[Opensim-users] Physics quit working?

Tue Feb 16 10:18:21 UTC 2010

Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this subject, but why should having the region config in an XML file break physics?

from what i have seen of both the ini file and XML file, they are essentially just text files with config settings in them?

Does having multiple XML files actually have a negative effect on the opensim engine?

Regard

James
