[Opensim-dev] heads up: recent secondlife client versions don't support OSSL functions

[Mircea Filipescu]

Typical for Linden lab to do such pointless things when they aren't needed nor welcome. Anyway isn't it possible for OSSL functions to just apply an effect to the sim / primitive and the client to simply notice it? Isn't opensim the one who reads the script and applies a certain effect, while the client just sees it? If not maybe we can still ask LL to fix that and still leave the old method in, though that sounds a bit improbable for them to listen and do such a thing for us :( Maybe we can still try to convince them when we have a meeting with them again? Is there really nothing we can do overall... can't that be gotten over somehow?
