[Opensim-dev] Fix for terrain editing spike problem

[Mike Pitman]

Ai,

That might be because the 'duration' value varies widely for different
environments, in your case larger than values around 0.03 which I found in
my env.  If so, then we don't want duration to be determining the stepsize
of a terrain edit, and we should opt for a fixed value of the stepsize. The
factor I determined worked best with my setup was 0.15 * 0.03 = 0.0045.

Before submitting another patch it would be nice to confirm this is the
case.

If you could modify the file:
OpenSim/Region/Environment/Modules/World/Terrain/PaintBrushes/RaiseSphere.cs

Plug in a value of 0.0045 for duration in the code around line 61:
                    if (z > 0.0)
                        map[x, y] += z * duration;

save, rebuild, and test in your environment. Play with different values to
get a feel for the response. I think we should find value that can be read
from the ini file for terrain edit step size which gives a reasonable
response across a variety of environments.

Mike. my "shot in the air 100m" problem was with "raise land" with
the area set "small" on just a single mouse click. Do you think that
will still be super sensitive after your fixes? Ai
