* Implements the Optimised Erosion routine defined by Jacob Olsen in the paper 'Procedural Terrain Generation' (http://www.oddlabs.com/download/terrain_generation.pdf)
* Replaces the 'flatten' brush when 'newbrushes' is enabled.
* Started OpenSim on SQLite to a mass of red 'unable to load prim' messages.
* If you are getting this message, after this update, when you start OpenSimulator, you'll get it one more time and then it'll work again.
* Added "script terrain newbrushes <true|false>" to enable experimental terraforming brushes. Presently the 'revert' brush is replaced with the Weathering brush, when enabled.
Grass type is not persisted. Try to rez some grass several time to have different random grass types around, then immediately move a couple of them. Or restart the sim and logon again. You'll see all grass types reverted to a dull default one :-)
Also added osSetDynamicTextureDataBlend and osSetDynamicTextureURLBlend that will allow the various textures to be blended together, but currently there are still a few bugs in them. So not ready for use yet.
As per the suggestions in Mantis 687 (thanks Sakai) to resolve an exception
* This won't apply to any existing inventory tables you have, but shouldn't
cause any issues with old tables either
* Trying to store items other than textures, sounds and scripts in a prim's inventory should no longer cause an exception.
* Temporary solution is to ignore storage requests for these assets - actually implementing this requires changes to TaskInventoryItem, at least
* Enabled new TerrainModule. (The king is dead, long live the king!)
* Use the console command: "script terrain save file.r32" / "script terrain load file.r32" to load/save terrain. Now uses the extension to determine file format.
* MANY of the old terrain features do not have a replacement function in the new module yet, this needs to be corrected, but has not been done so far. This being said, the new module is faster and more efficient and should be a good replacement.
* *Much* faster terraforming (woot!)
* New "Brushes" design, so you can create custom terraforming brushes then apply those inplace of the standard tools. (ie an Erode Brush for example)
* New specialised "Flood Brushes" to do large area effects, ie, raise-area, now takes a bitmap rather than repeats the ordinary raise brush a thousand times.
* New modular file Load/Save systems -- write importers/exporters for multiple formats without having to hard code the whole thing in.
* Coming soon - effects system, ie the old Erosion functions, etc. for one-shot effects.
