[Opensim-dev] OpenSim Library

[Ursula MATOVA]

Wall, in grid mode, it's possible to use iar content to add objects to  
OpenSim Library "by hand" :

1/ untar the IAR file ( tar -xf archive.iar )
2/ find ".xml" files in the assets directory
3/ create entry in "ObjectsAssetSet.xml"
4/ create entry in "ObjectsLibraryItems.xml"

Clear you client cache & restart OpenSim ...

The only point is : you cannot rez objects directly from OpenSim  
Library ... you first need to copy them to your Inventory.
It's working like a charm even if those operations need to be automated.

I have one question about textures defined in the xml file :

In the IAR archive, you have all jp2 textures files used in objects,  
but there are no references to them into the xml file ( I mean no  
references to their UUID ).

The only thing is something like that :

<TextureEntry>D8A5VoXjdbelfuLe7gQXwgpUpwVqTnrFznsGUr19LB2/ 
AAAAAAAAAACAPwAAAIA/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</TextureEntry>

I guess that's some special encoding ... but cannot find the "link"  
between the texture itself, it's UUID and that line.

Can somebody explain that ?

Because, I'm sure that you need to load textures too, not only the  
xml. specially in case of using the assets in a foreign grid/database.

Thanks in advance,

Ursula.
