Yesterday I tested the new “Oar merge” by Justin Opensim.
Working in a new 2×2 Diva Distro, it worked fine for most of the bits I wanted to do. I loaded Oar’s in to the 4 regions, starting in Sw region no problem as expected. I deleted a few prims and added a few, did a save Oar, re started the simulator and “load Oar merge” and every thing fine. I did the same with the other 3 regions and all worked just great. When I first load the oar’s I of cause change to the region I want to load the Oar in to.
I only save the Oar in the Sw region and load the “new” oar from SW also. Amazing to see 4 regions grow and develop before your eyes.
As a final step I dropped the new database all together. Started a new fresh 2×2 Diva then loaded my final Oar file the one with the 4 regions from the first Diva 2×2. All worked except the terrain had only persisted in the root region SW. No big deal I loaded the terrain files for the other 3 regions and all is sweet.
The final step was not needed but I wanted to see how it was going to work exporting a megaregion and that worked to 99%.
The Dev’s at opensim keep on doing amazing things Oar’s, megaregions and hypergrid wonderful stuff. Thank you thank you thank you…………
On the wish list:
Would be great if the terrain did persist ( it might I might just have screwed up)
It would be good to be able to save an Oar from a specific region not just as a whole megaregion.
Say if you change “CombineContiguousRegions=true” to false and that acted like a switch reverting the position of prims back to a position in a 256 x256 region.( I am dreaming mmmm )
Over all all this is mighty impressive stuff . It is possible to have a team working in a megaregion. save an Oar every now and then and when things go wrong it is easy to pick up the pieces.
Now what more?? ahh yes “The Mercedes-Benz” no prob I pick it up, thank you , thank you ……..
