[BUG-7603] Issues with the first created materials profile not rendering after a region start for several minutes.

[sl-service-account]

Information

I've seen this dozens of times now and finally decided to file a bug report about it.

I created an interceptor type shield system which when operating in default mode rezzes mesh plates then on each plate, a specular texture and params are set on multiple faces.

I noticed in the Linden Weapons testing region after a restart when the plates rez for the first time they do not visually have any specularity. Other people have verified this and posted pics that show they do not either.

Dropping a test script inside the plate to extract the specular parameters shows that the server had set the specular parameters.

Changing to different specular params causes those changes to correctly render.

Changing back to the previous specular parameters again shows a failure in rendering as if the profile was corrupt.

After about 6 minutes from the first specular profile creation, the parameters will begin rendering correctly.

I think I may have seen this but not 100% sure its the same problem but Ive seen it numerous times since materials were released. What I've observed is upon enetering a new region, sometimes materials do not render there and when I check my viewer log I see a failure to get the materials cap. Only the materials caps seems to fail, no other caps. Relogging will fix it. No idea if what I'm seeing is a viewer or a region issue but Ive seen the same on both official viewer builds and Firestorm on numerous regions. I'll grab logs the next time I see it.

Hi Lucia, Are you still able to reproduce this issue, anywhere? I visited your SLURL, and saw a general 'failure' for objects to rez, as some griefer objects were active in the region. After disabling scripts and restarting the region to get around the griefing issue, I was able to view new materials on multiple connected viewers.

If you see this again, could you give the time/place details and also note the capability URL you have for 'RenderMaterials'? You can find the URL via develop -> consoles -> capabilities info to debug console.

If you issue a GET request manually, you should see a block of LLSD with a blob of base64-encoded text, like this:

$ curl -k https://sim10519.agni.lindenlab.com:12043/cap/e595cf8c-135c-49f4-c081-4189fc5bf529
<llsd><map><key>Zipped</key><binary encoding="base64">eNqLZmB...A==</binary></map></llsd>

Do you see this sort of data when this bug occurs?

This occurred again in the same region after a restart from a crash. It started at 17:00:30 with the first rezzing of my plates. It ended at 17:06:59 when the materials on the plates began to show again.
