      <div>That is: first steps needed to animate an avatar</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>After the avatar has confirmed and accepted the animation,
        there is a protocol, which is certainly more complicate, to
        deploy this animation to other viewers, (exchange of UUID /
        animations, updates on moves, whatever…). But it would occur
        only once the avatar has confirmed it can handle the animation </div>
      <div><br>

      <div>So, it sounds logical to me that the avatar can be animated

            :(<br>
            I still do not get it.<br>
            <br>
            Below is how I think the animation system works.<br>
            Let me know where I am wrong.<br>
            I have  a Avatar or a NPC with an attachment.<br>
            The attachment has script which plays an animation using an
            animation function like llStartAnimation().<br>
            Now like any other  script, the script when triggered, will 
            run on the server side. (Right ?)<br>
            When the server encounters the animation function  the
            server will send a message to the client asking it to play
            an animation with that UUID<br>
            If the client has an animation with that UUID it will
            animate the Avatar or NPC with that animation else it will
            ask the server to send the animation and will animate when
            it receives it.<br>
            If the animation is internal animation and  if it is, as you
            say, part of the client  then the client already has it and 
            should be able to animate the Avatar/NPC<br>
            <br>
            Sorry to belabor this but it seems I am obviously missing a
            major concept and would like to figure out what :))<br>
            <br>
            Thanks<br>

                      Thanks for pointing out the BVH files.<br>
                      121 files!!<br>
                      A bit of a pain uploading  them :)<br>
                      You also loose the per bone priorites which you
                      get with internal/default animations.<br>
                      Also I am assuming that user loaded animations are
                      not as efficient as internal ones. Right?<br>
                      <br>
                      I am still curious why the internal animations do
                      not play.<br>
                      As far as I know all animations run on client
                      side.<br>
                      The triggers for animation can come from client
                      side (example when a users presses a key to make
                      the avatar walk)<br>
                      or from server side  (example when if it is being
                      called from script).<br>
                      NPCs animations are triggered from scripts.<br>
                      How is this different from Avatar animations being
                      triggered from scripts ?<br>
