Would be best to have the AO server-based, to cut on roundtrip latency especially being from europe, and using script-based language to define how and when the animations should kick in.
Oh right, we got LSL. Why not improve LSL to make it more efficient? As an AO creator I'd like to have the "agent change" event: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR-10 And more than 64KB memory per script to cut on the significant amount of unnecessary overhead across multiple scripts: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3581 It's these more simple server-side fixes and improvements that would make client-side AOs unnecessary. - Nexii On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 6:49 AM, Tateru Nino <tateru.n...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think it would make more sense than overloading an existing item type > - but that's a server-side mechanics issue. > > The important thing would seem to be how to keep the current existant AO > user-experience at the viewer.
