Simple attempt to make avatars better shaped.
Replace parameter 'avatarCapsuleRadius' with 'avatarCapsuleWidth'
and 'avatarCapsuleDepth'.
More tweeking to avatar height calculation. A little better but
short avatar's feet are above the terrain and tall avatar's feet
are a little below the ground.
This retrieves and caches information from the PresenceService to only send messages to online users.
This is reported to much improve performance for large groups where most users are offline.
Cache is 20 seconds to balance requests against users not receiving messages until cache updates.
This is an alternative to an approach where login/logout notification is sent directly from simulator to groups service.
However, I'm not convinced that this PresenceService approach is actually better. Needs more thought.
Even when an avatar is standing still, it's sending in a constant stream of AgentUpdate packets that the client creates new UDPPacketBuffer objects to handle.
This option pools those objects. This reduces memory churn.
Currently off by default. Works but the scope can be expanded.
Rearrangement and cleanup of shape collection code. Much more readable.
Enabling and use of collision filters and masks.
Addition of ID to body creation BulletSimAPI calls so always set in
shape for collision reporting.
Change default of ShouldSplitSimulationIslands and ShouldRandomizeSolverOrder
from 'false' to 'true'. When 'false', this suppresses NO_CONTACT_RESPONSE
which makes volume detect fail.
This controls how many undo steps the simulator will store for each prim.
Default is now 20 rather than 5 as it briefly was.
The default number could be increased through this is a memory tradeoff which will scale with the number of prims in the sim and level of activity.
This resends appearance uuids to avatars in the scene once a minute.
I have seen this help in the past resolve grey appearance problems where viewers have for unknown reasons sometimes ignored the packet.
The overhead is very small since only the UUIDs are sent - the viewer then requests the texture only if it does not have it cached.
This setting will not help with cloudy avatars which are usually due to the viewer not uploading baked texture data or uploading something that isn't valid JPEG2000
Fix inconsistencies between configuration parameter names and their description names. Changing the configuration parameters for non physical prim size min-max from Nonphys* to NonPhys*.
Please update your OpenSim.ini and Regions.ini to reflect these changes.
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.
If true, this setting reuses dynamically generated textures (i.e. created through osSetDynamicTextureData() and similar OSSL functions) where possible rather than always regenerating them.
This results in much quicker updates viewer-side but may bloat the asset cache (though this is fixable).
Also, sometimes issue have been seen where dynamic textures do not transfer to the viewer properly (permanently blurry).
If this happens and that flag is set then they are not regenerated, the viewer has to clear cache or wait for 24 hours before all cached uuids are invalidated.
CUrrently experimental. Default is false, as before.
Add description and default of false (as before) to OpenSimDefaults.ini
If set to true, this config switch will resend avatar appearance information (a small amount of UUID data, not the baked textures themselves) to other avatars in the sim every 60 seconds.
For me, this has helped with situations where avatars appear persistently grey - the LL viewer sometimes did not appear to request assets the first time the appearance data was sent.
However, this switch will not help with other appearance failure situations (e.g. failure to bake assets).
This setting is experimental but will not have any significant impact on the simulator if turned to true.
