[Opensim-dev] script states

[Frisby, Adam]

Sim states can't be reliable preserved between updates at the moment, because if we make any form of API change in the script engine, the states are invalidated.

Subject: [Opensim-dev] script states

Hi all,

right now script states are kept in a directory "ScriptEngines".

Loosing script states is getting a little bit pain in the neck.  Some script don´t start without a manual reset for unknown reasons, other scripts don´t get on their feet again by design.  So you have always some people running around playing with scripts after an update that looses script state.

If I update I am always somewhat unsure wether I should take this into new version or not- thinking about consistency and compatibility.

Furthermore I have no clue, wether that will be the best place in future when sometimes region crossing for scripts or wearing scripted attachments and logoff / logon will happen.


Would it be possible to move the script states to central, or at least the region db ?


Cheers,
Ralf
