Default off, for the moment, until more testing.
Add separate thread and center-of-mass flags to OpenSimDefaults.ini.
Clean up comments in OpenSimDefaults.ini.
packet can be pulled out of LLClientView and moved to
AvatarFactory. The first pass at reusing textures (turned off by
default) is included. When reusing textures, if the baked textures
from a previous login are still in the asset service (which generally
means that they are in the simulator's cache) then the avatar will not
need to rebake. This is both a performance improvement (specifically
that an avatars baked textures do not need to be sent to other users
who have the old textures cached) and a resource improvement (don't
have to deal with duplicate bakes in the asset service cache).
UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem is so called because it allows the calling code to escalate its security privileges.
However, since we must already trust this code anyway in OpenSimulator this is not an issue.
This option allows the simulator to specify that the cancel button on inter-region teleports should never appear.
This exists because sometimes cancellation will result in a stuck avatar requiring relog.
It may be hard to prevent this due to the protocol design (the LL grid has the same issue)
In small controlled grids where teleport failure is practically impossible it can be better to disable teleport cancellation entirely.
Existing map settings in [Startup] will continue to work, and if present will override anything in [Map]
However, the proper place for such settings would now be [Map]
This is to reduce the use of [Startup] as a bag for non-generic settings which should really go in sections, in common with other settings.
This commit also extends Diva's previous work to allow a default setting to be given when looking at multiple sections for settings.
invisible barriers in sculptie doorways (Mantis 6529).
Bump up level-of-detail for physical meshes to 32 (the max). This
fixes the invisible barriers that showed up in prim cut arches.
NOTE: the default LOD values are removed from OpenSimDefaults.ini.
If you don't change your OpenSimDefaults.ini, you will continue
to see the arch problem.
This setting controls whether scripts are stopped by aborting their threads externally (abort) or by co-operative checks from the compiled script (co-op)
co-op should be more stable but this option is experimental.
If moving from co-op to abort, existing script DLLs will need to be recompiled.
This currently can only be done manually, either by setting DeleteScriptsOnStartup = true for one run
or by deleting the script DLL* files in bin/ScriptEngines/<region-id>/
One can move from co-op back to abort without recompilation, but reverting back to co-op again will need script recompile
Default is 1000, as has previously been the case.
This parameter exists for further debug work concerning mono 2.10 crashes that may be related to locks not being removed on Thread.Abort
This reduces base memory churn of every client connection, improving the garbage collection situation.
The effect is a significant portion of base load (an avatar standing still on a completely blank island)
but will probably still be swallowed up by other memory use on active regions.
Tests have shown no noticeable impact on speed of processing incoming packets, though setting remains
in case a switch back is needed.
Setting this to false will block all restart requests from the viewer even if they are otherwise legitimate.
One use is to block region restarts if necessary whilst restart functionality remains buggy or triggers bugs in modules,
though these should be fixed as soon as practicable.
Default is true, as has been the case historically.
Simple attempt to make avatars better shaped.
Replace parameter 'avatarCapsuleRadius' with 'avatarCapsuleWidth'
and 'avatarCapsuleDepth'.
More tweeking to avatar height calculation. A little better but
short avatar's feet are above the terrain and tall avatar's feet
are a little below the ground.
This retrieves and caches information from the PresenceService to only send messages to online users.
This is reported to much improve performance for large groups where most users are offline.
Cache is 20 seconds to balance requests against users not receiving messages until cache updates.
This is an alternative to an approach where login/logout notification is sent directly from simulator to groups service.
However, I'm not convinced that this PresenceService approach is actually better. Needs more thought.
Even when an avatar is standing still, it's sending in a constant stream of AgentUpdate packets that the client creates new UDPPacketBuffer objects to handle.
This option pools those objects. This reduces memory churn.
Currently off by default. Works but the scope can be expanded.
Rearrangement and cleanup of shape collection code. Much more readable.
Enabling and use of collision filters and masks.
Addition of ID to body creation BulletSimAPI calls so always set in
shape for collision reporting.
Change default of ShouldSplitSimulationIslands and ShouldRandomizeSolverOrder
from 'false' to 'true'. When 'false', this suppresses NO_CONTACT_RESPONSE
which makes volume detect fail.
This controls how many undo steps the simulator will store for each prim.
Default is now 20 rather than 5 as it briefly was.
The default number could be increased through this is a memory tradeoff which will scale with the number of prims in the sim and level of activity.
This resends appearance uuids to avatars in the scene once a minute.
I have seen this help in the past resolve grey appearance problems where viewers have for unknown reasons sometimes ignored the packet.
The overhead is very small since only the UUIDs are sent - the viewer then requests the texture only if it does not have it cached.
This setting will not help with cloudy avatars which are usually due to the viewer not uploading baked texture data or uploading something that isn't valid JPEG2000
Fix inconsistencies between configuration parameter names and their description names. Changing the configuration parameters for non physical prim size min-max from Nonphys* to NonPhys*.
Please update your OpenSim.ini and Regions.ini to reflect these changes.
