I'm another one who is considering dumping my Openspace due to the price increases and unknown tech limits which they have still not worked out yet. And yes, I know it's amazing that we seem to be heading into a scenario where LL are increasing the price by a giant amount and reducing the product at the same time. But anyway...................... What software do I need to I may have my own sim (Openspace) running just on my PC at home that I can log into as my private space still without any connection to LL ? At least then I can still have my physical space that I may experiment and built in, and (I guess) could then pull content I make there into SL using some method? Also, is there anyway 1 other person could remotly log into my PC and also be in MY own world with me from time to time? Any advice as to what software I need (Servers and Clients settings/setup) would be most helpful  And just what IS and IS NOT possible regarding this idea. Many Thanks. |

This is what I played around with for awhile before I got bored: Open Simulator http://opensimulator.org/ You'll find most of the answers to your questions there. Kitsy ^.^

There are a number of easy to use local servers available. To name 2, check out 3DX Studio Server and realXtend Server. They both run under Windows and use a straight forward installation. As LL doesn't allow to post links to the growing competition you may have to ask our friend Google to show you the way |

From: Piggie Paule Thanks.
But why did you get bored? One sim + only me = bored. My ISP makes it nearly impossible to access my system from the outside world; so no one else could visit me. T_T You also get a very good impression as to how small a sim really is when you're trapped on one. I probably should update my system and see if anything's changed. Maybe even attempt to setup my own grid of four sims just to see if I can. Kitsy ^.^

OpenSim (not Open Space) is pretty cool in all it's variations.
I got pretty bored too on my own. I built a 9 sim world devoid of life.
Now I just run 1 bare OpenSim region when I need it to test sculpties and textures and animations for upload. That alone is worth having one.
Actually, when I jumped into the sim yesterday it looked like griefers had been partying because I havn't cleaned up in a while and the are bits and pieces of tests everywhere. I even have had to find some clear space to work.
And yeah, plenty of people now run an OpenSim for family and friends only. opensimulator dot org.
