I've changed the extension point name, and the internal references that
used the same string. I also fixed up the messaging around the asset
loader so that it is more explicit.
Known issue: after TP, the self client doesn't see the animations going, but others can see them. So there's a bug there (TPs only, crossings seem to be all fine).
Untested: did not test animation overriders; only tested playing animations from the viewer.
and dropped nonths ago, because it is required to get smooth region
crossings with AO running. Without it, in some corner cases, anims will
continue to run in an unstoppable state.
The change makes two principal implementation changes:
[1] It removes the hard coded set of possible asset server client
implementations, allowing any arbitrary implementation that has been
identified to the PluginLoader as an appropriate extension. The
extension point for asset server client extension
is /OpenSim/AssetServerClient. All of the old configuration rules have
been preserved, and any of the legacy configuration values will still
work as they did before, except the implementation is now loaded as a
plug-in, rather than as a hard-coded instantiation of a specific class.
The re-hashing of IAssetServer as an extension of IPlugin made upgrading
of the implementation classes a necessity.
Caveat: I have not been able to meaningfully test the crypto-grid
clients. I believe they should work correctly, but the refactoring
necessary to handle plug-in based initialization (vs constructor-based
initialisation) admits the possibility of a problem.
[2] The asset cache implementation, previously introduce as a hard-code
class instantiation is now implemented as an IPlugin. Once again the
previous (configurationless) behavior has been preserved. But now it is
possible for those interested in experimenting with cache technologies
to do so simply by introducing a new extension for the asset cache
extension point (/OpenSim/AssetCache).
I've tested all of the configuration settings, after applying the patch
to a newly extracted tree, and they seem to work OK.
interface. Shared modules will now only get added once, so the command
handler is called once per module, not once per scene. Removal of scenes
has no adverse effects. Nonshared modules will be called for each scene.
These changes replace all direct references to the AssetCache with
IAssetCache. There is no change to functionality. Everything works as
before.
This is laying the groundwork for making it possible to register
alternative asset caching mechanisms without disrupting other parts of
OpenSim or their dependencies upon AssetCache functionality.
line editing, context sensitive help (press ? at any time), command line
history, a new plugin command system and new appender features thet let you

interfaces.
OpenSim.Region.Environment into a "framework" part and a modules only
part. This first changeset refactors OpenSim.Region.Environment.Scenes,
OpenSim.Region.Environment.Interfaces, and OpenSim.Region.Interfaces
into OpenSim.Region.Framework.{Interfaces,Scenes} leaving only region
modules in OpenSim.Region.Environment.
The next step will be to move region modules up from
OpenSim.Region.Environment.Modules to OpenSim.Region.CoreModules and
then sort out which modules are really core modules and which should
move out to forge.
I've been very careful to NOT BREAK anything. i hope i've
succeeded. as this is the work of a whole week i hope i managed to
keep track with the applied patches of the last week --- could any of
you that did check in stuff have a look at whether it survived? thx!
* Typing help will now give a list of these topics at the top (as well as the rest of the current help stuff)
* Typing help <topic> will give information about commands specific to that topic
* This option makes OpenSim use the usual db based asset service in standalone, and the grid based one in grid mode
* The other options can (local, grid, etc) can still be used explicitly as before
* Also change OpenSim.ini.example and the surrounding explanative text
