Suzy, Dr. Scofield:
Thank you for bringing the issue with compiling scripts with OpenSim-
specific extensions to LSL to our attention.
It's not our intention to 'break the viewer' with the recent changes,
as a viewer fork would not be in the interests of grid interoperability.
However, the change was made for a reason, and I need some time to
figure out why it was made. Thanks for your patience.
We are looking at the JIRA Suzy filed, http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-9332
.
Thank you.

I think it is really helpful to have a common viewer for the OpenGrid
work, at least in the short term. Once OpenSim developers switch to
another viewer, the desire to maintain protocol compatibility with

I did some digging into the viewer on this issue, and opened a jira
for
it.
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-9332
OpenSim needs a way to pass OS*() functions in scripts back to the
sim.
Note also that there appears to be a recent addition to the protocol
for
ScriptRunningReply, a bool named 'Mono' is now checked by the
viewer. I
opened a Mantis bug for this:

having just wasted most of a day on trying to figure out why OSSL
functions such as osSetDynamicTextureData and friends were
returning an
LSL compile error (ERROR: name not in scope) i thought i'd report
back
on my findings:
* OSSL functions (inspite of the heavy changes in the scripting
subsystem in recent days) are working just fine (provided you
enabled them as documented in OpenSim.ini.example)
* recent LindenLab(tm)/(r) provided secondlife clients (certainly
the 1.21 series) are apparently no longer relying on the grid to
vet the script and the functions it calls, but instead seem to
check all function calls against
o list of known LSL function
o list of functions you have defined in your script
o anything not found on those lists is flagged as "not in
scope"
once i switched to hippo viewer
(http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/opensim-viewer/)
<http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/opensim-viewer/>
everything
was fine.
cheers,
dr scofield
