* Fixes the admin_shutdown xmlrpc method
* Adds a share/python/console/shutdown.py script for shutting down a background OpenSim
* For more details see http://xyzzyxyzzy.net/2008/04/29/console-less-opensim/
* There should also be instructions in the opensimulator wiki soon as well
Note: This is the first part of some changes from Dr Scofield to support console-less operation of an OpenSim region server.
The changes are not yet complete.
* refactors OpenSimMain into two classes: OpenSimMain and
OpenSimMainConsole. OpenSimMainConsole derives from OpenSimMain
and basically is the "old" OpenSimMain
* drops StartConsole from RegionApplicationBase (was only called
from the "old" OpenSimMain anyhow)
* reverts the changes to TryGetScene(string, out scene) as that
seems to work perfectly fine
* adds a check to region-remove to see whether
m_sceneManger.CurrentScene is non-null before comparing it against
the region-to-be-removed
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
cheers,
dr scofield
* (and Ansgar/Ansi)
* Fleshes out the voice stubs to better interact with the viewer CAPS requests - no actual voice support yet!
* In his own words
"the attached patch enhances the existing voice support by returning a proper voice account user and password and is preparing the config file so that we can specify a SIP server (not yet working). currently the SIP is hardcoded. the next step is to refactor voice support into a region module. working on that. "
* Renamed plugin console message, to send a message to a plugin, use either "plugin <message>", or any unrecognised message will be sent ("plugin" sends explicitly) This replaces the old "script <message>".
* Terrain commands - "terrain <command>" now works again. "Script terrain <command>" does not. Many of the commands have now been reimplemented, eg load-tile. However some have new syntax.
* New console command handler, you can now use things like "terrain help" or "terrain save help". See TerrainModule.cs for an example of how to use the new "Commander" class.
* Commander class - advanced processing of console input and also enables a script API to be generated from registered console commands.
Most likely doesn't really work in grid mode as the generated textures are marked as temporary and I don't think they are updated to the asset server. We have to either live with these textures being sent to the asset server, and manually clean them out from time to time or wait until there is some asset management system in place.
Also currently the texture is only generated at region startup, it is not updated after terraforming.
* This means that caps methods (editing scripts, poss map functions, etc) on non-home regions should now work with servers which are listening for http ports on a non default
(9000) port.
* If you are running a region server, this may only work properly once your grid server upgrades to this revision
* PLEASE NOTE: This shouldn't cause inter-region problems if one end of the connection hasn't upgraded to this revision. However if it does, the instability will persist until
the grid and region (and possibly all the region's neighbours) have upgraded to this revision.
* This revision also adds extra login related messages, both for success and failure conditions
* See OpenSim.ini.example for more details
* The old sqlite/mssql settings were redundant and effectively ignored anyway. Hence, there's no need for you to change your current settings, which will still work
* In fact, asset_database should probably be moved to [Network] since it's meaningless for standalone installations
