This is not used for anything - appearances are always properties of objects with ids (ScenePresence, AgentCircuitData) and just has the potential to get out of sync when the appearance is cloned.
This is to accomodate situations where the authorization service is being used by the hypergrid, where visitors have no user account.
See http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5517, this code is somewhat adapted/cleaned up from Michelle's patch
I'm a little ambivalent about this since visitors could put anything in firstname/lastname so it's not much of an auth measure.
It's up to the auth service to decide which data it actually uses.
Possibly we should be passing through other info such as agent circuit ip
From pure code inspection, it looks like the uuid gatherer may get most asset uuids because the scene object serializer naively pulls non-root parts from all contained scene objects into one mega-object. However, root part uuids may well still be missing, and there may be other odd artifacts from this bug.
It appears that storing the size of the coalescence and the offsets is redundant, since one can work out this information from the position data already in the scene object groups.
This will cause visual params to be persisted along with worn items. With
this, alpha and tattoo laters will be saved. Multiple layers MAY work, but
not tested because I don't use Viewer 2.
It contains a major interface version bump and will NOT work with earlier grid
services. This is preliminary work that will lead to layers support.
Rest appearance services are commented out completely, they will have to be
adapted by someone who actually uses them. Remote admin is working, but has
no layers support. There is no layers support in the database. Login likely
won't work. You have been warned.
The attachment code appears to work correctly for 1.23 viewers so, in
spite of some big changes in the internal representation, there don't
appear to be regressions. That being said, I still can't get a viewer2
avatar to show correctly.
AvatarService -- add two new methods, GetAppearance and SetAppearance
to get around the lossy encoding in AvatarData. Preseve the old
functions to avoid changing the behavior for ROBUST services.
AvatarAppearance -- major refactor, moved the various encoding
methods used by AgentCircuitData, ClientAgentUpdate and
ScenePresence into one location. Changed initialization.
AvatarAttachments -- added a class specifically to handle
attachments in preparation for additional functionality
that will be needed for viewer 2.
AvatarFactory -- removed a number of unused or methods duplicated
in other locations. Moved in all appearance event handling from
ScenePresence. Required a change to IClientAPI that propogated
throughout all the IClientAPI implementations.
This was a regression - the code to look up the correct type folder was no longer being called if items were added without a parent folder set
This may have been broken since commit bd49985a on 2010-05-02
