[Opensim-users] Assets 101

[Stefan Andersson]

aaand coming in from the flank here...
 
is there any other way than 'terrain download/upload' to download content to file thru the viewer?
If not, I guess that you could just supplant the terrain ul/dl with an oar dl/ul.
 
That is, instead of sending an 'raw' bbinary, we could sent a save-oar xml file. Provided permissions, of course.
 
am I correct that the client actually sends an asynch request for the data, then starts streaming it?
 
if so, I guess we could just do something like
 
a) user requests terrain ul/dl and specifies filename
b) region sends a dialog box asking "you want RAW, OAR, Log File excerpt or Save-xml2?"
c) user answers
d) region starts sending specified content, client stores it to that file
 
Would be quite a nifty and convenient way to work with region content given access to no console, I'd say.Best regards,Stefan AnderssonTribal Media AB

I meant the old fashion way of starting an OpenSim.exe that connects a new blank region to OSGrid. You would not need to do any hypergridding. Since the new region you connect to OSGrid is running on your server, you would have access to the console to do save-oar's to your hearts content. Then the transfer to your own stand-alone would just be a matter of file copy and load-oar. Although, now that you mention it, doing a hypergrid region might actually make the transfer easier; that is, once you get hypergrid working.If you're trying to get stuff from LL's grid, SI is about the only thing going.Peace,SeanRobert Klein wrote: 
LOL Sean, that is a great idea, but for those of us who have yet to get the
whole hypergrid thing going we are kind of stuck with relying on Second
Inventory or someone else making the oar files available. Hmm, if only LL
would open up the SL grid for 24 hours... :)

Robert,

The easiest way, (or at least a way), to grab assets from OSGrid is to 
connect a region to OSGrid, rez the assets on your region, then save-oar 
of your region. This will give you an OAR file of those assets that you 
can then upload to your stand-alone or any other region that you have 
access to the console.

Peace,
Sean
