OSCC13 - OpenSimulator Configuration File World Tour - Justin Clark-Casey
Channel: AvaCon Inc
Date: 2013-09-30

Even if you've only run the base standalone configuration in OpenSimulator, you'll have seen the hundreds of config settings in bin/OpenSim.ini and bin/config-include/StandaloneCommon.ini.  But that's just scratching the surface - there are hundreds more in bin/OpenSimDefaults.ini and the other optional config files, not to mention Robust.ini.  In this presentation, Justin Clark-Casey will take you on a whirlwind tour of the OpenSimulator config landscape, with a view to pointing out sights of particular historical and performance interest.  Gasp at the brutal beauty of AppDomainLoading and OSFunctionThreatLevel in the plains of [XEngine]!  Lose yourself in the desolate wastes of [Startup]!  Relax in the tropical gardens of [AssetCache]!
