chat relaying via private channels, and old IRCBridgeModule
behaviour. also cleaning up IRCBridgeModule's OpenSim.ini
configuration variable names (still supporting "old" variable
names). refactored IRCChatModule into IRCConnector and incorporating
watchdog from IRCBridgeModule into IRCConnector.
enabling ChatModule to be used as a super-class and utilizing it in
ConciergeModule.
See mantis #2379 for some useful scripts that work with this.
Note that I added another configuration parameter in addition to the patch to allow for legacy behavior in the absence of new configuration settings.
old way: each region module interested in chat from client had to
- subscribe to scene.EventManager.OnNewClient
- then in its OnNewClient delegate it would subscribe to
client.OnChatFromViewer to capture chat messages coming
new way: ChatModule is the only region module that uses the "old
way" approach but is now forwarding all client chat via
scene.EventManager.OnChatFromClient
- each region module interested in chat from client now only
subscribes to scene.EventManager.OnChatFromClient
this not only simplifies code, but also allows us to substitute
ChatModule with derived classes (ConciergeModule is going to be one
example).
Also, this changeset changes ChatFromViewer to ChatFromClient as it
doesn't necessarily have to be a viewer that is a chat source.
i've taken great care to only comment out those OnNewClient delegates
that were only used for getting at the client chat --- hope it's not
breaking anything.
* This is a HUGE OMG update and will definitely have unknown side effects.. so this is really only for the strong hearted at this point. Regular people should let the dust settle.
* This has been tested to work with most basic functions. However.. make sure you back up 'everything' before using this. It's that big!
* Essentially we're back at square 1 in the testing phase.. so lets identify things that broke.
* Each module directory is currently inside one of the following category folders: Agent (Anything relating to do with Client<->Server communications.), Avatar (Anything to do with the avatar or presence inworld), Framework (Classes modules can use), Grid (Grid traffic, new OGS2 grid comms), Scripting (Scripting functions, etc), World (The enrivonment/scene, IE Sun/Tree modules.)
* This should be moved into a seperate project file.
