[Opensim-users] Assets 101

Ok
I'll set-up a forge project and work this up into a Region Module.

In the meantime if anyone wants to play I've attached my original hack to
this mail as a patch .

Note, this is very much pre-alpha code, almost certainly full of bugs,
guaranteed to trash you opensim install and generally ruin your life.

Only works with oar files at the moment. Trick to make this work is to strip
the file extension of the filename requested to be uploaded or downloaded
and see what we have left - if we still have a filename and an extension
then assume OAR file upload/download rather than terrain file. So
house.oar.raw will assume you want an oar file and house.raw will assume you
want a raw file.

There is hardly any code needed to get this going - as Diva has mentioned in
the past, the awesome module architecture the devs have put in place make it
real easy to do these things in opensim
