[Opensim-users] Opensim-users Digest, Vol 44, Issue 10

[dz]

Aloha.

You also need to remember that OpenSim does NOT enforce all the linking
rules that SL does..   It is possible to have a single linked object with
more prims and more space between them,  yet still pass messages  via the
SetLinkedPrim functions and link_messages.
Again  YMMV, and most of the LSL inter-script limitations apply.
However...with careful planing  and scripting, it is possible to encode and
send significant amounts  of  non-string data by using  some prim properties
as parameters.
