[Opensim-users] Assets 101

[Stefan Andersson]

+1 on your approach, Justin
 
it should be possible to trigger an "Terrain Download Requested" event, that is caught by the default terrain module, that should be overridable by an 'extended module', that could inject a dialog box, whose response then triggers the original events.Best regards,Stefan AnderssonTribal Media AB> Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 14:41:43 +0000> From: jjustincc at googlemail.com> To: opensim-users at lists.berlios.de> Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] Assets 101> > jon cundill wrote:> > Hi> > > > Just knocked together a quick and dirty prototype for this, and using > > the Terrain Upload/ Download for OAR files actually works quite well.> > > > - Noticed Limitations > > > > Viewer needs you to have .raw on the end of the filename.
