[Opensim-users] Old ODE still to keep?

[Peter Gloor]

I don't know about others, but personally I don't need legacy ODE any
longer as I'm already running my regions either on BulletSim or ubODE.
Looking back I think it was worth the effort in changing the LSL scripts
where needed. However, not everybody will be able to do this.

My primary home grid, Metropolis, changed from ODE to BulletSim as
default when they moved to Opensim 0.9 about 9 months ago. I placed a call
for feedback on their forum today.

Regarding the underlying unmanaged c/c++ support library, wouldn't it be
possible to keep it and to use a new and better one for ubODE in parallel?

Pius Noel
