themselves. For that, the physics module simply calls RequestAssetMethod, which
in turn points to Scene.PhysicsRequestAsset. This gives physics access to
the asset system without introducing unwanted knowledge of the scene class.
Possibly this was for a feature that was never implemented or was otherwise removed.
Thanks to SignpostMarv for the spot of the warning that shows this parameter was never changed.
and into its own class. The BulletSim data structures track
individual prims as linksets of 1 so most of the prim code is not
different between a linked and unlinked object.
Physical linksets are fully functional.
Tweeking of the vehicle code to make it semi-work.
Utilize the new API2 for some setting operations.
Add GetOrientation() API call for proper reporting of children of linksets.
Changes the interface between C# and C++ code so old DLLs won't work!
with an ini configuration parameter.
Correct computation of relative offsets of children in a linkset.
Remove a prim from any link relationship before deleting it.
Minor code flow cleanups.
This occurred in b18c8c8 (Thu May 17 2012).
This was a cause of very occasional race conditions and likely memory leakage as clients came and went from the region.
These will act as a sanity check with the main scene stats, to show that physics scene entities are being managed properly.
Total prims will not match scene total prims since physics total does not include phantom prims
Also zeros collisions scores on all prims after report collection, not just the top 25.
As before, this collision scores are only reset after a report is requested, which may give unrealistic numbers on the first request.
So to see more realistic scores, ignore the first report and then refresh the request after a couple of seconds or so.
If active, the physics module can return arbitrary stat counters that can be seen via the MonitoringModule
(http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Monitoring_Module)
This is only active in OdeScene if collect_stats = true in [ODEPhysicsSettings].
This patch allows OdeScene to collect elapsed time information for calls to the ODE native collision methods to assess what proportion of time this takes compared to total physics processing.
This data is returned as ODENativeCollisionFrameMS in the monitoring module, updated every 3 seconds.
The performance effect of collecting stats is probably extremely minor, dwarfed by the rest of the physics code.
Since this is done directly from ScenePresence, it can lead to a race condition with the simulator loop.
There's no real point doing it anyway since the clear will be done very shortly afterwards by the simulate loop and either there are no events (for a new avatar) or events don't matter (for a departing avatar).
This matches existing behaviour in OdePrim
This was an oversight when removing some race conditions from PhysicsActor setting recently.
Regression tests extended to probe this code path.
Extending regression tests required implementation of a BasicPhysicsPrim (there was none before). However, BasicPhysics plugin is still of no current practical use other than to fill in as a component for other parts of regression testing.
prim_geom == IntPtr.Zero only before a new add prim taint is processed (which is the first taint) or in operations such as scale change which are done in taint or under lock.
Therefore, we can remove these checks which were not consistently applied anyway.
If there is a genuine problem, better to see it quickly in a NullReferenceException than hide the bug.
It seems that ODE calls the avatar collision handling routine even
if there are no collisions. This causes the animation to be updated.
So, for instance, going from HOVER to FLY is caused by the physics engine
calling the collision routine each frame with 0 collisions.
On the first frame, all startup scene objects are added to the physics scene.
This can cause a considerable delay, so we don't start raising the alarm on scene loop timeouts until the second frame.
This commit also slightly changes the behaviour of timeout reporting.
Previously, a report was made for the very first timed out thread, ignoring all others until the next watchdog check.
Instead, we now report every timed out thread, though we still only do this once no matter how long the timeout.
In over 4 years this never progressed beyond an unimplemented stub.
This doesn't mean that it can't come back if someone is interested in implementing PhysX support.
In theory, this means that a 64-bit Windows OS user can now run OpenSim.exe with ODE and use more than 2 (or 3) GB of memory.
However, this is completely untested since I don't currently own a 64-bit Windows box. Feedback appreciated.
Using OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe should continue to work. Other platforms are unaffected.
This will currently not work with sqlite - I will add that too if this works.
If velocity reaches 256 in any vector then bad things happen with ODE, so we now clamp this value.
In addition, a falling avatar is clamped by default at 54 m/s, which is the same as a falling skydiver.
This also appears to be the value used on the linden lab grid.
This should resolve http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5882
It turns out that calls to Collide() are not thread-safe even for objects in different ODE physics worlds due to ODE static caches.
For simulators running multiple regions, not serializing calls from different scene loops will sooner or later cause OpenSim to crash with a native stack trace referencing OBBCollider.
This affects the default OPCODE collider but not GIMPACT. However, GIMPACT fails for other reasons under some current simulator loads.
ODE provides a thread local storage option, but as of ODE r1755 (and r1840) DLLs compiled with this crash OpenSim immediately.
