Hmm...this won't disrupt the working of my box? Do you do this after every version update -- e.g., did you do it after the April 2009 update?

I've done it with no problem. It's no different than resetting the scripts, really.
In fact, back when they were SLX, they suggested doing it this way sometimes, though I don't know if they have said anything either way recently.
As far as I can tell, the system works entirely off the object names, with the boxes simply telling the server "there is now a box with this and this and this object live here". -Plus, of course, a lot of messaging reliability and security.
I have done it a couple of times, when I remember. I'm not inworld right now to check which version is running. In any case, the system is not hysterical about versions, so I just update every now and then when I get around to it.

Thanks, Tali; I just followed your instructions and it worked fine. They're consistent with the instructions LL posted here: https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=103052 .

Thanks again.

The only reason for setting up more than one Magic Box is redundancy, in case of a sim being down. If you have them in multiple sims, you'll still deliver as long as one of those sims is up.


I keep two rezzed at all times now in two different shoppes in two different sims. Especially after SL bought XStreet, I regularly got messages that an item could not be delivered to a customer. (Never had that issue with OnRez.)

Now with two boxes out, that problem appears to be solved.
