Hi Justin,
Got it working. I am using the 0.7.0.2 release of the code so had to
make some changes, but you help was invaluable, thanks for the pointer
to the tests too.
Thanks again
Simon

Hi All,
I am new to Opensim development and was hoping I could "pick your
brains" about how to best go about creating a region
module, using the Vanilla Opensim c# API, that will create and
manipulate objects within a scene.
API is rather strong at this point, but the internals have been stable
for quite some time. However, this isn't
guaranteed to be the case in the future.
I have taken a look at the documentation and also seen the Python
Modrex visualisation of a Software project from source
control. Unfortunately I am not very familiar with the Opensim API or
Python and we want to avoid complicating the
project by adding in extensions.
What we have is a simple region module based on the Hello world
example (I couldn't get the updated mechanism to work).
Where I am struggling is with the loading and copying of the objects.
What we want is to have a set of persistent
defined objects stored somewhere, then to create a number of these in
the scene e.g. ObjA, ObjB and ObjC are stored
somewhere, we create 3 objAs and 2 objBs and connect them together
using ObjCs.
The technique I usually use is to place ObjA, ObjB and ObjC in another
prim's inventory. Then I rez them by retrieving
them by name, with code like the following.
SceneObjectPart part;
Scene scene;
Vector3 rezPos;
TaskInventoryItem item =
part.Inventory.GetInventoryItems(objAName)[0];
SceneObjectGroup so =
part.Inventory.GetRezReadySceneObject(item);
scene.AddNewSceneObject(so, true, rezPos, so.Rotation,
Vector3.Zero);
If you need to link then programatically that's another issue. There is
some test code in
OpenSim/Region/Framework/Scenes/Tests/SceneObjectLinkTests.cs that
should prove useful.
