We haven't officially made any hints about libsecondlife being ready for production use, but that hasn't stopped the early adopters. Yesterday the band Long Range did a concert in SL, and the technical workings were pretty interesting. The band was live in a studio streaming a Quicktime feed in-world with video and audio of the performance, but the band member avatars were operated by libsecondlife. The bots were programmed to login, hunt for their target pose stand and sit on it which would begin the animation. This is nothing different from the sit command in TestClient or some of the other code people have been working on, but the interesting part is that the concert was split up between 12 identical sims synchronized together that all needed band members playing. Five band members times 12 sims is 60 libsecondlife bots, and they were all running from one server! There were a couple glitches with the appearances being sent out that I'm chalking up to network load issues (logging in 60 avs at the same time), but overall the concert(s) went really well. A video is available at:
