* 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.
* Implement the linear impulse portion of llPushObject. We should have a lsl compatible implementation of that portion of the push. Angular.. well. still have yet to implement a torque accumulator.
* llPushObject respects the region and parcel settings for Restrict Push, it also respects GodMode as is defined in the LSL spec.
* Additionally, you can probably get more physical prim now together.. though, I think this puts us back on par with where we were in the beginning of the year on number of physical objects. Experiment. Make videos. Send Feedback. Enjoy.
* If you are hosting many regions on a single instance, you will probably notice a decrease in region startup time and maybe a slight increase in performance.
* Single regions won't notice anything different
* Re-enabled the native ODE prim types when possible
* Fixed several invalid assumptions in the prim recycle process.
* Added better message for 'reused a disposed physicsactor'
* Added a way to recover from errors during collision_optimized
* Added a way to recover from an error condition where prim_geom wasn't reset properly
* If you're experiencing knee bendiness try the windows settings, as the *nix settings seem to now be incorrect. (this update does that, but you may have your own opensim.ini settings active.
* Mac users, pray to chi11ken to make you a .dylib version
* This is semi-tuned and post teravus hack. (Though I didn't apply the terrain pitting fix hack. I'm still deciding if it's necessary as there was a lot of work over the past several months on the heightfield collider.
* Please use '--enable-shared --disable-demos --disable-asserts' if you are building your own libode in the configure step. Asserts are pretty much useless for use with .NET
* This also updates ODE.NET as, there were some API changes in May that were just added to ODE.NET today.
