Just for clarification, could you explain what an NPC is? I know from
D&D and other RPGs that its a NonPlayer Character, but I want to make
sure I am not mis-understanding.
An NPC is a Non Player Character, as you say.

Hi folks. Some of you may know that I've been working on OSSL NPC functions
over the past couple of weeks
(osNpcCreate(), etc). The main body of work has now been completed. The
existing functions, many of which had been
broken since OpenSim 0.6.9 (I think) should now be working again. Existing
scripts should work, though this is not
guaranteed. Autopilot should also be working from libomv.
General information about OSSL NPC, the current functions and an example
script are at
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OSSLNPC. New additions include functions to
get avatar rotation and position, movement
options and the ability to save appearance and baked texture data
permanently so that it can be used by NPCs when the
original avatar it was copied from is no longer logged in.
I also composed a brief wiki page on the different options available for
using NPCs in OpenSim at
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/NPC. Please feel free to add to this.
Though my desired philosophy is to try and avoid adding osNpc* functions
that can be achieved via existing scripting and
techniques (e.g. by putting the controlling script in a prim that is
attached to the NPC for detecting the presence of
other avatars), I've no doubt that other good osNpc* candidates will emerge.
I'm very probably going to move on to
other things now, but it's worth bringing these up, either on this mailing
list or in the comments section of the OSSL
NPC wiki page, in case other people are interested in submitting patches for
them too.
Very many thanks to David Burden from Daden (http://www.daden.co.uk) for
sponsoring this work and bumping it way up my
priority stack.
Best Regards,
