A friend and I are wanting to start a medeval themed grid based on some of the old games my father used to play when he was younger.

Since about June 1, I have been unable to install or compile a working set of sim or grid software. At some point in the bootup, each server fails miserably. Since the last attempt (with the msi installer) I cant even get the svn to come up in order to download a newer version.

Things I'd like to see in the project (aside from the basic functionality)

Directly piping in music from WinAmp or other player into each sim. What would be cooler is to have the ability to create a playlist for each sim so that a box running 2 or more sims could have different playlists on each.

The ability to directly modify the default inventory by adding or removing items from the directory. This would work for text files and textures, of the appropriate formats.

The addition of an operator control list for both the grid and the sims. Grid controllers (ala Lindens) would have superuser status across the entire grid. Each sim would have its own list of region-wide superusers. These users would bypass ALL parcel limiters (like build, fly, etc). Right now, on the LL Main Grid, an estate manager can not do this, which is rather stupid.

(08/14/2007) - Ok, for those of you that do NOT know wtf to do with an svn:// url, I have this neat little tool for you:

         Windows XP Shell Extension: SVN

To use this, simply type in the url, starting with svn://, into your browser's address bar. I have noticed it is best to just type in the ROOT url, since Tortise sometimes sees 'directory not found' if you type in the whole thing.

...more to come, I am sure...
