Configuration of the
peekabot server is done using the file
~/.peekabot/config.xml (again, on Windows, the
.
peekabot directory is located in your Application Data directory).
The file is overwritten when the application is closed, after which it will contain all the configuration options in use - thus, you will not have add any content to the file, merely modify it. For that reason, this section will be a reference of the semantics of the options, rather than their markup.
The option's type is shown in parantheses after the option name.
- action_batch_size (int)
- Actions are processed in batches, this option defines the size of those batches. Large values will, in theory, give better throughput whilst small values will yield lower latency. In practice, you probably don't need to fiddle with this option.
- Default: 20
- default_scene (path)
- Specifies a scene file to be loaded at startup. By default, a scene containing naught but a grid is loaded. You can override this behaviour by changing this option or placing your own
default_scene.xml in ~/.peekabot/scenes.
- Default: default_scene.xml
- enable_debug_log (bool)
- If true, debug messages will be written to
~/.peekabot/debug.log.
- Default: false
- model_dirs (list of paths)
- The directories in which peekabot looks for models and textures, in priority order.
- Default:
~/.peekabot/models ~/.peekabot/robots ~/.peekabot/scenes pkgdatadir/models pkgdatadir/robots pkgdatadir/scenes
- robot_dirs (list of paths)
- The directories in which peekabot looks for robot definition files, in priority order.
- Default:
~/.peekabot/robots pkgdatadir/robots
- scene_dirs (list of paths)
- The directories in which peekabot looks for scene definition files, in priority order.
- Default:
~/.peekabot/scenes pkgdatadir/scenes
- snapshot_dir (path)
- The directory where peekabot saves snapshots and snapshot sequences.
- Default:
~/.peekabot/snapshots
- parser.schema_dir (path)
- The directory where peekabot searches for XML schemas.
- Default:
pkgdatadir/schemas
- parser.validate (bool)
- Enable/disable schema validation when parsing XML files - disable at your own risk!
- Default:
true
- network.listen_port (int)
- The port on which peekabot listens for incoming client connections. Overriden by the
--port command line option.
- Default: 5050
- gui.fps (int)
- The maximum frequency which each viewport is redrawn per second.
- Default: 20
- gui.gui_fps (int)
- The maximum frequency which each viewport is redrawn per second when there's GUI activity.
- Default: 20
- gui.icon_dir (path)
- The directory where peekabot searches for icons used in the GUI.
- Default:
pkgdatadir/images
- gui.viewports.background_color (color)
- The background color of the viewports.
- Default: (1, 1, 1)
- gui.viewports.selected_color (color)
- The color used to outline selected objects.
- Default: (0, 0.3, 1)
- gui.viewports.parent_selected_color (color)
- The color used to outline objects who has a selected ancestor.
- Default: (0.5, 0.75, 1)
- renderer.disable_vbos (bool)
- Forcefully disable the use of Vertex Buffer Objects (VBOs). VBOs can cause problems with certain hardware and drivers.
- Default:
false
- renderer.enable_multisampling (bool)
- Try to enable full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA).
- Default:
true
- renderer.octree.min_node_size (float)
- The minimum allowed size of octree nodes. You shouldn't normally need to alter this setting.
- Default: 1
- renderer.octree.purge_threshold (int)
- Sets the condition on when unnecessay octree nodes are purged. For highly dynamic and static scenes a large and a small value might improve performance. You shouldn't normally need to alter this setting.
- Default: 100
