[Opensim-users] More 0.6.7 ... Re: Multiple regions using 0.6.7

Fri Oct 16 09:07:08 UTC 2009

Thanks Justin for the help, I succeeded in getting up all four regions 
now - but there are some more problems - and partial solutions - I want 
to share...

All issues are based on release 0.6.7. I know very well that it's not 
the latest rev and I will recheck all issues against an updated 
installation with the latest rev later.

I am running a 64 bit Linux (Gentoo) and I have serious problems with 
ODE.There still was a physical spiral object in one region making it 
impossible to bring this one online with ODE. After starting with 
basicphyisics and removing this object from the region, ODE did not 
crash any more.

So my avie was online with bent knees...  Old problem and when I was 
hopping through the hypergrid I learnt that my grid isnt the only one 
with this problem. Somewhere I found the idea to enlarge the force to 
use to keep the avatar standing up straight 
"av_capsule_standup_tensor_linux = 1700000" - but this did not help.
Browsing the mantis another idea was to set "av_capsule_tilted = false" 
which finally did the job - but leads to region crossing problems. 
Anyways the avie is standing as usual but about 10 cm above the 
ground...  I can live with it  ;-)   but region crossing still is an 
issue as it is sometimes crashing the session due to this problem and 
leaves the simulator in an unexeptable state. Relogging does not work - 
session is crashing over and over again - but relogging using "Login at 
home position" does the job.

I suspect the same error occured to the UCI 7000 gateway at 
ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007 as this region always crashed my session 
when trying to teleport to. Seems to be the same behaviour, at least 
from user view. In this context it makes it impossible to tp to the region.

Next issue is the download of textures to the client viewer. Several 
textures are only transferred in a lower resolution state meaning the 
transfer is not finished and very often never will be. Browsing Mantis I 
found some hints including a "maybe" broken jpeg module for 64 bit. The 
error message
2009-10-16 01:50:07,476 WARN  - OpenMetaverse Last packet end in 
JPEG2000 stream extends beyond the end of the file. filesize=70083 
layerend=2147450879
2009-10-16 01:50:07,477 WARN  -

7c1c3156-c8af-4400-8739-6cb68e12692e.   Is this a texture?  is it J2K?
is sometimes displayed - but there are far more textures left unfinished 
as there are error messages regarding jpeg2000 decode errors. So my 
guess is that this might be a different problem.

Anyways there seem to be more texture issues.

My region image is not loading and I get an error message:
2009-10-16 01:13:02,891 DEBUG - 
OpenSim.Region.CoreModules.World.WorldMap.WorldMapModule [WORLD MAP]:

The server itself is responding so at least it is listing to the correct 
port number and such. But it might be a typical 64 bit problem as well.
