[Opensim-users] Remote Admin default_appearance.xml

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi Eugenio.  Unfortunately, "create user" on the console (or by remote call to a configured UserAccount service which 
allows this call) and "create user" through the RemoteAdmin are different codepaths.

"create user" does all the work necessary to get a default 'Ruth' to appear correctly on both version 1, 2 and 3 
viewers.  Unfortunately, it currently has no mechanism to do anything other than set up a "Ruth" other than invoking 
various asset/inventory/avatar calls directly or by fiddling directly with the database.  I think a mechanism to allow a 
different default appearance is something that core should have but it hasn't been high on my priority list.

The RemoteAdmin version of create user will only work for standalones.  In theory, it can read from a 
default_appearance.xml file and use that to set up an appearance.  Unfortunately, afaik there is no example file.  Also, 
it's unlikely to work with v2/v3 viewers as I don't believe it will create the necessary outfit links.

Sorry there isn't a better answer right now.
