What are server commands?
Disclaimer: some commands may not work as expected, some may not work at all, and there is a chance that you may even lose all your settings/contents
General Server Commands
Console Command Summary View here: Console_Commands (opens in this tab)
- alert - send an alert to a designated user or all users.
alert [First] [Last] [Message] - send an alert to a user. Case sensitive. alert general [Message] - send an alert to all users.
- backup - trigger a simulator backup (Persist objects to the database now)
- change-region [region name] - subsequent commands apply only to the specified region
- change-region root (or ..) - exits the region and returns to 'root'
- clear-assets - forcibly clears asset cache, probably leaving sim unstable. Use with caution.
- create-region [name] [filename] - Creates a new region
- create user (in opensim.exe console for Standalone mode or User Server console for gridmode)
- command-script [name of scriptfile] - Runs a command script containing server commands
- config get <section> <field> - Read a config option
- config save - Save current configuration
- config set <section> <field> <value> - Set a config option
- delete-region <name> - Delete a region from disk
- edit-scale [primitivename] [xvalue] [yvalue] [zvalue] - changes size of the named prim
- export - Execute subcommand for plugin 'export'
- export-map [<path>]: - Save an image of the world map (default name is exportmap.jpg)
- export save [simname] - Saves the named region into the exports directory.
- export save-all - Saves all regions into the exports directory.
- fcache assets - Attempt a deep scan and cache of all assets in all scenes
- fcache clear [file]: [memory] - Remove all assets in the file and/or memory cache
- fcache expire <datetime> - Purge cached assets older then the specified date/time
- fcache status - Display cache status
- force-update - triggers a resend of all prims in a region
- help - ehm... what was this for again...?
help [<command>]: - Get general command list or more detailed help on a specific command
help export - Get help on plugin command 'export'
help export-map [<path>]: Get help on plugin export-map
help terrain - Get help on plugin command 'terrain'
help tree - Get help on plugin command 'tree'
- kick user <first> <last> [message]: - Kick a user off the simulator
- kill uuid <UUID> - Kill an object by UUID (helpfull with red lines in the console)
- load-xml [filename] [-newUID] [offset_x offset_y offset_z] - load prims from XML
-newUID optional switch generates new UUID's for all prims
leave this switch off to keep UUID's as they were
Offset is optional
This example lets you place it at an offset from 100,100,20.. as such:
load-xml [filename] -newUID 3 1 2
(Loading the prim at 103, 101, 22)
> 0.6.9 should support following: load xml [-newIDs [<x> <y> <z>]:] - Load a region's data from XML format those xml are the result of the export save or *export save-all
- save prims xml2 [<prim name> <file name>]: - Save named prim to XML2
- save-xml [filename] - save prims to XML
- save-xml2 [filename] - save prims to XML (Format 2 - rearrangement of some nodes, to make loading/saving easier)
- load-xml2 [filename] - optional parameters not supported for XML2 format as at 1-Jul-2008
- load xml2 - Load a region's data from XML2 format
- load-oar [filename] - load an OpenSimulator archive. This entirely replaces the current region. Default filename is scene_oar.tar.gz. See OpenSim Archives for more details.
- save-oar [filename] - save the current region to an OpenSimulator archive. Default filename is scene_oar.tar.gz. See OpenSim Archives for more details.

The destination filename for your heightmap, the file extension determines the format to save in. Supported extensions include: .r32 (RAW32) .f32 (RAW32) .ter (Terragen) .raw (LL/SL RAW) .jpg (JPEG) .jpeg (JPEG) .bmp (BMP) .png (PNG) .gif (GIF) .tif (TIFF) .tiff (TIFF)
terrain fill
Fills the current heightmap with a specified value.
Parameters
- value (Double)
The numeric value of the height you wish to set your region to.
terrain elevate
Raises the current heightmap by the specified amount.
Parameters
- amount (Double)
terrain lower
Lowers the current heightmap by the specified amount.
Parameters
- amount (Double)
The amount of height to remove from the terrain in meters.
terrain multiply
Multiplies the heightmap by the value specified.
Parameters
- value (Double)

terrain bake
Saves the current terrain into the regions revert map.
terrain revert
Loads the revert map terrain into the regions heightmap.
terrain newbrushes
Enables experimental brushes which replace the standard terrain brushes. WARNING: This is a debug setting and may be removed at any time.
Parameters
- Enabled? (Boolean)
true / false - Enable new brushes
terrain stats
Shows some information about the regions heightmap for debugging purposes.
terrain effect
Runs a specified plugin effect
Parameters
- name (String)
The plugin effect you wish to run, or 'list' to see all plugins
Hypergrid Commands
When opensim.exe is run with the -hypergrid=true flag:
link-region <Xloc> <Yloc> <host> <port> <location-name>
- 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 port of the region you want to link to
E.g. link-region 8998 8998 osl2.nac.uci.edu 9006 OSGrid Gateway
Important Note
Due to a viewer bug, you can only TP between regions that are no more than 4096 cells apart in any dimension. What this means in practice is that if you want to link to OSGrid, you must have your own regions reachable from the (10,000; 10,000) point on the map, which is where OSGrid is centered. Place your regions somewhere in the 8,000s or the 12,000s.
link-mapping
SVNBackup Module
- svn save - saves a current copy of all your regions to SVN.
- svn load - loads SVN head and imports it to your region.
- svn load <revision> - loads a specified revision
- svn load-region <name> - loads a specified region at head revision
- svn load-region <name> <revision> - loads a specified region from a specified SVN revision.
UserServer Commands
Only in grid mode: login-level [level] : set the minimal user GodLevel to access to the grid. By default a new user has a value of 0 login-reset : reset the level to 0 login-text "text" : set the welcome text
Command Proposals
show stats kill [username] (Rock Vacirca: I hope this means: removes the named user and all their assets) save-xml/load-xml [primitivename] [filename] water-level float meters water-tide float low_tide_level_meters float high_tide_level_meters float period_hours ;-) delete-prims [regionname] diagnostics [on/off] (disable the server diagnostics, as users cannot log in while this is happening) show users all (list all users, whether logged in or not) NOT WORKING IN STANDALONE
