this commit finally adds the VivoxVoiceModule: it supports positional
as well as conference call type voice (currently only per region
server), region and parcel voice, speaker indication (LL client
family), direct avtar-to-avatar voice chat. NOTE: you need to obtain
an customer admin account from Vivox to be able to use this module ---
DON'T ask me about how to about an admin account, i've NO clue, we
just wrote this code.
Set av_capsule_tilted to false in opensim.ini. Default is true, so there is
no change in avatar behavior (and no breaking of existing content which
relies on the tilted capsule).
This commit straightens up the avatar capsule so it behaves consistently
(e.g. same collision behavior against prims regardless of which direction
the avatar is coming from; ability to fit through narrow doorways).
Please note this introduces other side effects which have not been fixed.
In particular:
* The avatar frequently falls through the terrain if it is not flat, though
the avatar behaves pretty well on flat terrain. This requires investigation
of the ode terrain collider.
* The apparent foot position of the avatar with respect to the ground
is changed. This requires investigation of the avatar height/capsule height.
Please consider this as work in progress.
option for LLUDPServer. On windows .NET the default socket receive
buffer size is 8192 bytes, on recent linux systems it's about
111K. both value can be a bit small for an OpenSim instance serving
many clients. The socket receive buffer size can be configured via
an OpenSim.ini config option
- adds a general catch clause to LLUDPServer.OnReceivedData() to
prevent it submerging when an unexpected Exception occurs.
This change moves texture send processing out of the main
packet processing loop and moves it to a timer based
processing cycle.
Texture packets are sent to the client consistently over
time. The timer is discontinued whenever there are no
textures to transmit.
The behavior of the texture sending mechanism is controlled
by three variables in the LLCLient section of the config
file:
[1] TextureRequestRate (mS) determines how many times per second
texture send processing will occur. The default is 100mS.
[2] TextureSendLimit determines how many different textures
will be considered on each cycle. Textures are selected
by priority. The old mechanism specified a value of 10 for
this parameter and this is the default
[3] TextureDataLimit determines how many packets will be sent for
each of the selected textures. The old mechanism specified a
value of 5, so this is the default.
So the net effect is that TextureSendLimit*TextureDataLimit
packets will be sent every TextureRequestRate mS.
Once we have gotten a reasonable feeling for how these parameters
affect overall processing, it would be nice to autonmically manage
these values using information about the current status of the
region and network.
Note that this also resolves the pathologcal problem that
previously existed which was that a seated avatar generated very
few in-bound packets (theoretically) and would therefore be the
least able to retrieve the images being displayed by a
projector script.
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)
The built-in default is OpenSim, unless a user server url is given, then
that is used, unless "shard" is also goven, then shard takes precedence.
The defult in OpenSim.ini is "OpenSim" for compatibility.
The change makes two principal implementation changes:
[1] It removes the hard coded set of possible asset server client
implementations, allowing any arbitrary implementation that has been
identified to the PluginLoader as an appropriate extension. The
extension point for asset server client extension
is /OpenSim/AssetServerClient. All of the old configuration rules have
been preserved, and any of the legacy configuration values will still
work as they did before, except the implementation is now loaded as a
plug-in, rather than as a hard-coded instantiation of a specific class.
The re-hashing of IAssetServer as an extension of IPlugin made upgrading
of the implementation classes a necessity.
Caveat: I have not been able to meaningfully test the crypto-grid
clients. I believe they should work correctly, but the refactoring
necessary to handle plug-in based initialization (vs constructor-based
initialisation) admits the possibility of a problem.
[2] The asset cache implementation, previously introduce as a hard-code
class instantiation is now implemented as an IPlugin. Once again the
previous (configurationless) behavior has been preserved. But now it is
possible for those interested in experimenting with cache technologies
to do so simply by introducing a new extension for the asset cache
extension point (/OpenSim/AssetCache).
I've tested all of the configuration settings, after applying the patch
to a newly extracted tree, and they seem to work OK.
This changeset add the RegionReady module code. The module sends a
message on a configurable channel when an oar file has finished
loading or if the script engine has emptied its queue for the first
time (eg server startup). Config is something like this:
[RegionReady]
enabled = true
channel_notify = -800
The module also knows if there was an error with startup.
* This adds more explanation for the new proxy settings in OpenSim.ini.example
* Also does some formatting correction
* I did some additional reformatting on top of that
* This option makes OpenSim use the usual db based asset service in standalone, and the grid based one in grid mode
* The other options can (local, grid, etc) can still be used explicitly as before
* Also change OpenSim.ini.example and the surrounding explanative text
* Adding an option to use the tree module to manage the trees in the simulator (grow/reproduce/die)
* Setting it to off by default in an effort to reduce the number of threads in use by default
* You can also turn it on in a 'one off' way with 'tree active true' on the console. To 'one off' turn it off, it's 'tree active false'. The permanent way to do that, however is in the opensim.ini.
* This allows configuration of the assetset and library control file paths to be other than ./inventory/Libraries.xml and ./assets/AssetSets.xml
* This is controlled via the LibrariesXMLFile and AssetSetsXMLFile configuration settings in [StandAlone] in OpenSim.ini (in standalone)
and via the user and asset config xml files for grid mode
* Thanks to SirKimba for the patch
The attached patch ads an OpenSim.ini option (AutomaticLinkPermission)
which when enabled makes PERMISSION_CHANGE_LINKS to be granted to
scripts by default. When enabled llGetPermissions will always return it
as granted and llCreateLink//llBreakLink will succeed without
doing llRequestPermissions. ONLY ENABLE THIS IN TRUSTED ENVIRONMENTS.
The patch also fixes a minor bug in llCreateLink
related to a potential dereference of a null client object.
* Disabled by default (see OpenSim.ini.example for how to enable)
* Saves exceptions to a folder on disk (default "crashes") when enabled.
* These reports can then be uploaded or posted to help debug an error.
* This allows one to override normal OpenSim permissions and prevent non-gods from editing any scripts. This allows edit ability
to be rescinded after it has been given, and prevents the security hole where a single script with liberal perms would allow code changes.
* The default setting remains the existing one of never overruling normal edit permissions.
* These two settings may be enough to stop non-gods entering artbirary script code in a closed grid/standalone configuration.
causes defautlt behavior. "true" now means usable unconditionally, "false"
means disabled, and a list of UUIDs restricts it.
This changes SECURITY! If you used "true" here before, you shoudl review
your setup!
Objects will be persisted now MinimumTimeBeforePersistenceConsidered seconds
after the last change, but latest MaximumTimeBeforePersistenceConsidered after
the first change (both are configurable in OpenSim.ini.example and are set to
60 and 600 as default).
* This doesn't allow complete script lockdown of a sim, many avenues (copying, editing) are still uncloseable at the moment
* Default remains to allow all users to create scripts (subject to existing permissions if enabled)
* Switch default for serverside_object_permissions from false to true - it seems more natural that we enforce permissions by default rather than not!
* Add some explanation in OpenSim.ini.example for serverside_object_permissions
will allow people who don't want megaprims in their sim to prevent them
from being created. Any prim rezzed or pulled across the border will be
clamped to the size specified in OpenSim.ini if this option is set.
regions that XmlRpcCreateRegion will create: if region_limit is != 0
then XmlRpcCreateRegion will only create a new region if the number of
regions already existing is below region_limit.
* Really this should be 1, but I think that this would be too slow compared to a Second Life server until we improve our ability to send textures of variable quality
* This may improve one aspect of sim performance where there are many avatars. However, there are still other performance problems that are unrelated to this change
* Value may be further tuned
* Removed temporary decals since the multipler setting will stick around now
* This should probably be 1, but currently by default it is 8, to reflect what was being eon3 in OpenSim before this revision. So if the client requested a maximum throttle
of 1500 kilobits per second, we would actually send out 1500 kilobytes per second
* Adjusting this multiplier down towards 1 may improve your OpenSim experience, though in other situations it may degrade (e.g. if you're using a standalone over high bandwidth
links)
* This is currently a user setting because adjusting it down may currently reveal other OpenSim bugs.
on-/offline updates, calling cards for friends.
This adds methods in the DB layer and changes the MessagingServer, so a full
update (incl. UGAIM) is necessary to get it working. Older regions shouldn't
break, nor should older UGAIM break newer regions, but friends/presence will
only work with all concerned parts (UGAIM, source region and destination
region) at this revision (or later).
I added the DB code for MSSQL, too, but couldn't test that.
BEWARE: May contain bugs.

ConciergeModule.
* This allows multiple user profile providers to be specified in OpenSim.ini separated by commas
* If multiple providers are specified then a request for a user profile will query each in turn until the profile is either found or all have been queried
* Unfortunately I don't believe this order can currently be specified, which if true is something that will need to be fixed.
* Thanks to smeans for the original patch.
* If you're experiencing knee bendiness try the windows settings, as the *nix settings seem to now be incorrect. (this update does that, but you may have your own opensim.ini settings active.
See mantis #2379 for some useful scripts that work with this.
Note that I added another configuration parameter in addition to the patch to allow for legacy behavior in the absence of new configuration settings.
* Switched it on by default
* Updated OpenSim.ini.example to reflect this
* Caught a UDP Server issue that occurs when the network pipe is saturated
* Still experimental :D
* If EventQueueGet is enabled, use that instead of a few UDP packets, if it's disabled use the UDP packets like normal.
* We *really* suggest users do not turn on EventQueueGet yet.. as it's highly experimental, broken, and resource intensive
* Updated OpenSim.ini.example
* Testers of EventQueueGet.. in OpenSim.ini, it's in the [Startup] Section.. change EventQueue = false, to EventQueue = true.
ordinary region modules and are able to coexist in one instance.
See http://opensimulator.org/wiki/ScriptEngines for details. There were
changes to OpenSim.ini.example, please note DefaultScriptEngine.
Also see the User docs and FAQ on the Wiki. Default is DotNetEngine.
* There are still a lot of things that are hard coded to use http. They need to be fixed.
* Also includes directions
* A standard junk PEM file to append to app_settings/CA.pem in the client so SSL will work
The option to enable the REST Asset and Inventory plugin is missing
from OpenSim.ini.example. This patch adds the required items without
enabling the plugins.
at 1.0, it allows delays to function as coded. Smaller values will
reduce, larger values will increase the delays. A value of 0 is
permitted and results in on delay being applied.
