I tweaked Quick Standalone Configuration tool once more, so that it appends just under the [Architecture] header instead of at the bottom of the file. This should prevent it from breaking if someone adds another section under [Architecture] in OpenSim.ini in the future.
It also mentions that they should run OpenSim.exe or OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe, respectively, when it's done (thanks for the note Brianna). Updated Code: http://pastebin.com/gZFZcu9G The zip file is updated also. Still the same location: http://teravus.wmcv.com/googletester/OpenSimQuickConfigureStandalone.zip Regards Teravus On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 1:33 PM, Brianna <[email protected]> wrote: > Very nice that there is an interest in facilitating the noob. > I had the occasion to test this script for a content creator interested in > having a classic standalone local. > > She was tossed out on the initial run because like most was using Win7-64. > A quick IM to double click OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe solved it and all went > well. > > I will take this opportunity to also throw a kudo to the Diva D2 project for > it's support of these goals. > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Teravus Ovares" <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 12:43 AM > To: <[email protected]>; "opensim-dev" > <[email protected]> > Subject: [Opensim-dev] Confusion regarding initial > OpenSimulatorconfiguration. > >> Hey there >> >> In an effort to make OpenSimulator slightly easier to set up for the >> first time with new users. >> >> For new users of OpenSimulator, it's a big hurdle to have to rename >> two files and un-comment the architecture that they want in >> OpenSim.ini.
