Thanks for the heads up justin.<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the valuable feedback diva.</div><div>OK this is the part of opensim that I would be *seriously* interested in doing so yes I volunteer to lead this.</div><div>
I'm going to install visual studio tonight and try to compile the code to start playing with it.</div><div>I may have occassional questions tho as although I have ten years experience as a VB & <a href="http://VB.NET">VB.NET</a> coder and so have heavy .net experience it will be catchup time on C#.</div>
<div>But since this will be my only focus for opensim I hope to get it to a reasonable state.</div><div>I'm excited to get into it to see what you have already done and hopefully I could lean on your experience occasionally as a mentor as you already have some ideas.</div>

Trying to do this by email is very ineffective. Jump in to the IRC, one of these days.<br>
<br>
But yes, this is what I meant by needing someone's love, and these struggles are just the beginning... wait until you have it running... you'll come to the conclusion that the model is not practical and NPCs in OpenSim need to be redesigned. I have worked extensively with server-side bots, and my conclusion is that what we have is too complicated.<br>
<br>
Your assumptions that there is no interest on this from the developers is incorrect. We just don't have time considering all other things that we have going on. The redesign of NPCs is not a trivial task. So please jump in and lead that -- your contributions will be much appreciated.<br>

Hi Justin:<br>
On your blog you have a post "passing data between a script and a region module with modSendCommand()"<br>
<br>
Is that more or less how I would go about testing whether I can invoke this code?<br>

No, I'm talking about the NPC module that's in the opensim<br>
source code<br>
found at the following location in the source tree:<br>
<br>
OpenSim\Region\OptionalModules\World\NPC<br>
<br>
Does *nobody* know who the original dev is that did this work?<br>
<br>
<br>
That module has been there for ages. You should be able to find out<br>
who created it by looking in the git logs.<br>
<br>
>From a quick code inspection, it looks like the CreateNPC method<br>
needs to be triggered to get anything to happen. This is hooked up<br>
to the osNpcCreate() command (in the OSSL_Api.cs file). You could<br>
try invoking this command via an in-world script - it looks like<br>
you'll need the uuid of an existing avatar to get going. There are<br>
some other os commands there which appear to the NPC module (say,<br>
move, remove).<br>
<br>
It's also very possible that this module doesn't work any more - I<br>
haven't heard of anybody trying to use it for a long time. The only<br>
way to find out is to try it.<br>
