That sounds pretty interesting, Dzonatas.

What is your viewer called, this TPV derived from Snowglobe with an extra
patch?

Re: [opensource-dev] So you don't like the new TOS and wanna move to the OS grid?

2010-04-04 Thread Dzonatas Sol
Client-side physics is a must have in the new features. The first 
implementation probably would be for avatar clothes, even if the physics 
stay pretty static or just not-so-fluid. Anything is better then some 
attachment that tends to eviscerate the avatar.

Don't mention client-side physics or any kind of physics prediction on 
opensim maillist. You get "colorful" remarks by the admins there. They 
seem not want any kind of physic prediction or client-side physics. It 
seems like opensim is not an option for such avatar features.

I don't mean just linear physics prediction either. I mean even the 
simple type where if objects are static (easily predictable by a 
toggle), then download the static object in bulk as a set before one 
actually arrives at a sim or is logged-in. That way there is no delay 
upon login itself or when 30+ avatars decide to join a sim all at once 
(like at world2worlds evets where the scene doesn't change).

I mentioned Burning Man event earlier on this list on how people could 
subscribe to content a week before they actually visit the sim. Anyways...

I think I may have been the one to author those PHP scripts - it was a
bet made on IRC late at night that I could have a grid up and running
(opensim was at the time single regions only) "by breakfast tomorrow"
- I did, but it was one messy pile of hacks

Re: [opensource-dev] So you don't like the new TOS and wanna move to the OS grid?

2010-04-04 Thread Robert Martin
The "problem" with patches not making it to the core opensim server is
that recently they went ripping through the server to enforce a better
order to things so you could write a patch that did solve a problem
but was useless to the CURRENT code. I think most of the core
functions has become stable but right now if you are not looking at
the latest SVN/GIT copy then you will miss things.

of course there also could be folks that are still running outdated code.

2010-04-04 Thread Gareth Nelson
Probably, but there may again be the whole paranoia over "tainting",
and some of the instability may be normal developmental issues - stuff
that crops up in ongoing development of new features. Note that in my
experience, even a description (without an actual patch or any actual
code) of how to fix bugs is not accepted - though I have a "colourful"
history with opensim.

I'm not up to date on how opensim does QA/testing these days (due
probably in part to the above mentioned "colourful history"), but i'd
imagine that in any project a decent set of tests will catch most
issues, if not all.

Re: [opensource-dev] So you don't like the new TOS and wanna move to the OS grid?

2010-04-04 Thread Gareth Nelson
The thing with OSGrid is that it was meant from the start to be a
public grid where anyone can link up - and so regions there could be
hosted on a 486 with 64mb of RAM (and loads of swap space on
disk..) connected through a VPN over dialup to a satellite
connection in a stormy climate for all you know.

For anything serious, it's wise to stick to the core regions which
have professional hosting arrangements (hi cari.net - remember me?) or
one of the many commercial grids cropping up. I'd ask around to find
who's hottest right now, but advise you find one with a server
development team that does their own patching of opensim, as out of
the box it can be very very buggy.

Re: [opensource-dev] So you don't like the new TOS and wanna move to the OS grid?

2010-04-04 Thread Glen Canaday
Mmm. There are many grids, all running different server versions. All of 
the web-related stuff like the concurrency, etc., is all client-side and 
has nothing at all to do with OpenSim. It's web data and your client 
wasn't configured to look at any other web page with that data.

In short, it looks like what you saw was something akin to a very, very 
bad wireless connection. I used to have the same things in SL (ping 
times near 20 sec) before I replaced my wireless card. Physics engines 
don't work when you can't participate in the server frames! The 
particular grid you were on could have been served from crap hardware 
and connection. The upshot is that they could serve it at all, and that 
you could connect... but people (like me) often tend to bite off more 
than they can chew at times. You need a good machine and good 
connectivity in order to serve regions - which LL has invested *oodles* 
into.

Re: [opensource-dev] HTTPRequests region limit.

2010-04-04 Thread Tateru Nino
llHTTPRequest returns 499 for a whole variety of conditions, actually
including gateway timeouts, some DNS errors, ACL denial, request headers
or request bodies that are larger than the system is willing to handle,
response headers or response bodies that are larger than the system
wants to handle, and more.

If the HTTP status is passed back from the target server, you get it
(except for certain 'unexpected' values, which will automatically cause
the transaction to behave as if it failed) - for every other possible
condition, you seem to get a 499.

[opensource-dev] HTTPRequests region limit.

2010-04-04 Thread Jor3l Boa
Hello there, I need help with llHTTPRequest and a region limit that is
giving me 499 http_status, I was testing and seems like the region stops
accepting requests when one or more scripts requests over 230 pages. None of
those objects reached or passed the 25 requests per 20 seconds limit. Is
there a way to confirm this error and know how many time the server needs to
accept more requests? Thanks and sorry for my english
