[Opensim-users] avatar behavior

[InuYasha Meiji]

As for bouncing down hills when landing, it might be solved once the ODE 
(Open Dynamics Engline) is complete or someone adding code to OpenSim 
works it out.  But it seems that is normal behavjikf in Secondlife too.  
Hopeing that because it is like that in SL, that don't become the norm 
in OpenSim.

I have an idea as far as sitting on unscripted objects go.  I haven't 
tried it myself, and I am right in the middle of something else at the 
moment.  I have used the avataranimations.xml file found in the bin/data 
folder to chnage my walks and fly animations.  It is sort of like making 
an Defalt AO.  Replace the standard sit animations with one that sits 
you lower, and closer to where you would want to sit on objects.  That 
might actually do it.  Just remember, it will use it for everyone.  
Others who have found good ways to make wearable AOs, their Aos will 
still work as long as you don't replace the animations used in 
avataranimations.xml with high priority ones.

Good luck to you all.
InuYasha.
