Another thread could come and turn off physics for a part (null PhysicsActor) at any point.
Had to turn off localCopy on warp3D CoreModules section in prebuild.xml since on current nant this copies all DLLs in bin/ which can be a very large number with compiled DLLs
No obvious reason for doing that copy - nothing else does it.
Rename IFriendsModule.GetFriendPerms() -> GetRightsGrantedByFriend() to be more self-documenting and consistent with friends module terminology.
Add some method doc.
This adds ScenePresence to IClientAPI.SceneAgent earlier on in the add client process so that its information is available to EventManager.OnNewClient() and OnClientLogin()
Also add a code comment as to why we're caching friend information for child agents.
This is to deal with the hundred lines of command splurge when one previously typed "help"
Modelled somewhat on the mysql console
One can still type help <command> to get per command help at any point.
Categories capitalized to avoid conflict with the all-lowercase commands (except for commander system, as of yet).
Does not affect command parsing or any other aspects of the console apart from the help system.
Backwards compatible with existing modules.
On osgrid and other places, I have observed that manually sending appearance updates from the console often relieves grey avatar syndrome.
Despite hunting high and low, I haven't been able to find where this packet is sometimes being lost - it might be a persistent viewer bug for all I know.
Therefore, this experimental setting resends appearance data for everybody in the scene every 60 seconds. These packets are small and the viewer only fetches texture
data if it doesn't already have it.
Default is false.
The idea is to make the critical main scene loop as skinny as possible - it doesn't need to run things that aren't time critical and don't depend on update ordering.
This will be done gradually over time to try and uncover any issues. Many non-criticial scene loop activities are being launched on separate threadpool threads anyway.
This may also allow modules to register their own maintenance jobs without having to maintain their own timers and threads.
Currently the maintenance loop runs once a second, as opposed to the 89ms scene loop.
Update() now accepts a frames parameter which can control the number of frames updated.
-1 will update until shutdown.
The watchdog updating moves above the maintc recalculation for any required sleep since it should be accounted for within the frame.
This flavour is for changes in addition to the 0.7.3-post-fixes branch that are too large to be considered fixes but should be reasonably stable.
This flavour will almost certainly never see a formal release.
Viewer 2/3 contains a bug where the viewer will constantly retry ParcelVoiceInfoRequest requests on voice-disabled parcels where voice is otherwise available.
Attempts to fix this server-side have not been successful - sending a non-OK http code (e.g. a 404) just makes the viewer request again immediately.
Dropping the request entirely is a bit better but the viewer still retries after a minute.
Estate settings already enabled voice by default so doing the same for parcels. This only has an effect if you have any voice system active at all.
Ultimately, the re-request bug needs to be fixed viewer-side (LL suffers from the same issue!) but it might be worth implementing the drop request hack.
