We've encountered problems with textures never fully downloading and
objects not moving or being deleted (from the client's point of view)
even when the bandwidth settings on the client have been set very
low. This can happen over reasonably lossy links (eg you're on the
other side of the world from the server) as the server retries 3 times
and then gives up.
Whilst its possible to set ReliableIsImportant, this forces the server
to keep retrying no matter what which potentially could lead to
problems. This patch allows for the setting of MaxReliableResends
explicitly (is set to 3 normally) in OpenSim.ini so if you know you
will have clients connecting with poor connections you can set it a
bit higher (10-15 works quite well even for very poor connections).
This may break a lot of things, but it needs to go in. It was tested in standalone and the UCI grid, but it needs a lot more testing.
Known problems:
* HG asset transfers are borked for now
* missing texture is missing
* 3 unit tests commented out for now
default but can be enabled in OpenSim.ini. If enabled, things can be sold
for $0. Other amounts will cause the buyer to see a message and the transaction
will fail.
Move json stats to non-published resource name
Remove well-known resource name for json stats,
creating dynamic uris with private keys and add
a user configurable resource name for region owner usage.
Different people using Hippo 0.5.1 report that trying
to send group instant messages crashes the viewer
(Hippo 0.5.1). This is the case even for empty groups
or if all group members are online.
Don't allow packets to be resent before they have actually been sent for the
first time. Switch from serializing a packet to get it's length to the LibOMV
provided Length property. Fix resend timing. Fix the use of dangling references
to Acked packets. Fix the packet handler to play nice with the packet pool.
Fix the packet pool. Add data block recycling to the packet pool. Packet pool
is now ENABLED by default. Add config option to disable packet and data block
reuse. Add ObjectUpdate and ImprovedTerseObjectUpdate to the packets being
recycled.
The attached patch provides the necessary infrastructure to support
security and authentication features of the xmlrpc server.
* Read/Write keys for accessing a Group's xmlrpc service.
* Requiring user session verification for write operations.
- Adds an admin_modify_region call to allow changing of parcel voice
settings and changing of public/private status
- add boolean "public" and boolean "enable_voice" to
admin_create_region XmlRpc call to allow specifying of
public/private status and to allow enabling voice for all parcels;
also added config variables to allow setting of defaults for those
- fixing cut-and-paste artefacts
* Refactors the xmlrpc calls to a single location to
make it easier to debug and include alternative
xmlrpc call mechanisms
* Includes an alternative xmlrpc call mechanism that
sets HTTP Keep-Alive to false which solves nearly all
System.Net exceptions on some windows environments
Added is a patch that adds a rough Groups implementation. This patch allows
the creation, adding and maintaining Groups, Roles and Members. Work has begun
on a very naive implementation of messaging, and minimal support for notifications
{no attachments yet}. Proposals are not yet supported, but are on the to-do list.
This implementation is not active by default, and must be configured in
OpenSim.ini to become active.
Fixes Mantis #3421
Change the agent/avatar events subscriptions to just OnNewClient. The data only needs to be sent once and keeping track of log ins/movements is not required. This will also send cloud data to child agents so that they can see clouds above neighbouring regions not just regions that they have visited.
Added safemode config to Standalone Hypergrid, similar effect to AllowRegionAccessToInventory in Inventory Server. Everyone should have these vars set to their default values except me!
Attached is a patch which enabled through an OpenSim.ini option the ability
to read long notecard lines. Currently although the data is read from
the notecard it is truncated at 255 characters (same as for the LL servers.
This patch allows the setting of that limit to a different value.
; Maximum length of notecard line read
; Increasing this to large values potentially opens
; up the system to malicious scripters
; NotecardLineReadCharsMax = 255
this allows for save/restore functionality using notecards without
having to worry about very short line length limits.
* In most cases, the setting in OpenSim.ini.example is taken as the canonical one since this is the file virtually everyone ends up using
* OpenSim will start up with a blank OpenSim.ini, in which case sqlite is the default database (as before)
