This is to accomodate situations where viewers will create more than one 'type' subfolder (e.g. calling cards)
But at the same time to prevent multiple such 'system' folders (those in the base "My Inventory" user folder).
This also makes GetFolderForType() only return a folder in the base "My Inventory" folder, if such a type folder exists
This doesn't affect any core OpenSimulator code since all callers were passing true anyway
But it allows region modules to create objects that are never persisted.
This is necessary because commit 8131a24 (Tue Mar 27 10:08:13 2012) started passing the config section name rather than hardcoding "AssetService"
This meant that the HG external-facing asset service tried to read ConnectionString from [HGAssetService] rather than [AssetService].
On SQLite, not finding this meant that it fell back to [DatabaseService], which is set for OpenSim.db rather than Asset.db.
Therefore, all external asset requests returned null.
Solution taken here is to create an [HGAssetService] section with the same ConnectionString as [AssetService].
This bug does not affect normal MySQL/MSSQL config since they use the [DatabaseService] connection string anyway.
Addresses http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6200, many thanks to DanBanner for identifying the exact problem commit which was very helpful.
This was a regression from OpenSimulator 0.7.3.1 which did not contain this bug.
In testing, it appears that if multiple threads dispose of separate GDI+ objects simultaneously,
the native malloc heap can become corrupted, possibly due to a double free(). This may be due to
bugs in the underlying libcairo used by mono's libgdiplus.dll on Linux/OSX. These problems were
seen with both libcario 1.10.2-6.1ubuntu3 and 1.8.10-2ubuntu1. They go away if disposal is perfomed
under lock.
This is to resolve a reported issue in http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6232
Here, the land management module is using OpenSim.Framework.Cache (the only code to currently do so apart from the non-default CoreAssetCache).
This is to allow a second attempt to remove an avatar even if "show connections" shows them as already inactive (i.e. close has already been attempted once).
You should only attempt --force if a normal kick fails.
This is partly for diagnostics as we have seen some connections occasionally remain on lbsa plaza even if they are registered as inactive.
This is not a permanent solution and may not work anyway - the ultimate solution is to stop this problem from happening in the first place.
This was working in 0.7.2 but was accidentally removed from 0.7.3.
The --publish option for "save oar" will now save oars stripped of parcel owner information as well as scene object info.
Please use the --publish option if you want to publish oars that may be later loaded by others to the same grid from which they were saved.
Add description and default of false (as before) to OpenSimDefaults.ini
If set to true, this config switch will resend avatar appearance information (a small amount of UUID data, not the baked textures themselves) to other avatars in the sim every 60 seconds.
For me, this has helped with situations where avatars appear persistently grey - the LL viewer sometimes did not appear to request assets the first time the appearance data was sent.
However, this switch will not help with other appearance failure situations (e.g. failure to bake assets).
This setting is experimental but will not have any significant impact on the simulator if turned to true.
The bug manifested as follows: a large world was saved. All the assets were found. But for some unknown reason, the timeout timer was restarted. So after 1 minute it closed the Archive Writer, because it didn't receive any more assets during that minute. That caused the OAR to become corrupted because ArchiveWriteRequestExecution.Save() was still running.
