2009-01-31 Thread Cristina Videira Lopes
Make sure you have a home region set in your home grid, and that that machine can be accessed from the outside (i.e. must be an external IP /domain name). Then you can always go home with the normal home key combo. (as usual with all TPs currently, make sure to wait 15-20 secs between TPs) Gusta

[Opensim-dev] partially synchronous inventory lookup

2009-01-30 Thread Cristina Videira Lopes
Thanks to being away from my usual development environment, I was able to produce a situation where RequestInventoryForUser always fails for HG TPs, because of an erroneous IP address in some table. Not just inventory lookup fails, but the TP itself sort of fails. This made me look closer to R

Hi, I want to take HG TPs to the next logical step and support dynamic links, that is, the ability for the user to simply click on something like this http://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9003/ and be teleported there from anywhere on the Metaverse. The question is: what should these handles look li

On this topic, I am involved with a company that is doing exactly that -- using virtual worlds (OpenSim in particular) to model urban planning projects. The terraingen tool is part of that, but we're focusing on the dynamics of urban areas, traffic mostly. You can see the beginnings of that in a

Re: [Opensim-dev] Regions larger then 256x256

2009-01-26 Thread Cristina Videira Lopes
It should be possible to have regions larger than 256, at least in multiples of 256. The LL client assumes that as the size, and that is hardocded all over the place (regionhandles etc), so if we continue to use this client we need to live with that; but I strongly suspect it is possible to tr
