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
out everything in the [GridInfo] section :-D Also, not yet LLSD but
XmlRpc, LLSD via GET will follow. OpenSim.ini.example contains sample
values and explanation. Oh, and default values provided are
platform: OpenSim
mode: standalone | grid
have fun.
Add a config option to OpenSim.ini to select between script compilers
in the XEngine without recompile.
Set UseNewCompiler=true in OpenSim.ini and try it out.
Creates the ICodeConverter interface and adapts the new compiler to it.
* It isn't perfect since the blocks are square, however it's pretty good.
* Performance is also pretty good, however, if it takes too long for you, you can disable it in the OpenSim.ini
* You can see how long it takes in milliseconds on the console when it finishes.
a clean interface for Sim broadcasts. Added SimBroadcast support to
ChatModule.
Removing all code from IRCBridgeModule dealing with agent/client directly.
Cleaning up ChatModule.
Polishing IRC messages, adding support for "/me" (both directions).
* This includes if you want to mesh sculpties and the Level of detail on the sculptie meshing for non physical and a separate LOD on physical sculpties.
* The options range from gravity.. to avatar movement speed, to friction management.. to object density.. to update throttling.
the attached patch set adds the (still work-in-progress but already
working) RestPlugin base class and the RestRegionPlugin code. we are using
XML serialization.
currently working:
GET /admin/regions/ -> returns UUID list of known regions
GET /admin/regions/<UUID> -> returns detailed region information
we'll be adding support for POST/DELETE/PUT and also for
/admin/regions/<UUID>/name etc.
* See OpenSim.ini.example settings for how to use
* Only compatible with svn:// and http:// authentication for the moment (and only using simple authentication). SSL/SSH key support is supported by the library used (SvnDotNet), but is not yet supported in OpenSim.
* Use the command "svn save" to make a copy of your regions to SVN. Presently this is not an automatic process, but such a feature is on the todo list.
* It will in your repository create a subdirectory for each region with the regions UUID, inside there it will create a 'terrain load' compatible 'heightmap.r32', and a load-xml2 compatible 'objects.xml' plus information files.
* Untested on Linux, some compatibility work may be needed by Linux peoples. The dependencies will be the same as for SvnDotNet which is supposedly mono-compatible.
ansgar and i have been working on an asterisk voice module that will allow
us to couple opensim with an asterisk VoIP gateway.
the patch below consists of
* AsteriskVoiceModule region module: alternative to the plain-vanilla
VoiceModule, will make XmlRpc calls out to an asterisk-opensim
frontend
* asterisk-opensim.py frontend, living in share/python/asterisk, takes
XmlRpc calls from the AsteriskVoiceModule
* account_update: to update/create a new SIP account (on
ProvisionVoiceAccountRequest)
* region_update: to update/create a new "region" conference call
(on ParcelVoiceInfo)
* a asterisk-opensim test client, living in share/python/asterisk, to
exercise astersik-opensim.py
this still does not give us voice in OpenSim, but it's another step on
this path...
attached is a patch set that
* adds further robustness checks for the CreateUser and CreateRegion
XmlRpc
* fixes SceneManager.TryGetScene(IPEndPoint, Scene) --- contrary to my
expectation IPEndPoint.Address is not sufficient for a comparision,
IPEndPoint.Address.Address (the long representation) does work
however.
* add [RemoteAdmin] section to OpenSim.ini.example
* fixes XML doc comments
good night,
dirk
* A few things for testing.
* This makes a modification to the region registration with the grid server so that the region can send it a chosen password to identify itself. It will not cause any errors, if either one are not updated.
* Several people have asked for a way to limit uploads, so I've decided to show people how to do this in the BetaGridLikeMoneyModule.
* Configure it in OpenSim.ini using the [Economy] header. See the bottom of the OpenSim.ini.example for more information.
* This also fleshes out the Economy API a bit more.
* This patch removes voice code into a region module. This required the implementation of events and other code to allow region modules to register their own caps handlers, and should allow different voice module implementations.
* CAVEAT: This does not provide complete voice support, it merely provides the hooks so that it can be plugged in.
* (and Ansgar/Ansi)
* Fleshes out the voice stubs to better interact with the viewer CAPS requests - no actual voice support yet!
* In his own words
"the attached patch enhances the existing voice support by returning a proper voice account user and password and is preparing the config file so that we can specify a SIP server (not yet working). currently the SIP is hardcoded. the next step is to refactor voice support into a region module. working on that. "
* Added the new mapper to the mapper factory
* Made choice of mapper configurable
* This means, in hteory, that we can persist avatar appearance on MSSQL as well
* See OpenSim.ini.example for more details
* The old sqlite/mssql settings were redundant and effectively ignored anyway. Hence, there's no need for you to change your current settings, which will still work
* In fact, asset_database should probably be moved to [Network] since it's meaningless for standalone installations
Changed the public IsAdministrator back to protected,
now checks Config to see whether it is allowed to run or not.
Defaults to false (not allowed).
To use add the following to OpenSim.ini
[LL-Functions]
AllowosConsoleCommand=true
Added some info to failure on GridServices listening port so people can see what actually went wrong.
Moved most of the function/event execution module to a baseclass so other execution methods (instead of reflection) can be used with custom script modules run by ScriptEngine.Common.
+ some accumulated patches
To use, see the appearance section in opensim.ini.example, set "persist = true", then add the correct connection string for your database.(see mysql-AvatarAppearance.sql in share folder for a example of the table mysql table structure).
This could possible be used in a very small grid, but would mean each region server would need to connect to the same mysql database.
But the work to move the code to one of the grid servers shouldn't be too much.
Added VISUAL BASIC.NET-support
//cs, //lsl and //vb as first characters of script will determine what compiler is used.
Compile warnings are no longer treated as errors. Script will still run.
Added a few useless and useful config options:
Write script source to harddisk for debug, Default compile language, Allowed compilers (languages), compile in release or debug mode, clean up old scripts on startup
Loads of warnings for incorrect config
Added comments and regions, restructured code
Changed a lot of AppDomain junk from console from using Console.Write to Log.Verbose and set it to #if DEBUG
All modules should now refresh their configuration runtime
Made all logging in ScriptEngine.Common get script name from actual engine
Renamed LSLLongCmdHandler to AsyncLSLCommandManager
Added auto-recover with 5 sec throttle for new MaintenanceThread
