[Opensim-users] region problems on standalone

[Ethan Grammatikidis]

i've got region problems on a new standalone instalation with an old
database.  from some sims i can't see or cross to adjacent sims.
teleports to some sims fail and to some others they leave me stuck at
0,0.  when stuck at 0,0 i can usually fly up and down, but that's all.
only one sim works correctly.

i'm using diva distro; downloaded yesterday.  6 of the sims and all of
the accounts (avatars) were made long ago, in 0.70.2 / 0.7.  4 sims
are new, they were made as i brought up diva distro for the first
time, before i copied the region files across.  these sims are in 2
groups, the 6 old sims in a 2x3 block and the new ones 2x2.  the
database was imported from backup before i started diva distro the
first time.  (before i successfully started it, anyway; i didn't know
newer mysql versions don't serve on a tcp port by default so there
were several false starts.)

in the new group, i can teleport to each sim but get stuck at 0,0.  i
can also see each sim from each other.  if i get into a corner
adjacent to other sims and try to cross eastward into another sim, i
get a message: "Cannot region cross into banned parcel".  (this is
when i'm on the estate owner account.) if i try to cross westward I
get no error but i get violent flashing instead, the avatar presumably
oscilating between above and under water at over 5Hz.

sometimes instead of the banned message in the viewer i see this on
the console:

	21:22:34 - [SCENE PRESENCE]: MakeRootAgent() was given an illegal position of <-0.05, -0.05, 25.42529> for avatar eekee eebus, ffc98645-1c87-4f1d-927f-401e7cd08918. Clamping


on editing appearance while i was stuck at 0,0, i saw this on the
console:

	15:55:08 - ScenePresence for agent uuid ffc98645-1c87-4f1d-927f-401e7cd08918 unexpectedly not found in HandleLinkInventoryItem

attempting to add an attachment produced a similar message, but when i
reached the one sim where i have full functionality, the attachments
appeared despite 3 or 4 relogs in between.

this one sim is called elandia.  it's at location 1000,1000 on the
grid.  it's one of the old sims.  from it i can't see other sims, and
i can only sometimes teleport into it, but everything inside that sim
works.  moving around, building, changing clothing, removing (and
presumably adding) attachments all work.  hmm..  one other problem: if
i logged out in another sim and try to log in to elandia, there's only
a 20-30% chance of the login succeeding.

the one good thing about the sims in which i'm stuck at 0,0 is i can
see any adjacent sim.  i didn't try building in them.  i can't get
about land info in any sim but elandia.

when in elandia, on the console i see messages like this from the
surrounding sims:

	19:56:52 - [LLUDPSERVER]: No packets received from child agent of test kitten for 60000ms in Oceana.  Disconnecting.
	19:56:53 - [LLUDPSERVER]: No packets received from child agent of test kitten for 60000ms in Undernalis.  Disconnecting.
	19:56:55 - [LLUDPSERVER]: No packets received from child agent of test kitten for 60000ms in Fentara.  Disconnecting.

those sims are west, southwest, and south of elandia.  the sims to the
north and northwest are conspicuous by their absence, although i
recall seeing such a message from teh sim to the north yesterday.
hmm...  test kitten logged into undernalis which is too far south for
the northern sims to have her as a child agent.

sometimes after a teleport i get this: "Moving you to region at 1000,
1000".  (exact text may be different, it's a bit hard to trigger.) i'm
then teleported back to elandia, but with a position kilometers out of
the sim and the viewer display flashing until i open the map and
teleport into elandia manually.

one sim i have never managed to get into.  it is nactus, north of
elandia.  it is also the most built-up of all the sims with 5817
prims, but i don't know if this means much.  some of the problem sims
are empty, while elandia is perhaps the 2nd or 3rd most filled sim
with 1176 prims.

oh...  here's a weak sort of progress.  i teleported to solimos (nw, a
problem sim,) and back to elandia, and then i could get about land
from nachtus (n).  i can't get about land when i'm actually in any of
these sims.  ...  so i tried teleporting into nachtus, and i not only
got in but i can move around!  all the builds are phantom though, and
the menu bar says i'm still in elandia.  when i edit an object,
owner/creator info never appears, although it does for newly-created
objects.  hm...  i left and returned, and there wasn't the slightest
bump on sim crossing, as if i'm still in elandia.  it's like one of
aurora-sim's var regions, except the parcel name doesn't change when
it should.  checking the config, CombineContiguousRegions = false,
which is the same as it was in 0.7.2.  sim ports and positions do not
overlap.  i don't know what else to check.

after that semi-success with nachtus, i attempted to fly west into
oceana.  from the crossing point my avatar flew on regardless of me
taking my fingers off the keys, but curiously stopped at -256.  this
appeared on the console:

	22:07:17 - [ENTITY TRANSFER MODULE]: No ENTITY TRANSFER MODULE information for region handle 1098412116404224, exiting CrossToNewRegion.
	22:07:17 - [ENTITY TRANSFER STATE MACHINE]: Agent with ID ffc98645-1c87-4f1d-927f-401e7cd08918 should not exit directly from state Transferring, should go to CleaningUp state first in Elandia

what can i do?
