[Opensim-users] Set whisper distance to zero ? Alternative debug channel ?

[Vanish Seriath]

llsay can specify channels (the first variable is an integer defining the
channel; 0 is local chat). A script can be set to listen to a specific
channel and write that output to a notecard, so that would be the easiest
solution imho.

I'm trying to use OpenSim for unusual purposes: psychological testing.  In
order to give me information about what the user (or, more precisely, their
avatar) does, I need to be able to log various things to a text file which
can be processed afterwards.  The way I've been doing this without messing
with how OpenSim works is to use llSay() with mute on, so that the text
doesn't appear on the screen.

I'm not particularly happy with this solution so I thought of whispering
instead.  I could use llWhisper() and in the configuration file set the
whisper distance to 0.  Does anyone know if this would cause problems with
anything else that goes on ?  Perhaps I should set the whisper distance to
0.000001 instead.  Or someone may know of a completely different way to make
a text log file.

Ideally I'd be using a special chat channel to do this: perhaps talk to
channel 0x7FFFFFFE might just put text directly in a file on disk without
showing it on the screen.  It occurs to me that this could be a useful
debugging tool for many users, not just myself, and should not interfer with
much code which has already been written.  Perhaps it could be added to a
future version of OpenSim.  Does anyone think this could be a reasonable
feature request ?

Simon.
