[Opensim-users] More 0.6.7 ... Re: Multiple regions using 0.6.7

Fri Oct 16 17:40:54 UTC 2009

Thanks Paul, I will fetch the bleed edge version soon and retest with 
this. This texture issue is really a pita ^^

Anyways the region crossing problem is solved and it had nothing to do 
with the physics engine...  was my own fault. I still had a "gridmode = 
false" in OpenSim.ini although running in gridmode when starting the 
simulator with "mono ./OpenSim.exe -gridmode=true". Worked great as long 
as I had the regions on one single machine. Today I connected two more 
regions which are hosted on another machine and after a while I found 
out that I missed this keyword in the OpenSim.ini file. Region crossing 
is painless now, too - even from one to the other hardware.  ;-)

My next wish would be to check out whether the hypergrid mode is working 
for my own region as a target. Until now I only "link-region" to other 
grids and this is generally working although there seem to be a few 
issues, but I dont know it it is still my system causing the tp-timeout 
every now and then....

So, if anyone would like to fool around with hypergrid stuff, I'd like 
to know if my region "Central Plaza" - should be on grid.annuna.net:9000 
- is reachable from outer space ;-)
I have two regions hosted on this machine, so I dunno which one will be 
mapped... or do you need to know the internal port number? It's 7101 - 
just in case...
