Sim Running, Time for Settings
Well we got the sim running, and some how I got the thing working last night to accept connections within the LAN. This is great because now I can start setting up the lands.
It appears I may have to get a router which allows loopback, because although I have a 2Wire 2701HG-B, which is supposed to have loopback capabilities, after days of trying to get it to work, and a few emails to 2Wire tech support, they changed their minds and said that this model DOESN’T support it…
I am going to collect all the console commands and other vital info for running the server and put them on note-cards on the Ubuntu desktop, so I can have them handy.
I replaced the mouse today on the server with a nice Microsoft wheel mouse, in case I need to scroll…the old 2-button mouse from the early 90′s had to go.
I will be working on “Welcome Island” today, making the default island shape, and starting the layout for the island.
I plan on having a welcome center, an education building for learning the basics of Second Life, and the teleport station, where I will place landmarks to each sim on the server.
There will also be a real-estate office there as well for those who wish to purchase land.
I put a second hard drive in the server as well, so we now have 400GB for the server. I have a couple of external drives waiting to be added as well, but there is no point of adding them quite yet.
I will post some pictures once I start building.
