[Opensim-dev] avatar system or similar

[Jani Pirkola]

Hi all,

What happened to realXtend's "avatar system"? Is it being integrated
> with OpenSim?


realXtend avatar system is still being built further, things are being added
to it and bugs being fixed. realXtend server 0.2 is based on now quite old
version of OpenSim and we are now merging the newest OpenSim to realXtend
server. After the process we will have all the avatar system (as well as
everything else) as patches to current OpenSim, of course some of those
patches are not done in a way that they can be applied directly and I
clearly see that some refactoring is needed before they can be taken into
OpenSim.

We will put patches to mantis for review as it seems to be the best way to
get patches in. Hopefully after the process we will have the realXtend
avatar system integrated into OpenSim.

This is exactly how I see things as well. We are making serious effort to
make the avatar work in a usable and nice way for the people.
