Hi all, I've posted this on the OSgrid technical forum and was redirected here.<br><br>I'm currently working on a project for an University on
exploring opensim as a possibility for a learning environment for
physics. I've encountered several problem on my local opensim region.
(NOTE: all problem below are encountered on the ODE physics engine)<br><br>1)
Sometimes when object are set physical, it'll treat other object as
"phantom". For example, I've set up a platform (8m x 6m x 0.1m) floating
in mid air, and a lot of the time when I try to place anything physical
on it, the physical object will ignore the platform and fall through
it. I can't seen to find out why as I have tried various shapes and
sizes and the problem isn't consistent, sometime it doesn't fall through
sometime it does.<br><br>2) When restarting my opensim server/region,
all the object's script disappears. This means I have to save everything
into my inventory before I close down the server and then rez them back
and relocate them EVERY TIME. Is this a known problem or is there a
step where I missed that will save the script before I quit the server?<br><br>3)
This one is probably unsolvable unless there's an update on physic
engine. My partner on the same project made a pendulum that pivot on a
triangular shape. When the pendulum reaches it's highest peak on it's
swing, it shakes vigorously. After a long time the pendulum will
eventually shift position. I'm guessing this is due to rounding
calculation on the contact point of the pivot point when it reaches it's
highest peak, causing the pendulum to "shift-slightly" causing it to
"shake".<br><br>Thanks
