SL: Scripted scanners can scan a whole region

Update: Released!!

With new simulator software (12.04.30+) from LL a script will, from May 8th, be able to scan a whole region for avatars with one command (llGetAgentList).

The PDS HomeSecurity Orb will be moving from the old method (llSensorRepeat) to this new method for Version 13.

This means the Orb will have the old range functionality and the new ability to have ranges of:

• “ThisLand” only this land parcel will be monitored.
• “LandOwner’s” any land, in the region, owned by the current land owner will be monitored.
• “Region” the whole region will be monitored.
• Also valid scan ranges will be unlimited but restricted to the region.

Names and Memory usage: (13.011+)

• The Orb now checks used memory and adds names if enough memory exists.
• Targets/Guests count tests: 275 x 30 character names, 375 x 20 character names, 430 x 15 character names
• and 60+ ops
• new commands: /8delop (delete all ops) and /8delnr (delete all network relays)

Other Land Safe, Foreign Land Safe, Up and Down settings will still be honoured with these new ranges.
