[Opensim-users] linking regions and hypergrid

[Kevin Buckley]

So - if I want to test this by running separate, hyperlinked, standalone
grids on a single server:

 

O I guess I need to give each instance its own Port base: 900x, 901x, 902x
etc.?

O I guess each instance needs a separate MySQL schema: opensim1, opensim2,
opensim3 etc.?

 

Thanks, Kevin

Configure.exe simply produces the configuration files: 

config-include/MyWorld.ini

Regions/RegionConfig.ini

You can edit those file afterwards and change whatever you want there. 

 From what you say below, you seem to have enough experience with 

OpenSim to fiddle with those files manually. (In general I don't 

recommend it, but if you know what you're doing that's fine)
