[Opensim-dev] Supplying IScene instead of Scene for the future region modules mechanism

[Stefan Andersson]

Justin, Homer;

 

consider two things you might:

 

1) take the opportunity to take a moment to re-ponder each "missing" IScene power - should the caller perhaps move instead? Or should the called method move to a place where the caller has access without going thru IScene? Maybe the Scene is too big, not IScene too small?

 

2) maybe the notion of a IScene vs a ISceneBase is really an indication that you should have a 'ISceneForRegionModules' instead - an facade enumerating the powers the core wish to expose to the scene, to force the region module coder to code in a hygienic way. Laying the foundations for a ISceneAPI, if you will?

On my mind for a long time, both these things has been.


Best regards,
