Hi guys. I wrote the script counter for Emerald (And now derivatives andwhoever else is using it). Basically what the code does is request the inventory of every prim of the selected object(s). However, 'brute forcing' probably sounds a little wrong here, as the requests the code does already -are- indeed throtteled. If you send uncapped floods of requests to the sim, the sim just stops responding to those requests as an internal protection that is already in place to prevent this. So, no need to worry that this is somehow overloading it. And yeah, requesting the inventory of all the prims was the only way to implement it, alas. A sim-side, faster method would be muchas awesome. --Chalice Yao _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
