[Opensim-dev] TP protocol handle

Sat Jan 31 23:51:31 UTC 2009

Thanks, btw, I am at Gateway 3000 (the UCI grid located at 3000,3000,
and there are some unusual things regarding inventory and rezzing via
the HG mechanism:

 When I teleported to the ucigrid, a pre-created object (in my home region)
 is visible in my inventory. I cannot drag it to your land, but I can create
 a new primitive on  your land directly. When I try to drag it from 
inventory,
 there is the "rez sound" but the object does not show in-world as an asset.

 Clicking on any inventory folder that does not contain an asset results in
 "Loading.....<name of folder>" that never resolves.
