Actually.... That leads to an interesting idea.... Maybe something in estate powers could be added for "Allow Avatar Indicators On Map/Minimap". (o.o)

/me checks the Jira. (>_>;)

Found it... Maybe we could post a link and request votes for it in other RP forums. (o.o)

I think that would be a great idea for green dots to be turned off and on. Maybe make it something only an island manager could change.

I guess it's a Jira already. Why do they make it so hard to find the vote link? Someone should Jira that.

That's easy enough to accomplish today already: have everyone to use the Restrained Life Viewer and have that wear an attachment that turns off the minimap (and possibly the map) when they're on the sim and anyone without the RL viewer or the script gets bumped.

Added perk is that RP griefers on that sim could be stripped naked before getting tp'ed home :p.

---

It wouldn't be too difficult to script something that works like the minimap does, or create a viewer that doesn't care about the flag, or the high chance that it would be overriden by "View Admin Options" making the restriction as pointless as turning off flying.

I admit i'm a bit out of the loop with the fancy gadgets these days... but how can you detect what viewer someone is using w/o server-side tools? As far as i was aware, HTTP Environment variables only ping the grid type (production, etc).

For the more technically minded - the problem is actually NOT the asset server (or 'asshat' as you prefer to affectionately call it herein).

The Restrained Life viewer will respond to a "@version" (without the quotes) IM (be it a scripted IM or a regular IM).

In the example the script would just llOwnerSay "@version" and wait for a response back to identify the viewer (no response means no RL viewer) and something in the sim would ping the attachment (or the other way around) and decide whether they can stay or get bumped out for not using either the viewer or the attachment that tells the RL viewer to disable the minimap/map while on the sim.
