[Opensim-users] Firestorm-Release and adding custom OpenSim servers

[Chris]

Oh yes... forgot to add... for those having trouble with Singularity as 
well. Add in your grid to singularity as usual, apply the settings. Then 
close out Singularity. then find the grids_sg2.xml file in 
.\SecondLife\user_settings wherever your application data folder may be. 
I'm on Win 7 so my grids_sg2.xml file is in 
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\user_settings

Your newly created grid entry should be at the bottom. It may be named 
"the lost continent of hippo" in the gridname section. Change that name 
to whatever you want your gridname to be in the grid manager. Then where 
it says

<key>loginuri</key>
<string>http://127.0.0.1:9000/</string>

Change 127.0.0.1 to your IP or FQDN

Save it and reload Singularity. Should be able to pick your renamed grid 
and connect to it =)

The first time i did this it reverted my entry back to lost continent 
and 127.0.0.1 so; you may have to do this one more time to make the info 
stick (mileage may vary lol), just be sure Singularity is shut down 
before making the changes. If all else fails and it doesn't seem to want 
to keep the info, could always make the file read-only.

Hope this helps!
