[Opensim-users] default avatar appearance

[MW]

Actually with us moving our code to the standard opensim user server, the bigger problem that we had was that the user server was a big monolithic class so hard to add extra things too. Especially if those extras wouldn't be wanted on all grids/setups. 

While we still don't have a real module system yet (thats still a work in progress), I think I could easily add some of our basic appearance creation code. And just leave it disabled by default for now. Then anyone can enable it if they want. 

So if I get time tonight, I will add some basic appearance cloning code to opensim's userserver. Which will accept a http request to clone some clothes/body parts from a existing users inventory to a new avatar's inventory/appearance. So then you can create outfits in world and just set them as the "templates" that new users get given.

OpenSimWI directly manipulates the MySQL database to create avatar
accounts (do we have a create user XMLRPC call on the user server in
grid mode yet?). I know enough about the MySQL layout to write some
sql code into opensimwi to create the assets necessary and to populate
the inventory... but the solution would be *very* brittle (and far
more work than it's worth).
