* Test for prim obstructions between the avatar and camera. If there are obstructions, inform the client to move the camera closer. This makes it so that walls and objects don't obstruct your view while you're moving around. Try walking inside a hollowed tori. You'll see how much easier it is now because your camera automatically moves closer so you can still see.
* Created a way to know if the user's camera is alt + cammed or just following the avatar.
* Changes IClientAPI interface by adding SendCameraConstraint(Vector4 CameraConstraint)
Set av_capsule_tilted to false in opensim.ini. Default is true, so there is
no change in avatar behavior (and no breaking of existing content which
relies on the tilted capsule).
This commit straightens up the avatar capsule so it behaves consistently
(e.g. same collision behavior against prims regardless of which direction
the avatar is coming from; ability to fit through narrow doorways).
Please note this introduces other side effects which have not been fixed.
In particular:
* The avatar frequently falls through the terrain if it is not flat, though
the avatar behaves pretty well on flat terrain. This requires investigation
of the ode terrain collider.
* The apparent foot position of the avatar with respect to the ground
is changed. This requires investigation of the avatar height/capsule height.
Please consider this as work in progress.
Eat collision errors --- NOTE: this fix might be naive, it seems to
have helped us getting to 81 avatars (whereas we'd crash with 20
before), but it sure would benefit from some check-over by a person
skilled in the art of ODE physics.
* This may help one of the symptoms or mantis 3363 , however it probably won't solve the occasional NonFinite Avatar Position detected.. issues that some people see. That is probably an entirely different issue(NaN).
* In most cases, the setting in OpenSim.ini.example is taken as the canonical one since this is the file virtually everyone ends up using
* OpenSim will start up with a blank OpenSim.ini, in which case sqlite is the default database (as before)
* I'm concerned however that the 'minimum fly height' should really be implemented in ScenePresence and not in the specific physics plugin so that all of the physics plugins can take advantage of it and if desired, a person could swap out the 'minimum fly height' functionality with other functionality.
llSetHoverHeight() should not clamp the x/y position of an object the way MoveTo does,
and it should recalculate the absolute height to hover at as an object moves to reflect
the current ground/water height under it.
Correctly implementing required adjusting the Physics interfaces and implementing at
the physics plug-in level. The attached is a patch that correctly implements
llSetHoverHeight() including updates to the ODE physics plug-in.
* Added log4net dependency to physxplugin in prebuild.xml.
* Added missing m_log fields to classes.
* Replaced Console.WriteLine with appropriate m_log.Xxxx
* Tested that nant test target runs succesfully.
* Tested that local opensim sandbox starts up without errors.
* This fixes crashing on large sets of physical prims because of stack collisions (assuming you follow the directions on linux for starting ode with ulimit). After the maximum joints are created, objects will start to fall through the ground and be disabled. Not the best solution, but it's better then a crash caused by a stack collision with the process exceeding the maximum available memory/recursions per thread.
* Make a clean region, make a stack of 5000 prim, 20 layers high. Make them physical, *SLOW*, but no crash.
* The actual AABB of the heightfield on the Z is now determined by the minimum and maximum heightfield value in the terrain array (assuming it's a reasonable number). This might optimize collisions in simulators that have a small difference between minimum and maximum heightfield values.
* If you log-in while the simulator is starting up, you won't be able to move and the sim stats will say 0 FPS, and 0 Physics Frames and you may see only terrain. Once the sim finishes starting up, it'll all resume as normal.
On a call of llVolumeDetect(1) (or any other number !=0) volume
detection is enabled. Together with VD, the phantom flag is set to the GUI.
On a call of llVolumeDetect(0), vd detection is switched of again,
also the phantom state is removed. On a call to llSetState(STATE_PHANTOM,
false) while VD is active, also VD is switched off. The same is true for
unchecking the phantom flag via GUI. This allows to take back VD without
the need to script just by removing the phantom flag.
Things missing in this patch: persistance of the volume-detection flag.
This needs more discussion and will be included in another patch soon.
* This pushes an identifier for the OpenSim scene to the physics scene. This allows log messages from the physics scene to identify which OpenSim scene they relate to.
* Thanks Gerhard
* Warning! Physics API change. This means that the NBodySimulation needs to be updated!
* PhysicsActor -> void SetVolumeDetect(int) needs to go into classes that use PhysicsActor as their base class.
* Fixed a bug that caused physics proxies to be scattered when you link an object.
* Single physical prim work exactly the same as before, just linked physical prim will have changed.
* Initializes ODE only when a scene is grabbed rather than on plugin load. This means we don't initialize ode if that physics engine is not used, and it allows other ode use
plugins to be used instead.
