OpenSim Notebook 1
From metafuturing
Aug 9 - Installing metaXLR8 Opensim on a Debian server.
Install all "packages and their dependencies are required to run OpenSim on a default Debian 4 netinstall".
Install Physics (Open Dynamics Engine ODE).
Download and build on Debian:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Download (Latest Subversion revision version (bleeding edge)
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OpenSim_Build_Instructions
To avoid the Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: ode copy libode.so from /usr/local/lib to opensim/bin.
Run OpenSim: mono OpenSim exe in opensim.bin.
Connect SL client on Mac:
/Applications/Second\ Life.app/Contents/MacOS/Second\ Life -loginuri http://metaxlr8.com:9000/
Walking on prims with ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) enabled.
Sill no support for hollow prim physics.
Claimed a space on the map for the OpenSim region (16640 16640).
To do:
Make sim permanent (run as screen)
Link to Second Life grid http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Open_Grid_Public_Beta - Download the Open Grid Beta Viewer - Rebuild the OpenSim region with the OGP patch (copy libode.so again after rebuild) - Use the Open Grid Client to Teleport between Region Domains.
Aug 10
Deleted the entire opensim directory to make a clean install from scratch (ODE and the required libraries already installed and working as outlined above).
Downloaded opensim revision 5807 from svn.
Downloaded OGP5767.patch. to opensim directory.
Applied the patch.
sh runprebuild.sh - nant
BUILD SUCCEEDED
NOTE: first apply the patch, then prebuild and build. Otherwise it does not build.
Copied libode.so from /usr/local/lib to opensim/bin.
Set coordinates to 16640 16640, set External Host Name to the IP of the server.
Server ports: http_listener_port = 9000 was already open, opened also remoting_listener_port = 8895.
mono OpenSim.exe
STARTUP COMPLETE
Followed the instructions to download and install the Open Grid viewer and teleport from a LL sim to my external sim.
Teleport successful, picture above.
Checked that "Second Life 1.20.15 (90615) Jul 23 2008 17:58:45 (Open Grid) - You are at 16769.1, 16765.8, 25.9 in metaXLR8 located at oxygen.ativel.com (85.10.225.8:9000)".
This configuration does not permit connecting directly to the sim with the standard viewer as above. To connect directly to the sim with the standard viewer set the coordinates to 1000 1000 in both opensim/bin/OpenSim.ini and opensim/bin/Regions/default.xml.
