Restrict sound to parcel not working?

[Iain McCracken]

I've just discovered that the "Restrict gesture and object sounds to this parcel" checkbox is not working as expected. It does the NOT of what I expect, turning off all sounds from this parcel in this parcel, while still transmitting sounds from this parcel into all other parcels.

This is a problem as I have a performance venue in a parcel next to one where there are some noisy exhibits. I wanted to restrict the noise to its own parcel, but I can't do that. The check box seems to disable all sound in this parcel, which is not what I want. I want the check box to do what it says, which is also what it does in SL.

Help!

Hi Iain,

Is this in a single region world, in a multi-region one or in a world set as an Advanced Megaregion?

[Iain McCracken]

Hi Ilan

It's a 512x512 advanced megaregion world.

Please try turning off Advanced Megaregion mode and see if the problem remains.

Hi Ilan

Turning off advanced megaregions changed the problem. Now, checking "restrict sound to this parcel" does nothing in the parcel the sound is coming from -- sound continues in that parcel, and in neighboring parcels.

Checking "restrict sound to this parcel" turns off sound from other parcels, but does not stop sound from leaving this parcel. Still not what I was expecting.

When I turned advanced megaregion back on, it broke the sim. Sim FPS went down to 12-25fps and many objects appear to have stopped working. I'm currently scrambling around trying to figure out why the physics engine is chewing CPU (turning physics off returned sim fps to 54, but you can't walk or fly).

I'm a little frazzled right now, not having realized that changing the advanced megaregions flag would have broken physics and scripts. Ada's spent a lot of time on this region.

To update those following this thread, the high CPU was caused by two hollow non-phantom prims and one Physical object.

Which physics engine?

Hi Graham,

That world is currently set to use BulletSim Physics.
