Region Debug Console

The Command Console

The command console allows for a handful of region settings to be changed via text commands or http post operations from script.

You must be an estate manager to change the settings.

The console is opened in the viewer by pressing Ctrl-Shift-` (` is the key with the tilde on it (~))

Commands

• Help (Command)

    Help is available for the following commands and topics. Type "help <topic>" for more information.
    Note that all commands are case insensitive.

      Get                 Retrieve the value of a variable.
      Set                 Set the value of a variable.
      Unset               Returns a parameter to its built-in default. (Only available for certain parameters.)
      Parameters          List parameters you are authorized to view or modify.
      Restart             Restart the region after a specified amount of time (default 5mins)

• Get (Command)

    Syntax: get <parameter>

      Retrieve the current value of a simulator or region variable. Note that if the variable was set since the region was restarted, the new value will be returned rather than the value used when the region started. This can be significant for some variables. For more information, see "help <variable>". To retrieve the value of a variable used at startup, use "get -s <variable>".

• Set (Command)

    Syntax: set <variable> <value>

      Sets the value of a simulator or region variable. Note that some variable will not take effect until the region is restarted. This behavior will typically be specified in the parameter's description (see: "help variables")."

      Value Format Examples:
      Integer:  1234 or -435 0xffeb6194
      Float:    -3.4 or 14
      Bool:     [ON/OFF] or [TRUE/FALSE] or [ENABLED/DISABLED]
      Vector:   <1.34, -4.2, 8> in <x, y, z> order.

• Unset (command)

Syntax: unset <parameter>

Sets a parameter to its built-in default. Not all parameters have defaults

• Help Parameters (Command)

    Syntax: help parameters

     You are authorized to access the following parameters in this region:

     allow_return_encroaching_estate_object
     Allow land owners to return an Estate Manager's object that overlaps their land.
     Read/Write

     allow_return_encroaching_object
     Allow land owners to return a regular object that overlaps their land.
     Read/Write

     dynamic_pathfinding
     Enable/Disable pathfinding behaviors and navmesh updates. Requires a restart.
     Read/Write

     lures_obey_telehubs
     If true, teleport lures obey telehubs if they exist.
     Read/Write

     optimize_terrain
     Allows estate managers to disable certain terrain optimizations and is provided only for backward compatibility. Defaults to true (optimization enabled). Requires a terrain edit or sim restart to take effect.
     Read/Write

Note : The above commands are subject to change, so use 'help parameters' to determine the active ccommands for the current region.

• Restart (Command)

    Syntax: restart <minutes>
      Restart the region after a specified amount of time (default 5mins).

Notes: Can only accept positive integers. If used during a active countdown will set the countdown to the specified time. Appears to have no throttling or wait timers. Giving the time "0" will cause the sim to shutdown immediately with no warning except for Second Life closing with a (Region is going down)

Restarts are warned to all clients with a message like this ([AlertMessage] /RESTART_X_MINUTES 5)
