If n > 1 for RootTerseUpdatePeriod only every n terse update is actually sent to observers on same region, unless velocity is effectively zero (to stop av drift).
If n > 1 for ChildTerseUpdatePeriod only every n terse update is sent to observers in other regions, unless velocity is effectively zero.
Defaults are same as before (all packets are sent).
Tradeoff is reduction of UDP traffic vs fidelity of observed av mvmt.
Increasing n > 1 leads to jerky observed mvmt immediateley for root, though not on child, where experimentally have gone to n = 4 before jerkiness is noticeable.
Experimentally, on the Linden Lab grid the avatar can rotate slightly before triggering AvatarUpdates, whereas this is practically impossible in OpenSimulator.
These updates allow other avatars to see rotations, though sensitivity is low since other avatars can only be seen in one of 8 body rotations.
This commit changes sensitivity from 0.01 to 0.1, which better matches LL and reduces UDP traffic which has a beneficial impact on network and CPU load.
This has no impact on rotations in the simulator itself so simulation fidelity is the same as before.
To change this setting back for test/other purposes, edit RootRotationUpdateTolerance in the [InterestManagement] section of OpenSim.ini
These govern when AgentUpdates are sent to observers on position, rotation and velocity changes to an avatar (including the avatar themselves).
Higher values reduce AgentUpdate traffic but at a certain level will degrade smoothness of avatar and perceived avatar movement.
This is to fix an issue since recent commit fbcb763 where these are no longer removed automatically.
OpenSim.*.config was already not appending these newlines
This is to allow us to get useful information on messaging without being overwhelmed by the rest of groups debug.
Enabled with [Groups] DebugMessagingEnabled = true in config (default false)
Or "debug groups messaging verbose true|false on the console" (similar to existing groups setting).
Done for both xmlrpc and V2 groups.
are kept on another. When users rez items from inventory or take objects from world, an HG-like asset copy takes place between the 2 servers, the world asset server and the user's asset server. This makes the simulators independent of the central asset server.
Note that this an advanced configuration and requires some security strengthening coming up.
config option, LogOverloads, to log when a thread pool overload occurs.
This option defaults to "True" because the logging data is useful for
diagnosing threading issues.
a capsule. Set the default to be the rectangle shape and adjust the
parameters in OpenSimDefaults.ini for the new shape.
The rectangle shape will perform better and avatar height can be
computed more accurately.
One reason support was removed is that the external DLL that implemented Javascript stopped development.
Not sure how well this ever worked in OpenSimulator.
Not removing vb for now as this is directly supported by Mono (via vbnc compiler) though I strongly suspect it is also inoperable.
