[Opensim-users] Trouble saving scripts (Fred)

[Fred Beckhusen]

Trouble saving scripts: I have this, too.    Does anyone know of a 
Mantis for this type of issue?

I always have trouble saving scripts on the LAN and localhost, but not 
via the WAN.  I am pretty much forced by all the irritating timeouts to 
work on complex scripts in LSLEDitor first, then SL, and only then bring 
it in to Opensim when done.

Standalone Grid, no external robust, Git master, Windows 7, FIOS 50/50 
network and router.  CPU is at 2% load.  Firestorm or Singularity 64 
bit, on a Alienware/Nvidia GT970  or the server itself.

I have been blaming my own local grid problems on LAN vs WAN.   But that 
is too simple to be it, as it happens when I run the viewer on the 
server, too.     It takes 2 to 10 (or more times) before they save. Same 
thing for uploads such as mesh or images.   Sometimes it works, usually 
not.  I would guess I get an script or image loaded first time less than 
20% of the time.    It is as if the server never heard from the viewer 
to begin comm.   I wait a few seconds, hit a space, save, wait, type a 
space, save over and over until it finally does save.

But I can remote out to another computer at work or at a friends, log 
on, and it works much more reliably, almost every time.    Bulk uploads 
are useless to me locally, as it will fail on the 1st or 2nd item almost 
every time.  So I remote out to another machine and use the WAN to bulk 
upload from my dropbox when I have a lot of things to bring in.

I can save a script into inventory every time.  It will compile and 
save, then I drag and drop it into the prim and it will always work.    
Unless there is a syntax error, of course.   Inventory must save via a 
different comm pathway.

Possibly related: Opening a box that I have been working on will quit 
showing the inventory in the box periodically.  Usually good for a dozen 
or two dozen edits, sometimes more.   I have to keep the script open or 
I would never get anything to load.  But sometimes I have to close the 
edit window to edit something else, and  the box that has been working 
will no longer open and show me the insides. The only cure is to log out 
of the simulator  and relog to go back to editing.
