Hi everyone, I wanted to consult you all about this matter, even though I have already committed some related code. I will gladly change it if we decide to do things differently.
Once upon a time, there seemed to be a necessity that you had to wait 5 minutes if you crashed and tried to log back in. Those were the days before my time, tales that the elder tells us by the fireside. After these days, when I started messing around with OpenSim, there was a bug that would kick you after a few minutes if you tried to log back on without waiting. This was also fixed (thanks Crista!), which leads me to my question. Why are we still getting this message? Well, the only purpose I can think of is it warns you that you either crashed last time or that someone is using your account. Either way, something went wrong and the user might want to know that. So the code I committed puts an option in standalone that allows you to skip this message and just let OpenSim kick the old user and connect the new one, kind of like what happens in messengers if you logon from a different location. This is very useful when you have softwares that encapsulate the login process and doesn't want to leave the user looking at the viewer's login page with a failed message. So, should this become standard and just skip and kick, or should we leave it up to configuration? Opinions please.. -- Arthur Valadares <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
