After a user spend three days trying to find out why certain
textures looked red (as if they had alpha and you pressed
control-alt-T, but not all of them were like that); and nothing
helped, not relogging, not clearing cache, not even reinstalling
the viewer... I decided to take this bug serious. Note that,
according to Shyotl, there have been more users every now and
then that reported this problem.
The problem (after doing a research for 1 hour) turned out
to be that she had beacons on, highlighting prims with scripts.
The immediate bug is, of course, that this was persistent over
a relog. Upon further investigation, this bug exists because
a Debug Setting had a double meaning: it meant both "beacon
floater is visible", which you want to be persistent, and it
was later renamed and given the meaning "Keep beacons when
closing the floater". Digging deeper it turned out that there
was a REAL mess with regard to the beacons: A non-finished
floater with immature comments (called "dingdong floater") was
half-created and replaced the original floater which, according
to the comment was "so fucked over and over" (== commented out
in several places), but then everything was commented out and
replaced with a menu (because they couldn't get it to work?).
The floater simply didn't exist anymore! That reduced the
meaning of the Debug Setting to "Show beacons", although you
now could only set it in the menu by clicking on "Beacons Always On"
where 'Always' refers to also on when the floater isn't there.
I nuked the immature dingdong code, brought back the original
floater as it was in snowglobe (and still is in Imprudence),
fixed it up a bit with a nicer layout (indentation and spacing)
and disabling (graying out) when needed, and added a new checkbox
that will allow people to still keep/see the beacons after closing
the floater.
In the end this requires THREE Debug Setting variables:
ShowBeaconsFloater : TRUE when the floater is visible, FALSE when not.
This is persistent, so the floater is still
there if you relog with the floater open.
BeaconsKeepVisible : TRUE when the new checkbox is checked.
Also persistent.
BeaconsVisible : TRUE when the beacons are rendered, FALSE otherwise.
This is NOT persistent: we don't want unsuspecting
users to try and get rid of the weird 'red prims'
by relogging and failing at that.
Added missing header to indra/newview/ascentkeyword.cpp now that
llviewerpluginmanager.h has a couple of header dependencies less.
Resolved Conflicts:
indra/llcommon/CMakeLists.txt
Proximity: addition of two independent things. Just included both.
Also removed some code from the Mac/windows code in
indra/plugins/filepicker/llfilepicker.cpp that shouldn't
be in there anymore (send_agent_pause/resume and updating
the LLFrameTimer stuff).
This commit contains all changes, except those in indra/media_plugins
(which was renamed to indra/plugins) and indra/llplugin.
However, it does contain the (new) file
indra/plugins/filepicker/basic_plugin_filepicker.cpp
This is the skeleton needed to implement classes that can be reused and
work together, which can perform asynchronous tasks (read: need to wait
for certain events before they can continue).
An example would be the task of waiting for a given inventory folder to
be read. This could then be used to improve the builtin AO
(automatically reading that folder when a notecard is dropped, and
continuing when the whole folder is read).
It's first use will be communication with a filepicker that runs
in a plugin.
This involves making libllcommon shared, a change
that was not finished for windows/Mac.
More changes are needed to indra/newview/viewer_manifest.py
for those two operating systems, as well as to
indra/copy_win_scripts.
I did not test this on linux 32bit, nor non-standalone
on that OS, either.
I did not check voice (which will very likely not work
anyway on 64bit). And currently the webkit plugin doesn't
work for me, but I'll fix that in a different commit.
Need to test:
localassetbrowser
preview related floaters
hgfloatertexteditor
maps
media textures! Currently very hacky
web browser
alpha masks on avatars
bumpmaps
Are all sky components appearing?
LLViewerDynamicTexture (texture baking, browser, animated textures, anim previews, etc)
Snapshot related features
Customize avatar
vfs floater
UI textures in general
Texture priority issues
