Note! Article applies to developers using Visual Studio on 64-bit Windows. Visual Studio is a great tool. Most developers who can use it should. Currently OpenSim has some problems with 64-bit mode. This is because we have some native .dll’s and .so’s such as: SQlite ODE OpenJpeg + more SQLite you can do without by … Read more
3Di have provided us with some new fancy features being added to OpenSim over the next few days. Region splittingAllows multiple physical computers to cooperate on maintaining one region. This is good for scenarios where you would want a large amount of people in the same region (think large events). OpenSim has already proven the … Read more
A few months ago we decided to make a distinction between SL’s LSL2 and our own LSL implementation. This mainly because we were planning to add new features to the language. But also to make people understand that the compatibility may not be 100% – at least not for some time into the future. One … Read more
I have moved most of the code from OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.DotNetEngine to OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Common. Right now we have only one ScriptEngine, and its purpose is to emulate a Second Life script engine by executing scripts put into prims. But in the future I expect different kinds of script engines such as controllers that manipulate in-world game rules or … Read more
I have added a whole lot of detailed config options in OpenSim.ini.example that can be used to control DotNetEngine. Many of these are specific to Common, some are specific to DotNetEngine. You can now control a lot of detailed stuff that you usually wouldn’t care about. The reason why these options are there now is … Read more
ScriptServer is “almost done”. Meaning it is capable of doing everything except communicating from a script to OpenSim. For this I need to abstract the layer between llFunction() and the actual implementation. Which already is in part done.However ScriptServer has not been a priority lately. For those who dont know the difference: ScriptEngine is a … Read more
I just wrote this contribution to AWG: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Tedds_stand-alone_script_engine It explains how and why on my opinions on the future script engine implementation.
This is where my planning is at now.It was very complex, and after redrawing it a few times I neded up at this.Still not 100%, but getting there…
I have been doing some thinking on the ScriptEngine. Actually a whole lot of thinking, and planning. Lots of alien squid-like drawings in my notebook. Trying to run through the process: Idea, required elements, architecture and finally simplification. The idea is simply: Moving ScriptEngine to a separate daemon, independent from the region.This has several big … Read more
ScriptEngine supports both LSL and C# within the same script. Mainly this means that you can write LSL, but when you want you can use C# code. For example instead of using llToLower(mystring) you can use mystring.ToLower(), instead of llStringLength(mystring) you can use mystring.Length(). But to make sure that we support pure C# code, I’ve … Read more
