Introduction

This is a matrix of the features currently implemented in OpenSim. Please feel free to correct existing entries and add new ones.

Feature Name	Core OpenSim?	3rd Party Modules?	Notes
Create/change/move/delete prims	Yes	N/A
Persistent prim inventories	Yes	N/A
Basic asset types	Yes	N/A	Basic asset types include textures, sounds, notecards, etc.
Coalesced object groups	No	No	Coalesced objects groups (being able to take a selected of unlinked objects as one group that can be rezzed back in the same spatial arrangements) are not yet implented.
Linksets	Yes	N/A	Bugs (some fairly fundamental) remain with linksets but basic support is implented.

Feature Name	Core OpenSim?	3rd Party Modules?	Notes
Animations	Yes	No
Persistent avatar inventories	Yes	N/A

Feature Name	Core OpenSim?	3rd Party Modules?	Notes
Scripts	Yes	No	A large percentage (though not all) of LSL is implemented by OpenSim. There are also OpenSim specific OSSL functions available.
C# scripting	Yes	No	C# scripting is experimental and insecure. However, it can be useful in some situations

Feature Name	Core OpenSim?	3rd Party Modules?	Notes
Archiving	Yes	No	Entire regions can be saved and loaded as OpenSim Archives. Avatar inventories and parts of inventories can be saved and loaded as OpenSim Inventory Archives.
Groups	No	Yes	See the group service implementation from the Flotasm project. SimianGrid also provides a Groups connector as part of its grid services package. Both these services have connectors that are bundled with core OpenSim. See the OpenSim.ini.example file for more details.
Permissions	Yes	No	Permissions (e.g. controlling whether objects can be modified or copied) must be enabled in OpenSim.ini - these are not enabled by default
Physics	Yes	No	There are several physics modules bundled with OpenSim, but only the ODE module (Open Dynamics Engine) really works.

Feature Name	Core OpenSim?	3rd Party Modules?	Notes
Single server (standalone) mode	Yes	N/A	Persistence databases supported in standalone mode are SQLite and MySQL. A MSSQL exists and should work, but is not officially supported.
Grid (multi-server) mode	Yes	N/A	In grid mode, only persistence to a MySQL database is officially supported. Persistence can also be done with a MSSQL database but this is not officially supported.
