I disagree. The proper way to implement multiattach is to recognize a list and render them all.. everyone that was using Emeralds ugly hack needs a backwards compatible kludge that isnt ever going to be forwards compatible. So to equip viewer 2 with the kludgy emerald attachment points would be to bake the kludge into the mainstream and we dont want that. I would suggest instead the following user story... "As a user who has become familiar with the TPV extensions to avatar_lad.xml I want the official viewer to recognize those "hacked" additions and silently convert them to multiattach-compatible additions to the attachment list on the appropriate point." _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
