The features can be used through three LightShare (ls) functions:

• lsGetWindlightScene
• lsSetWindlightScene
• lsSetWindlightSceneTargeted

Default settings are shown being set in this sample script:

Note that although the core functionality is available within OpenSim 0.7 onwards, the relevant data base tables are mot created automatically, and must be done manually. E.g. using this SQL:

LightShare is enabled by setting the [LightShare] section of OpenSim.ini to enable_windlight = true (rather than the default of false).

 [LightShare]
 ; This enables the transmission of Windlight scenes to supporting clients, such as the Meta7 viewer.
 ; It has no ill effect on viewers which do not support server-side windlight settings.
 ; Currently we only have support for MySQL databases.
 enable_windlight = true;
 

A special viewer is needed to receive Windlight settings broadcast by a region through the LightShare mechanism. E.g, Imprudence. The facilities are not available by default. You should turn them on as described here.
