VarRegions and 10x faster loading of object contents

Post by Ilan Tochner »

We updated our system today with several big changes, including upgrading to OpenSim 0.8.2 Release; converting all the big worlds to VarRegions; more fonts; and 10x faster loading of object contents.

The update seems to have caused a problem. I went to HG Safari about 40 minutes ago-- and found that my inventory did not show my suitcase. A poster tried to give me a notecard, but there was no suitcase for it to go to. I got several other things, but could not find them anywhere,

Hi Selby,

OpenSim 0.8.2 included a change to the My Suitcase folder type. This change may cause an incompatibility with your viewer's cached folder structure. Please clear your viewer cache and your viewer inventory cache and try again.

For details see: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/0.8.2.0_Release#Database

Interesting. Not seeing any issues yet with 64-bit FS on Win8.1.

Excellent experience so far. Assets popping up quite quickly and it seems to be running more smoothly while running or flying. One issue however with VARregion maps showing the non-SW quadrant of the area as OFFLINE.

Several good things since the upgrade:

llCastRay can "see" the terrain everywhere in a var! One of the bugs in Advanced Megaregions that bugged me was that llCastRay was unable to "see" the terrain when you pointed it outside the SW quadrant. You could fire one of my llCastRay based guns at a hill and hit something on the other side like the hill wasn't there. This is fixed by Vars! Hooray!

My CPU usage had dropped to half of what it was before! Without me having to mend my ways or change any of my scripts! Hooray!

I got hit by that suitcase problem also. Clearing cache did the trick and all is well again. Congrats on all the upgrades!

The suitcase problem reappeared. I cleared Inventory and viewer cache, but without effect
