[Opensim-dev] future plans for NPCs (BOTs) in OpenSim

[Hendrik Kunert]

Hi,

 

I'm currently working on a OpenSim project for a German Company and we have
some plans to integrate bots (NPCs) in OpenSim. On the www you could find
some stuff about it, but in most cases there are only client side bots or
LSL scripted bots in use. We planning a server side solution  with an
interface (xml-rpc or similar) for in-world editing over a hud and/or a
viewer plugin. This project is planned as open source and maybe it could
find his way back into OpenSim project.

Now my questions are, is there someone working on bot integration? What are
the plans for the future, does the community prefer server side or client
side bots? And are there plans for "real" NPC without the need of an real
avatar? It would also be nice, if someone could give me some hints, where I
can find the bot-relating parts in the OpenSim code.

 

thanks

 

Hendrik
