The OpenSimulator Wiki is the official documentation resource for the OpenSimulator project and is regarded as the definitive source of technical information for users, builders, developers and grid owners. Whether you are installing OpenSim for the first time or administering a large multi-region grid, the Wiki contains an extensive collection of guides, tutorials and reference material covering every aspect of the platform.
The documentation includes detailed information on installing OpenSim under both Windows and Linux, configuring standalone and grid installations, setting up Hypergrid connectivity, managing databases, creating regions, restoring OAR and IAR archives, terrain editing, permissions, estate management and performance optimisation. It also provides explanations of the numerous configuration files that control how OpenSim operates.
For content creators and scripters, the Wiki contains comprehensive references for both Linden Scripting Language (LSL) and OpenSimulator Scripting Language (OSSL). Individual functions are documented with descriptions, parameters and examples, making it an invaluable reference when developing interactive objects or troubleshooting scripts. Developers can also find technical information relating to APIs, modules and advanced server configuration.
One of the greatest strengths of the OpenSimulator Wiki is that it continues to evolve alongside the OpenSim project. New features, configuration options and scripting functions are regularly documented, ensuring that users have access to accurate and up-to-date technical information directly from the OpenSimulator community.
Although the Wiki is primarily a technical reference rather than a beginner’s tutorial, it remains an essential bookmark for anyone serious about learning OpenSim. Whether you are building regions, writing scripts, hosting your own grid or simply looking for answers to technical questions, the OpenSimulator Wiki is one of the most valuable resources available.
