Comments on: OpenSim is the future, and the HyperGrid is part of it http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/hypergrid/opensim-is-the-future-and-the-hypergrid-is-part-of-it/ Virtual Worlds and Beyond Wed, 29 Apr 2020 13:46:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.32 By: Maria Korolov http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/hypergrid/opensim-is-the-future-and-the-hypergrid-is-part-of-it/#comment-8 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:27:38 +0000 http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/?p=19#comment-8 Thanks for the link! Since I first interviewed you (here: http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2009/05/hypergrid-101-why-its-good-for-business/) I’ve set up my own grid at grid.tromblyltd.com:9100 (well, it’s a one-region standalone, actually) that my employees, business partners and I get to by hypergrid teleporting from OSGrid and ReactionGrid. We’ve also set up a little hypergrid starport at the Hypergrid Business region of the OSGrid.

I’ve also set up two hypergrid-enabled regions for my family members to play on, which live on an old family computer that was otherwise unused.

We’ve been able to bring over a lot of (full perm!) objects that we got on other grids in order to furnish our regions. Lately though, we’ve been seeing some intermittent problems rezzing objects that originated on other grids. I assume that’s going to be resolved as OpenSim gets more stable and less buggy.

Here’s my wishlist of things to see in hypergrid (some are client issues):

* An address bar at the top of the browser.
* No more 4096 limit for teleports! (Well, this isn’t just a hypergrid issue!)
* The ability to type in a logical hypergrid address. For example, the hypergrid address for LBSA Plaza on OSGrid is now plaza02.osgrid.org:9102. It would be nice to type in osgrid.org:8002:LBSA Plaza. Or, better yet, osgrid.org:LBSA Plaza

Finally, if any one region on a grid is hypergrid-enabled then the entire grid is effectively hypergrid enabled — all it requires is an extra hop through the hypergrid-enabled region to get anywhere. Why is the decision of whether to hypergrid-enable or not being made at the region level rather than at the grid level?

Meanwhile, I’ve got to stay that I love the hypergrid, and so do my staff and business partners. The hypergrid is the reason that I’m on OpenSim — and why most people I know are coming to OpenSim rather than any of the other virtual world platforms.

Thank you for all your amazing work on this!
