[Opensim-dev] non-phantom grass

[dan miller]

Sean suggested I post this discussion to the list.  The upshot is that
somehow his grass prims don't have the "phantom" flag set, which grass
usually does.  My guess is that earlier versions of opensim didn't get that
flag into the database (they do now).  Note that setting phantom manually in
edit mode still doesn't work, but at least grass & trees default to phantom.

I assume this is how things work at Linden, though I haven't checked.  It's
a fine scenario for now, but anyone with grass & trees made a while ago
needs to edit their objects somehow to set the phantom flag (add 1024
decimal to ObjectFlags) if they don't want trouble.
