[Opensim-users] bent legs hate - suggestion

[Teravus Ovares]

Actually, this has entirely to do with the client.   My guess, is the
linden simulator, in this situation, raises the avatar above the
ground a bit more then usual to compensate for the bumpy ground.    If
you really want to do that, you can via opensim.ini in the ODEPhysics
settings.  You might increase the avatar capsule radius a tiny bit.
(we're talking about a very small amount here :))

Another issue in OpenSimulator currently is we don't send the foot
plane property of objects.   This causes the feet to be turned
sideways noticeably sometimes and would only have an effect if you
were standing on prim and sometimes falling from the air.    I think
mostly the reason this hasn't been done is the object updates are the
trickiest packets to compose.   There are several versions that the
simulator could send in different scenarios.   You might file 'sending
the foot plane vector' of object updates as a bug in mantis.   My
understanding of it is, it's a vector that defines the plane of the
surface where if an avatar stood on an object, it's feet would have to
be wholly on top of the plane.

Best Regards

Teravus
