[Opensim-users] Everything that has a beginning has an end

2015-08-09 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

Hi folks,

As some of you may have noticed, my last OpenSimulator commit was in May, and before that in March. I have also not
been on the mailing list or responsive to personal e-mails, for which I apologise.

Unfortunately, for various reasons (some of which I'm still trying to work out, to be honest) my motivation to work in
this area has gone away. Perhaps it's just the normal passage of time and evolving interests - it has been 8 years
after all!

I'm now working in the area of data integration for genetics and synthetic biology, an even more insanely complex system
and perhaps ultimately frustrating since you can't just go and code an organism (at least, not yet). We shall see.

I do hope to keep up with the mailing lists and e-mail to this account, at least much better than recently. However,
although I remain a core committer, at least for now, in the immediate future code commits from me will be extremely
sparse. I will also probably not be reviewing code changes in general.

I am also resigning with immediate effect as president of Overte, which is going away as a formal legal organization
anyway (see other e-mails for more details on that).

It's been a wild 8 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. Huge thanks to everybody who has supported OpenSimulator
and me personally in that time. I wish you all the best and I'm sure OpenSimulator and the Metaverse in general will
have a great future

I made a blog post at [1] those this is pretty much what I said above.

No flowers.

[Opensim-users] OpenSimulator 0.8.1 released

2015-03-16 Thread Justin Clark-Casey


I'm pleased to announce that OpenSimulator 0.8.1 is now available [1].  Release 
notes are at [2].

There are only minor changes compared with 0.8.1-rc2, the most significant being a fix for a regression where script 
state was being lost for Hypergrid transfers.


As always, thanks to all the developers, testers, documenters and other community members who contributed towards this 
release.

[Opensim-users] OpenSimulator 0.8.1-rc2, 0.8.0.4 and 0.7.6.3 now available

2015-03-04 Thread Justin Clark-Casey


As pre-announced on Monday, OpenSimulator 0.8.1-rc2 [1], 0.8.0.4 [2] and 
0.7.6.3 [3] now available [4].

* OpenSimulator 0.7.6.3 and 0.8.0.4 are security releases.  Thus, they contain only two functional changes compared to 
previous point releases and no database migrations.  The changes are


1.  llHttpRequest() and osSetDynamicTextureURL*() script functions are now prevented by default from sending HTTP 
requests to localhost addresses or other addresses on the simulator's LAN (e.g. 192.168.1.2, etc.).  The list of 
addresses conforms to that in [5].


If you need to allow scripts to make calls to such addresses, please add specific exceptions to [Network] 
OutboundDisallowForUserScriptsExcept in OpenSim.ini.  Details on the format of this are in OpenSim.ini.example.


I WOULD SAY THAT YOU SHOULD UPDATE ASAP if you run any installation where you do not trust all users that can execute 
llHTTPRequest() (including those entering via Hypergrid).


The exception (and alternative) is if you have already configured llHTTPRequest()/osSetDynamicTextureURL*() to run 
through a properly configured HTTP proxy using the existing [Startup] HttpProxy setting in OpenSim.ini.


2.  Private services now forbid llHTTPRequest() calls.  This is to prevent such calls by simulators that have not been 
updated.  If you run any grid where you cannot immediately update all simulators to one of these releases (e.g. an open 
grid where private service calls are restricted by IP to known simulators) then YOU SHOULD UPDATE SERVICES ASAP.


* OpenSimulator 0.8.1-rc2 contains the above changes and further changes in 
master since rc1 up until 7e8bad05.

These issues have existed ever since llHTTPRequest() functionality was added in 2007!  Thus, ALL RELEASES PRIOR TO 0.7.6 
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE unless you trust all possible callers of llHTTPRequest()/osSetDynamicTextureURL*() or you 
have an HTTP proxy configured for OpenSimulator.  Ideally, one might go back and update much older releases but 
resources are scarce and 0.7.5 is now more than 2 years old.

One further related question however:
I am assuming that 'CombineContiguousRegions' needs to be set to

Is this the case? When testing this, setting to 'true' seems to
cause problems for building outside the root

expect anymore! :)

If you're doing something with Kitely then you would have to

I have tried saving reloading the megaregion oar in

whole megaregion
saved/loaded as a single oar, but it didn't fix the problem.
Also tried it with 'fix-phantom'
backup both before and
after, and even rebooted the server which didn't do the
trick either.

This would suggest (as you noted) that 256^2 regions cannot
be loaded individually into a megaregion
and still function,
although I think in some of my reading about this issue I
had seen where people were doing just that
and having it work
for them (I could be mistaken about this).

Can individual regions be saved from a megaregion as
individual oar files? Guess I need to test
that, because at this
point the only solution I can think is to completely
rebuild those three non-root-sims. :|

Hi all,

This is possibly going to be a really dumb question, so please forgive me
if it is - my Googling skills seem to have given me a few 'vague' answers
but nothing definite.

With respect to HyperGrid, I note that work began around 0.7.6 for
supporting an export flag for objects.  The release notes indicate at this
point it should be considered experimental.

I can't really find any other mention of it in release notes, and my
Googling seems to suggest that some grids (ie Kitely) may have progressed
further on this feature but nothing to say 'it is or isn't working for
everyone now'.

So my potentially dumb question is: Given no further mention in the
release notes, is it a feature that can still be considered
'experimental', or has it progressed to the point that it can be
considered a working feature?

Cheers!

Re: [Opensim-users] Is the user name the only information used to lock content permissions in opensim?

2015-02-11 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

There is a save oar option, --home=url where one can insert Hypergrid still creator information that will get 
preserved when loaded to another grid even if the user does not exist there.


However, I've practically never used this option so I can't say for sure that 
it still works.

One can do this with creator since the field is relatively free form and not used programatically in any significant 
way.  The owner field is a completely different matter (it's used in permissions, for instance) and one can't insert 
arbitrary data here without a lot of internal and SL protocol changes.

owner of all the content in the OAR
and all previous permission restrictions would be lost. Since everything is 
referenced by uuid, having multiple accounts
in different grids with the same name would not solve this issue. Restoring the 
OAR onto a standalone, local simulator
would have the same effect of stripping all previous owner and permissions

In fact, the NWC-XML-RPC is behaving as though it doesn’t know how to encode 
anything but plain strings. The
transactionID should be the type OpenMetavers.UUID (which seems to be a wrapper 
around GUUID) and remoteClient should
be an IEndPoint from System.Net http://system.net/.

Obviously I’m missing something but I’m not sure what.

How does one encode OpenMetaverse and other .NET objects so that the XML-RPC 
client on the other end is able to decode
them?

Re: [Opensim-users] Unable to login using master?

2014-10-22 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

Okay, that last commit is the first of 4 updates I made recently to the libomv libraries.  I presume things also fail 
with OpenSim.exe for you on current head?


As far as I know you're using Windows?  If so, which version (or which version of mono)?  I may well try rebuilding the 
libraries in Windows instead (I did it in Mono) and see if it helps, though if that's the cause I'm surprised things 
look like they work fine on my own Windows machine.

Re: [Opensim-users] IAR Import question

2014-09-17 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

This isn't correct.  Currently, if an OAR or IAR is loaded and it references asset IDs which already exist, then these 
will be used and assets will not be loaded again.


On 15/09/14 04:32, Thomas Ringate wrote:

That makes sense.  That means each time you import an IAR you are adding more 
items to your asset database.  I assume
once an object is in the database it is there forever.  Deleting it from you

database only from my inventory I understand.  On a private standalone  it 
sounds like it would be a good idea to drop
you database and start over rather then keep loading IARs of your inventory 
from OSgrid.
It is a pain to delete the duplicates in inventory but the simple way I was 
using was to delete everything in inventory
and then load the new IAR.
That make it appear like I don’t have much but in fact I guess every time I do 
that my asset database grows in size by
some 12,000 items.

Re: [Opensim-users] Question; What is the difference between and ASSET and a ITEM

2014-09-17 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

You're correct that usually one would look up the item via the Item ID and then look up the asset via the asset ID in
the item.

However, in this case both item ID and asset ID are embedded directly. In the case of NPCs, the item ID is actually
ignored (and could be zeroed). The asset IDs are vital since they point to baked textures and attachments.

This is why one needs to clone an existing avatar's appearance for an NPC - for an avatar the viewer has done the work
of baking and uploading the textures and we simply make those persistent in the database instead of transient. If we
had code to bake appearances server-side then this wouldn't be necessary.

On 13/09/14 17:29, Marcus Llewellyn wrote:

My understanding is that the item ID is used by inventory as a pointer to an
asset. Since NPCs don't have an inventory,
they effectively borrow inventory items from a user. Both the item UUID and the
asset UUID are needed for an appearance
note card to work.

On Sep 13, 2014 11:20 AM, Thomas Ringate tring...@gmail.com
mailto:tring...@gmail.com wrote:

In the appearance notecard for an NPC two UUID’s are listed for each object
that is attached, or for wearables.
Example:
keypoint/key
integer8/integer
keyitem/key
uuidb9bb4e8f-2ba0-4f02-a47c-2efbfc9b2299/uuid
keyasset/key
uuid5225b537-dc05-4e0b-9a03-23a1990ec5a8/uuid
What is the difference between the “ASSET” and the “ITEM”?
I have discovered that if the UUID is present in my asset cache the NPC
will rezz without any difficulty but if it
is missing, I only will see a cloud, or partial NPC.
I have written a php program that decodes the appearance note card, finds
the asset in the cache, reads the asset,
and then displays what the NPC
is made of. It displays the name of the object, and allows me to remove
attachments or replace them with other
attachments.
I have identified those textures required as a minimum for an NPC to rezz.
This makes it simpler to delete
notecards that will result
in a non-displayable NPC.
I use this to preprocess appearance note cards to make it faster to only
rezz good appearances.

This is true (and yet another thing to fix) but it won't lose you any content per se - it will mean that the user has to 
rewear their outfit and appearance may be the cloud until they do.


In general, I do agree that this seems more trouble than it's worth but I presume that you're seeing unexpected issues 
with your current setup?  Migration via IARs is extremely painful for more than a few users.  I'm somewhat curious how 
you switched from mssql to mysql in the first place.

Yes, estate information is not part of any archive file so that can't be 
'rectified' in this manner.

An additional thought is that I'm not entirely sure this kind of rebuild would fix issues anyway.  Data glitches may 
well find their way into the archives and you could be back with the same problems (whatever they are), though there is 
some chance it may clean some data as a side effect.

Re: [Opensim-users] Region permissions and OAR files

2014-08-27 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

You created a land owner account with create user on the console but no corresponding user inventory was created?
That is odd. Or was this created via some other means (e.g. some diva distro ui mechanism?).

get to the two regions that were banned. I
fixed one region by allowing public on the region, yay. The other region was
still owned by Land Owner, and the estate

I think the solution is to go into the DB and change ownership to the New Owner.

Re: [Opensim-users] Issue with the Diva.Wifi.dll in OpenSim 0.8

2014-08-25 Thread Justin Clark-Casey


Looking at the source code [1], my guess would be that SmtpPort is not an 
integer in your config.

I'm not sure why the code doesn't use appConfig.GetInt() instead which would have yielded more useful information from 
Nini (config parsing library).  It already uses this method later on for a different parameter!

There are a number of urban legends floating around opensim. Here are some:

1) It's bad to put numeric IP in ini's.

To be honest, people often advise the opposite, particularly in the region
config external host.

I'm not entirely sure why - from my experience FQDNs work fine there (I think the simulator might be storing them as IP
numbers underneath, I can't remember offhand).

2) If your simulator is on port 9000, put your first region on port 1. It
will reduce latency.

Er, no truth to this at all :)

3) Create a first, empty, hidden simulator in ROBUST's directory (this is for
ppl that clone the bin/ directory for
each simulator). This will accelerate asset transfers.

Again, not true.

This might come from the fact that simulators have a disk asset cache and some people argue that disk is faster than
database. However, when I last looked into this there was no conclusive evidence either way with many people saying
there's no difference and I've yet to see someone produce comparative benchmarks for the OpenSimulator case.

The asset service is not coded to use any Flotsam cache present anyway.

[Opensim-users] OpenSimulator 0.8.0.1 now available

2014-08-22 Thread Justin Clark-Casey


Hi folks,

I just made OpenSimulator 0.8.0.1 available [1].  This is a bug fix release 
from the 0.8-post-fixes Git branch.

The major reason for this release is to address a Hypergrid teleport regression, where on teleport attachments could 
disappear or sometimes appear twice.


Hence, this is probably of greatest interest to people using the Hypergrid, though this release also contains various 
other fixes that should have low risk of causing regressions.  Please see the release notes [2] for more details.


There are a couple of extra configuration parameters but there are in OpenSimDefaults.ini, so if you aren't changing 
this file (which we strongly recommend you don't!) then you should be fine just using your existing config files.


This release also does not contain any database migrations.

Many thanks to all the developers, testers and other community members who 
contributed to this!

Re: [Opensim-users] Urban legends (Was :Configuring a multi-hosted grid)

2014-08-22 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

Yeah, I've tried a shared cache before and it seems to be okay. It's a bit messy because multiple simulators may
attempt to clean up the cache at the same time, which results in quite a few seeing messy file not found warnings,
though these should not be harmful.

It's hard to know how to get around this problem without making the cache yet another process or doing messy things like
designating only one simulator to actually clean up files. I also think the cache needs a facility to limit by size
(like every other cache in the known universe :).

You can indeed give each instance its own asset cache directory. My rationale

less network traffic, and also a modest
speed up when regions are first started in some circumstances.

Because an asset may have been cached already by another simulator.

My only concern has been that a single asset cache that has multiple copies of
Flotsam managing it might at some point
encounter some sort of conflict or collision. So far, I've noticed nothing of
the sort, though. In practice, a single
asset cache has been working fine for me.

So shared cache is a better option, until we discover a drawback.

Re: [Opensim-users] Varregion works :) but physics need update ...

2014-08-19 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

This is the case.  We say not to change things directly in OpenSimDefaults.ini because that can change between releases, 
sometimes changing parameters to make OpenSimulator work better or resolve other issues.  Hence, it's safer to override 
things in OpenSim.ini.  There are a few more details about this at [1].

http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Configuring_Simulator_Parameters#Changing_Simulator_Settings

On 19/08/14 22:13, Thomas Ringate wrote:

Isn't this dependent on your specific distribution of opensim?
My understanding is that opensim first loads opensimdefault.ini, then loads 
opensim.ini, then loads grid.ini, and then
loads gridcommon.ini

There is nothing wrong with the same parameter being defined in every one of 
those files, and each can have a different
setting.  The one that will be in effect is the last one loaded.

So, lets say there is a parameter of:
PARM1  = never in opensimdefault.ini
PARM1  = occasionally in opensim.ini
PARM1  = somtimes in grid.ini
PARM1  = always in gridcommon.ini

The final setting of PARM1 will be always since that is the last value it was 
set to.

It makes sense to put your modifications into the last file loaded to make sure 
some other file does not change it on you.
You could add an include of your special modification to gridcommon.ini and 
call it mychanges.ini and put that file in
some directory totally safe from updates.
Just remember the includes position in the file is where you statements will 
reside.  In the setting a values make sure
the same parameter is not set after your include.
For me I put all my modifications at the end of gridcommon.ini

I could be all wet, but this has worked for me ever since I started doing 
programming.  I doubt opensim uses any values
until after it finishes loading them .

Re: [Opensim-users] How do you use osForceAttachToOtherAvatarFromInventory and other OSSL functions with NPC's

2014-08-19 Thread Justin Clark-Casey


Yeah, I did suggest that originally but I see now that it can't work.

All those osForceAttachment* commands assume that the receiving avatar has an inventory.  However, NPCs currently have 
no notion of inventory, so none of that stuff will work for them.


The cloning of the avatar doesn't suffer this because the code was written to avoid the inventory requirement.  The same 
could most probably be done for these force commands but it would require some non-trivial changes.  It doesn't require 
the NPC to have any notion of scene but it would require that the code operate by attaching objects directly instead of 
requesting that they are attached from an inventory item (on attaching, 'normal' avatars get an item in their inventory 
for the attachment).

I have tried several variations to using these OSSL functions and they all work

I have not been successful at putting an attachment on an NPC.
I chose to test with the osForceAttachToOtherAvatarFromInventory function.
I tested with both “owned” and “un-owned” NPC’s.

  I read in a post you made sometime ago where you implied you could use the 
OSSL function
osForceAttachToAvatarFromInventory and
  the other OSSL commands as well.
  The original post suggested a way to attach using an lsl function which I 
have not yet tried. Your suggestion was to
use the OSSL functions.
  I have tried doing the following:
  create a box and place the script below in it.
  create another box named “testbox”, and put it in the first box along with 
the script.
  I have then tried using “box 1” in these ways.
  - place it on the ground and touch it
  - wear it and touch it
  - wear it and clone myself, and then touch it on my cloned NPC.
  None of these will attach the “testbox” to the NPC.
  They all attach it to my real avatar.
  Did attaching an object to an NPC work in the past?  Is it broken in the 
release OSGrid put out Aug. 16, 2014?

  Here is the script:
  //XEngine:lsl

Re: [Opensim-users] Win-7 Region Server to Ubuntu 14.04 Robust

Being able to see Windows services from your Linux box is no guarantee that your Windows services can see Robust 
services running on OpenSimulator.


As you say, I think this is likely to be a firewall (iptables) or other network config issue.  The same configuration 
that you used on Windows will work on Linux, everything else being equal.

I have since opted-in to running the robust (SQL and one region) in a Ubuntu

have confirmed that all the software that is installed are all up to date.
In addition, I can see the entire Windows network from the Ubuntu drive

I believe it comes down to either an iptables or a network setting that is

When you say it was running fine in a Windows environment, it sounds like
you were still running the robust service on the same machine as the
simulator(s).  If so, thne you are effectively making two changes, not 1

1.  Running services under Linux/Mono.
2.  Running services on a different machine on the LAN.

If so and if you can, I suggest trying to get services running under Windows
on a different machine first, if that's an environment that you're more

copied over to a Linux service installation.

It is the transition of moving the Robust server and SQL over to a

[Opensim-users] Load test 2 report

2014-07-22 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

For anyone interested, I just wrote up a report on last week's load test on my blog at [1].  One point of interest is 
that I wrote some Python tools to crank out summary info and graphs from stat logs.  To be honest, I spent most of my 
available load test time writing these but I think it's a worthwhile investment as it will make future analysis easier 
both for load tests and in other situations.


There's another load test at 8pm BST (12 pm PT, 3pm ET, 9pm CEST) today on the 
conference keynote regions.

Re: [Opensim-users] Hoping for a fearless comparison of opensim vs unity 3D

2014-07-21 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

.  In OpenSim
and Second LIfe,  once you put the wheels on the car and make a link-set,  all traces of 
wheel are gone, and it
becomes absurdly difficult to go back and put different wheels on the car if 
each wheel has 47 parts like spokes or
lugnuts. You can approximate some of that capacity with Builder's Buddy 
or other tools that let you rez an entire
multiobject scene with one click, but those are a true pain to load and 
maintain.

So,  whether it's Unity or OpenSim,  I think one thing that is needed that is 
very hard to still see for Virtual reality
natives is exactly HOW SIMPLE the INITIAL interface has to be, so that it is 
satisfying and rewarding to try to use for
a terrified newbie, peeking though the fingers of the hands over the eyes.   So 
simple in fact that even a faculty
member might say Oh heck, even I can do THAT!.

===
*On weakest links in collaborative environments*

And both faculty and students are greatly upset by technological failure where 
they are used to trivial behavior, such
as having voice working.   The collaborative environment is much harsher than 
individual user environment since for
voice (or many other things) to actually be useful,  it has to work for 
EVERYONE, not just most people.

This is a feature of collaborative environments that I didn't realize till Gary 
Olsen pointed it out.  A collaborative
environment can become a weakest link exposer, where everyone's experience is 
limited by the least capable user.
This is one of the issues with, say, Electronic Health Records systems that is 
underappreciated and distinguishes it
from, say,  a cloud-based spreadsheet.

Re: [Opensim-users] Autobackup Question

2014-06-16 Thread Justin Clark-Casey

I originally added this module as a contribution and somewhat regretted it, as the original submitter didn't stick
around to write doc or debug it and I've never found time to do either. So I can't say much about how it works (or not)
and don't have much time to change that fact. However, Alicia Raven did contribute a fix recently in c1bdd22, though
that was on 4th June so should have been in your code.

It was one of those marginal calls. I can see where autobackup to OARs could be pretty useful - I've been in a few
situations now where people ideally would like to be able to restore the state of a region at known checkpoints. But
it's a complicated thing to do well (esp. if one wants to avoid it taking up huge amounts of disk space) and may
arguably be better left to a more complete external system.

@Jeff: TY for the tip ; but even when i put this in my region.ini

AutoBackupModuleEnabled = True
AutoBackup = True
AutoBackupInterval = 30

AutoBackupBusyCheck = True

no backup is created ! Any ideas ?

Is it preceded by

[AutoBackupModule]

Hello

Do you put this section in OpenSim.ini ?

What is the name you must give to the .txt ? autobackup.txt ?

I only find this page on the wiki
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Feature_Proposals/AutoBackup
And there is no information about the .txt

Thanks for your help

Philippe

That suggests one of your clothing or body parts somehow got corrupted.  Have 
you tried replacing each of these in turn?

Help with NPC (OpenSimulator)

Good morning,

I am studying NPC (OpenSimulator). However, when tested NPC + notecard my avatar turned 
red smoke. I've tried many
things and not restore.

It has happened to you?

/I have also deleted all the scripts that created/

I'm there some days with this error

thank you very much
