<p style="line-height: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em;">Before we get gotten, I hold a couple of things you should do note of before keeping.</p>
<p style="line-height: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em;">If you already hold your OpenSim running from the old directions, you &#8216;re running on SQLite, which holds some performance issues as you &#8216;ve likelily already noticed. If you hold any body-builds the least bit, you &#8216;ll desire to export them to the xml formatting before making any of the stairs beneath. </p>
<p style="line-height: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em;">Because of the developing province of the xml specification, I ca n&#8217;t personally vouch that every texture and such will get on your body-build, but you should at the really least hold all the objects therein part relieved. This is the nature of package such as OpenSim, things germinate promptly! Make n&#8217;t worry about it overmuchly, though.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span>What is OpenSimulator? </span></h3>
<p>OpenSimulator is a 3D Application Server. It can be used to create a virtual  environment (or world) which can be accessed through a variety of clients, on  multiple protocols. OpenSimulator allows you to develop your environment using  the technologies you feel work best &#8211; we&#8217;ve designed the software to be easily  extendable through <a title="Getting Started with Region Modules" href="/wiki/Getting_Started_with_Region_Modules">loadable modules</a> to build  completely custom configurations. OpenSimulator is released under a <a title="BSD License" href="/wiki/BSD_License">BSD License</a>, making it both  open source, and commercially friendly to embed in products.</p>
<p>Out of the box, OpenSimulator can be used to simulate a virtual environment  similar to Second Life™ (including client compatibility). Other environments,  protocols and features are supported via add on modules. For a list of available  modules check out our <a title="http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/" rel="nofollow" href="http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/">forge site</a>.</p>
<p>Although OpenSimulator is still considered <strong>alpha software</strong>, many people  are <a title="http://technorati.com/search/opensim?authority=a4&amp;language=en" rel="nofollow" href="http://technorati.com/search/opensim?authority=a4&amp;language=en">doing exciting things with it</a>.</p>
<p><a name="Features"></a></p>
<h3><span>Features </span></h3>
<p>Even though OpenSimulator is relatively young software it already has many  useful features</p>
<ul>
<li>Supports creating multiple &#8216;worlds&#8217; in a single application instance.</li>
<li>Supports multiple clients and protocols &#8211; access the same world at the same  time via multiple protocols.</li>
<li>Extensive ability to customize your avatar, both with custom clothing,  skins, and attached objects.</li>
<li>Realtime Physics Simulation, with multiple engine options including ODE,  PhysX, Bullet and more.</li>
<li>The ability to create content real time in the environment using in world  building tools. What you see is what you get.</li>
<li>In world application development using a number of different languages,  including LSL/OSSL, C#, JScript and VB.NET</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="Using_OpenSimulator"></a></p>
<h3><span>Using OpenSimulator </span></h3>
<p>The fastest way to get started using OpenSimulator is to create an account on  <a title="http://osgrid.org" rel="nofollow" href="http://osgrid.org/">OSGrid</a>, then download the <a title="http://opensim-viewer.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow" href="http://opensim-viewer.sourceforge.net/">Hippo Viewer</a> or  <a title="http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php" rel="nofollow" href="http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php">Linden Lab&#8217;s  Second Life viewer</a> (amongst others) to connect to OSGrid. This process  should take no longer than 10 minutes, and will give you a flavor for what  OpenSimulator is like.</p>
<p>You can also easily connect to any one of the many <a title="Grid List" href="/wiki/Grid_List">public grids</a> on the internet.</p>
<p>Or you could run a simple standalone OpenSim on your Windows desktop to  create and preview content. <a title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8fwqdaCTrc" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8fwqdaCTrc">Here is a  tutorial showing how to get opensimulator running in stand-alone mode.</a>.</p>
