[10:58] Shez Oyen: Hey Neb [10:58] Freaky.Tech @freakytech.spdns.de:8002 is Online [10:58] Nebadon Izumi is Online [10:58] Nebadon Izumi: hello [10:58] Connecting to in-world Voice Chat... [10:58] Connected [10:58] Marcus Llewellyn: Hey Neb. [10:58]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Hi [10:58]  Connecting to in-world Voice Chat... [10:58] Connected [10:58] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: hi neb [10:58] Marcus Llewellyn: Hiua Hustin. [10:59] Marcus Llewellyn: Er, Hiya Justin [10:59] Nebadon Izumi: hello [10:59] Justin Clark-Casey: hello [10:59] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: hi justin [10:59] Marcus Llewellyn: Chiclet Keyboards. *sigh* [11:00] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: hi all [11:00] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Hello RiRa [11:00] Shez Oyen: Hey Rich :) [11:02]  Nebadon Izumi: Looks like Moses guys are going to attempt to pull off integrating PhysX [11:02]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002 wonders if I'll top last DFriday's "unable to fetch profile data at this time" error message count today [11:02]  Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: as its st patricks day i changed your flags to ireland neb :) [11:02] Nebadon Izumi: nice :) [11:03]  Marcus Llewellyn: I'm mostly wondering if PhysX will work on Linux. [11:03]  Nebadon Izumi: should [11:03]  Nebadon Izumi: its going to require a wrapper no matter what [11:03]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: is that some distributed thing, or does the server need a GPU? [11:03]  Nebadon Izumi: nah it has a software version [11:03]  Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: i havnt had any profile popups today aine [11:03]  Kayaker Magic: I think InWorldz is using PhysX, but I don't know what OS their servers is running. [11:03]  Marcus Llewellyn: It can do CPU, GPU, or both. At least on Windows, where there's driver support for that. Linux, I don't know for sure if it can use the GPU. [11:03]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: I've had 19 so far [11:04]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: on Friday I got up to 130 before I crashed [11:04]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i hope it's using hardware too. what what does that mean for the energy bi,ll :O [11:04] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: at Doro's party [11:04] Nebadon Izumi: Profile popups? [11:04] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I see them, dunno what that's about. [11:04] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: I'd hoped that clearing cache would solve it but apparently not [11:04] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: besdies. the server only have simple graphics cards onboard stuff [11:04] Nebadon Izumi: not expereinced that one [11:04] Nebadon Izumi: ya you would not need a GPu for PhysX [11:04] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: I get one for every agent that enters the region [11:04] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: and only in OSG [11:05] Nebadon Izumi: it would work the same as ODE or Bullet [11:05] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: But GPU would make it betetr :) [11:05]  Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: i was getting them for every person that entered lastweek, not a single one sofar today [11:05]  Nebadon Izumi: if they can even make that work with opensim [11:05]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: you're lucky, Alicia [11:05]  Billy.Bradshaw @hg.viewtwo.net:8600: If you are from a grid using core profiles and visit a grid using the old one, then you get the profile warning [11:05]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: ah, so that's what it is [11:05]  Nebadon Izumi: I think how they are going about it may not make it suitable for inclusion into opensim, we will have to see [11:05]  Nebadon Izumi: i give it a 50/50 chance right now [11:06]  Nebadon Izumi: I just wish they didnt want to really try to pull it of themselves [11:06]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i think make it as module [11:06] Marcus Llewellyn: If they take Robert's route, and don't touch core, it shouldn't be too difficult to include. [11:06] Nebadon Izumi: yes lets hope [11:06] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: It's the only right one maarcus. best to maintain too [11:07] Marcus Llewellyn: The other thing, though, is PhysX's licensing. It may be free as in beer, but it's not libre free. [11:07] Nebadon Izumi: they also said they have no intention of keeping compatibility with SL stuff [11:07] Nebadon Izumi: so even if its a module [11:07] Nebadon Izumi: it might not be very useful for core [11:07] Nebadon Izumi: if nothing works like the other physics modules [11:07] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: It's doubtful that they would maintain it too. [11:07] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: MeH, whats the use then for physy ? [11:07] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: it's also card-specific isn't it? it's anVidea-onbly thing? [11:07] Nebadon Izumi: no its not [11:08] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: oh...okies [11:08] Billy.Bradshaw @hg.viewtwo.net:8600: I saw an update that addressses the script status when HG TP, for me it still fails [11:08] Nebadon Izumi: physx will run at the cpu level [11:08] Marcus Llewellyn: No. You can only use Nvidi a cards for GPU calculations, though, I think. But that isn't required. [11:08] Nebadon Izumi: not requiring any GPu at all [11:08] OtakuMegane Desu: Kinda that. I'm sure there are some who would have used for it but the vast majority I don't really see what use it'd be. [11:08] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i think fixing HG friends etc. things like that is more important [11:08] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: ok thatis good to know, I thought it needed a GPU too [11:08] Kayaker Magic: PhysX uses a GPU on the server side, if available? [11:09] OtakuMegane Desu: BulletSim is coming along nicely and certainly beats ODE, so why add another one? [11:09] Nebadon Izumi: only if its programmed to do so [11:09]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I guess they are trying to get the physics performance up so they can populate sims with active users [11:09] Nebadon Izumi: Bullet can use GPu too [11:09] OtakuMegane Desu: ^ [11:09] Nebadon Izumi: but we have no support for it yet [11:09] Jak Daniels: I think it would only use the GPU in the client where physics is client based [11:09] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: hi [11:09]  Nebadon Izumi: infact as of right now bulletsim cant even use more than a single cpu core [11:09] Nebadon Izumi: its single thread app [11:09] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Hi Dahlia [11:09] OtakuMegane Desu: Linux support for OpenCL is still kinda iffy, but improving. [11:10] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Still wish opensim get its own viewer. there's now still enough time. [11:10] Nebadon Izumi: it may prove difficult to make the simulator physics use a gpu [11:10] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: hi dahlia [11:10] OtakuMegane Desu: It shouldn't be too hard. [11:11] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I doubt many datacenters have gpu in their boxes? [11:11] Nebadon Izumi: ya remember though everything passes through the simulator still [11:11] OtakuMegane Desu: At least I wouldn't think so. I'm not the expert on that though XD [11:11] Nebadon Izumi: which is C# and mono [11:11] Marcus Llewellyn: It's PhysX's license that worries me more than anything, really. [11:11] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: besides many datacenters are not have the power for the gpu cards. [11:11] Justin Clark-Casey: they're talking using the gpu server-side I expect [11:11] Nebadon Izumi: so the returns would be very limited i suspect [11:11] Nebadon Izumi: yes [11:11] OtakuMegane Desu: Bluewall: No, GPUs in servers are uncommon unless it's specialized stuff like bitcoin or scientific simulators [11:11] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I thought Physx used Cuda, not OpenCL [11:11] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: could be wrong tho [11:11] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: im happy with bullet, and that can only get better [11:12] Nebadon Izumi: iI think PhysX is PhysX [11:12] Nebadon Izumi: its not cuda either [11:12] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: you sure? [11:12] Marcus Llewellyn: It would be interesting to hear why they feel it's better to implement PhysX rather than improve Bullet. [11:12] Nebadon Izumi: well if its using GPU it might be cuda [11:12] Nebadon Izumi: but if its only using the Cpu no [11:12]  Nebadon Izumi: there would be no cuda [11:12] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: who knows? [11:12] Kayaker Magic: Right now I don't use BulletSim because it doesn't work with bullets! (fails to fire collision events!) [11:12] OtakuMegane Desu: BulletSim 3 will be OpenCL so you can use anything that had a driver for it pretty much. [11:12] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Physx is Nvidia and so is Cuda [11:13] OtakuMegane Desu: Bullet* [11:13] Nebadon Izumi: yes [11:13] Nebadon Izumi: but they are seperate things [11:13] Nebadon Izumi: PhysX may be able to take advantage of cuda [11:13] Nebadon Izumi: but its not cuda per say [11:14] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: your sure thats just not slow lsl and a busy simulator ? [11:14] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: it would be nice if bullets worked, i have a mantis open for it and i think there is another [11:14] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: http://physxinfo.com/ [11:14] Marcus Llewellyn: Their statement that information would be shared at meetings on the MOSES grid is also kinda meh. If they seriously want core devs included in things, they won't make the mountain come to Muhammad. [11:14] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: ++ [11:14] Nebadon Izumi: ya the problem with moses grid [11:14] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: well I meant the GPU acceleration in Physx is implemented in Cuda [11:14] Nebadon Izumi: is its closed [11:14] Nebadon Izumi: its not open to anyone [11:15] Nebadon Izumi: which is kind of a big brick wall [11:15] Justin Clark-Casey: they produce a 'moses in a box' which I believe is the system running in a vm [11:15]  Nebadon Izumi: im sure most core devs could get in [11:15]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: the SL viewer is already a brick thats big enough [11:15] Nebadon Izumi: but they arent going to open it to everyone [11:15] OtakuMegane Desu: Stack of bricks lol [11:15] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: lol [11:15] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I used to have an account but they changed some policy and deleted it [11:16]  Nebadon Izumi: yea it sounds like they want people to test it using MIAB and that if it ever gets into core [11:16] Nebadon Izumi: it will be totally on us to make their code work [11:16] OtakuMegane Desu: -_- [11:16] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: It would be cool if they focused on making general improvements to core OpenSim [11:16] Nebadon Izumi: so I am not saying its not going to happen [11:16] Nebadon Izumi: but its not sounding ideal [11:16] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: MeH, dves have enough todo already [11:16] AlexRime SiLiSiLi is Offline [11:16] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Else, they are just diverging to a point where it doesn't resemble core anymore. [11:16] Nebadon Izumi: I think what happened to get this whole ball rolling [11:16] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: well getting into core usually implies some form of support [11:16] OtakuMegane Desu: Yeah. BulletSim is doing fine for the physics side. Good point of focus is the rest of core. [11:16] Marcus Llewellyn: ++ BlueWal [11:17] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: and meeting user expectations [11:17] Nebadon Izumi: was at FCVW InWorldz did a presentation that talked about their physics engine [11:17] Nebadon Izumi: and what i saw didnt seem much better than what ODE or Bulletsim offer [11:17] Nebadon Izumi: but i guess Doug got excited about it [11:17]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: hha [11:17] Justin Clark-Casey: I thoguht that was havok though [11:17] OtakuMegane Desu: Functionally I dunno how much difference there really is among the major engines these days. [11:17] Nebadon Izumi: no [11:17]  Marcus Llewellyn: That's what I wonder. Why not just improve Bullet? It has many of the same features. It's multi-threaded. It can do utilize a GPU. [11:17] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: if people don't understand something - they jump into the most obscure corners to fix it. [11:17] Nebadon Izumi: InWorldz uses Nvidia PhysX [11:18] Nebadon Izumi: SL uses Havok [11:18] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Ive used Physx with OpenSim content before, I wasn't all that impressed. It was also pretty easy to get it to crash [11:18] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Hi Robert Adams [11:18] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: but that was a few years ago [11:18] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: hi robert [11:18] Shez Oyen: Hey Robert :) [11:18]  Marcus Llewellyn: Hi Robert :) [11:18] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: hi Robert [11:18] OtakuMegane Desu: Perfect timing :) [11:18]  Nebadon Izumi: yea I unforutnately think its kind of a waste to start yet another physics engine [11:18]  Robert Adams: hello all. [11:18]  Justin Clark-Casey: hi robert [11:18]  Nebadon Izumi: but I cant say with an certainty bullet is actually better than PhysX or Vice versa [11:18]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Nebadon, its more something to think about after opensim 1.0 [11:18]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I dont necessarily think it's a waste [11:18]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Taxpayers foot the bill, so they have dep pockets :) [11:19] Nebadon Izumi: but what I have seen from InWorldz, and Havok in SL [11:19]  Nebadon Izumi: its not a great deal better than what we can do with ODE and Bullet [11:19] Nebadon Izumi: sure its better [11:19] Nebadon Izumi: but it nots jaw droppingly better [11:19] Robert Adams: I haven't looked into phyx and such. I kept finding that the library binding were changing too quickly [11:19] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: better how? [11:19] AlexRime SiLiSiLi is Online [11:19] Nebadon Izumi: well I think SL is just maybe a bit more stable [11:19] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Translated, its as good as the (script) programmer can use it [11:19]  Nebadon Izumi: more complete [11:19] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I see things we can do that fail in SL [11:19]  Nebadon Izumi: there is some stuff in BulletSim that isnt complete [11:19] Robert Adams: But another physics engine is always a nice addition [11:19] Nebadon Izumi: same with ODE [11:19] OtakuMegane Desu: Opensim isn't going to use all the potential function any physics engine has. [11:20] Nebadon Izumi: ya that is also true however I think in SL case [11:20] Nebadon Izumi: they limit it greatly [11:20] Nebadon Izumi: for non technical reasons [11:20] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: FWIW, I think Bulletsim is looking really good and that is where the effort should go for improving performance. [11:20] Marcus Llewellyn: ++ [11:20] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: try making a physical torus chain in SL, it fails miserably [11:20] Nebadon Izumi: yea [11:20] OtakuMegane Desu: SL physics are eithe ra mess or a joke. Sometimes both depending how they "fix" it. [11:20] Nebadon Izumi: i would rather see MOSES grid push on Bulletsim [11:20] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: thanks Robert Adams fro bring that to core :) [11:20]  Nebadon Izumi: I don't know why they insist on going a different route always [11:20]  Marcus Llewellyn: (borken record) They should just help improve Bullet. [11:20]  Billy.Bradshaw @hg.viewtwo.net:8600: ++ [11:21]  Nebadon Izumi: they have very different goals than core opensim [11:21]  Justin Clark-Casey: moses will do what they want to do, there's no changing anybody;'s minds [11:21]  Nebadon Izumi: not much we can do about that though [11:21]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: (broken record) what are the chances of the infinite inventory fetch bug getting tackled in 0.8.2? [11:21]  Nebadon Izumi: indeed Justin [11:21]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Bluewall, agree bullet is good. offcorse people still seems to have troubles with verhicles. [11:21]  Nebadon Izumi: I think alot of the problems we see with BulletSim are not because Bullet isnt capable [11:21] Nebadon Izumi: its just because our implementation is not complete [11:21] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I would say if they want to push us a new physics engine w/o putting any effort into maintaining it or helping integrate it, then we should probably just pass it on. [11:21] Nebadon Izumi: and fully optimized [11:22] Robert Patric: hello everyone [11:22] Nebadon Izumi: has nothing to do with Bullet as an engine [11:22] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Bluewall +1 [11:22] Marcus Llewellyn: I suspect a main concern of theirs is performance with a large number of agents in a simulator. They've been chasing that for a very long timw now. [11:22] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: if they publish patches, gthen users can do their own integration if they want. [11:22] OtakuMegane Desu: Definitely. BulletSim is still fairly young, really. Lots of potential and tweaking to be done I'm sure. [11:22] Justin Clark-Casey: hello robert [11:22] Nebadon Izumi: yea I think Moses may be interested in actually using GPu to accelerate physics [11:22] Robert Patric: any osgrid owner here? I need help [11:22] Justin Clark-Casey: performance is a tough issue and physics is not usually the bottleneck [11:22] Nebadon Izumi: but I think that while yes that might be possible [11:22] Robert Adams: And there's bullets 3 coming along that will have OpenCL acceleration [11:22] Nebadon Izumi: the C# simulator can only handle so much data [11:23] Jak Daniels: Justin, you fixed http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6835 in git 30b786351ea46cf6640dc45fa84bb4a4da1ab6d8, but I think it broke the ability to fly up and down in third person mode :( [11:23]  OtakuMegane Desu: Yeah. BUllet will support GPU anyway. And OpenCL, so no being locked to one brand hardware or something [11:23]  Nebadon Izumi: your never going to be able to push a GPu to its full potential [11:23]  Nebadon Izumi: and expect the simulator to stay alive [11:23]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I am a bit nervous tha they will donate something that only implements what they want and then mantis fills up with a lot of bug reports for missing features [11:23]  Nebadon Izumi: I dont think they intend on donating anything [11:23]  Justin Clark-Casey: if spomething isn't supported by any core dev then it shouldn't beaccepted [11:23]  Nebadon Izumi: it seems like the code will be available [11:23] Robert Adams: They can always use one of divas loadable modules to add the physics engine [11:23] Nebadon Izumi: and if we want it we can grab it [11:23]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Dahlia, that is why we should think carefully about whether we pull it in. [11:23] Marcus Llewellyn: ++jcc [11:24] Nebadon Izumi: i dont think they intend on providing patches to opensim directly [11:24] Nebadon Izumi: atleast that kind of what it sounds like [11:24] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Bluewall, of course [11:24] Robert Adams: We can cross that bridge when we get to it [11:24]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: yeah, they said it might take some smoothing to get it in. [11:24] Nebadon Izumi: yea [11:24] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: we have a lot to smooth already, lol [11:25] Nebadon Izumi: unless what they do is phenominal id rather see us focus on improving bulletsim [11:25] Justin Clark-Casey: jak: ok, I reopened 6835, pls could yopui putthe details on there [11:25] Nebadon Izumi: from what i saw at InWorldz it doesnt seem a whole lot better [11:25] Jak Daniels: thanks jcc that what I was going to ask someone to do for me :) [11:25]  Nebadon Izumi: I think the biggest advantage InWorldz has over us [11:25]  Justin Clark-Casey: aine: I expect it will be fixed for 0.8.2 [11:25]  Nebadon Izumi: is the ability to drive a car over a border [11:25]  Nebadon Izumi: other than that, it seems about the same [11:26]  Nebadon Izumi: and technically that has nothing to do with physics [11:26]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: @JCC do you need more data or are the dumps you already have enough for now? [11:26]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i think scripting speed is a bigger problem then physics. [11:26]  Justin Clark-Casey: aine: honestly, I had to stop reading the mantis - there was far too much going on and I had to concentrate on manyh other things. I will need to catch up [11:26]  Marcus Llewellyn: I"ve sort of had the impression for a long time that the main problem with our physics isn't the engine, per se, but manpower. When you have, maybe two devs who understand that part of the code well, you can't expect them to implement everything, or certainly not quickly. [11:26] Neovo Geesink: Does Mono not keep up with faster scripting? [11:27] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: okies...well if you need more let me know...I can reporoduce it at well [11:27] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I was surprised that my test follow gizmo for llLookAt could follow me across borders, even if the sims ran different physics engines [11:27] OtakuMegane Desu: Physics is not an easy thing to work with. :) [11:27] Nebadon Izumi: yea, I think moses will run into similar problems [11:27]  Kayaker Magic: Yeah, I wish I could script faster! :) [11:27] Nebadon Izumi: I think they only have 1 or 2 people working on it [11:27]  Nebadon Izumi: and a lot less testers than opensim does [11:27] Justin Clark-Casey: marcus; integrating a physics engine is a very complex task [11:27] Marcus Llewellyn nods. [11:28] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: no, lol [11:28] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Noo. dahlia. then opensim get less time [11:28] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: then they would screw us [11:28]  Nebadon Izumi: hehe [11:28] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: lol [11:29] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: they hired someone to fit their requisition, I doubt OpenSim experience had vey much to do with it. [11:29] Kayaker Magic: Justin, you were looking at co-routines for the llSleep problem. Any progress on that? [11:30] Nebadon Izumi: it will be interesting to see what happens, I think we are going to have to sit back and wait a while before we can see anything [11:30] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: <3 coroutines [11:30] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: ++ [11:30] Justin Clark-Casey: kayaker: I have not had an opportunity, though I think it's possible to use them to capture script state and wtich between sleeping scipts [11:30] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: would we need to bump the tools version to 4.5 to do that? [11:30] Nebadon Izumi: I am not interested in setting up Moses in a box to test it though [11:30] Justin Clark-Casey: not trivial though [11:30] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: also on my wish list: when declining a friend offer in a doreign grid is there some way it could pretty please stop spamming with a freind request for every single visit I ever make again to that grid [11:31] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I thought the MRM stuff had some coroutine stuff in it? or did at one time [11:31] OtakuMegane Desu: But...friendship! D: [11:31] Marcus Llewellyn: ++Aine. That's kinda annoying. Heh [11:31] Justin Clark-Casey: co-routines only because possible in c# 4 I think [11:31] Justin Clark-Casey: and that's using a hack of sorts [11:31] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: it also happens if you crash before having time to accept it [11:31]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: no there is a trick to do coroutines in earlier c# with iterators [11:32] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: (or the region you're in crashes) [11:32] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: 4.5 has the async functions [11:32] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: and can we pretty please join more than 5 groups [11:32] Justin Clark-Casey: jak: so this is changing fly look in third-person? I tested mouselook at that appeared to ascend and descned [11:32] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: but, the old mono keeps us off that. [11:32] Justin Clark-Casey: async is just syntatic sugar [11:32] Robert Adams: If one was going to add a new scripting language to open simulator, what would be the right language that would sand box nicely [11:32] Marcus Llewellyn: I don't think our group implementation limits the number of groups you can join? [11:33] Justin Clark-Casey: robert: perhaps lua? [11:33] Jak Daniels: yes my height remains constant now for fly look [11:33] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: unity has had coroutines for a long time, even when it used mono 2 [11:33] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: it does when you're HGed and using core groups [11:33] Justin Clark-Casey: jak: in first person? [11:33] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: except I think the group gets added but you get a message saying you can't [11:33]  Marcus Llewellyn: How odd. I didn't know that. I seem to remeber diva's distro has or had that sort of limit, but not the core implementation. [11:33] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: it's there....try joining 6+ groups in grids other than your own [11:34] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: that limit is probably pretty easy to up - but may be in there for a purpose [11:34] Marcus Llewellyn: Good to know, Aine. [11:34] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: I reported it a year or so ago [11:34] Jak Daniels: sorry not sure if first person or third person lol. When you grab your av using left mouse button and mouse pointer [11:34] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: things might get hairy with more that that. [11:34] Justin Clark-Casey: jak: so not in mouselook? [11:34] Jak Daniels: no [11:35]  Justin Clark-Casey: ok, mouselook wiould be 1st person but av grab 3 rd person [11:35] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I noticed that too Jak [11:35] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I bet you could kill a sim pretty fast with too many HG friends and groups, what wil how HTTP request seem to shut everything else down [11:35] Justin Clark-Casey: I love that all these regression surface immediately after a release [11:35] Jak Daniels: ok 3rd person is broken in fly mode [11:35] Nebadon Izumi: heh [11:35] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: flying with the mouse and using the was, etc. keys [11:35] Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: hunh? [11:36] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: uhh ? [11:36] Nebadon Izumi: well testing will always increase immediately after a release [11:36] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: that would be bad. [11:36] Justin Clark-Casey: then people will starting waiting for the next point release, etc. [11:36]  Aine.Caoimhe @refugegrid.com:8002: well, how often would you like me to bump old reports? [11:36] Jak Daniels: i only updated to git master recently so only noticed it the other day [11:36] Marcus Llewellyn: Erk. I hadn't noticed that. But yeah... when flying and steering with the held mouse pointer, I can't go up or down. [11:36] Jak Daniels: yes [11:37] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: that is the way SL behaves [11:37] Jak Daniels: really? [11:37] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: yes [11:37] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i always use page up/down thats still working ? [11:37] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: but I like ours better [11:37] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: mouselook steer while flying? [11:37] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: yes Dahlia [11:37] Jak Daniels: hmmm, well i'd kinda got used to being able to steer around in fly mode [11:37] Jak Daniels: :) [11:37]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: control altitude with the mouse [11:37]  Marcus Llewellyn: I seem to remember it working. But I haven't been to SL in ages. [11:37]  Jak Daniels: not mouselook [11:38]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: hmm, steering with the mouse in SL in 3rd person ? [11:38]  Shez Oyen: I thought SL fixed that [11:38]  OtakuMegane Desu: Page up/down seems fine. Never gotten switched away from that. [11:38]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: oh I only thought it worked in mouselook [11:38]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Shez, maybe so - I only get there about twice a year. [11:38]  Jak Daniels: grab your av with the mouse pointer (left button hold) [11:38]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: need toi test the mouse fly/steering in sl [11:38]  Jak Daniels: then fly.... [11:38]  Jak Daniels: left right works with mouse [11:38] Jak Daniels: up down used to but now doesn't [11:38]  Justin Clark-Casey: it may be that it'simpossible to fix both [11:39] OtakuMegane Desu: Hmm [11:39] Marcus Llewellyn: If SL doesn't let you go up or down steering with the mouse, I kinda prefer the way we've always had it. :) [11:39] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: sprry but i cannot steer in SL at all with the mouse in 3rd person [11:39]  Justin Clark-Casey: both correcting av walk and fly due to the fact that the viewer gives no indication of av steering with lmb held down [11:39]  Jak Daniels: it used to be possible to dive into the sea :) [11:39] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: you use always up/down [11:39] Justin Clark-Casey: which is why it might work that was on ll grid if it does [11:39] Shez Oyen: yoes you can fly guided by mouse (up and down) on SL [11:39]  Justin Clark-Casey: was/say [11:40] Justin Clark-Casey: way even [11:40] Shez Oyen: Just checked it [11:40]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: seems to work in mouselook [11:40] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i use much mouselook that works fine [11:40] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: But its normal that it dont work in 3rd person [11:40] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: yeah, this is 3rd person view. [11:40] Jak Daniels: yes mouselook works, 3rd person used to too [11:40] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: No Jak. its not working in SL, just tried it [11:40] Jak Daniels: but I can see how that is related to the walk look up/down bug [11:42] Jak Daniels: ok, well, would be nice if it was still possible to do that, we've had that ability for such a long time. But no worries if it's incompatible with the other walking bug [11:42] Marcus Llewellyn: It wouldn't suprise me if SL used to let you, and they broke it. They've broken mouse steering with help LMB before. [11:42] Marcus Llewellyn: held* [11:43] Justin Clark-Casey: it might be quite a simply change, I would have to try [11:43] Justin Clark-Casey: looking at 30b786 I could preserve the X and Y paramters if the av is flying, not just if it's in flying and in mouselook [11:43] Jak Daniels: ++ [11:44] Jak Daniels: yes it was only walking that was the problem [11:46] Justin Clark-Casey: I didn't pickupon this in the release, but I find the [Const] parameters at the top of OpenSim.ini.example to be confusing [11:46] Justin Clark-Casey: particularyl if you're running a standalone where they dont' apply expect in unusual cases [11:46] Justin Clark-Casey: except [11:46] Nebadon Izumi: yea that was the only time i got confused [11:47] Nebadon Izumi: was setting up a standalone [11:47] Marcus Llewellyn: I choose not to use it myself. Environment variable support I loooove. But the Const option isn't as useful to me. [11:47] Nebadon Izumi: so basically i just set both variables the same [11:47] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Is there a way to keep the running scripts outside of the bin folder ? [11:47] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I will try to get some time to go thorugh those and see if I can simplify them [11:47] Nebadon Izumi: yes Richardus [11:47] Nebadon Izumi: you mean for Scriptengine? [11:47] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: RiRa, you can keep everything outside [11:47] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: script states if am right [11:47] Nebadon Izumi: its at the very bottom of the [Xengine] section [11:48] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: That is one thing I tought about adding to the [Const] section is a BasePath [11:48] Simulator Version v0.5 shouts: OpenSim 0.8.2.0 Dev        5b31bb9: 2015-03-16 23:48:16 +0000 (Unix/Mono) [11:48] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: set it to "." as the default. [11:48] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: Ok. ill check that when i need to configure it. i copied my rc2 configs in for now [11:48] Nebadon Izumi: ScriptEnginesPath = "ScriptEngines" [11:48] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: cool. [11:48] Justin Clark-Casey: putting everything in bin is insane [11:48] Marcus Llewellyn: YEah. Thats in the [XEngine] section. [11:49] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I wish we had our libraries outside [11:49] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: just create the bin when we build. [11:49] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: You mean config outside of the bin bluweewall ? [11:49] Justin Clark-Casey: yeah, libraries and caches, other data, etc. [11:49]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: cache you can set outside the bin [11:50] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: it bites us if we don't clear it manyally at times. [11:50] Marcus Llewellyn: I think pretty much all the subdirectory paths can be changed. [11:50] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: they can [11:50] Nebadon Izumi: yea that is one reason I wrote the update script for osgrid to pull fresh everytime [11:50] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: even the inventory and assets [11:50] Marcus Llewellyn: log file too, although that's trickier. [11:50] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: hmm, you can "archive" it [11:50]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: not sure if j2kdecodecache can move [11:51] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: thirst thing on my list is own grid with FAssets [11:51] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: it can Dahlia [11:51] Marcus Llewellyn: There' an option for j2kdecodecache somethwre in config-include, I think [11:51] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: have you tested it? [11:51] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: you can run 100% in R/O directory [11:51] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: yesmam [11:51] Jak Daniels: any news on when FSassets might come into core? [11:52] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: sofar i know it is in core jak [11:52] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I thinkI added options for most of those. [11:52] Jak Daniels: Mel's new asset service? [11:52] Marcus Llewellyn: I haven't bothered trying to move it myself, Dahlia. [11:52] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: nope, that is XAssets [11:52] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: FAssets is not there yet [11:52] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: oh.. now im lost.. :O [11:52] Nebadon Izumi: ya I need to follow up with Melanie about fsassets [11:52] Nebadon Izumi: she was still cleaning it up [11:52]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: aww. [11:52] Nebadon Izumi: and we have been tweaking things as they came up on osgrid [11:52] Marcus Llewellyn: Hehe [11:52] Nebadon Izumi: its been a while since we had an issue [11:53] Nebadon Izumi: so that is good [11:53] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: so back to mysql then ? [11:53] Jak Daniels: how has it been holding up? [11:53] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: it's good to let it cook a while. [11:53] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: j2kdecodecache is specified in several places in the code and it may just fail to find anything cached rather than show some feedback on the log [11:53] Nebadon Izumi: the last week has been pretty good [11:53] Marcus Llewellyn: OSgrid's asset dump is prolly one heck of a test of that code. lol [11:53] Nebadon Izumi: hehe ya [11:54]  Nebadon Izumi: i'll follow up with her soon and try to urge her to get it into core asap [11:54] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Dahlia, I should search for it and make sure it uses the assigned path? [11:54] Jak Daniels: cool, thanks neb [11:54] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Bluewall, perhaps [11:54] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: What would happen if it cannot wright to it's cache? [11:54] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: not sure [11:54] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: because I run as user opensim in a dire owned by root:root [11:55] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: have not seen issues with it. [11:55] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: look and see if it contains anything [11:55] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: all my run-time data lives in the /var [11:55] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: it woldn't have perms [11:55] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I just have a separate bin for each instance :) [11:55]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: opensim couldn't not write to it [11:55]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: and I like it that way [11:56]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: that works too. [11:56]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: its so flexible that way [11:56]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: but, it is possible to control all the things associated withit to make it in a R/O place. [11:56]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: then all the associated data can live across upgrades. [11:56]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I dont need it to be RO [11:57]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: ++ [11:57]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I have seen issues with artifacts in the directory when you run multiple instances out of it thoug. [11:57] Justin Clark-Casey: jak: ok, I just pushed 310e44f. That restores ascend/descend with lmb held on avatar for me [11:57] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: thanks jcc [11:57] Marcus Llewellyn: My sim's OpenSim.ini, Regions.ini, and log files are all outside bin. Makes for smoother upgrades. [11:58] Jak Daniels: thanks Justin. ++ I'll try it after the meeting [11:58] Justin Clark-Casey: any sane sceheme would have all that stuff outside bin [11:58] Justin Clark-Casey: but unfortunately it didn't start out that way [11:58] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: maybe I'll try to do that one day. [11:58] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: opensim.ini seems the most hard one. unless you passed parameter with starting opensim.ini ? [11:58] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: (I won't push it though :) [11:59] Marcus Llewellyn: Sharing the asset cache among instances makes sense in my case. And ScriptEngines segregates by region UUID anyway. [11:59] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I dont have a problem with it all in bin. It's not something that is traditional but I dont see any benefit to tradition in that matter [11:59] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Im not a firm believer of tradition for tradition's sake [11:59] Justin Clark-Casey: sharing the asset cache is problematic when two processes try to manipulate it at once [11:59] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I think the biggest advantage would be that every build would be a clean directory. [11:59] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: on windows, yes [11:59] Justin Clark-Casey: then they suffer sharing violations, though I believe even current code suffers this [12:00] Marcus Llewellyn: Yeah, I worried about that at first, Justin. But so far, I've gotten away with it without a hiccup. :) [12:00] Nebadon Izumi: those sharing violations happen on linux too [12:00]  Nebadon Izumi: a lot infact [12:00]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I keep all of them separate [12:00]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Ive never seen it on linux and I have many instances sharing a single cache [12:00]  Justin Clark-Casey: it may be safe to supprress all such problems, but then you may end up hiding a genuine issue [12:00]  Nebadon Izumi: at OSCC i had all the Keynotes share same cache [12:00]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Justin - a while back we were talking about the HG avatar stuff going to the asset server ... [12:01]  Marcus Llewellyn: I wouldn't want them supressed. All I can really say is that OpenSim has never once thrown an exception over it. [12:01]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Do you remember that? [12:01]  Justin Clark-Casey: bluewall: I don't [12:01]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Well, you know what I'm talking about? [12:01] Marcus Llewellyn: The only time I can remember seeing exceptions related to the asset cache cam from people running into an issue with their antivirus on Windows. [12:01] Justin Clark-Casey: bluewall: not exactly [12:02] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Ive seen a single instance complain about sharing violations on windows [12:02] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I think we were discussing HG avatar issues and we said that the assets end up on the asset server - for the HG avatar/ [12:02] Justin Clark-Casey: bluewall: ah right, yes [12:02] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: perhaps flotsam could be modified to not attempt exclusive access [12:02] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: in cases like that, would it make sense to mark the assets as temporary? [12:03] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: That sounds a good idea bluewall. so it get deleted when avatar leaves grid ? [12:03] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: after a sset time, yes. [12:03] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: If it makes sense. [12:03] Justin Clark-Casey: bluewall: I don't think you can [12:03] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i would say it make sense. it not b loat the grid assets [12:04] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: ok [12:04]  Justin Clark-Casey: bluewall: well, I guess if someone copied an attachment you could then mark tmpeorary as permanent instead [12:04] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: if im wronmg, you can now yell [12:04] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: would be great to be able to mark anything that could be removed later. [12:05] Justin Clark-Casey: bluewall: it might be possible but you would have to deal with al the cases where a temporary asset would become permanent [12:05] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I see. [12:05] Marcus Llewellyn: The idea of ancient unused notecards in assets gives me the willies sometimes. [12:05] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: lol [12:05] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: me too, and scripts saved for ever change [12:05] Justin Clark-Casey: such as if something that was an attachment is rezzed in a region, etc. [12:06]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: old love leters? ;) [12:06] vegaslon plutonian: little libraries of congress [12:06]  Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: scripts is something that bugs me. save, urrgh another assets . correct, save. yuck [12:06]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: If the user adjusts the parts by rewearing, it updates them, I guess? [12:06]  Marcus Llewellyn: I know they're nothing individually, but in aggregate... I can easily create a lot of assets that never see the light of day when scripting something. [12:06]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: maybe for scripts it could be leveraged into some kind of version control [12:07]  Justin Clark-Casey: marcus; it is aproblem. But unfortunately the whole system is designed for immutable assets [12:07]  Justin Clark-Casey: it's hard to change that [12:07]  Marcus Llewellyn nods. [12:07]  Marcus Llewellyn: I understand. If wishes were fishes. ;) [12:07] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: As it stands now, do we have a real issue with the 64 byte -vs- 128 byte assets? [12:07] Justin Clark-Casey: and it was done that way for good reasons - immutable stuff can easily be cached, etc. [12:07]  Justin Clark-Casey: uni [12:07] Justin Clark-Casey: imo [12:07] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: SL has (had?) an asset GC system [12:08] Marcus Llewellyn: They have a cold storage system, I think, at least. [12:08] Justin Clark-Casey: sl can in theory work out if an asset is referecned at all [12:08] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Mic Bowman said he has one too [12:08] Nebadon Izumi: yea it sort of requires a grid where the grid operators run all the regions to do that [12:08] Nebadon Izumi: its still pretty intensive [12:08] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: ya they do a deep search for anything that resembles a UUID [12:08] Justin Clark-Casey: if you ignore the fact that someone could one day reference a long dead asset uuid in a new script, which I should think probably never happens [12:09] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: texture uuid? [12:09] Justin Clark-Casey: for instance [12:09] Justin Clark-Casey: in a new script - you could always read through every old script checking for uuids [12:09] Justin Clark-Casey: which is what the uuid gatherer does [12:09] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: ya but theirs is grid wide [12:10] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: anyway anything that deletes assets makes me nervous [12:10] Justin Clark-Casey: the worst issue isprobably serialized objects [12:10] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: So, devs make you nervous dahlia :)) [12:10] Jim Jackson: Hi Posh [12:10] Justin Clark-Casey: scripts and notecards are tiny in comparison to an object with many prims [12:10] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: instead of delete, it could be moved to another table, then cleaned out after a period of time [12:10] posh prim: hello [12:11] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: Some do, Richardus :P [12:11] Marcus Llewellyn: It would be nice if there was some sort of separate class of mutable asset, I guess. [12:11] Nebadon Izumi: the biggest asset I ever saw was around 45mb [12:11] Justin Clark-Casey: there was a proposal to datestamp assets every n accesses, which is what xassets does [12:11] posh prim: can you see me jim [12:11] Jim Jackson: no, you are a cloud [12:11] posh prim: ok [12:11]  Justin Clark-Casey: then an asset that hasn't been accessed for, say 3 years youmight be able to safely delete [12:11] posh prim: thyy [12:11] Justin Clark-Casey: but even that seems risky [12:12] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: whats different on xassets compared to mysql database ? [12:12] Justin Clark-Casey: xassets uses mysql but performance deduplication [12:12] Justin Clark-Casey: so identical assets are only stored once [12:12] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: in all the 64 byte -vs- 128 byte description discussing, the biggest thing was HG landmarks. [12:12] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: even after 3 years it could be in some inventory thats not been used, a periodic uuid gather would be better i think [12:12] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: every n accesses? where is it counted? [12:12] Justin Clark-Casey: performs [12:12] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: justin, but only assets that are not stored in uer inventory's [12:13]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: and if it's counted, why not just stamp every access instead? [12:13] Justin Clark-Casey: dahlia: ah good point, it's it the asset is accessed after n days [12:13] Justin Clark-Casey: dahlia: my mistake [12:13] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: I think 128 bytes is a small space for that application. [12:13] Marcus Llewellyn: A last access timestamp makes sense for cold storage, but not for removal. [12:13] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: But, I guess anything larger would require viewer mods. [12:13] Justin Clark-Casey: alica: right, you can gather if tyou control all simulators [12:13] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: some assets are quite tiny, like very small sculpt maps or some materials [12:14] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: ++ [12:14] Justin Clark-Casey: marcus: if you timestamp if an asset has been accessed but last access time was > 90 days [12:14] Justin Clark-Casey: then you know an asset with a last access time of 3 years hasn't been accessed for 3 years [12:14] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: if you coimpile opensim 0.8.1 the search module etc. are corretc too right ? [12:14] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: yes, i think most people do control all sims, open grids are the exception and there are less of them [12:14] Justin Clark-Casey: but it's still possible it's in some long=lived cache on the only simulator where it is used [12:15] Marcus Llewellyn: That's sort of what I meant by my probably imprecise use of the term cold storage. [12:15] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: I have persistent shared cache so it's quite unlikely my asset server gets multiple accesses for any asset [12:15] Jak Daniels: rira you need the modded ossearch/profile for osgrid with 0.8.1 and above [12:15] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: bluewall, the truncation warning is only for an asset description for landmarks, that data isnt even used so the warning doesnt matter, just makes people worry they lost information [12:15] BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: yes [12:15] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: i dont use it on osgrid. it would be for own grid. i just saw message on mailing list that makes the question. uhmm but is there not a V2 search buildin ? [12:16] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: in fact I doubt my asset server gets *any* read accesses [12:16] Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: its more just a backup [12:16] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: anyway, i doint think i need search :O\ [12:17] Justin Clark-Casey: ok, I need to get going. Goodbye folks [12:17] Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: does the asset service even need to warn about a truncation? i understand big grids dont want to alter the assets table to remove that dead data because of downtime, why not just stop printing the warning as the fields arnt used? [12:17] Marcus Llewellyn: B'bye, Justin. :) [12:17] Richardus.Raymaker @hypergrid.org:8002: bye justin [12:17]  BlueWall.Slade @gateway.bluewallvirtual.net:8002: Well, good meeting today - thanks. I need to take off. Will see you all next week., [12:17]  Alicia.Raven @grid.spellscape.co.uk: bye justin [12:17]  Nebadon Izumi: see you Justin [12:17]  Jak Daniels: bye justin... Thanks [12:17]  Dahlia.Trimble @grid.wwweb3d.net:8002: cya jcc [12:17]  Marcus Llewellyn: Cya BlueWall.
