Attached is a patch which enabled through an OpenSim.ini option the ability
to read long notecard lines. Currently although the data is read from
the notecard it is truncated at 255 characters (same as for the LL servers.
This patch allows the setting of that limit to a different value.
; Maximum length of notecard line read
; Increasing this to large values potentially opens
; up the system to malicious scripters
; NotecardLineReadCharsMax = 255
this allows for save/restore functionality using notecards without
having to worry about very short line length limits.
* In most cases, the setting in OpenSim.ini.example is taken as the canonical one since this is the file virtually everyone ends up using
* OpenSim will start up with a blank OpenSim.ini, in which case sqlite is the default database (as before)
The built-in default is OpenSim, unless a user server url is given, then
that is used, unless "shard" is also goven, then shard takes precedence.
The defult in OpenSim.ini is "OpenSim" for compatibility.
The change makes two principal implementation changes:
[1] It removes the hard coded set of possible asset server client
implementations, allowing any arbitrary implementation that has been
identified to the PluginLoader as an appropriate extension. The
extension point for asset server client extension
is /OpenSim/AssetServerClient. All of the old configuration rules have
been preserved, and any of the legacy configuration values will still
work as they did before, except the implementation is now loaded as a
plug-in, rather than as a hard-coded instantiation of a specific class.
The re-hashing of IAssetServer as an extension of IPlugin made upgrading
of the implementation classes a necessity.
Caveat: I have not been able to meaningfully test the crypto-grid
clients. I believe they should work correctly, but the refactoring
necessary to handle plug-in based initialization (vs constructor-based
initialisation) admits the possibility of a problem.
[2] The asset cache implementation, previously introduce as a hard-code
class instantiation is now implemented as an IPlugin. Once again the
previous (configurationless) behavior has been preserved. But now it is
possible for those interested in experimenting with cache technologies
to do so simply by introducing a new extension for the asset cache
extension point (/OpenSim/AssetCache).
I've tested all of the configuration settings, after applying the patch
to a newly extracted tree, and they seem to work OK.
This changeset add the RegionReady module code. The module sends a
message on a configurable channel when an oar file has finished
loading or if the script engine has emptied its queue for the first
time (eg server startup). Config is something like this:
[RegionReady]
enabled = true
channel_notify = -800
The module also knows if there was an error with startup.
* This adds more explanation for the new proxy settings in OpenSim.ini.example
* Also does some formatting correction
* I did some additional reformatting on top of that
* This option makes OpenSim use the usual db based asset service in standalone, and the grid based one in grid mode
* The other options can (local, grid, etc) can still be used explicitly as before
* Also change OpenSim.ini.example and the surrounding explanative text
* Adding an option to use the tree module to manage the trees in the simulator (grow/reproduce/die)
* Setting it to off by default in an effort to reduce the number of threads in use by default
* You can also turn it on in a 'one off' way with 'tree active true' on the console. To 'one off' turn it off, it's 'tree active false'. The permanent way to do that, however is in the opensim.ini.
* This allows configuration of the assetset and library control file paths to be other than ./inventory/Libraries.xml and ./assets/AssetSets.xml
* This is controlled via the LibrariesXMLFile and AssetSetsXMLFile configuration settings in [StandAlone] in OpenSim.ini (in standalone)
and via the user and asset config xml files for grid mode
* Thanks to SirKimba for the patch
The attached patch ads an OpenSim.ini option (AutomaticLinkPermission)
which when enabled makes PERMISSION_CHANGE_LINKS to be granted to
scripts by default. When enabled llGetPermissions will always return it
as granted and llCreateLink//llBreakLink will succeed without
doing llRequestPermissions. ONLY ENABLE THIS IN TRUSTED ENVIRONMENTS.
The patch also fixes a minor bug in llCreateLink
related to a potential dereference of a null client object.
* Disabled by default (see OpenSim.ini.example for how to enable)
* Saves exceptions to a folder on disk (default "crashes") when enabled.
* These reports can then be uploaded or posted to help debug an error.
* This allows one to override normal OpenSim permissions and prevent non-gods from editing any scripts. This allows edit ability
to be rescinded after it has been given, and prevents the security hole where a single script with liberal perms would allow code changes.
* The default setting remains the existing one of never overruling normal edit permissions.
* These two settings may be enough to stop non-gods entering artbirary script code in a closed grid/standalone configuration.
causes defautlt behavior. "true" now means usable unconditionally, "false"
means disabled, and a list of UUIDs restricts it.
This changes SECURITY! If you used "true" here before, you shoudl review
your setup!
Objects will be persisted now MinimumTimeBeforePersistenceConsidered seconds
after the last change, but latest MaximumTimeBeforePersistenceConsidered after
the first change (both are configurable in OpenSim.ini.example and are set to
60 and 600 as default).
* This doesn't allow complete script lockdown of a sim, many avenues (copying, editing) are still uncloseable at the moment
* Default remains to allow all users to create scripts (subject to existing permissions if enabled)
