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.
