[Opensim-users] NPC module?

[diva at metaverseink.com]

bodzette,

Trying to do this by email is very ineffective. Jump in to the IRC, one 
of these days.

But yes, this is what I meant by needing someone's love, and these 
struggles are just the beginning... wait until you have it running... 
you'll come to the conclusion that the model is not practical and NPCs 
in OpenSim need to be redesigned. I have worked extensively with 
server-side bots, and my conclusion is that what we have is too 
complicated.

Your assumptions that there is no interest on this from the developers 
is incorrect. We just don't have time considering all other things that 
we have going on. The redesign of NPCs is not a trivial task. So please 
jump in and lead that -- your contributions will be much appreciated.
