== Region Generator ==

=== About ===
It generates a square piece of land.

You can feed it the from-to X Postion and from-to Y position then it makes the xml files for you.

=== Download ===
I have made a .exe version of this program for windows, you can get it from these locations:

http://www.mediafire.com/?yzzj11lbdon

http://4rensics.com/regiongen2.zip

=== How to use ===
If using windows version
* Extract to somewhere on your computer, i.e. The desktop.
* Edit the regionconfig.py file.
* Run regiongen.exe
* Copy the Regions folder to your opensim/bin folder.
* If you run it again, it will update the regions but it will not delete the files. If you made a big screw up, delete the Regions folder.

If using the python source code (Linux, mac etc), make sure you have the cheetah and python 2.5 dependency's installed and edit the configuration in the header, then run :)

=== Source Code ===
It requires the Cheetah Templating module and python 2.5.

You can get cheetah from http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/

You can get python from http://www.python.org/download/

__NOTOC__
==About==
This is a page which lists software packages that are related to OpenSimulator but are not part of the core project. Opensimulator is not responsible for the content referenced by these links.

==Services==
These are independent implementations of OpenSimulator services, such as the user server or the inventory server (also known as UGAI).

* [http://openugai.sourceforge.net/ OpenUGAI] - A Perl implementation of the UGAI services which runs within Apache.

==Modules==
These are either application or region modules which can be added to the OpenSim core distribution to provide extra functionality.

None are listed yet!

==Tools==
* [http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/terraingen/ Terraingen] - Tool for producing OpenSim terrains from USGS DEM files.
* [RegionGenerator] - Generates Region XML Files

==Other Software==
* [http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensimwiredux OpenSimWI-Redux] - OpenSimWI-Redux is a PHP Web Interface for OpenSim. It allows grid citizens to create User Accounts to access the grid. Grid Owners can also manage all users for the grid. very light CMS system included.

* [http://www.secondinventory.com/ Second Inventory] - A Windows based client that can be used to back up and restore objects from Second Life as well as from various OpenSimulator based grids. It allows you to back up objects from the Second Life main grid, and restore them into OpenSimulator grids. It is still a bit primitive and sometimes can be flaky. This software is in no way supported by the OpenSIM team, please contact its creator for support.

* [http://sourceforge.net/projects/osgc/ OpenSim - Grid Control] - OpenSim - Grid Control is a very simple Web interface written in PHP5 to Administrate your OpenSim Grid and Users. It can also used as a very light CMS. First screenshots [http://eu-grid.eu/wiki/ here]. First running BETA version planed end of this week (2008-05-31).

* [http://www.metabolt.net/ METAbolt] - METAbolt is a non-graphical (text based) viewer. It's light weight and cross grid, which means it will work in Second Life as well as other grids that are based on OpenSIM. The viewer is Open Source so it's free. Currently METAbolt is only available for Windows platforms.

==Forward Looking==
* [http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/ 3D Head Tracking Software] - The idea here is that Johnny has written an application that will allow real3d perspective using a WiiMote & a modified set of safety glasses. Johnny includes all of the source and several sample applications to get this moving forward. Would someone like to pick this up and build us a real3D interface for the SL browser? It's not as hard as you think.
