Root region in a Kitely megaregion OAR?

[Dot Matrix]

I saved a Kitely 2x2 Advanced Megaregion OAR, downloaded the result, then used the console on my computer to load it into a SoaS 0.7.6 instance from the root region. The SoaS regions are called Land SW, Land SE, Land NW, Land NE.

A snippet from the console messages:

Code: Select all

Region (root) # load oar 14-12-27-Evensong.oar
10:27:49 - [ARCHIVER]: Loading archive to region Land NE from 14-12-27-Evensong.oar

10:27:49 - [REGION DB MYSQL]: Storing terrain. X=256, Y=256, rev=11
10:27:55 - [ARCHIVER]: Loaded 250 assets and failed to load 0 assets...

In other words, the Kitely OAR loaded into the region one square diagonally up and right from the expected SW root region (and the result was a horrible mess!).

Any ideas, anyone? For example, do I need to further investigate my SoaS settings? Is it to do with ODE (Kitely) versus Bulletsim (SoaS)? Or ...?

Hi Dot,

I doubt physics mode has anything to do with that but if you want to test it out you can change the Kitely world's physics engine in the Advanced tab of that world's Manage World dialog before you export it.

Is your SOAS set up for megaregion mode? If not, please enable it. Alternatively, you can disable Advanced Megaregion mode for your Kitely world before you export it (in the Advanced tab of that world's Manage World dialog).

In any case, Kitely is currently using a newer version of OpenSim than the one you're using with SOAS so it might be prudent to update your SOAS version as well.

Here's how I resolved this issue using my existing SoaS (upgrading to 0.8 isn't an option because I'm using the Mac version of SoaS which hasn't yet been updated):

1 In Kitely, turn off Advanced Megaregion mode before saving the OAR.
2 In the SoaS console, change the region focus explicitly to the SW region before loading the OAR. So the code is:

Code: Select all

change region Land SW
load oar NonAdvancedMega.oar
