CE0 dropped by! (Patreon)

A few days ago, the creator of OSA came back, and everyone working on OStim was able to chat with him. He said that he liked the OStim project, and he also shared a bunch of things with us.

He gave me all of his development files, which is several gigs worth of unfinished animations and icon templates. When/if we get an animator in the community, I will have them comb through these unfinished files and finish some and release them as OStim packs.

We also have permission to redistribute OSA's swf file. At this stage in OStim, that doesn't mean a ton, but it does mean we can fix and improve a few parts of OSA some time in the future.

Importantly, CE0 shared a ton of info about the rather cryptic XML animation structure with Prometheus. This will help the SL anim porting tool he's working on a ton. Speaking of said tool, it's getting closer to completion. It has taken a while but it is very advanced and thorough and it is definitely worth the wait.

Also, it turns out the reason CE0 left OSA was to work on a different project. He may or may not return in the future to do a few things, we'll see!
