disabling connect to server at launch

Hi Gazebo server always try to connect to server at launch time. and terminates if it do not gets response in 30 seconds. Is there any appropriate way to avoid this behaviour? Can all models be downloaded as a tarball and accessed locally by the gazebo server?

All models can be downloaded from repository via hg clone https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo_models

According to user guide ( http://gazebosim.org/user_guide/started__models__database.html) Gazebo uses two environment variables to find model databases.

 GAZEBO_MODEL_DATABASE_URI

 This is a URI that points to an online
 model database. The default value is
 http://gazebosim.org/models

 GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH

 This is a colon-separated list of  local paths that Gazebo should search  for databases. 
  Each path should point to the directory that contains the  database config. 
  These paths take  precedence over the online URI database.

By modification of these variables, this behavior can be avoided.
