Implements the show version command.
If you type show version at the console, you will get the revision that opensim is running, assuming you have the .svn/entries file in your base directory (e.g. you are running from code extracted from our SVN repository)
A patch to also send this to the client should follow shortly
* Fixes the admin_shutdown xmlrpc method
* Adds a share/python/console/shutdown.py script for shutting down a background OpenSim
* For more details see http://xyzzyxyzzy.net/2008/04/29/console-less-opensim/
* There should also be instructions in the opensimulator wiki soon as well
Note: This is the first part of some changes from Dr Scofield to support console-less operation of an OpenSim region server.
The changes are not yet complete.
* refactors OpenSimMain into two classes: OpenSimMain and
OpenSimMainConsole. OpenSimMainConsole derives from OpenSimMain
and basically is the "old" OpenSimMain
* drops StartConsole from RegionApplicationBase (was only called
from the "old" OpenSimMain anyhow)
* reverts the changes to TryGetScene(string, out scene) as that
seems to work perfectly fine
* adds a check to region-remove to see whether
m_sceneManger.CurrentScene is non-null before comparing it against
the region-to-be-removed
To use, see the appearance section in opensim.ini.example, set "persist = true", then add the correct connection string for your database.(see mysql-AvatarAppearance.sql in share folder for a example of the table mysql table structure).
This could possible be used in a very small grid, but would mean each region server would need to connect to the same mysql database.
But the work to move the code to one of the grid servers shouldn't be too much.
* Cleaned up copyright notices in AssemblyInfo.cs's
* Added Copyright headers to a bunch of files missing them
* Replaced several common string instances with a static constant to prevent reallocation of the same strings thousands of times. "" -> String.Empty is the first such candidate.
Note this has lead to a big flat project, but I think a lot of the files we most likely don't even use any longer. And others belong in other projects/namespaces anyway.
Now have a rough day/night cycle (the movement of the sun needs to be made smoother but for now it is better than we had I think).
Added dalien's patch (issue 294) for saving and loading prims to a xml file (think he will be modifying these to be import/export functions and maybe writing a xml datastore for backups).
Some preliminary work on task inventory (ie object's/prim's inventory).
Added place holder data for AvatarProperties (ie a avatar's profile). Should we store this sort of data on the user server or have another server for it (a normal webserver should work).
Added a few more method to IClientAPI.
Sure there is something I'm forgeting.
Now using the Nini configuration library (suggest we look into using this for the rest of our config handling, as it provides a standard interface for command line args, INI files, Xml files, .NET config files, and windows registry).
One IMPORTANT change is that to TO START GRIDMODE , you need to now use -gridmode=true .
Also need someone to test it under mono. (there is a dll that has been compiled under mono available, just hoping that we don't have to deal with separate dlls for windows and linux.
Also might have messed up some of the SVN properties on some of the folders, so if the cleaning lady has to come in again, I just hope she doesn't moan.
