The Condensation Land Blog

Some people have reported difficulties in uploading stuff to the Condensation Land grid with Second Inventory. Here’s a short guide explaining how to do it. We will assume that you have bought a copy of Second Inventory, installed it, and managed to download your stuff from Second Life to your hard disk.

Step 1: Defining the “Condensation Land” grid.

First of all, we have to define a custom grid for “Condensation Land” — Second Inventory comes preloaded with the most known grids, but Condensation is not one of them. To define Condensation to Second Inventory, we have to:

1.a) Start Second Inventory:

You should get a screen similar to the following:

Don’t attempt to log in at this stage! We have to define Condensation first!

1.b) Press the “Preferences” button

You will get a panel like the following:

1.c) Select the “Custom Grids” tab

You will most probably get an empty list — in my case it shows an entry for the Rezzable Private Grid.

1.d) Press the “Add Grid” button

1.e) Fill in the details

In the “Short name” field, write “Condensation”; in “Grid Name”, “Condensation Land”, in “Login URI”, “http://condensationland.com:9000”; ensure that the “Grid Engine” dropdown has the “Opensim” option selected; leave all the remaining fields as per their default (as shown in the image).

1.f) Press “Confirm”

You will get back to the “Custom grids” panel, which will now show a new entry for Condensation Land.

1.g) Press the “Close” button

We are now back to the main Second Inventory screen:

Now we can try to connect to Condensation Land.

Step 2: Connecting to the Condensation Land grid

2.a) Selecting “Condensation Land”

Click the “Grid” dropdown. You will see a new entry reading “Condensation Land” (at the end). Select it:

2.b) Fill in your log in details

Enter your avatar name (if you’re using the multi-avatar version) and your password for the Condensation Land grid (not your Second Life password). Choose your start location if you wish.

2.c) Press the “Connect” button

After some seconds you will be connected to the Condensation Land grid!

Step 3: Upload your stuff to the Condensation Land grid

3.a) Select an item you want to upload

Click your avatar name in the “RL inventory” tab — a small “+” sign will appear. Click it. You will see an inventory with the stuff you have transferred. Click the small “+” signs until you have identified the item you want to upload:

3.b) Right click the item, select “Restore”

A new panel will appear:

3.c) Click “Start Restore”

A progress screen will appear, and after a short while you will get a completion report panel:

You can dismiss this panel.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 for all the items you want to upload

Step 5: Log off from Second Inventory

Press the “Disconnect” button, then close the Second Inventory window.

Step 6: Clear your viewer’s cache

If you don’t do that, the items you have just uploaded can take several hours to show in your Condensation Land inventory

That’s it!

You can now log in normally to Condensation Land, and you will find all the stuff you have uploaded in your inventory
