Thanks a lot.

=What is a Grid Association?=

==About==

This is a wiki page to draft out the idea of grid associations and eventually have a list of associations.

What is a grid association?
* A group of grid owners working together to achieve common goals.

Why have grid associations?
* Homogeneous experience with standardized quality for users that teleport between grids.
* Hyper grid technology enables grid associations linking up in world.
* Shared quality goals.
* Same grid version.
* Shared user base.
* Teaming up for 24/7 maintenance.
* Collecting improvement ideas and bugs to OpenSim dev team.
* Shared assets for grid association sharing a theme.
* Together baked terrain offering seamless map over the entire grid associations hyper grid.
* Working on contents like avatars meshes
* Mutualising ressources
* Working on databse replication (grid A /B <> B/A )

What types of grid associations there could be?
* Theme: urban, nature, rpg, scifi
* Hobby: climbing, diving
* Business
* Game

== Grids Looking for Cooperation ==

[[Technical Reference | Technical Reference]] -> [[Support| Support]]-> [[Bugs| Reporting Bugs]]

=How do I report a Bug?=

==Reporting Bugs==
OpenSim is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_stage#Alpha alpha software], this means that there are frequent bugs in the codebase, and many features that still need implementing. You can help us find and fix these problems by [http://opensimulator.org/mantis reporting bugs] to us or submitting patches.

The [http://opensimulator.org/mantis mantis] tool is one of the main channels of communication between OpenSim users and OpenSim developers for purposes of reporting bugs. '''It is NOT a customer support tool''', because there is no official customer support within the opensim project beyond that provided by '''volunteers''' in the opensim IRC and mailing list. It is also not a feedback tool like a forum. Please use assorted forums for that kind of discussion or contribution. If you want to use the mantis tool, you have to be willing to learn how Mantis is to be properly used in the OpenSim project, which is very different from other organizations' reporting & tracking systems.

This explains how to generate and file a Mantis Bug Report, which really helps the continuous development of OpenSim.

If your main interest is to have your problem solved, or send informal feedback, rather than help the development of OpenSim, then mantis is the wrong tool for you. Try signing on to #opensim IRC for that kind of help, where you can talk to other OpenSim users, exchange user experiences and get personalized volunteer help.

If, however, you are willing to invest time to investigate the problem you are experiencing, your effort will be greatly appreciated. You should look at mantis as half-way between '''your effort to solve the problem''' and the developers effort to do the same (and fix the problem). For everything else, there are several IRC channels, mailing lists, and assorted grid-specific forums.

When you encounter a problem, before filing a Mantis Report, ask yourself the following questions:

* '''Are you the ONLY one experiencing this problem or are there other people experiencing it?''' The fastest way to find an answer to this question is to sign on to the #opensim IRC channel and exchange a few words with other OpenSim users there. Another way is to browse/search this Mantis tool for current known bugs/errors. If you're not the only one, then chances are it's a real issue. If you're the only one, chances are you're doing something wrong. The mantis tool is the wrong place to report configuration or technical support problems, you're better off using the IRC and signing on to #opensim. In any case,
** Is there something broken in your setup?
** Have you misconfigured something?
** Look at the OpenSim.log file. Is there something informative in there that will help you understand what's going on with your setup? An exception perhaps?

* '''Can you reproduce the problem systematically?''' Take time to understand the steps that lead to the problem. The more reproducible and better understood the problem is, the higher the chances are that it will get fixed. If you can't reproduce it, there is very little chance that the issue will be fixed. But reproducibility to ''you'' is not enough. Read on.

* '''Can you describe the problem to developers so that ''they'' can reproduce it without being you?'''
** The best way to do this is to try to reproduce the problem in a standalone setup. This eliminates all the extra noise that adds fuzzyness to the issue. So try it in standalone first. If you are able to reproduce it like that, the chances of the problem being fixed soon increase dramatically. If the problem is related to the Hypergrid and distributed setups, try to reproduce the problem in only one machine with 2 opensim instances. From a developer's perspective, it will be easy to take your good description, reproduce it on their own standalones, and then fix it.
** If you can't reproduce it in standalone mode, try to reproduce it in grid mode using the simplest possible grid -- something that a developer can also set up on one machine without much work.
** If you can't reproduce it that way, and the problem only occurs within your special grid environment, chances are there's something wrong with your configuration or your special setup. Furthermore, the chances of a developer being able to fix the problem soon decreases dramatically. More than likely you will need to find volunteer technical support, or you may try to hire someone for a fee in order for him/her to take their time to investigate the issue with your grid.

===Bug Description===

Once you understand how to reproduce the problem, describe it on Mantis, along with a step-by-step recipe for a developer to reproduce it. In an ideal bug report, the description should be something like this:

Setup (standalone/grid/...), as detailed as possible

1) Do A

2) Do B

3) Do C

...

==> Bang! problem

In every step, be as specific as possible, leaving no room for interpretation. For example, saying

"x) crashed the client by pulling up the task bar and killing the SecondLife process" is MUCH better than

"x) crashed the client";

and

"y) create a new region by using a command like this on the console: create region ..." is MUCH better than

"y) create a region".

Remember, the purpose of your description is to help a developer experience the steps that lead to the problem, so that he/she can then fix it.

===When not to file a bug report===

Simply reporting a problem that you are experiencing is ok but it's completely ineffective for purposes of troubleshooting or problem solving. Mantis should not be used for that. Instead, report generic and/or non-reproducible and/or special setup problems informally in #opensim and/or #opensim-dev. Here are two examples:

- "TPs seem to be broken in OSGrid with r1234": report that in osgrid-related forums and #opensim

- "TPs seem to be broken altogether with r1234, and lots of ppl are seeing this too": let the developers know about it in #opensim-dev, maybe. They probably already know.

If all you can say about an issue is it's brief description or "This is happening to me, please help" or "Here's my informal feedback", Mantis is the wrong tool for it. Don't file a bug report, it will be closed promptly.

Please review the Mantis procedures/states etc.. on [[Bugs]]

==Steps for reporting a bug==
* Visit [http://www.opensimulator.org/mantis opensimulator.org/mantis] and search to see if your bug already exists in the system. If it does, please add a note with any additional comments or technical assistance such as steps to reproduce, symptoms, etc.
* A good bug report has the following properties:
** Concise and to the point, IE: "Duplicating a primitive while sitting on it, crashes the region.".
** Contains as much debug information as possible, if OpenSim threw an error before crashing it, a copy of this error is helpful. If not, pasting the last 50 lines from your opensim.log when appropriate is also potentially helpful.
** If you can reproduce the bug, steps to reproducing it is a must.
** Please do not submit bugs such as "OpenSim eats a lot of CPU time" without including information about your setup, and anything you or we may have done to trigger this, unfortunately we are not psychic and cannot guess what may have happened.
* Create an account on the opensim Mantis website, and hit 'Report new issue'. Please note that some free email providers may take a while for the confirmation email to appear.

==Bug States in Mantis==
One of the goals is to get as many issues out of the new state as possible and get turned into good bugs that can be acted upon. Below is a lightweight state diagram that should help in deciding what state is appropriate for bugs in Mantis.

[[Image:BugStates.png]]

Some comments on states:
* Bugs don't have to flow through all states to land somewhere. For instance, if a bug starts with a well written up description, and the person triaging the bug has seen the same issue, it can be moved straight to confirmed. As with everything, these are rough guidelines, use your judgement.
* A bug will be marked '''Resolved''' if the person working the bug believes it is fixed even if there isn't final confirmation from the reporter. If the reporter finds that it is not fixed, please just reopen the bug and add comments accordingly.
* Please leave closing of bugs to core team. A closed bug means we think it's gone forever, or the bug report is invalid.
* A bug in resolved or closed state can also be reopened if the bug still exists. Please read the bug report and the attached notes carefully before doing this.

[[Technical Reference | Technical Reference]] -> [[Grid_List| Grid List]]

=What is the Grid List?=

==About==
At the moment there are a number of sims which we try to keep up 24x7, minus the upgrade times, etc. Remember - there are no guarantees at the moment on the backups of the inventories, landscape, etc. So, treat this as you would treat the beta grid at most. In order to login with opensim-links, you will need to install [http://lab.newworldgrid.com/index.php/OpenSim_Launcher OpenSim Launcher] or add a [[Browser_Protocol_Handler|protocol handler]] to your browser. Otherwise you could simply create a custom [[Connecting|shortcut]] with the right parameters to your Second Life browser.

==Public grids==
<big>IMPORTANT NOTE:</big>The OpenSimulator Project is an Application Platform that can be used by anyone. It is not responsible for any grid listed on this page, nor for any grid's content or activities within them. Grid List Policy: Please only list your grid if your software is based on OpenSimulator.org SVN software code, all other grids will be removed and also please provide a link on your grid website back to this project website, remember link recognition is a two-way street.
 
If you own a grid and are interested in joining a grid association see this page:
[[Grid Associations]]
 
Public grids require you to create an account on their website, which you can then use to log into the grid.
 These grids are listed in the order of their appearance, anyone found inserting a grid up higher in the list will have their entry removed, please add your entry to the very bottom of the list, this is not negotiable.
 The gridlist 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. Thanks a lot.

Grid List

=What is the Grid List?=

==About==
At the moment there are a number of sims which we try to keep up 24x7, minus the upgrade times, etc. Remember - there are no guarantees at the moment on the backups of the inventories, landscape, etc. So, treat this as you would treat the beta grid at most. In order to login with opensim-links, you will need to install [http://lab.newworldgrid.com/index.php/OpenSim_Launcher OpenSim Launcher] or add a [[Browser_Protocol_Handler|protocol handler]] to your browser. Otherwise you could simply create a custom [[Connecting|shortcut]] with the right parameters to your Second Life browser.

==Public grids==
<big>IMPORTANT NOTE:</big>The OpenSimulator Project is an Application Platform that can be used by anyone. It is not responsible for any grid listed on this page, nor for any grid's content or activities within them. Grid List Policy: Please only list your grid if your software is based on OpenSimulator.org SVN software code, all other grids will be removed and also please provide a link on your grid website back to this project website, remember link recognition is a two-way street.
 
If you own a grid and are interested in joining a grid association see this page:
[[Grid Associations]]
 
Public grids require you to create an account on their website, which you can then use to log into the grid.
 These grids are listed in the order of their appearance, anyone found inserting a grid up higher in the list will have their entry removed, please add your entry to the very bottom of the list, this is not negotiable.
 The gridlist 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. Thanks a lot.
 
Public Grid List Sorted [[Grid_List/Sorted/Alphabetically|Alphabetically]], [[Grid_List/Sorted/ByRegions|By # of Regions]], [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=rHNVZVIc1-GdXzqx2Ac4NDQ&gid=4 By # of Users], [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=rHNVZVIc1-GdXzqx2Ac4NDQ&gid=6 By Unique 30 days], [[Grid_List/Sorted/ByHistory|By History]]

=What is the Grid List?=

==About==
At the moment there are a number of sims which we try to keep up 24x7, minus the upgrade times, etc. Remember - there are no guarantees at the moment on the backups of the inventories, landscape, etc. So, treat this as you would treat the beta grid at most. In order to login with opensim-links, you will need to install [http://lab.newworldgrid.com/index.php/OpenSim_Launcher OpenSim Launcher] or add a [[Browser_Protocol_Handler|protocol handler]] to your browser. Otherwise you could simply create a custom [[Connecting|shortcut]] with the right parameters to your Second Life browser.

==Public grids==
<big>IMPORTANT NOTE:</big>The OpenSimulator Project is an Application Platform that can be used by anyone. It is not responsible for any grid listed on this page, nor for any grid's content or activities within them. Grid List Policy: Please only list your grid if your software is based on OpenSimulator.org SVN software code, all other grids will be removed and also please provide a link on your grid website back to this project website, remember link recognition is a two-way street.
 
If you own a grid and are interested in joining a grid association see this page:
[[Grid Associations]]
 
Public grids require you to create an account on their website, which you can then use to log into the grid.
 These grids are listed in the order of their appearance, anyone found inserting a grid up higher in the list will have their entry removed, please add your entry to the very bottom of the list, this is not negotiable.
 The gridlist 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. Thanks a lot.
