The WhiteCore Development Team has moved the original Aurora virtual world server, derived form the OpenSim project, to a new level.

The structure and code base has been heavily revised and is under continual development.

There is a heavy emphasis on supporting all users, increased technology focus and working with other developers, whether it be viewer based developers or server based developers, to develop a set of features that is stable, fast with simplified usability for users.

Windows .Net 4.5

Linux 64 Bit

Also we have the #whitecore-support channel on FreeNode in which people that use WhiteCore tend to be, just ask your question there and someone will be able to answer it for you.

NOTES:

- For those using the master, please report back when you are having issues with the builds. We, the developers, can't test everything and we hope that you, the users, are able to help us report things that break. Please use the Issue Tracker with the predefined text to make it easier to report issues

- The BulletSim physics engine has been updated recently and is an alternative to the Open Dynamics Engine that is used as default. Please try it out and tell us if it's working (or not) properly

- As of Version 0.9.3, it's advised that Linux users install the latest Mono version to avoid some possible resource problems. The current stable version of Mono (as of Aug 2016) is 4.4.2, released Aug 2016

WhiteCore is configured to run 'Out of the Box'. The default configuration is for 'Standalone' mode, uses the embedded SQLite database and is intended for single user testing or development.
For Grid operation or specific tailoring to your requirements, check the documentation.

To see how to configure WhiteCore, look at "Setting up WhiteCore.txt" in the WhiteCoreDocs folder for more information

#####Windows: Run the 'runprebuild.bat' file. This will check you current system configuration, compile the correct Visual Studio 2010 soultion and project files and prompt you to build immediately (if desired)

#####*nix: (Also OSX) Execute the 'runprebuild.sh' from a terminal or console shell. You will be prompted for your desired configuration, the appropriate solution and project files for Mono will be compiled and finally, prompt you to build immediately (if desired)

Alternatively, execute the 'autobuild.sh' script to configure and build WhiteCore to your system specifications.

#####OSX: (Finder) Run the 'runprebuild.command' shell command by 'double clicking' in Finder. You will be prompted for your desired configuration, the appropriate solution and project files for Mono will be compiled and finally, prompt you to build immediately (if desired)

To compile WhiteCore, look at the Compiling.txt in the WhiteCoreDocs folder for more information

*NOTE: For Windows 7 and 8, when compiling, you may see some warnings indicating that the core library does not match what is specified. This is an issue with how Microsoft provides the Net 4.5 packages and can be safely ignored as Windows will actually use the correct library when WhiteCore is run *

If you are having issues logging into your simulator, take a look at http://forums.osgrid.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2082 in the Router Configuration section for more information on ways to resolve this issue.

NOTE: As of Version 0.9.2, the WhiteCore repository format has changed.
The WhiteCore-Optional-Modules repository has also been updated for the new structure. To ensure correct compiling, use the latest commits of the WhiteCore-Dev or a release version >= 0.9.2

Please see the "Updating from a pre 0.9.2 version.txt" file for details on files and configurations that will need to be modified The document can be found in the WhiteCoreDocs directory
