Hi,
Up to a few days ago, llGetTexture works in an object that is NOT in inventory. Now, any attempt to use llGetTexture returns a NULL_KEY, even if there *is* a texture on the prim surface. And yes, I've got the right integer number for the surface too (checked through all surfaces to make sure).
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!

This was an undocumented change - inless the object has full perms - mod/copy/trans - you can't get the key.

This was an undocumented change - inless the object has full perms - mod/copy/trans - you can't get the key. It wasn't quite an undocumented change. It was my understanding that this was the intended behaviour of llGetTexture all along, that one could only get it if the texture was full-perms. Recent events though caused it to come to light that there were ways to get the UUID of a texture one did not have full rights to. Once the flaw was identified, the Lindens rapidly put out a patch to close the hole. - Newfie _____________________

llGetTexture() no longer returns keys of textures in non full perms objects
llGetPrimitiveParams() has the same effect. Don't try to solve with using textures in inventory: llInventoryKey() will no longer return texture keys of non full perms textures in inventory. Basically this only leaves hardcoding ALL texture changes. So much for clean code or flexibility.  _____________________

Oh this also means that data can no longer be perminantly stored on prim faces, because it is inexcessible. Great just what we need WOM (Write Only Memory).
One step forward, two steps back. _____________________
