UPDATE – Release changes for OSgrid OpenSimulator 0.7.3.dev.eea726d

Hello everyone,

I have posted a new version of OSgrid Simulator release on the website today, there are some important changes that you should be aware of before upgrading to make sure you retain 100% functionality.

The main changes are to the GridCommon.ini . the following section needs to be added, see the link for fully updated GridCommon.ini


GridCommon.ini Changes
———————————————–

[GridInfo]
   ;
   ; Change this to your grid info service
   ;
   GridInfoURI = "http://hg.osgrid.org:80"

———————————————–

The above changes to GridCommon.ini are not required, this is a new addition to the OSgrid GridCommon.ini and what it does is allow the following OSSL functions osGetGridName, osGetGridNick, osGetGridLoginURI to function as intended in grid mode. This section goes below the [InventoryService] section and just above the [GridService] sections.

The changes to the OpenSim.ini are also not required I have simply just brought the OSgrid release OpenSim.ini to be inline with the Core OpenSimulator OpenSim.ini.example file so that we can provide the best level of support to the core development team in terms of debugging. While these changes are not required we do recommend you take the time to bring your configurations up to date to insure you are getting the maximum compatibility from this and future OpenSimulator releases.

If you have any questions or need help with this update please join us on our IRC chat channel at irc.freenode.net #osgrid or you can use the web chat

Good luck everyone,

UPDATE – Release changes for OSgrid OpenSimulator 0.7.3.dev.43173f1

Hello Everyone,
This new release now has a major overhaul to the GridCommon.ini GridCommon.ini :

You are going to basically want to replace everything below the [DatabaseService] starting with [Modules] section.

—————————————

[DatabaseService]
    ;
    ; ### Choose the DB
    ;

    ; SQLite
    Include-Storage = "config-include/storage/SQLiteStandalone.ini";

    ; Unfortunately the current SQLite database plugin is not compatible with Mac OSX.  You can still use the older
    ; legacy sqlite library if you are using Mono 2.4.  Please see the notes in OpenSim.ini (search for sqlite)
    ; for more details
    ;Include-Storage = "config-include/storage/SQLiteLegacyStandalone.ini";

    ; MySql  
    ; Uncomment these lines if you want to use mysql storage 
    ; Change the connection string to your db details
    ;StorageProvider = "OpenSim.Data.MySQL.dll"
    ;ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhost;Database=opensim;User ID=opensim;Password=***;"

[Profile]
    ; Change it to your own HTTP server to have the Profile server work
    ProfileURL = http://profiles.osgrid.org/profile.php

—————————————

These changes are to bring the OSgrid version of this file inline with the Core OpenSimulator version for better support and ease of understanding.

We have also updated the osProfiles module to now better support HG profiles, you will need to download the new osProfile DLL if you are compiling OpenSimulator yourself, if you use our release it is already included and you do not have to do anything, to download the new DLL click here OpenSimProfile.Modules.dll

You can download the latest release here : osgrid.opensim-01142012.v0.7.3.43173f1.zip

UPDATE – Release changes for OSgrid OpenSimulator 0.7.3.dev.34c42cd

Hello Everyone,
This new release now has an UPDATED cap enabled for Inventory over HTTP for v2 and v3 viewers and requires changes to your OpenSim.ini :

Replace the following section

—————————————

[ClientStack.LindenCaps]
    ;; For the long list of capabilities, see OpenSimDefaults.ini
    ;; Here are the few ones you may want to change. Possible values
    ;; are:
    ;;   "" -- empty, capability disabled
    ;;   "localhost" -- capability enabled and served by the simulator
    ;;   "" -- capability enabled and served by some other server
    ;;
    ; These are enabled by default to localhost. Change if you see fit.
    Cap_GetTexture = "localhost"
    Cap_GetMesh = "localhost"
    ; This is disabled by default. Change if you see fit. Note that
    ; serving this cap from the simulators may lead to poor performace.
    Cap_FetchInventoryDescendents2 = "localhost"	
    Cap_FetchInventory2 = "localhost"

—————————————

be very sure you remove the following from this section if you have it

    Cap_WebFetchInventoryDescendents = "localhost"

and this is the new addition to that section

    Cap_FetchInventory2 = "localhost"

This new addition should improve inventory loading performance for all V2/V3 viewers and fix inventory not loading fully in Imprudence viewer and could improve overall performance for your simulators.

we have also updated the osProfiles module to now support HG profiles, you will need to download the new osProfile DLL if you are compiling OpenSimulator yourself, if you use our release it is already included and you do not have to do anything, to download the new DLL click here OpenSimProfile.Modules.dll

You can download the latest release here : osgrid.opensim-01092012.v0.7.3.34c42cd.zip

IMPORTANT : New .ini changes in 06-16-2011 release

Hello everyone,

I have posted a new version of OSgrid Simulator release on the website today, there are some important changes that you should be aware of before upgrading to make sure you retain 100% functionality.

The main changes are to the GridCommon.ini and the OpenSim.ini. the follow section needs to be updated, see the link for fully updated GridCommon.ini and OpenSim.ini


OpenSim.ini Changes
———————————————–

[RegionReady]
    ; Enable this module to get notified once all items and scripts in the region have been completely loaded and compiled
    ; default is false
    enabled = true

    ; Channel on which to signal region readiness through a message
    ; formatted as follows: "{server_startup|oar_file_load},{0|1},n,[oar error]"
    ; - the first field indicating whether this is an initial server startup
    ; - the second field is a number indicating whether the OAR file loaded ok (1 == ok, 0 == error)
    ; - the third field is a number indicating how many scripts failed to compile
    ; - "oar error" if supplied, provides the error message from the OAR load
    channel_notify = -800
    ; - disallow logins while scripts are loading
    login_disable = true
    ; - send an alert as json to a service
    ; alert_uri = "http://myappserver.net/my_handler/"

———————————————–

The above changes to OpenSim.ini are not required, this is a new addition to the OSgrid OpenSim.ini and what it does is disables the ability for users to log into your simulator until scripts are completely loaded, this can improve performance especially after a sim crash when everyone is clamoring to log back into your sim which can result in a simulator crash if scripts are still starting up, again this is not a required update be we highly recommend you add this to your configuration for best performance.


GridCommon.ini Changes
———————————————–

[MapImageService]
   	MapImageServerURI = "http://maptiles.osgrid.org:80"

———————————————–

The above changes to GridCommon.ini are required for users who wish to use the Linden Lab v2 or TPV based V2 Viewers so you can see map tiles on the in world map system, you will only be able to see tiles on regions that have been upgraded and have added this variable to their GridCommon.ini file. So please do not panic when you do not see a full map it will likely take a few weeks for everyone to take notice of these changes and get their simulators fully updated. If you see your neighbors have not updated yet and you know how to reach them please let them know it is time to update.

If you have any questions or need help with this update please join us on our IRC chat channel at irc.freenode.net #osgrid or you can use the web chat

Good luck everyone,

.ini changes and Hypergrid for osgrid

Hello everyone,

I have posted another new release and there are some changes I would like to highlight in this new version. Because of some of the recent advancements with hypergrid I have decided to automatically enable Hypergrid in the newest release and we recommend everyone do the same to widen the already popular hypergrid, this is not required but it will help with testing and further advance hypergrid stability and make traversing many grids and standalones much easier for you and your guests. Below are some of the changes in the new OpenSim.ini which i also took the time to clean up and bring more in-line with the default OpenSimulator version.

————————–

[PrimLimitsModule]
    ;# {EnforcePrimLimits} {} {Enforce parcel prim limits} {true false} false
    ;; Enable parcel prim limits.  Off by default to emulate pre-existing behavior.
    EnforcePrimLimits = true

[Architecture]	
    Include-Architecture = "config-include/GridHypergrid.ini"

————————–

I have also decided to enable toe EnforcePrimLimits feature, which is not required, but will help you manage your sims better if you are so interested in doing, you can increase the prim limit of your simulators by adding the following in your Regions.ini

————————–

MaxPrims = 45000

————————–

Even though these changes are not required, we do recommend that everyone update to one of the two last releases posted on the website in the downloads section as there are issues with teleporting from non-HG regions to HG regions on previous releases and this should alleviate those issues. If you have any questions or need assistance with upgrading please visit us on our IRC channel at irc.freenode.net #osgrid or use the web chat.

Good Luck everyone.

24 Hours of Downtime starting Sunday June 19th 9pm PDT

Hello everyone,

This coming Sunday, June 19th at 9pm PDT (12am Eastern USA June 20th, Monday) for approximately 24 hours the grid will be down to undergo upgrades and database maintenance, we will be moving the website and grid services (ROBUST) onto new hardware. We will also be converting some of the back end databases to a new storage engine. There is no need to shut your simulators down though they will not be accessible, if you wish to avoid constant spewing of errors on your simulator consoles we recommend you end task on the simulator (ctrl+c) but we do not recommend doing a proper shutdown as this will remove your region from the grid database and you could potentially loose your space. We also recommend that you take the time this week to create backup files of your simulators and potentially your inventory via OAR and IAR backups. If you require assistance please join us on our IRC chat channel at irc.freenode.net or use the web chat here. To get the most current updates please follow us at our twitter account http://twitter.com/osgrid.

Thanks everyone

IMPORTANT : New .ini changes in 06-02-2011 release

Hello everyone,

I have posted a new version of OSgrid Simulator release on the website today, there are some important changes that you should be aware of before upgrading to make sure you retain 100% functionality.

The main changes are to the GridCommon.ini the follow sections need to be added see the link for fully updated GridCommon.ini

———————————————–

[UserAgentService]
    ;
    ; === HG ONLY ===
    ; Change this to your user agent server (HG robust)
    ;
    UserAgentServerURI = "http://hg.osgrid.org:80"

[Messaging]
    ; === HG ONLY ===
    ;; change this to the address of your Gatekeeper service
    ;; (usually bundled with the rest of the services in one

[Profile]
    ; Change it to your own HTTP server to have the Profile server work

———————————————–

You should also remove the [Profile] section from your OpenSim.ini as it is now been moved into the GridCommon.ini as you can see above, this is not mandatory but will cause less confusion later.

These are the only changes to the ini files that you need to make for this update.  The update will facilitate the ability to friend HG visitors you will be able to send them IM’s and Inventory.

If you have any questions or run into any issues during this upgrade please visit us on our IRC support channel at irc.freenode.net #osgrid or use our web chat.

Good Luck everyone.
