Hi all,
I would love to see more atachment points, or multiple attachments per point, but I have a couple of thoughts on the matter.
Some things that haven't been mentioned here that I think should be mentioned...
Implementing multiple attachments per attachment point has implications beyond the client.
1) LSL Scripting allows manipulation of attachments, and for attachments to continue to work properly, changes would need to be made to server code to handle the multiple attachments.
2) More attachments will impact the 'silicon footprint' of avatars (it could be that LL is still pondering the impact of this change to performance of both server code and client).
3) probably a lot of other stuff I haven't thought of or mentioned here :)
I believe these points may be (contributing to) why we have not seen the multiple attachment change rolled into an official viewer yet.
Great idea, just a bit more complex than it looks at first glance, I think.
Regards,
Jodiah
