[Opensim-users] Playing a series of animations back to back to create a long one

[Justin Clark-Casey]

I was curious about this topic so I did do a quick google "animation delay second life"

 From the look of [1], it seems that this is an unresolved problem with Second Life in general, unless some other 
animation preload function has been implemented in the meantime.

My purely hypothetical guess is that the viewer is told the animation reference ID and only then loads it from the 
simulator if it doesn't have it, resulting in the delay.
