Oh boy, I can use this. The grid I have been working on, I am building
everything, including Avatars I will offer using Real life scale. I
know in SL that confuses some people so I will explain. I appear short
to some in SL, because I use the scale shown in the building tool
editor. .5 meters is really .5 meters.
I am 5' 8" in Real Life. so my appearance editor is set for my AV
height at 1.87 meters tall. Short to giants in secondlife. I choose
this scale because it makes sense to me. I can build a real life
building to scale and have it look correct and like it does in real life
without having to buy and pay tier on twice as much land as I would need
to build it.
Anyway there is one drawback besides some people who don't understand
how to use mouse look to see when inside a nice home that isn't built
with cathedral ceilings. Most homes are not. One drawback is walking
animations tend to be made for giant avatars. I haven't taken
measurements yet, but will. This is using pure eye sight. They seem
correctly moving and taking steps at the default 1.3m step distance.
When you make and AV with a real height in mind, a scaled down Avatar
ends up taking a shorter stride and appears to slide forward.
The walk step becomes to short and slides to 1.3 ahead. When an Avatar
at my height should only be 0.75 the step. With everyone in my grid
being normal size, I can make adjustment using these setting to shorten
the step difference. I don't care if it appears slower. It would look
ridiculous seeing shorter humans looking like a tiny dog running next to
a horse.
Thanks for the tip, and thanks for letting me rant.

found the avatar movement speed is rather slow (even in the running

Thanks!
Avatar speed is adjustable in the ODEPhysicsSettings section of your
OpenSim.ini configuration file. The relevant settings are:
; speed of movement with Always Run off
av_movement_divisor_walk = 1.3
; speed of movement with Always Run on
av_movement_divisor_run = 0.8
I'm afraid I don't know exactly how the values for these options work.
Perhaps someone else can clarify them, or you can experiment with them.
You can also increase the speed of individual avatars using the
scripting function osSetSpeed. The wiki page describing this function
can be found here: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OsSetSpeed
