sounds good - its useful for just wanting to check the things before joining - simllar to roblox which uses visitor that shows avatar a demo ones<br><br>> Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 10:49:20 -0500<br>> From: fishwick@cise.ufl.edu<br>> To: opensim-users@lists.berlios.de<br>> Subject: [Opensim-users] the concept of "visitor"<br>> <br>> I would like to open up one of our worlds to the general public by <br>> allowing people<br>> to log in as visitors. This is related to the "anonymous login" and has <br>> been discussed<br>> in various forms, but here is the concept - not sure if anything exists <br>> yet in trunk to<br>> support this:<br>> <br>> 1. A user logs in using whatever name they want. If authentication is <br>> turned off, this is<br>> no problem. However, what would be ideal is that when the user logs <br>> off, any trace<br>> of them is removed from the database-- they do not persist.<br>> <br>> 2. When the user logs in, they have access to the Library part of the <br>> inventory, but are<br>> unable to load any assets to the server, thus they would have <br>> nothing under "My Inventory"<br>> or be able to copy items from the Library or the world into My <br>> Inventory. The Library<br>> would contain all necessities (clothing, basic objects and scripts <br>> that they require<br>> in the space).<br>> <br>> 3. The user cannot build on the island but can run scripts and navigate <br>> performing full<br>> interaction.<br>> <br>> #1 is not a huge issue since I would imagine that the incremental space <br>> allocation for<br>> users just means additional rows in the user/agent tables -- shouldn't <br>> take up too much<br>> room. #2 is a bigger problem - visitors should not be taxing the asset <br>> server. #3<br>> can be handled by unchecking both boxes next to Create Objects in About <br>> Land->Options.<br>> <br>> Are either #1 or #2 possible? They would seem to be a prerequisite for <br>> something approaching<br>> basic web page services: people come in, visit, and exit while leaving a <br>> minimal trace.<br>> Builders on the other hand, have special login names that give them the <br>> capability to build<br>> and load assets (possible with groups?).<br>> <br>> -p<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Paul Fishwick, PhD<br>> Professor<br>> University of Florida<br>> CISE Department, CSE 301<br>> Gainesville, FL 32611<br>> Email: fishwick@cise.ufl.edu<br>> Web: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~fishwick<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Opensim-users mailing list<br>> Opensim-users@lists.berlios.de<br>> https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users<br> <br /><hr />Do you want a Hotmail account? <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/197222280/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign-up now - Free</a></body>
