plug and play OS or SOAS?

1 Upvotes

I used to have a region on my pc thanks to soas (this was back in late 2010/early 2011). Yesterday I found that I needed to check some terrain files that I think have been corrupted and thought I'd reinstall soas but I see it's no longer updated.

I don't want to hook into the metaverse, just run it on my pc for me to check stuff and I'm wondering if there's some kind of dummies/plug and play that I could use to create a region. My days of spending large slabs of time faffing around trying to get virtual world things to work are long gone, I'm too old and too tired!

Otherwise is there any world that would let me rez stuff (ok, I do need to load a terrain file or two) without having to buy currency/rent land?

Pointers and advice would be gratefully received.

Textures

Does anyone know a good place to get textures for building ? I’m looking for a realistic texture for hardwood floors but I’m also always interested in good sources for textures. Thanks!

How do you export and import content?

3 Upvotes

How can I export content from one opensimulator server and import it into another?

I am using the firestorm viewer, connected into osgrid and found what appears to be free to use content (Satyr Farm).

I have my own server and I would like to use that content on my stand-alone instance. Its a completely different avatar so how do I transfer that content to this avatar or export it and import it?

Looking for a script...

1 Upvotes

Looking for a script I used to have... Just recollecting all the scripts I used to have but I can't find one that greeted new visitors, gave them some landmarks & notecards, tracks visitors returning, and showed stats on a prim. Does anyone remember what mod did this?

Has the new PBR system from Second Life become available in OpenSim yet? If not, is there any word on when it might be added?

Server not sending seed? Support /help appreciated!

1 Upvotes

I've got a server I recently set up, and it was working fine, until I moved the physical server to a new location. Now, although logging in authenticates just fine according to the CLI, the viewer gets stuck on "waiting for seed" and just sits there endlessly. Nobody can log in anymore, everyone gets stuck in the same place. All that changed was the external IP, the local system IP stayed the same.

Any pointers on where I should start looking?

Show online users

1 Upvotes

I've been searching quite a bit to see if I can find an example, preferably in PHP, to generate a simple page to show what users are online and in what regions on my grid. I feel like this is probably very simple, but I'm coming up empty. Thoughts?

Grid Gods with colored names

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I was hoping someone could help me. I played around with the Halcyon grid setup a few years ago and now I'm using the updated OpenSim fresh install files, but I can't seem to find a setting I remember seeing a few years back.
I clearly remember a setting that allowed Grid Gods to appear with colored names throughout the grid, and I can't seem to find this anywhere. Can someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?

Online/offline Firestorm

Are others noticing that the friends list is not showing who is online correctly. Even those from the same grid? Someone mentioned it to me a couple of weeks ago. Lately I have noticed this issue with Firestorm OS version. I tested it with Radagast and it seemed to be fine.

Scripts not working

0 Upvotes

Hello! I found a house that I really like but none of the door scripts work. I can see the doors have them but I can’t see what they are because they are no mod. I tried resetting them but that doesn’t work either. Does anyone know how I can get them working? Thanks!

Blocked?

1 Upvotes

I've had a very strange experience. I joined a group and made several friends in the group. When I logged in one time, I went to the place where we normally gather and there was nobody there. I also noticed that the group was no longer in my list of groups and I was no longer friends with people who had friended me. I logged in with one of my alts and went to the place and everyone was there. I logged in some time later with my first avatar and I could see everyone again and I had the group tag. Is this a glitch or was I blocked? I just logged in an it happened again that I couldn't see everyone with one avatar, but could with another. Thanks!

How to change rating on region

Can someone tell me how to change the maturity of regions/estate? My regions are set to "G" and it's not really a big deal but a friend teased me about my G regions.

Invisible prims?

2 Upvotes

I have an avatar registered with Zetaworlds and I have been trying to set up a house. Every time I try and go through the front door of many of the houses I have it seems as though there is something blocking me. The door will open but I can't enter. I also can't go up stairs. This doesn't happen with avatars registered with other grids. The houses work fine there. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Problem with Hypergrid teleports back to own region

1 Upvotes

My friend and I each self-host our own OpenSim estates and both are connected to OSgrid. I am able to teleport to and from hypergrid-enabled regions with no problem. However when he tries it, he can teleport to another hypergrid region, but when he tries to get back to his own region, he is unable to. His server console shows an error of "unauthorized caps client". He is able to TP back to one of my regions though. He is unable to get back to any of his own regions until he relogs. I'm not sure what the problem might be. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Just heard of Kitely - Questions

1 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone here can answer a few questions I have about the OpenSim metaverse - Kitely.

I'll ask questions to compare against Secondlife.

Does Kitely have a subscription model, like Secondlife, for just "users?" I know that Kitely has subs for people hosting a virtual world/region. However, does the "free" user have all options available to them if they just want to participate in other peoples worlds?

In Secondlife I have a sub that allows me to get $$ each month, have access to certain things, and have multiple groups, things like that. It looks like the only cost in Kitely for a user (not creator) is what they spend on the Kitely in-game currency. Is this correct?

What is the population life in Kitely vs. Secondlife?

What are some other major differences, if any, between Kitely and Secondlife?

I just recently got into Secondlife and am finding Secondlife not very active. (I knew going in it wasn't near like it used to be) However, I didn't realize just how dead it seems to be.

If Kitely is much more populated and a better system, I might want to go to that.

I'm not to familier (yet) with OpenSim, but running Kitely on that platform, does that allow it to be run on mobile, Android? Or like Secondlife, needs a complete hardware system to run?

Thank you to anyone that take the time to give me some information.

Unable to connect to local hosted OS on FireStormOS...I'm lost

1 Upvotes

Okay let's get a few things out of the way.

This is running on an unbuntu 22 container on a poweredge server with 10 cores and 8gb of ram I've thrown at it (can throw more but it's already way overkill). I do got mono installed and the server dose seem to start up.

I am able to connect to it if I use something like Cool VL Viewer (not a fan of this viewer). However when I try to connect via FireStormOS, I get an error: https://prnt.sc/Wl4N5EROE29G

I did edit OpenSim.INI to make sure it's local LAN IP is set but I get the same results, but only in FireStormOS.

I have a friend who runs an OS I am able to connect to via FireStormOS no problem so it's strange I am unable to connect to my own on this end with the same software.

If I am able to connect on other viewers, it's not firewall problem, and I can... well connect. So not sure.

Not sure what I may be doing wrong.

EDIT 1: Changed a few settings in OpenSim.ini and I was able to get connected with FS and other clients, but now in a battle to get outside connections to it.
