Hi everyone, I am now at a point where the current grid vs standalone issue, along with the communications dlls that go with it, is a major obstacle to progress. Been thinking about this for the past 3 weeks, and I now have a vision of what we could do; details are still up for discussion...
Basically, the formulation "grid vs. standalone" is a packaged division that needs to be unpacked. What's really going on is "local vs remote services" -- this formulation being as old as distributed computing came around. So - let me start from the top, because it tells the story (refer to http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Virtual_World_Model). Below is a draft of what OpenSim.ini could look like. Thoughts? ------------------------------------------------------ [RegionResourceServices] grid_server_url = "http://192.168.1.101:9000"; grid_send_key = "null" grid_recv_key = "null" ; are we to optimize for a standalone grid?
