How to Load an OAR in OpenSimulator

Follow these simple steps to get your OpenSimulator region up and running.

Step 1: Prepare Your Region

Ensure your OpenSimulator instance is running and you have sufficient permissions to upload an OAR file.

Step 2: Upload the OAR

Open your OpenSimulator console and switch to the region where you want to load the OAR by typing:

change region YourRegionName
                

Once you are in the correct region, load the OAR file with:

load oar C:/oar/myfile.oar OR C:/oar/myfile.tgz

This will replace your region with everything stored in the OAR, including terrain, objects, and parcel information.

Step 3: Configure Your Region

After the OAR has finished loading, the region will automatically refresh. No additional configuration is required. If you are logged in with a viewer, you may need to re-log or teleport away and come back to see all objects appear correctly.

Step 4: Verify Everything Works

Log in to your simulator and explore the region to make sure all objects and scripts are functioning as expected.
