LOL

Better you than me, I HATE Wiki edting like most do and your proficient at it so....   I have several other things that need my attention at this time.  Still have a few of my pages to update here thought.  All in time I guess.

Forgot to add something that is a concern: Not everyone will be running the latest commit right away. So to them, the old function names will still be current.

Best create new pages with a link to them from the old function names, with a comment that from OpenSimulator version 0.7.1 b512ec (2010-12-10) onwards, the old function name is deprecated, and that the new one should be used instead.

I could do that, no problem at all. Only thing is that i am not 100% of the format of the version number. Would like an example of this specific version that i can copy/paste.

Normalization of OSSL function names.

Normalization of OSSL function names.

Added the following replacement functions for compliance to the OSSL standards stated on the wiki: osGetTerrainHeight osSetTerrainHeight osGetSunParam osSetSunParam osSetPenColor

The functions that do not comply to the standard give a warning when used but work normally otherwise.

The graphics primitive drawing command "PenColor" has also been added as well as dynamic texture parameter "bgcolor" as an alternative to "bgcolour".

The following two functions have been renamed because they are not enabled yet aynway: osWindParamSet => osSetWindParam osWindParamGet => osGetWindParam

In progress

I have created a new template for deprecated functions. Simply edit the page, and add {{deprecate|date|NewPageName}} at the top of the page, where date can be in any format (would suggest something like "Dec 21 1967"), and NewPageName would be the name of the new page/function.

Saves a lot of work :-)

All i will need to do (which i can't do right now, got people coming over in a few mins Never mind, they are running late :-)), is create new pages, then copy over the content from the old page, and do a quick search-and-replace to change the text.

(BTW, i am still having fun ;-))
