[Opensim-dev] Client Serialization and Transfer between Regions!

[Umar Farooq]

Thanks Justin for your help! I am looking into it and managed to get
client information through Scene.TryGetClient(Presence.UUID) method and
now trying how to perform deserialization function after serialization
operation. Thanks again for your help and time.

Best wishes,

Umar
