This is the same as already done for scene_throttle_max_bps
Internally, the token buckets are in bytes and the other help text makes it clear that the number is bytes per second
(though with the wrong assumption that 1 mbit = 1024 * 1024 bits whereas 1 mbit = 1000 kbits = 1000000 bits)
This resolves an issue with pCampbot where some bots would occasionally connect with the same UDP source port.
This sometimes led to console messages where bots would report receiving packets multiple times that weren't marked as resends.
DLLs built under windows
This setting was originally added some time ago to deal with issues where appearance was not received properly by all users.
However, it does not scale well with large numbers of agents.
Disabling to see if the original problem has abated or whether this will have to be tackled in another way.
[Startup] default setting UpdateTempCleaningEveryNFrames becomes UpdateTempCleaningEveryNSeconds.
Default becomes 180s instead of effective 182s (which would also vary with any changes in frame time or extra long frames)
If n > 1 for RootTerseUpdatePeriod only every n terse update is actually sent to observers on same region, unless velocity is effectively zero (to stop av drift).
If n > 1 for ChildTerseUpdatePeriod only every n terse update is sent to observers in other regions, unless velocity is effectively zero.
Defaults are same as before (all packets are sent).
Tradeoff is reduction of UDP traffic vs fidelity of observed av mvmt.
Increasing n > 1 leads to jerky observed mvmt immediateley for root, though not on child, where experimentally have gone to n = 4 before jerkiness is noticeable.
This adds the "show stats", "stats record", etc. commands and information on available Threadpool threads, etc.
It also adds the Watchdog which logs warnings if time between executions is unexpectedly large.
Experimentally, on the Linden Lab grid the avatar can rotate slightly before triggering AvatarUpdates, whereas this is practically impossible in OpenSimulator.
These updates allow other avatars to see rotations, though sensitivity is low since other avatars can only be seen in one of 8 body rotations.
This commit changes sensitivity from 0.01 to 0.1, which better matches LL and reduces UDP traffic which has a beneficial impact on network and CPU load.
This has no impact on rotations in the simulator itself so simulation fidelity is the same as before.
To change this setting back for test/other purposes, edit RootRotationUpdateTolerance in the [InterestManagement] section of OpenSim.ini
Running out of such threads under heavy load causes delayed packet processing which can lead to spurious UDP resends and knock on issues.
We already massively boost the min/max builtin pool worker and IOCP threads (which even with STP are still used for inbound network requests) without obvious adverse effects.
The threads are only instantiated if they are required.
This change does not affect other async_call_method options.
Move the experimental extra features functionality into the GridService. This sends default values for map, search and destination guide, plus ExportSupported control to the region on startup. Please watch http://opensimulator.org/wiki/SimulatorFeatures_Extras for changes and documentation.
These govern when AgentUpdates are sent to observers on position, rotation and velocity changes to an avatar (including the avatar themselves).
Higher values reduce AgentUpdate traffic but at a certain level will degrade smoothness of avatar and perceived avatar movement.
This, by default, enables terrain patches being sent to each avatar
from the avatar away (rather than the old outside-in pattern), only
sending terrain patches within the avatars view distance (making
view loading quicker), and sending multiple terrain patches per
protocol packet (making terrain loading and editing quicker).
co-op should be more stable as it doesn't abort threads, which can trigger virtual machine instability
This change will be invisible to users as script DLLs are recompiled automatically where necessary, though the change won't take affect until the next simulator restart.
This change has no effect on existing script state.
If you want to continue using abort, set ScriptStopStrategy = abort in the [XEngine] section of OpenSim.ini
This is to fix an issue since recent commit fbcb763 where these are no longer removed automatically.
OpenSim.*.config was already not appending these newlines
This is to allow us to get useful information on messaging without being overwhelmed by the rest of groups debug.
Enabled with [Groups] DebugMessagingEnabled = true in config (default false)
Or "debug groups messaging verbose true|false on the console" (similar to existing groups setting).
Done for both xmlrpc and V2 groups.
are kept on another. When users rez items from inventory or take objects from world, an HG-like asset copy takes place between the 2 servers, the world asset server and the user's asset server. This makes the simulators independent of the central asset server.
Note that this an advanced configuration and requires some security strengthening coming up.
config option, LogOverloads, to log when a thread pool overload occurs.
This option defaults to "True" because the logging data is useful for
diagnosing threading issues.
a capsule. Set the default to be the rectangle shape and adjust the
parameters in OpenSimDefaults.ini for the new shape.
The rectangle shape will perform better and avatar height can be
computed more accurately.
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.
Changed UuidGatherer to use 'sbyte' to identify assets instead of 'AssetType'. This lets UuidGatherer handle Materials, which are defined in a different enum from 'AssetType'.
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
