[Opensim-dev] teleport scripts with osteleportagent need to be manually reset to work when region restarts

[Salahzar Stenvaag]

Thanks for your answers, they are all quite clarifying especially Justin's
remark on stopping/starting which seems an easy and practical workaround.
(I'm also impressed by the fact that many of you did answer so rapidly,
this means that opensim scripting community is NOT small, should be some
way to exchange tricks and tips somewhere).

My original question however is NOT how to force the restart of the script
after a restart (actually I checked my script and it used 256, so probably
I have to change it to 1024, and that probably would solve the problem).

The core of the question IS: Why should some script to be manually reset to
retain their original behaviour? Is this to be considered a bug and so I
should file a Mantis, or your experience is different? (Maybe I have to set
up some particular things in opensim.ini or I erroneously set a different
setup. For instance I set up to NOT delete scripts at startup in my sims,
and this might be interacting with other behaviour?).

Maybe when region restarts some events are forgotten to be reinstalled from
the simulator script engine? I'm very curious to understand how the XEngine
is working so to have a look and figure out myself what's happening. Is
there any documentation on this piece of code?

Thanks for your feedbacks and helps,
salahzar
