Let me try Chris. Othere can correct me if I am wrong on any point.
The first thing to understudying is that the HG arrangements have
been altereing across 0.6.9, 0.7.10, 0.7.1 and its minor variants, so
soem are NOT at all compatible and you cannot jump from one to
another. There have also been changes to the string used to
dfescribe a HG location in osAentTeleport, and the map type in box...
but old versions are still supported in the current dev releases. I
will restrict myself here to answers from a 0.7.2 Dev perspective as
we are now at 0.7.2 RC2 and it sjhoud soon be the ofiocial stable release.

QUESTION 1: I understand Diva is encouraging everyone to relocate their
sims to centers less than 4096,4096 and I understand why based on this blog
post - The 4096 "Bug": http://metaverseink.com/blog/?p=222 It appears many
people are NOT changing their coords to the lower centers, is there a reason
why? If I'm reading Diva's post correctly, the limitation is not going to
go away any time soon so I'm wondering why folks aren't changing them to
make hypergridding easier for travelers.. I haven't changed them on
FleepGrid yet either (9000,9000) and trying to decide what's the best course
to take both for FleepGrid and for the University of Cincinnati grid we're
about to install.
For same reason you have not changed others have not I expect.... it
is work for one grid run by one group, imaging something like, OSGrid
with thousands of region owners and computers. Some of us have
been suggesting that a waning "are you sure you want to go above
4096,4096" warning be given in the console when a region is created
to gently encourage people not to make more new regions above that.
QUESTION 2: If people aren't going to change to lower centers, then don't
we all need to publish the region centers in addition to the HG address in
order for travelers to know whether they can make the jump or not?
YES YES YES.. It is the first question I ask anyone who gives me a HG
address before I try a jump, otherwise how would I know where to jump
from? On our HG gateway regions for hopping up and down grids we
show a map board of how to jump... along with aactive HG
osAgentTeleport items on them that an avatar can click on and go in
one click. see images at http://openvce.net/2011-01-27-opensim-hypergrid
We publish our regions like this:
Visit Openvue via Hypergrid:
http://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002 Openvue (at 1000,1000)
http://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002 Vue-5000 (at 5000,5000)
http://virtual.aiai.ed.ac.uk:8002 Vue-9000 (at 9017,9017)
Vue-hosted Hypergrid Gateways and Regions on OSGrid:
http://hg.osgrid.org:80 Vue-3200 (at 3200,3200)
http://hg.osgrid.org:80 Vue-6400 (at 6400,6400)
http://hg.osgrid.org:80 VCE (at 6400,6399)
We provide an active object on each HG gateway and our core regions
which displays the grid name and
QUESTION 3: I'm completely confused about the correct formatting for a
hypergrid URL. I've seen so many variations!
secondlife://domain.com:8002:RegionName
http://domain.com:8002:RegionName
http://hg.domain.com:8002:RegionName
First does not work for OpenSim in chat in Viewer 2 any longer I believe.
yourdomain.com:port:region continues to work as the old supported format.
http://yourdomain.com:port:region works I think, but was an
intermediate form on the way to the current version with the region
name separated off, and a compulsory http:// on the front to give a
proper URL. (hg.domain.com is just someone using hg in their DNS,
you will see it on hg.osgrid.org:80 - but it could be
myrobustserver.domain.com)
http://domain.com:port Regionname is the currently preferred format.
Use " " round teh region name if it includes a space.
QUESTION 4: FleepGrid is running OpenSim 0.7.1 Release (interface version
7) and FleepGrid Plaza is centered at 9000,9000 currently, but I also have a
Hypergate region at 5000,5000 and 13000,13000. If you're running a
compatible version of opensim and theoretically I SHOULD be able to
hypergrid to your destination, can you reply with the address so I can give
it a try on a known "should work" region? I'm finding so many broken
addresses and links and things I'm going crazy trying to figure out what's
wrong with hypergridding out.
You are asking too limited a question as you are on 0.7.1 and if
other grids are on 0.7.1.1 not 0.7.2 you will not be able to jump
successfully Try a jump to Vue-9000 though as a test. It is running
0.7.2 dev master (effectively the sake as 0.7 RC2). Upgrade to
0.7.1.1 or 0.7.2 RC2 and you should be able to try a jump to Vue-9000
which is at (actually just very near for technical reasons)
9000,9000. And if your firewall and servers are set up jump back home.
