Loading oar into larger region

Post by Johnny Magic »

I would like to move my City Life megaregion (2x2) into a larger region (3X3) or (4x4). I thought this would be possible, is it not? I exported the .oar file and downloaded it. When I tried to create a new 3x3 and upload the .oar, it seemed to be working but got a message that upload failed at some point. I thought the .oar would fill the lower left corner and leave the extra five regions empty. I guess I am wrong. What is the best way to do this? I know I can change the raw files in the remaining five sims once everything is uploaded.

Second question.....I have had no problem exporting my own stuff from SL with Second Inventory but when I try to upload xml files from other sources with Imprudence all I get is a bunch of huge blank prims...what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi Steven,

How big was your file? It's possible that you just had a communication problem during upload. I suggest you try again.

If you upload an OAR file to a bigger world then the regions the OAR file contains will be loaded and the undefined regions will be set as empty flat land slightly above sea level. You can then terraform them if you wish (or use RAW files to do so).

Regarding your second question, most people don't have a problem using Imprudence to move their content between grids so I'm not sure how to help you. Please try creating something from scratch, export it via Imprudence and uploading it back into the same grid. Did that work?

another point to always consider is when exporting/ importing ALWAYS clear cache between grids, this often results in what you mentioned....
