configurable. Previously, estate managers could enter god mode, but would
not have any powers. Now estate managers can enter god mode only if this
option is true, and then will have real god powers.
This switch allows scripts to pass messages to modules via the modSendCommand() function
Modules can then send messages back to scripts via the link_message LSL event through
invoking DispatchReply() on OpenSim.Region.Framework.Interfaces.IScriptModuleComms
* Adds a configurable maximum object mass before the mass is clamped. Default is 10000.01. Configurable by changing maximum_mass_object in the [ODEPhysicsSettings] section.
* Clamping the mass is important for limiting the amount of CPU an object can consume in physics calculations. Too high, and the object overcomes restitution forces by gravity alone. This generates more collisions potentially leading to 'deep think'.
having this enabled results just in warning messages if no message service is actually available
haivng this disabled results in an unexpected failure if no message service is available
This appears to now give better ODE physics response (less sinking into the ground, etc.)
Please change it back if this is actually a bad idea for some reason
* Fixing a bug where the max burst rate for the state category was being set as unlimited, causing connections to child agents to saturate bandwidth
* Upped the example default drip rates to 1000 bytes/sec, the minimum granularity for the token buckets
* Hip offset should have been added not subtracted (it's a negative offset). This puts avatar feet closer to the ground
* Improved duplicate checking for terse updates. This should reduce bandwidth and walking through walls
* Added contacts_per_collision to the ODE config section. This allows you to reduce the maximum number of contact points ODE will generate per collision and reduce the size of the array that stores contact structures
* Commenting out the MySQL startup sequence that cleans out dropped attachments under the advice that it is no longer relevant. If anything, it could be brought back as a database cleanup console command
* Updated to the latest libomv 0.8.0-pre. UUID.TryParse() will no longer throw and catch exceptions for most failed UUID parses
* Added a new [Startup] config option called use_async_when_possible to signal how to run operations that could be either sync or async
* Changed Scene.ForEachClient to respect use_async_when_possible
* Fixing a potential deadlock in Parallel.ForEach by locking on a temporary object instead of the enumerator (which may be shared across multiple invocations on ForEach). Thank you diva
* Avoid allocating an Action<IClientAPI> object every round of the OutgoingPacketHandler
* Removed unnecessary semi-colon endings from OpenSim.ini.example [InterestManagement] section
* Only initialize Util's SmartThreadPool if it is actually being used
* No longer initializing Util's SmartThreadPool with a custom max stack size. From MSDN: "Avoid using this constructor overload. The default stack size used by the Thread(ThreadStart) constructor overload is the recommended stack size for threads."
* Changed Util.FireAndForget() to use any of five different methods set with async_call_method in the [Startup] section of OpenSim.ini. Look at the example config for possible values
