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.
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.
NOTHING has been deleted or moved off to forge at this point. what
has happened is that OpenSim.Region.Environment.Modules has been split
in two:
- OpenSim.Region.CoreModules: all those modules that are either
directly or indirectly referenced from other OpenSim packages, or
that provide functionality that the OpenSim developer community
considers core functionality:
CoreModules/Agent/AssetTransaction
CoreModules/Agent/Capabilities
CoreModules/Agent/TextureDownload
CoreModules/Agent/TextureSender
CoreModules/Agent/TextureSender/Tests
CoreModules/Agent/Xfer
CoreModules/Avatar/AvatarFactory
CoreModules/Avatar/Chat/ChatModule
CoreModules/Avatar/Combat
CoreModules/Avatar/Currency/SampleMoney
CoreModules/Avatar/Dialog
CoreModules/Avatar/Friends
CoreModules/Avatar/Gestures
CoreModules/Avatar/Groups
CoreModules/Avatar/InstantMessage
CoreModules/Avatar/Inventory
CoreModules/Avatar/Inventory/Archiver
CoreModules/Avatar/Inventory/Transfer
CoreModules/Avatar/Lure
CoreModules/Avatar/ObjectCaps
CoreModules/Avatar/Profiles
CoreModules/Communications/Local
CoreModules/Communications/REST
CoreModules/Framework/EventQueue
CoreModules/Framework/InterfaceCommander
CoreModules/Hypergrid
CoreModules/InterGrid
CoreModules/Scripting/DynamicTexture
CoreModules/Scripting/EMailModules
CoreModules/Scripting/HttpRequest
CoreModules/Scripting/LoadImageURL
CoreModules/Scripting/VectorRender
CoreModules/Scripting/WorldComm
CoreModules/Scripting/XMLRPC
CoreModules/World/Archiver
CoreModules/World/Archiver/Tests
CoreModules/World/Estate
CoreModules/World/Land
CoreModules/World/Permissions
CoreModules/World/Serialiser
CoreModules/World/Sound
CoreModules/World/Sun
CoreModules/World/Terrain
CoreModules/World/Terrain/DefaultEffects
CoreModules/World/Terrain/DefaultEffects/bin
CoreModules/World/Terrain/DefaultEffects/bin/Debug
CoreModules/World/Terrain/Effects
CoreModules/World/Terrain/FileLoaders
CoreModules/World/Terrain/FloodBrushes
CoreModules/World/Terrain/PaintBrushes
CoreModules/World/Terrain/Tests
CoreModules/World/Vegetation
CoreModules/World/Wind
CoreModules/World/WorldMap
- OpenSim.Region.OptionalModules: all those modules that are not core
modules:
OptionalModules/Avatar/Chat/IRC-stuff
OptionalModules/Avatar/Concierge
OptionalModules/Avatar/Voice/AsterixVoice
OptionalModules/Avatar/Voice/SIPVoice
OptionalModules/ContentManagementSystem
OptionalModules/Grid/Interregion
OptionalModules/Python
OptionalModules/SvnSerialiser
OptionalModules/World/NPC
OptionalModules/World/TreePopulator
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
type while the console is scrolling. Seamlessly integrates the ICommander
interfaces.
* So at the moment once can type 'help terrain fill' as well as 'terrain fill help'
* Current implementation is a transient hack that should be tidied up soon
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
* Increases the number of ImageDataPackets we send per PriorityQueue pop and tweak it so that the number of packets is ( (2 * decode level) + 1 ) * 2, and (((2 * (5-decode level)) + 1) * 2). The first one sends more data for low quality textures, the second one sends more data for high quality textures.
Console Command: link-mapping <StartXloc> <StartYloc>.
This results in only the last two digits of any of the locations defined in the xml file being used, and those 0-99 values being added to the StartXloc and StartYloc figures.
For more infomation, see the email on the mailing list and the soon to be added instructions on the wiki's hypergrid page.
Also made the Secion Names in xml file case insensitive.
TODO: Add a initial startup option for setting the uri and making it autoload it.
Add support for scanning the xml file to check that its own region(s) aren't in the list, and if they are, ignoring them. This would allow setting up "virtual link/grid lists" on webservers, that people can add their own regions to and also point those regions to those same lists, so they load the other region's data.
Add support for automapping of those region/link lists.
