Actually with us moving our code to the standard opensim user server, the bigger problem that we had was that the user server was a big monolithic class so hard to add extra things too. Especially if those extras wouldn't be wanted on all grids/setups.
While we still don't have a real module system yet (thats still a work in progress), I think I could easily add some of our basic appearance creation code. And just leave it disabled by default for now. Then anyone can enable it if they want. So if I get time tonight, I will add some basic appearance cloning code to opensim's userserver. Which will accept a http request to clone some clothes/body parts from a existing users inventory to a new avatar's inventory/appearance. So then you can create outfits in world and just set them as the "templates" that new users get given. --- On Wed, 11/3/09, Mic Bowman <[email protected]> wrote: From: Mic Bowman <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] default avatar appearance To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 11 March, 2009, 8:38 PM OpenSimWI directly manipulates the MySQL database to create avatar accounts (do we have a create user XMLRPC call on the user server in grid mode yet?). I know enough about the MySQL layout to write some sql code into opensimwi to create the assets necessary and to populate the inventory... but the solution would be *very* brittle (and far more work than it's worth). --mic On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 1:31 PM, Stefan Andersson <[email protected]> wrote: > Basically, a couple of proprietary grids offer both these functionalitites; > it's part of the Tribal Server offering, and recently apparently > Reactiongrid has implemented it. > > Basically, library assets are read-only, so they need to be copied to the > users inventory to be modifiable.
