This uses an offset of 0.05 on the up vector of the sit orientation, after extensive analysis on
http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=7096 and https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Talk:LlSitTarget
This supersedes the previous adjustment in 5b73b9c4 which had been wrongly applied.
The maximum change is about 0.1 with a maximum height avatar.
This patch is all Aleric's work - I am applying manually in order to add these additional notes
This fixes http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=7123
Users that use MySQL should change their MySQL configuration to support UTF8. In the config file /etc/my.cnf (Linux) or my.ini (Windows), add these settings:
[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
[client]
default-character-set=utf8
And then restart MySQL (on Linux: "sudo service mysqld restart").
This happened because these notifications (the UDP packets) can only be sent to Root Agents. But the notifications were done in OnClientLogin(), at which point the client is still a Child Agent. Since a FireAndForget is used, it became a race condition as to whether the packets would be sent before or after the client became a Root Agent.
To fix this, we now only send the notifications once the client becomes a Root Agent for the first time.
a) This shouldn't have been done because at that point the user is still logged-in to the current grid. b) It's not necessary because the user will soon be logged-out completely. c) And it didn't even work because the MySQL database layer prevents setting the region to 0.
objects in the world.
This was originally changed in an attempt to make vehicles work better
but the effect was not that large and it causes avatars to float
above the terrain.
added as they are already exposed through an API when using Nini. That will
remove the need to always edit RegioInfo just to add a region based setting.
This means the presence info may be out of date by up to 20 seconds, but this avoids scripts potentially triggering constants requests to user accout and presence info services.
Relates to http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=7088 though I fixed in a different way.
Adds regression test for this case.
When an avatar is in their home grid, their name appears as "First Last". In other grids the name appears as "First.Last @grid.example.com". However, viewers have a bug and they don't always show the new name. We use a trick (changing the Group Title briefly) in order to make the viewers show the new name. This is only done after a Hypergrid teleport.
On successful teleports this error wasn't actually shown to the user. But on failed teleports this error could hide the true cause of the failure. For example, attempting to use a Landmark that's more than 4095 regions away would result in two warnings appearing in the viewer: "Region too far" and "Destination could not be found". The second message hid the first one, so it wasn't obvious to the user what is actually the problem.
This can affect which region to use. E.g., returning users may be allowed to enter any region, whereas users from other grids will have to enter a gateway region. Previously per-user decisions were only made later, but by then it's too late to change which region the user enters.
