I'll bite...<br><br> Lets focus on one of the patches.... new feature: attaching objects to non-owner <a href="http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6133" target="_blank">http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6133</a> ...<br>
<br>First problem with this patch... It replicates the <b><span class="comment">osForceAttachToOtherAvatarFromInventory</span></b> function<br>documented here -> <a href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OsForceAttachToOtherAvatarFromInventory">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OsForceAttachToOtherAvatarFromInventory</a> .. as you can see from the history of that page it was created almost a month before your patch was submitted...<br>
<br>Second problem with this function... and one i added to the talk page on the wiki...<br><div style="margin-left:40px">Unless that object is unscripted OR is removed when the avatar exits the region or disconnects, <br>
this sounds like a heap of griefer trouble...<br><br>What happens when I visit a region where an object scans me, attach a malicious package to me,<br>and then take advantage of the fact that attached objects don't require permissions to<br>
teleport me to a random region and have the object spew 200,000 prims into someones else space??? <br>Is MY fault I didnt check all of my attachments before and after i TP'd???<br><br></div>There are so many reasons why asking for permissions works, and owning the objects that are attached to you makes sense..<br>
The ONLY valid reason I have ever come across for someone wanting to attach something to me without me owning it is <br>DEMO prim/mesh clothing/accessories That functionality IS supported in SL via <a href="http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlAttachToAvatarTemp">lAttachToAvatarTemp</a>... and ASKS.<br>
<br>Like I said above.. making this functionality accessable to NPC bots who cannot leave the region, and currently cannot grant permissions, MIGHT be a use case.. But since you make no distinctions...<br><br>...<br><br>
I guess the bottom line is... there's some code there, yes... but even if it is functional, it is going to take more than filing a mantis to get it worked on and reviewed... Part of that work is defining and communicating the NEED for the function so it can be balanced against the implications of implementing it. <br>
