It just so happens that I've been doing some work in this area this week. osNpcCreate() now works again for appearance
if the avatar is logged in (and I plan to make it so that it can use saved appearances). osNpcMoveTo() is working, as
are say and remove.
If you do play with them, it's not worth filing any bugs yet since it's still a WIP. There's a new [NPC] section in
config which needs Enabled = true for this stuff to be active.
I'll probably write up a quick wiki page when I'm finished. The bot script I've been using to test is at

I'd like to know if anyone is interested in the formation of a "Bot"
(NPC) group,
and if so whether to use LinkedIn Groups of Facebook Groups. The purpose
of the group would be discussions on both client and server side bots in
opensim-based products (e.g., opensim, aurora).
Unfortunately, very little seems to be documented on bots, the APIs, and how
they are implemented although the occasional video pops ups showing
the effects. The current basic version of opensim has bots as clouds at
least
in the 2.0 viewers, and it isn't clear if aurora has them fully working.
Perhaps, the group can serve as a common area where users and developers
can chat about what works and what doesn't, and more importantly, how
to make things work with API documentation.
The opensim environment would appear to be perfect for bot related
development
and research, so if there is an interest, post here and specify your
choice (facebook
or linkedin). From what I can tell, facebook group posts are either by
email notification
or nothing at all, whereas linked groups are digests (daily or weekly)
but no individual
emails. Of course, there is always Google/Yahoo groups...
