* Added different ports (8002 and 8003) to the many services in OpenSim.Server.ini.example
* Added a separate OpenSim.Server.HG.ini.example to make it easier to run
configurable. Previously, estate managers could enter god mode, but would
not have any powers. Now estate managers can enter god mode only if this
option is true, and then will have real god powers.
This merge was very conflicted. I think I got them all, but I can't be sure.
I had to merge to master or risk divergence to the point of unmergeability.
This switch allows scripts to pass messages to modules via the modSendCommand() function
Modules can then send messages back to scripts via the link_message LSL event through
invoking DispatchReply() on OpenSim.Region.Framework.Interfaces.IScriptModuleComms
* Adds a configurable maximum object mass before the mass is clamped. Default is 10000.01. Configurable by changing maximum_mass_object in the [ODEPhysicsSettings] section.
* Clamping the mass is important for limiting the amount of CPU an object can consume in physics calculations. Too high, and the object overcomes restitution forces by gravity alone. This generates more collisions potentially leading to 'deep think'.
having this enabled results just in warning messages if no message service is actually available
haivng this disabled results in an unexpected failure if no message service is available
This appears to now give better ODE physics response (less sinking into the ground, etc.)
Please change it back if this is actually a bad idea for some reason
* Fixing a bug where the max burst rate for the state category was being set as unlimited, causing connections to child agents to saturate bandwidth
* Upped the example default drip rates to 1000 bytes/sec, the minimum granularity for the token buckets
* Added contacts_per_collision to the ODE config section. This allows you to reduce the maximum number of contact points ODE will generate per collision and reduce the size of the array that stores contact structures
* Added a new [Startup] config option called use_async_when_possible to signal how to run operations that could be either sync or async
* Changed Scene.ForEachClient to respect use_async_when_possible
* Fixing a potential deadlock in Parallel.ForEach by locking on a temporary object instead of the enumerator (which may be shared across multiple invocations on ForEach). Thank you diva
* Avoid allocating an Action<IClientAPI> object every round of the OutgoingPacketHandler
* Removed unnecessary semi-colon endings from OpenSim.ini.example [InterestManagement] section
* Only initialize Util's SmartThreadPool if it is actually being used
* No longer initializing Util's SmartThreadPool with a custom max stack size. From MSDN: "Avoid using this constructor overload. The default stack size used by the Thread(ThreadStart) constructor overload is the recommended stack size for threads."
* Changed Util.FireAndForget() to use any of five different methods set with async_call_method in the [Startup] section of OpenSim.ini. Look at the example config for possible values
* Replaced calls to ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem() with ThreadPool.UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem() since OpenSim does not use Code Access Security sandboxing
* OnQueueEmpty is still called async, but will not be called for a given category if the previous callback for that category is still running. This is the most balanced behavior I could find, and seems to work well
* Added support for the old [ClientStack.LindenUDP] settings (including setting the receive buffer size) and added the new token bucket and global throttle settings
* Added the AssetLoaderEnabled config variable to optionally disable loading assets from XML every startup. This gives a dramatic improvement in startup times for those who don't need the functionality every startup
Http-in and makes the host name for URL generation configurable.
Applied with changes:
llGetSimulatorHostname was not changed, because the change breaks
existing behavior and carries a data exposure risk. That value needs
to be configurable, the proposed fixed change is not acceptable.
sweep every 10 minutes. If any texture data is older than 12 hours, it is
regenerated and the memory cache is refreshed. After each decode, the thread
delays for 5 seconds.
setting the path for it. This commit introduces NEW DEFAULT BEHAVIOR. To
retain the old behavior (eternal cache) you will need to change your OpenSim.ini
and set the timeout to 0.
Add ability to silence IRC relay of region joins and quits from certain users
This is useful for admins who wish to remain hidden, or service bots.
Thanks RemedyTomm
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).
