[Opensim-dev] Old ODE still to keep?

[Michel Beauregard]

Hi,
As presented in Lani Global opensim user page http://opensimulator.org/wiki/User:LaniGlobal   for much of 2014 and early 2015, either ODE or Bullet could be selected by simulator owners for their regions.  I could use my own ODE physic moving object  in gimisa5 simulator version 0901 successfully.  

Opensimulator has a very flexible design with its two parts , the grid services and the simulator server. An interesting solution  is possible if ODE physic is no more available. Using it in 091 grid would still be possible because of  compatibility between simulator version and grid service version. There is no documentation on that but I know from testing that I can connect and run 0901  simulator version with my updated 091 robust server . This allow me to run gimisa5  under simulator 0901 while connecting it to my grid robust services version 091 . 

I need to be corrected  and please do so if its the case. But I compared Robust.HG.ini.example configuration file between version of official release since 08. The result show rather little modification to robust server configuration from these different robust versions which support my own experience.


Hope it helps .
