Modern and Legacy Accounts
- Modern accounts are created by choosing a user name, which consists of one name (no spaces).
- Legacy accounts were created by choosing two names, first and last names. These two names are used together to form the user name.
To maintain compatibility with legacy scripts (that expect two names), modern accounts are given the legacy last name "Resident".
The default value of the Display Name depends upon the type of the account. For legacy accounts, it's the Legacy Name, for modern accounts, its the User Name.
<lsl>string LegacyToUserName(string legacy) {
list name = llParseString2List(legacy, [" "]);
if(llList2String(name, 1) == "Resident")//it's not a legacy account.
return llList2String(name, 0);//first name is username
return llToLower(llDumpList2String(name, "."));
}</lsl>
