Just look at the hypergrid code, and you will see. It's all done via inheritance, delegation, and region modules. Rather than looking at it as an annoyance, I have found it to be an exciting constraint to code it up with minimum interference on the core. All patches I
have submitted in the last couple of weeks have been to make things friendly for subclassing, that's all.<br> <br> My only comment to you core developers is that I see several things in the core that probably shouldn't be there. Cores should be as small as possible.<br>
<br> When people finally realize that opensim is only casually an application that looks like SL but, more importantly, a framework that can be extended, I think we will start to see a lot more deviation from SL. The message is still not out there. (I promised to put out my traffic sim code as an example, but then the hypergrid got control over me...)<br>
