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.
logic to ConciergeModule. adding XmlRpc method to allow update of
welcome template for a region. documenting [Concierge] "password"
option in OpenSim.ini.example.
chat relaying via private channels, and old IRCBridgeModule
behaviour. also cleaning up IRCBridgeModule's OpenSim.ini
configuration variable names (still supporting "old" variable
names). refactored IRCChatModule into IRCConnector and incorporating
watchdog from IRCBridgeModule into IRCConnector.
enabling ChatModule to be used as a super-class and utilizing it in
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.
* There are a lot of changes and this is quite experimental. It's off by default, but you can turn it on by examining the bottom of the opensim.ini.example for the proper OpenSim.ini settings. Remember, you still need an agent domain..
* Furthermore, it isn't quite right when it comes to teleporting to remote regions (place_avatar)
* By default, texture rendering is on. This may be affected by using secure assets since your region hasn't registered with the gridserver before it asks for texture assets. It might also be affected by a slow asset server, so consider this release experimental.
* Defined interface IMapTileTerrainRenderer.
* Extracted "old" shaded maptile terrain rendering into ShadedMapTileRenderer;
streamlined it a bit and added "highlight" rendering to its "shadow"
rendering.
* Added "new" terrain-texture based maptile terrain rendering
(TexturedMapTileRenderer); made TerrainUtil.InterpolatedNoise public
* Adapted MapImageModule to allow switching between those two by configuration
* Added configuration option to OpenSim.ini.example
as those all work with MySQL (and are in fact required it seems);
adds examples as well
- adds region_file_template functionality for the create_region XmlRpc
call of RemoteAdminPlugin
- cleans up and fixes typo in UserProfileData
