[Opensim-users] Load Testing OpenSim

[Tom Haines]

Funny this should come up now. I've been looking into using Radegast at work
to perform some load testing. I've created a plugin that listens for
commands on the chat channel, and then has the avatar perform them.

Here is the currently supported list of commands
walk here - walk towards avatar issuing command
walk randomly - pick a new direction every second and move in that direction
stop walking - self explanatory
teleport <regionname> - teleports listening avatar to <regionname>

Commands to be implemented:
Sit
Stand
Follow <avatar> (currently implemented with radegast's follow function but
it doesn't work.)

This allows one avatar to issue commands to many avatars to help facilitate
a decent load scenario. I plan to post the code to Github today. I
definitely would appreciate any input on this.
