Avatars get stuck when trying to move beyond land boundary

Post by Ramesh Ramloll »

Hello there,
This seems to be a new behavior that some folks have recently experienced. If you try to move your avatar to the boundary of a region and try to continue forward into the water, the avatar gets stuck. You can unstuck yourself by teleporting elsewhere .... at a point, but new users get stuck and have to log out etc...
Let me know if this issue is recent and whether something is being done about it.
Thanks
Ramesh :?

Hi Ramesh,

We haven't changed any OpenSim code for quite a while now. When did you start encountering this behavior?

Is this with Advanced Megaregion mode enabled or disabled?

The first time we experienced it was two days ago. Then we started getting more reports from users. It is easy to reproduce as well. Happens all the time on the advanced mega region.

I was testing this with Ramesh, and as he says, it was easy to reproduce. Just walking into the southern boundary of the region caused the avatar to get stuck.

Today, however, I can't make it happen.

Maybe the sim was messed up somehow and required a restart. Is this a problem that repeats itself on different sim activations?

It happens to me on advanced Megaregion Mode at a 16 regions world eith updated Firestorm, everytime I collide with sim limit

I take it for granted as an Opensim glitch and use the teleport trick

It has been happening for quite a few weeks or more

Does this happen just at the world's borders or around the 256m intervals inside the world (where region borders would exist if this were not an Advanced Megaregion)?

At the world borders, not at the sim boundaries.

I've experienced this behaviour in Kitely and on other grids. However, when I tried to reproduce it earlier today (both in Kitely and on a private grid, on a single region, an Advanced Megaregion, and a 2x2 varregion), my avie was able to move away without difficulty.
