Welcome to OpenSim!
|
|
|
|
Version 0.6.x
|
|
|
|
== OVERVIEW ==
|
|
|
|
OpenSim is a BSD Licensed Open Source project to develop a functioning
|
|
virtual worlds server platform capable of supporting multiple clients
|
|
and servers in a heterogeneous grid structure. OpenSim is written in
|
|
C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes.
|
|
|
|
This is considered an alpha release. Some stuff works, a lot
|
|
doesn't. If it breaks, you get to keep *both* pieces.
|
|
|
|
== Installation on Windows ==
|
|
|
|
Prereqs:
|
|
|
|
* Load OpenSim.sln into Visual Studio .NET and build the solution.
|
|
* chdir bin
|
|
* OpenSim.exe
|
|
|
|
See configuring OpenSim
|
|
|
|
== Installation on Linux ==
|
|
|
|
Prereqs:
|
|
* Mono >= 2.0.1 (>= 2.4.2 is better)
|
|
* Nant >= 0.86beta
|
|
* sqlite3 or mysql 5.x (you'll need a backend database)
|
|
|
|
From the distribution type:
|
|
* ./runprebuild.sh
|
|
* nant
|
|
* cd bin
|
|
* mono ./OpenSim.exe
|
|
|
|
See configuring OpenSim
|
|
|
|
== Configuring OpenSim ==
|
|
|
|
When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a
|
|
series of questions that look something like:
|
|
|
|
[09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]:
|
|
|
|
At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to
|
|
take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test").
|
|
|
|
YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
|
|
|
|
Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like:
|
|
|
|
Region# :
|
|
|
|
You have successfully started OpenSim.
|
|
|
|
== Connecting to your OpenSim ==
|
|
|
|
By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000. To use
|
|
your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life
|
|
client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim).
|
|
|
|
== Bug reports ==
|
|
|
|
In the likely event of bugs biting you (err, your OpenSim) we
|
|
encourage you to see whether the problem has already been reported on
|
|
the OpenSim mantis system. You can find the OpenSim mantis system at
|
|
|
|
http://opensimulator.org/mantis/main_page.php
|
|
|
|
If your bug has already been reported, you might want to add to the
|
|
bug description and supply additional information.
|
|
|
|
If your bug has not been reported yet, file a bug report ("opening a
|
|
mantis"). Useful information to include:
|
|
* description of what went wrong
|
|
* stack trace
|
|
* OpenSim.log (attach as file)
|
|
* OpenSim.ini (attach as file)
|
|
* if running under mono: run OpenSim.exe with the "--debug" flag:
|
|
|
|
mono --debug OpenSim.exe
|
|
|
|
== More Information on OpenSim ==

More extensive information on building, running, and configuring
|
|
OpenSim, as well as how to report bugs, and participate in the OpenSim
|
|
project can always be found at http://opensimulator.org.
