Hi Dear,
Thanks for the previous help! Now, I am in a position to create a new
region on a remote system and now working to transfer the client from a
region to the newly generated region. I have a bit of confusion here in
Client and Agent, that are clearly defined in the wiki. In some older work
to get circuitcode it is referred to a client through ClientManager of a
scene object. I can see that there is a change in the code now, I been
through the serializable class for agentCiruitData, which I am assuming is
the replacement to get serialization for a client data.
Client refers to the viewer as a whole. An agent is an agent of the client in a particular region of a particular
simulator. Each agent has a separate network connection (circuit) with the client.
Agents can be root agents or child agents. A root agent exists in the sim that the client's avatar is in. A lot of the
interaction with the simulator flows through this root agent.
Child agents existing on neighbouring regions and send back information about events on those regions - this is why the
viewer can 'see' into those regions even though they might be hosted on remote servers.
AgentCircuitData does hold connection information. ClientManager is probably a
name from the old days.
I am asking for some guidance if I am looking into the right place at this
point. I was thinking to see how the teleport mechanism is working which
might give me an idea. I am sorry, if asking something too stupid. Thanks
again! Need guidance in a correct direction.
The bulk of the code for the teleport mechanism is in
OpenSim/Region/CoreModules/Framework/EntityTransfer/EntityTransferModule. It is involved and complicated so will
probably require a large amount of study. Unfortunately, I don't know of any place where the teleport mechanism is
documented at a higher level.
