Hello brilliant scripters! I've dug around the forums here for an answer to this, but cannot find one. Why is it that the avatar keys listed in the name.cache file are different than those provided by, for example, llDetectedKey()? Is there a hash or algorithm to provide the 'right' key from the data in name.cache? I know there is another number in there, most likely the 'born on' date. Are these two numbers used to create the avatar keys used in the client? And no, before anyone accuses me, I am not going to use this to spam anyone. I've noticed this difference for a while and am curious as to what is going on. Thanks!

These keys are not the "asset" keys, unique to each account and non-changing, they are session keys, renewed every time you log in (and teleport ?). Unique key => account Session key => avatar

They can be translated back to asset keys. You can do that right here: http://www.ulrikasheim.org/tools/name2key.html

They are just XOR'ed with 33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333.

From: Strife Onizuka They are just XOR'ed with 33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333. Ahh, I figured it was a simple system like that. Thanks a ton Strife!
