The remote admin console was not 'shot down' by anyone. You need the admin client and proper configuration in opensim.ini. That being said, does it work well?" depends on what you like and whether you get along with it. Documentation is sparse and not too many use it as it's a pita to get working.<div>
<br></div><div>The reason this hasn't 'been done long ago' is that opensim IS TRULY ALPHA CODE AND CHANGES CONSTANTLY (caps intentional as no one ever hears this).</div><div><br></div><div>This is why the console is still the primary control interface, as the most significant thing happening with opensim continues to be development.</div>
