[Opensim-dev] INI files modularity

[Frank Nichols]

It’s even easier than that. Create a “config” directory in your bin directory. Place .ini files in it and they are automatically included with NO modification required in the OpenSim.ini. I have been including the “.ini” being discussed for a year or two now using that method.

All one need to do is slip in an include command  in the gridCommun.ini with the name of the file saved in the config_includes directory and then edit that file appropriately with the specifics required. In my case I use quit a few one after the other among which a olsSript.ini to address Xengine customization.

This file includes (gimisa.ini)  the MySQL settings and point to oslScript.ini for additional Xengine section  with  OSL function  allowing  them with ESTATE_ or PARCEL_ options.
