That's because the AOs in TPVs are necessarily incomplete - because they cannot integrate with the server-side. If Linden Lab *were* considering just dropping similar functionality into the viewer without additional server-side integration, I'd consider that to only be half a job. ie: If Linden Lab basically copied what the TPVs do for the official viewer then creators would once again likely wind up in the position of telling customers "No, you can't use the builtin thingy. You have to use the scripted thingy instead, or it won't work properly. Why? Well, it's kind of complicated to explain..." That's a point of friction that users don't need. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
