the WIKIs state them as different:
and when you activate the permissions in the building tool you will see that there are two entries one for base and one for owner |

In other words, except maybe for how the sim's implementation code handles the two masks, they might as well be the same? That's the only impression -I- get from the referenced articles.

Well, various information does indeed *say* that there is a distinction to be made, but every test that I can think of has MASK_BASE exactly equivalent to MASK_OWNER.
Maybe MASK_BASE is just a generalization artefact for future possible permissions enhancements. _____________________

MASK_BASE should be every available permission at the time of creation but it may be PERM_ALL,which includes ones not implemented yet,
on creation MASK_OWNER should match it, but on transfer, it is replaced with MASK_NEXT, which is why if it's transfered back you only get the permissions from next relative assumption on mask base, regardless it never changes, and on creation we assume that mask owner should match it allowing new permissions to be applied to old objects, rather than limiting new permissions to new objects: on creation mask base = perm all mask owner = perm all mask next = (can'te remember but we'll set it for all available) perm move, copy, trans, mod object gets transfered mask base = as above mask owner = move, copy, transfer, mod mask next = (lets assume this owner turns offf mod) move, copy, trans object is again transfered mask base is still the same owner = move copy trans _____________________

object gets transfered mask base = as above ... object is again transfered mask base is still the same Not according to http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=assetpermissions "The base permission mask contains the permissions that the object had when it was given to the CURRENT OWNER." (Emphasis added.) I don't know how you lose permissions after it is given to you. Maybe by rezzing it and then taking it back into inventory (which may change copy and transfer based on the permissions of its contents)? |

odd... could this be related to resue of the owner permisions for shared (not deeded) objects? or are those handled under group permissions....
I missed th article on lslwiki, sry. _____________________

just to bump this, could it be an artifact from the god mode / non -implementation of llSet*PermisionMask
