This fix re-introduces a small tilt into the capsule to prevent
avatar falling through terrain. Re-introduction of the tilt means
that some direction-dependent behavior when walking over prims, but
I have tried to minimize this.
Additionally this commit allows the capsule to wobble slightly when
being pushed around the terrain. This should make walking over prims
easier, as the capsule can wobble and glide diagonally over the prim's
edge, instead of rigidly being stopped vertically against the prim's
face.
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.
* WebStatsModule doesn't crash on restart. GodsModule doesn't crash when there is no Dialog Module. LLUDPServer doesn't crash when the Operation was Aborted.
* ODEPlugin does 'Almost NaN' sanity checks.
* ODEPlugin sacrifices NaN avatars to the NaN black hole to appease it and keep it from sucking the rest of the world in.
* Now validating input to the Physics scene and warning when something is awry.
* This should help nail down that Non Finite Avatar Position Detected issue.
* This may help one of the symptoms or mantis 3363 , however it probably won't solve the occasional NonFinite Avatar Position detected.. issues that some people see. That is probably an entirely different issue(NaN).
llSetHoverHeight() should not clamp the x/y position of an object the way MoveTo does,
and it should recalculate the absolute height to hover at as an object moves to reflect
the current ground/water height under it.
Correctly implementing required adjusting the Physics interfaces and implementing at
the physics plug-in level. The attached is a patch that correctly implements
llSetHoverHeight() including updates to the ODE physics plug-in.
* Added log4net dependency to physxplugin in prebuild.xml.
* Added missing m_log fields to classes.
* Replaced Console.WriteLine with appropriate m_log.Xxxx
* Tested that nant test target runs succesfully.
* Tested that local opensim sandbox starts up without errors.
* If you log-in while the simulator is starting up, you won't be able to move and the sim stats will say 0 FPS, and 0 Physics Frames and you may see only terrain. Once the sim finishes starting up, it'll all resume as normal.
* Warning! Physics API change. This means that the NBodySimulation needs to be updated!
* PhysicsActor -> void SetVolumeDetect(int) needs to go into classes that use PhysicsActor as their base class.
* Implement the linear impulse portion of llPushObject. We should have a lsl compatible implementation of that portion of the push. Angular.. well. still have yet to implement a torque accumulator.
* llPushObject respects the region and parcel settings for Restrict Push, it also respects GodMode as is defined in the LSL spec.
* If you are hosting many regions on a single instance, you will probably notice a decrease in region startup time and maybe a slight increase in performance.
* Single regions won't notice anything different
* This is a HUGE OMG update and will definitely have unknown side effects.. so this is really only for the strong hearted at this point. Regular people should let the dust settle.
* This has been tested to work with most basic functions. However.. make sure you back up 'everything' before using this. It's that big!
* Essentially we're back at square 1 in the testing phase.. so lets identify things that broke.
