If you want more land in SL, it is going to cost you more. A lot more. With realXtend, you can add more land mass with a few clicks. For free (actually you need to have necessary machinery and bandwidth available, so it is not so free).
Test User found a huge carbon footprint when he was checking his world: “No wonder that we are getting climate change - I am going to do only virtual meetings to cut my travel - and I don’t want to meet the guy who did that.”
rexServer 0.4 comes with the default fish world, which is only one region. Download blank server from CTN files before trying the instructions here (Thanks to Peter Quirk for the original instructions).
Copy the default.xml to myregion_east.xml. Edit myregion_east.xml in the following ways:
- change the sim_name to something else, preferably without spaces. Let’s call it myregion_east for this example.
- get a new GUID from http://www.guidgenerator.com/online-guid-generator.aspx and plug it into the sim_UUID field.
- set the sim_location_x value to 1001 so the new region appears directly to the right of the default region on the map.
- set the internal_ip_port value to 9001 (the port needs to be different for every xml file)
- start the rexserver processes
When the opensim.exe process reports that the server is up and serving two regions, type the following in the opensim DOS window (Opensim console):
change-region myregion_east
terrain fill 21
terrain bake
It is especially exciting to have your rexviewer connected as you get to see terrain changes in real time. It may give you a god-like feeling (or goddess-like depending on your preferences). Use command “terrain help” at the console to get some useful commands to make further experiments. Download the terrain file used in the screenshot - you need to adjust the height with terrain commands to get some water to the footprint.
