· The Manor allows you to explore the new effects through scripting using Python, a powerful open-source programming language. - If you want to explore new effects and get "hands-on" with your avatars or your Manor chat software, scripting is available using Python, an extremely powerful open-source programming language.
· With Security Features and Integration Technologies - In addition to Python scripting, The Manor software incorporates PHP and HTTP linking capabilities that allow integration with other information sources. The software also has many security features, including a 128-bit encrypted data stream, username and password protection for accessing a private Manor server, and DOS attack protection.
