Viewer LL 3.3.4 and before sometimes fail to properly redisplay dynamic textures that have a small data length compared to pixel size when pulled from cache.
This appears to happen when the data length is smaller than the estimate discard level 2 size the viewer uses when making this GetTexture request.
This commit works around this by always regenerating dynamic textures that fall below this threshold rather than reusing them if ReuseDynamicTextures = true
This can be controlled by the [Textures] ReuseDynamicLowDataTextures config setting which defaults to false.
This is because recent viewers (3.2.1, 3.3.4) and probably earlier ones using the http GetTexture capability will sometimes make such invalid range requests.
This appears to happen if the viewer's estimate of texture sizes at discard levels > 0 (chiefly 2) exceeds the total texture size.
I believe this does not normally happen but can occur for dynamic textures with are large but mainly blank.
If this happens, returning a RequestedRangeNotSatisfiable will cause the viewer to not render the texture at the final resolution.
However, returning a PartialContent (or OK) even with 0 data will allow the viewer to render the final texture.
If true, this setting reuses dynamically generated textures (i.e. created through osSetDynamicTextureData() and similar OSSL functions) where possible rather than always regenerating them.
This results in much quicker updates viewer-side but may bloat the asset cache (though this is fixable).
Also, sometimes issue have been seen where dynamic textures do not transfer to the viewer properly (permanently blurry).
If this happens and that flag is set then they are not regenerated, the viewer has to clear cache or wait for 24 hours before all cached uuids are invalidated.
CUrrently experimental. Default is false, as before.
Intended for use if there are future issues with mono crashes whilst generate dynamic textures.
This test is triggered via a new test-stress nant target.
Not run by default.
Disabled (status quo) by default.
This flag makes the dynamic texture module reuse cache previously dynamically generated textures given the same input commands and extra params for 24 hours.
This occurs as long as those commands would always generate the same texture (e.g. they do not contain commands to fetch data from the web).
This makes texture changing faster as a viewer-cached texture uuid is sent and may reduce simulator load in regions with generation of lots of dynamic textures.
A downside is that this stops expiry of old temporary dynamic textures from the cache,
Another downside is that a jpeg2000 generation that partially failed is currently not regenerated until restart or after 24 hours.
This prevented more than one additional ordinary folder from being created in the base "My Inventory" user folder.
Added regression test for this case.
Switched tests to use XInventoryService with mostly implemented TestXInventoryDataPlugin rather than InventoryService
Disabled TestLoadIarV0_1SameNameCreator() since this has not been working for a very long time (ever since XInventoryService) started being used
since it doesnt' preserve creator data in the same way as InventoryService did and so effectively lost the OSPAs.
However, nobody noticed/complained about this issue and OSPAs have been superseded by HG like creator information via the --home save oar/iar switch.
