I guess I must be dense :(
I still do not get it.
Below is how I think the animation system works.
Let me know where I am wrong.
I have a Avatar or a NPC with an attachment.
The attachment has script which plays an animation using an animation
function like llStartAnimation().
Now like any other script, the script when triggered, will run on the
server side. (Right ?)
When the server encounters the animation function the server will send
a message to the client asking it to play an animation with that UUID
If the client has an animation with that UUID it will animate the Avatar
or NPC with that animation else it will ask the server to send the
animation and will animate when it receives it.
If the animation is internal animation and if it is, as you say, part
of the client then the client already has it and should be able to
animate the Avatar/NPC
Sorry to belabor this but it seems I am obviously missing a major
concept and would like to figure out what :))
Thanks

I think what was meant is that internal animations are part of the
client, not loaded from server.
As your NPC is not controlled by a client, it doesn't have these
animations at disposal, unless you put them in your script's prim.

Garmin,
Thanks for pointing out the BVH files.
121 files!!
A bit of a pain uploading them :)
You also loose the per bone priorites which you get with
internal/default animations.
Also I am assuming that user loaded animations are not as efficient
as internal ones. Right?
I am still curious why the internal animations do not play.
As far as I know all animations run on client side.
The triggers for animation can come from client side (example when a
users presses a key to make the avatar walk)
or from server side (example when if it is being called from script).
NPCs animations are triggered from scripts.
How is this different from Avatar animations being triggered from
scripts ?
Thanks

True, Trinity! User Playable Internal Animations are serverside;
you cannot use them with NPCs but...

Because some animations are built into the viewer and npcs dont
use a viewer and perhaps for security reasons. Im not really
completely sure to be honest.
