This exactly fits five ODE steps in the default frame time (0.089).
This means that ODE execution time now matches the default minimum frame time.
This eliminates errors between distance travelled as calculated by ODE in clear air and simple extrapolation.
On the old values, ODE would actually do calculations over 0.1 seconds rather than 0.089.
This means that once the avatar is at top speed, no additional packets need to be sent for smooth movement, since no error develops between server and viewer.
This approach replaces the tweaks previously discussed on the opensim-dev mailing list
Settings are at bottom of [Startup] in OpenSimDefaults.ini, override in OpenSim.ini to change
Defaults are the same as previously.
More information to come on opensim-dev shortly.
Feel free to tweak but if you do please don't expect any support unless feedback on certain tweaks is explicitly requested.
Also adds password check to some functions where this was missing and fixes some parameter checking.
This is a patch from http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5715 with a few small unrelated spacing tweaks from me.
Thanks Michelle Argus.
I added the boolean config setting "allow_regionless", defaulting to false. If set to true, opensim will start up ok if no region configurations are found in the specified region_info_source. It will not ask the user to create a region.
This reverts commit 44a491f36b.
This makes packaging OpenSim slightly easier but then generates a FriendsConnector error if naively used after compilation.
So let's revert to stick with the "DataStore" error for now - at least that's a known error.
I must have had it cached last night.
This now makes completely fresh avatar setups appear properly (remember to wipe viewer cache and server cache as well as database).
As a bonus, eyes now appear by default too!
This is controlled by the CreateDefaultAvatarEntries switch in the [UserAccountService] section of config-include/Stnadalone.ini
This is left as false in grid mode
Viewer 2 no longer contains the default avatar assets (i.e. "Ruth") that would appear if the user had insufficient body part/clothing entries.
Instead, avatars always appear as a cloud, which is a very bad experience for out-of-the-box OpenSim.
Default is currently off. My intention is to switch it on for standalone shortly.
This is not particularly flexible as "Ruth" is hardcoded, but this can change in the future, in co-ordination with the existing RemoteAdmin capabilities.
Need to fix creation of suitable entries for users created as estate owners on standalone.
Avatars still appear with spooky empty eyes, need to see if we can address this.
This commit adds a "Default Iris" to the library (thanks to Eirynne Sieyes from http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=1461) which can be used.
