Yeah, not saying it can't be done faster - just providing an explanation of the logic behind it. All LSL-scripts in OpenSim are converted to C#-code and then compiled by the Mono/.Net compiler, so the black magic works.
There once was a choice to dump these converted scripts to disk, but it may have been removed. A breakpoint at the right spot will certainly yield the desired result. :) (If anyone is a bit sporty they'll extract the code and make a web interface for converting LSL to C#) Br, Tedd -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jorge Lima Sent: 6. desember 2010 17:42 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] Slow LSL timers Well, the question here is, are we aiming for full LSL compatibility some day? It seems wise - given the vast amount of content produced for the SL platform over the past 7-8 years, a future version of OpenSim would have much to gain from being 100% compatible. Now, going back to the issue of timers, in the pre-mono days they certainly used to be a little slow, and you couldn't safely go below 0.2-0.3 seconds. Mono is much faster though - and I'm sure filling up the queue with timers is impossible, since a new timer is only scheduled after the current one has finished processing. If you schedule a (0.0001) timer or something, what should happen is that you effectively have a timer scheduled to "as fast as the event handler can be run", assuming you have some bounded and deterministic. If you change the timer within the event handler, you are simply changing the timer's rate of fire. If set to zero, you disable it. I haven't done any thorough testing to validate these assertions, but they seem to match what it says in the LSL wiki. Actually, in spite of the global timer manager, it seems that my previous data shows that by scheduling timers at 0.5 seconds or below it always takes the same 59 seconds to run them. The wiki states that C# scripting is "black magic" and there's only one example of it on the internet, so for the time being I will see if I can stick to LSL, and maybe later I'll try to figure it out :) _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
