One reason support was removed is that the external DLL that implemented Javascript stopped development.
Not sure how well this ever worked in OpenSimulator.
Not removing vb for now as this is directly supported by Mono (via vbnc compiler) though I strongly suspect it is also inoperable.
It originally looked like mesh terrain would perform better for vehicles
but, after much use, heightmap is the clear winner.
Force terrain implementation to heightmap if the physics region is
larger than legacy region size. This solves running out of memory for
very large regions.
udp texture throttle and move it to the task throttle. Since most
viewers are using http textures, the udp texture throttle is holding
onto bw that could be used for more responsive prims updates. See
the documentation for CannibalizeTextureRate in OpenSimDefaults.ini.
Option is disabled by default.
This includes additions to Warp3D:
Optional rendering of mesh and scupltie prims (INI parameter. Off by default)
Texturing of large prims (INI parameter. On by default)
Better garbage collection
The BulletSim plugin is higher performance and has a better implementation of vehicles amongst other things.
Many thanks to Robert Adams for making this possible with the enormous amount of work that he has done on this plugin.
If you want to continue using ODE, set physics = OpenDynamicsEngine in the [Startup] section of OpenSim.ini
This is specified in the MaxOutgoingTransferVersion attribute of [EntityTransfer] in OpenSim.ini, see OpenSimDefaults.ini for more details.
Default remains "SIMULATION/0.2"
Primarily for http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6755
This is an experimental setting to control cpu spikes when an attachment heavy avatar logs in or avatars with medium attachments lgoin simultaneously.
It inserts a ms sleep specified in terms of attachments prims after each rez when an avatar logs in.
Default is 0 (no throttling).
"debug attachments <level>" changes to "debug attachments log <level>" which controls logging. A logging level of 1 will show the throttling performed if applicable.
Also adds "debug attachments status" command to show current throttle and debug logging levels.
Default off, for the moment, until more testing.
Add separate thread and center-of-mass flags to OpenSimDefaults.ini.
Clean up comments in OpenSimDefaults.ini.
packet can be pulled out of LLClientView and moved to
AvatarFactory. The first pass at reusing textures (turned off by
default) is included. When reusing textures, if the baked textures
from a previous login are still in the asset service (which generally
means that they are in the simulator's cache) then the avatar will not
need to rebake. This is both a performance improvement (specifically
that an avatars baked textures do not need to be sent to other users
who have the old textures cached) and a resource improvement (don't
have to deal with duplicate bakes in the asset service cache).
UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem is so called because it allows the calling code to escalate its security privileges.
However, since we must already trust this code anyway in OpenSimulator this is not an issue.
This option allows the simulator to specify that the cancel button on inter-region teleports should never appear.
This exists because sometimes cancellation will result in a stuck avatar requiring relog.
It may be hard to prevent this due to the protocol design (the LL grid has the same issue)
In small controlled grids where teleport failure is practically impossible it can be better to disable teleport cancellation entirely.
Existing map settings in [Startup] will continue to work, and if present will override anything in [Map]
However, the proper place for such settings would now be [Map]
This is to reduce the use of [Startup] as a bag for non-generic settings which should really go in sections, in common with other settings.
This commit also extends Diva's previous work to allow a default setting to be given when looking at multiple sections for settings.
invisible barriers in sculptie doorways (Mantis 6529).
Bump up level-of-detail for physical meshes to 32 (the max). This
fixes the invisible barriers that showed up in prim cut arches.
NOTE: the default LOD values are removed from OpenSimDefaults.ini.
If you don't change your OpenSimDefaults.ini, you will continue
to see the arch problem.
This setting controls whether scripts are stopped by aborting their threads externally (abort) or by co-operative checks from the compiled script (co-op)
co-op should be more stable but this option is experimental.
If moving from co-op to abort, existing script DLLs will need to be recompiled.
This currently can only be done manually, either by setting DeleteScriptsOnStartup = true for one run
or by deleting the script DLL* files in bin/ScriptEngines/<region-id>/
One can move from co-op back to abort without recompilation, but reverting back to co-op again will need script recompile
Default is 1000, as has previously been the case.
This parameter exists for further debug work concerning mono 2.10 crashes that may be related to locks not being removed on Thread.Abort
This reduces base memory churn of every client connection, improving the garbage collection situation.
The effect is a significant portion of base load (an avatar standing still on a completely blank island)
but will probably still be swallowed up by other memory use on active regions.
Tests have shown no noticeable impact on speed of processing incoming packets, though setting remains
in case a switch back is needed.
Setting this to false will block all restart requests from the viewer even if they are otherwise legitimate.
One use is to block region restarts if necessary whilst restart functionality remains buggy or triggers bugs in modules,
though these should be fixed as soon as practicable.
Default is true, as has been the case historically.
