[Opensim-users] Map Tiles And Regions.ini

[Seth Nygard]

Yes you can.

Look at your GridCommon.ini file, in the section for GridService, there 
is a configurable folder defined by MapTileDirectory.

This is what I do to move the maptiles folder to its immediate parent 
folder;
[GridService]
     ;
     ; Change this to your grid-wide grid server
     ;
     GridServerURI = "${Const|BaseURL}:${Const|PrivatePort}"
     AllowHypergridMapSearch = true

     ;; Directory for map tile images of linked regions
     MapTileDirectory = "../maptiles"

     ; === HG ONLY ===
     ;; Change this to the address of your Gatekeeper service
     ;; (usually bundled with the rest of the services in one
     ;; Robust server in port ${Const|PublicPort}, but not always)
     Gatekeeper="${Const|BaseURL}:${Const|PublicPort}"

The regions folder can also easily be moved.

Look at the OpenSim.ini file, in the section Startup.

This is what I do to move the Regions.ini folder;

[Startup]
...
     ;# {region_info_source} {} {Where to load region from?} {filesystem 
web} filesystem
     ;; Determine where OpenSimulator looks for the files which tell it
     ;; which regions to server
     ;; Default is "filesystem"
     ; region_info_source = "filesystem"
     ; region_info_source = "web"

     ;# {regionload_regionsdir} {region_info_source} {Location of file?} 
{} Regions
     ;; Determines where the region XML files are stored if you are loading
     ;; these from the filesystem.
     ;; Defaults to bin/Regions in your OpenSimulator installation directory
     regionload_regionsdir="../conf/Regions"
...

Although I prefer to do away with the Regions.ini files completely and 
serve them from a web url.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
