That would definitely help for user (not trying to dead regions) as well as for the growing grids, that need to mark places reserved. e.g. I have no 10 real regions up in osgrid just to block the places for the hypergrid gateways. Cheers Ralf -- German opensim HowTo:

Just a bit of a day dream here, but for the sake of preventing users from becoming stranded on foreign grids / sims I wonder if it would be a good idea to make non-hypergrid sims accept and hold a hypergrid user's profile cache. That way as a user explores and pops around on a foreign grid /

Setting asset_database to local will store your assets in a .db sqlite database on your file system, and not in MySQL at all. If you run in grid mode, you should always set this to grid to avoid confusion unless you are connecting to someone else's grid and want your assets to be stored locally

Hrrm, do remember however that it still isn't 'secure' since the messages can be forged easily enough. It might be worth considering a proposal I fielded about 2 years back on this list for a semi-encrypted asset shell. It's pretty simple - we encrypt all assets on upload, and we can then

True, I'm not really going for security here, mostly going for 'possible'. As we edge closer and closer to a metaverse 'standard', the biggest thing keeping us from wide acceptance is our reliance on this idea of 100% trust with the region using it. We could use the RegionSecret for more

I believe the general concensus was to support all three (four?) asset server configs (internal, local, grid, hg(?)) but refactor the code paths. While I do understand the confusion, I have already shown how we could re-arrange the services so that we get a uniform set of interfaces -
