Welcome to OpenSim!
|
|
|
|
=== 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.
|
|
|
|
=== Compiling OpenSim ===
|
|
|
|
Please see BUILDING.txt if you downloaded a source distribution and
|
|
need to build OpenSim before running it.
|
|
|
|
=== Running OpenSim on Windows ===
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you run OpenSim from a command prompt on Windows in order
|
|
to capture any errors, though you can also run it by double-clicking
|
|
bin/OpenSim.exe
|
|
|
|
To run OpenSim from a command prompt
|
|
|
|
* cd to the bin/ directory where you unpacked OpenSim
|
|
* run OpenSim.exe
|
|
|
|
Now see the "Configuring OpenSim" section
|
|
|
|
=== Running OpenSim on Linux ===
|
|
|
|
You will need Mono >= 2.4.2 to run OpenSim. On some Linux distributions you
|
|
may need to install additional packages. See http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Dependencies
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
To run OpenSim, from the unpacked distribution type:
|
|
|
|
* cd bin
|
|
* mono ./OpenSim.exe
|
|
|
|
Now see the "Configuring OpenSim" section
|
|
|
|
=== 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.
|
|
|
|
Before you can log in you will need to create a user account if you didn't already create
|
|
your user as the "Master Avatar" during the region configuration stage. You can do
|
|
this by running the "create user" command on the OpenSim console. This will
|
|
ask you a series of questions such as first name, last name and password.
|
|
|

|
|
|
=== 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). To login, use the
|
|
same avatar details that you gave to the "create user" console command.
|
|
|
|
=== 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
|
|
|
