Obviously this is cutting edge stuff, and definitely not for the faint of heart. I myself have been plugging away for a few weeks now putting this together... and its still in a very rough state... but its there and I'm making progress, and am definitely hooked. I have always wanted my own sim... Now I can actually afford one :). I'm also getting a much better view of whats under the covers in SL. <br><br>It isn't very platform specific. and that's very much to the credit of its developers, I'm using Fedora, but what i am learning can very easily be used in
Windows...<br><br>Well off to try and ger voice working...

from the Wiki. Sometimes the information is<br>> conflicting and I have to figure out what one is fact and<br>> what one my have applied to previous version. The one<br>> that's getting me now is the Region.ini and the<br>> Default.xml On one page it says that the Default.xml<br>> should be in your regions directory, and someplace else it<br>> says that with ver 0.6.6 it wasn't created as part of<br>> the install and I need to make one manually and put it in<br>> the Bin directory. As for the Regions.ini. I finally<br>> figured out that should be for your default (Port 9000)<br>> region and all the others are regionname.xml<br>> <br>> It also should be added to the configuration pages that you<br>> should use your hosts<br>> internal IP address and not 0.0.0.0 as it states<br>> elsewhere, and that you should use the IP address of your<br>> outside port on your modem and be
sure to open the<br>> appropriate router ports. Set up port forwarding and be sure<br>> to open the ports on your firewall<br>> <br>> Another tidbit should be to set up the IPTABLES correctly<br>> with the following commands<br>> <br>> LINUX:<br>> iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst $EXTERNAL_IP -p<br>> tcp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination $INTERNAL_IP<br>> iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT --dst $EXTERNAL_IP -p<br>> udp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination $INTERNAL_IP<br>> service iptables restartiptables -t nat<br>> -L -n <---- this lits the rules for nat so<br>> you can verify its set up right<br>> Windows<br>> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 68.185.20.134 -p tcp<br>> --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.100<br>> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --dst 68.185.20.134 -p<br>> udp --dport 9000:9010 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.2.100<br>>
<br>> Put your proper IP's where indicated. also make<br>> sure you use the Exsternal IP address when setting up your<br>> client if your useing a seperate machine, even if its on the<br>> same network.<br>> <br>> this is all in the WIKI but i think it couldn't<br>> hurt to be sure its all listed under configuration. <br>> Will save people setting it up for the first time and<br>> frustratingly having to dig through the documentation to<br>> find out why it isn't working. All in all the<br>> documentation is complete, its just a little spread out, and<br>> sometimes applies to different version. But I must<br>> applaud the people working on it for the vast collection of<br>> information.
