Manually calling GC.Collect() really shouldnt' be necessary and is generally regarded as a bad idea.
A GC should occur anyway pretty shortly afterwards.
However, can leave this in development code for now to see if it does actually make a significant difference rather than simply doing a GC a little earlier.
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.
Second Life seems to have introduced a bug, as we have confirmation that SL
behavior changed recently and changed in contradiction to their stated intention
This appears to be another of the bugs SL is notorious for. Signpost and I have
decided to back this out until SL's intention becomes clear.
This reverts commit f7b88d1c40.
Major rework of terrain management which finally makes mega-regions work.
Update heightmap of terrain by rebuilding the terrain's body and shape.
There is a problem with just replacing the shape so this workaround
will do for the moment but it will need to be resolved for
mesh and hull switching.
Update DLL API for new terrain and shape/body pattern methods.
Terrain creation and modification uses new shape/body pattern.
Move debug logging callback set to initialization call so logging
is per physics engine.
Moved all terrain code out of BSScene and into new BSTerrainManager.
Added logic to manage multiple terrains for mega-regions.
Added new functions to BulletSimAPI to match the library.
Moved all of the terrain creation and setup logic from C++ code to C# code.
The unused code has not yet been removed from either place. Soon.
Moved checks for avatar above ground and in bounds into BSCharacter.
