Attached is a patch for adding the llGetSunDirection functionality. It was implemented by adding a parameter to estate settings for storing the sun position. The sun position is calculated and stored via the sun module everytime the client's sun position is updated. It was tested with several different srcipts on Linux and Windows
* This replaces the old behaviour of failing straight away, which could cause lost updates if the inventory service was slow in responding
* This is the first baby step to making all inventory requests behave this way, to reduce inventory lossage
* I expanded upon his patch just a bit to incorporate the following.
* if the avatar is sitting on this object, then we can unsit them.
* If the object owner also owns the parcel or if the land is group owned and the object is group owned by the same group or if the object is owned by a person with estate access, then we can unsit them.
the attached patch set is centered around RemoteAdminPlugin and focuses
mainly on making it more robust (i.e. more parameter checking and better
error reporting) but also we've re-implemented the LoadTerrain stuff that
got disabled during the terrain code reworking:
* missing PostInitialize() calls on region modules that were loaded
for regions created via RemoteAdmin's CreateRegion XmlRpc call
* re-implements RemoteAdmin's LoadTerrain XmlRpc call (probably lost
during the TerrainModule rework)
* adds lots more parameter checking and error reporting to RemoteAdmin
* adds a read-only property to RegionApplicationBase so that we can
access the CommsManager
* adds Exceptions to TerrainModule so that we get better error case
feedback (and can report more meaningful errors in turn)
* adds a CheckForTerrainUpdate() call to
TerrainModule.LoadFromFile() to make terrain changes effective
* adds TryGetCurrentScene(LLUUID) to SceneManager so that we can
retrieve Scenes not only by name but also by LLUUID

* Added a form of GZip compression support to object.xml files produced by exportserialiser. Will look towards standard GZip support. File compression seems to be highly worthwhile reducing a 1.5mb sim state to 62kb.
* This now outputs properly indented XML, that is sorted before construction. This produces a file which proper .diffs can be generated from - the end result being smaller more compact revisions when saving to SVN.
* Files are a little heavy still however, compression looks like a good method for packing sim-states for transport outside of SVN. Zip seems to be a good candidate and is on the TODO.
* A much more significant fix is required to clean up the cache when a user moves out of a region, but really better handling of delayed inventory cache updates needs to be
written first, and possibly better affinity to cut down agent inventory requests when the move is between two regions hosted on the same server.
* All objects are not touchable by default now
* When a script listens for one of the touch events in the state, an object becomes touchable.
* All LSL scripts report which events they consume now
** This uses semi-complicated Regex to discover the events, stick them in a dictionary, and then write a method call into each script state's state_entry() event.
** Tedd may figure out a better way to do this in the future. For now, this works for LSL.
