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 a new statemachine AIFetchInventoryFolder, which can be used
to fetch the contents of a folder by name or UUID.
Also added AIEvent (and one event,
AIEvent::LLInventoryModel_mIsAgentInvUsable_true, which is needed
for AIFetchInventoryFolder).
Fixed LLInventoryModel::sBackgroundFetchActive to correctly reflect
whether or not LLInventoryModel::backgroundFetch is added to
gIdleCallbacks.
Avoid duplicated entries in sFetchQueue.
Reset sFullFetchStarted in LLInventoryModel::stopBackgroundFetch to
allow for a renewed full fetch when some single-folder fetch stops it.
Added AIStateMachine::mQueued to make calling 'cont()' more robust:
calling cont() / idle() / cont() on a row would otherwise add a
statemachine twice to the active list, which would cause a crash
when it's killed.
Don't enable AA in deferred/ui/etc unless AA is actually enabled via setting
Standard c array instead of silly vector, since the size is knowable at compile.
Call AIFilePicker::create() instead of new AIFilePicker.
Renamed deleteMe() to kill() and bs_deleted to bs_killed.
Only default to auto destruct when created with create(true),
otherwise kill() has to be called explicitely.
