Importing .TGZ Files

[Michael Timeless]

Recently I came across the Zadaroo website, which has several stored "free" worlds. They are stored as .TGZ compressed files. I am reluctant to try to load one of these to a Kitely world but the author claims that he got his assistance from Ilan Tochner.

Are these allowed in Kitely? And will it let me import them? Inquiring minds....

You should be able to load those files directly. The TGZ format (tar/gzip) is the format that OpenSim uses to export and import region contents.

Yep, I imported at tgz file when I first got my region off of that site. Should work.

OK, just went to the site, downloaded the tgz file for the Autumn Castle. I went to "My Worlds", Clicked Manage Worlds, then was taken to the manage world pop up. I clicked The File Tab. Under Replace World, I clicked "Select File" where it says upload oar. I selected the tgz file from my downloads folder and pushed replace world. It prompts that your present world will be erased, uploads the file when you agree and takes a couple minutes to replace the world.




It informed me when it was done, and I logged in to a very temporary new look for my world.



Easy peasy! Note, I am not trying to oversimplify it for you, this post was made with future people in mind that may run into the same question.

I hope that helps.

When it comes to virtual I am always the noob. Something always changes. Thank you Robert that was a great tutorial for all of the future generations (and us baby boomers).
