OpenSim Users and Developers
I have written and released a few python scripts that operate on OpenSimulator version 0.8 OAR files. Three of them are simply visualization tools, but the primary effort script (split.py) will operate on a VAR region OAR file, and split it into multiple standard 256 meter region OAR files. VAR regions are very useful, but they have a few shortcomings. We saw that VAR regions do not scale well, and that normal operations (such as maptile generation, or persistence) could make the larger regions unusable for minutes at a time. Unfortunately, OpenSimulator only provides mechanisms for loading a standard oar into a VAR region. I could not find any mechanism for saving a tile out of a VAR region. So I wrote one. The scripts are released under MIT, and are available at https://github.com/M-O-S-E-S/opensim-oar-utilities. I have only tested these internally, so if anyone would be willing to test them, or provide input, it would be appreciated. Feedback and contributions are welcome. I have successfully run it against a 2x2 VAR region and a 6x6 VAR region on the MOSES Grid. Caveats on this version: - The resultant OAR files are currently asset-less. So they should only be loaded into grids where the assets in question already exist, such as the grid containing the original VAR region. - Assets that are off-region (coordinates outside of the 0-256,0-256 coordinate square) are ignored.
