[Opensim-users] Matching, mapping user UUIDs between servers

[Justin Clark-Casey]

You can manually create a new user using the "create user" command which will let you supply a UUID.  There are also 
ways of doing this through services [1] if you can secure the API.  Unfortunately, there's currently no way to migrate a 
whole user in a single package, inventory and all.

As other people have replied - changing all the relevant UUIDs in the OARs should also work.  The oar (tar.gz) loader in 
OpenSimulator can be a bit finicky - I believe the directories must end with a / in their names, for instance.  There is 
information on the format at [2] (I confess I just added the information that archive.xml must come first since that 
wasn't there).
