What is the avatar list format? I've attempted to copy the avatars file from a couple of worlds that share similar rwx avatars, but so far the browser doesn't read it no matter where I have put it. I placed a copy in my path root, in seqs and in avatars. I have tried both *.dat and *.yaml as plain text or zipped. So I need a starting place. I have the megapath avatars and seqs as a starting point. What will get me a couple of avatars working in the world?

We talked about this on Discord, the issue turned out to be that the object path server was not sending a Content-Type header and the VP client was refusing the file for that reason.

The file should be at avatars/avatars.yml on the object path. Example files can be found on other existing object paths, which should also be in your local VP cache folder if you visited a world.
