When this setting is false and other defaults haven't been changed, scripts entering the simulator from another sim are automatically restarted but their state is not preserved.
When this setting is true, state that accompanies the script is reloaded (e.g. if a script had a variable i = 1 when leaving the source region, it will still have i = 1 on the destination region).
This setting does not affect crossings when regions are run in the same simulator. In this case, state is already preserved.
Instead of performing the 4096 check when the region is linked (and subsequently removing the link), leave the link in place and perform the check in the entity transfer module
This allows us to explicitly tell the hypergridder why the teleport failed (region out of range).
It also allows people on regions that are within range (on a large source grid) to teleport.
The Check4096 config parameter in the [GridService] section is replaced by a max_distance paramter in a new [EntityTransfer] section in OpenSimDefaults.ini
Since the parameter is in OpenSimDefaults.ini no action needs to be taken unless you want to increase this limit. It could also be decreased.
The check is being made in the base entity transfer module, since I believe the viewer problem occurs both on extremely large grids and while hypergridding.
limits because the only ones used now are the defaults (which are overwritten
by the client throttles anyway). Updated the default rates to correspond to
about 350kbps.
Also added a configuration to disable adaptive throttle. The default
is the previous behavior (no adaptation).
child agents in neighbor regions. This means you can extend
the view on a simulator beyond the default 3x3 regions.
This uses a region default draw distance and should be
replaced at some point by the avatar specified draw distance.
That will require more careful, dynamic recomputation of child
agents every time the draw distance changes.
WARNING: this is experimental and has known instabilities. specifically
all regions "within site" should be running the same default draw distance
or agents will not be closed correctly.
Frontend into a separate region module. Configuration
settings added to the defaults ini file. Others may find
this useful for pushing map tiles to a separate server.
Setting this to true avoids a 500ms or so client freeze when the LLUDP server thread is taken up with processing a UseCircuitCode packet synchronously.
Extensive testing on Wright Plaza appeared to show no bad effects and this seems to reduce login lag considerably.
Of course, a lot of login lag is still coming from other sources.
