Ubit would you care to clarifiy
" ( the C# scripts was a example i just had to kill ) "
Its true that in official release 090 C# as XENGINE scripting language did not
compile anymore .
But I notice that in release 0901 C# compiling / running was allowed again .
Opensing C# as scripting source has high threat level as it give access to all
system functions. I have tested and validated that in opensim 0901 one way to
limit the threat is to assign a unique user as able to run such script by
populating the [Startup] section of opensim.ini with the GrantCS = UUID in the
same principle as high threat level OSL scripts can be granted per owner UUID
. Using that restriction I have observed that when a C# script is allowed in
XENGINE ini and run by a owner not GrantCS listed, will compile with error and
fail to save.
I think, that the XENGINE section of opensim.ini is a cleaver way to give the
simulator server operator all the tooling to customize the osl features and
control the risk level he is willing to allow in his server for his land owners
.
You bringing an interesting point when you mention that one script allowed by
one simulator system operator might have impact on more then the simulator
server where it is run . But is it not the case of opensim itself as a
distributed system where grid server and simulator server are operated by
different party. Unless we all fall back to standalone where asset and
simulator reside on same system the example provided about notecard and
llGetNotecardLine(..) is only one example of many and will be true for all open
grids where simulator connection is accepted.
The beauty of opensim is freedom of choice. There is already a second choice
for the others.

Well lets try put some perspective on this...
The problem is not how hard it is to detected and handle disabled functions
The problem is WHY are you using them !!!
See OSSL got a lot a functions in time and for very different reasons.
Many are there because they are just funny/useful on very specific
regions or cases.
Once the allow control was introduced, that got worse, because as dev in
can just not care, i just flag a specious feature as SEVERE,
ESTATE_OWNER only. And just let you change it and shoot your own feet,
or worse someone else feet...
And in many cases you are just doing that. ( the C# scripts was a
example i just had to kill )
see a very simple and useful(?) example
osGetNotecardLine(..)
none of that Dataserv mess of llGetNotecardLine(..) right?
well wrong.. Dataservice is need because the notecard may be on a assets
server on the other side of the world...
and not using it will stall the engine thread, potentially all of then.
Why do i see its errors at osgrid LBSA ?
A lot more examples, but you got the point.
When one writes a script, one must take in consideration its target
audience..
you can't use osSlerp() if you want it to run at current Kitely, can you?
So issue is to identify a set that should be universally supported, and
everyone make the effort to support it.
