== How to use scripts in OpenSim ==

Have a look at the [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal LSL wiki] to learn LSL. 
The current procedure to get a script working in OpenSim is:
* Create a new script in inventory. (Inventory -> Create -> New Script)
* Write whatever script you want there, or copy the script contents of another script in the pre-existing OpenSim library. Check [[LSL Status]] for what commands that are supported.
* Drag the script over to the contents of an object.
* Delete the script from the object to deactivate script.
 
There are still some defects:
* Line numbers in error messages may miss by 1 or 2 lines.

== About OpenSim scripting ==
An important ingredience in Second Life is scripting. It is the engine that drives it all. 
In SL [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal LSL (Linden Scripting Language)] is the language you have to use. This language has its limitations, and is executed very slowly. But nevertheless it works and it gets the job done. 
 
Linden Labs are planning to move LSL scripting over to C# on Mono some time in the future. This has been in the works since 2005 at least. There are many technical challenges related to this. 
 
OpenSim today supports LSL and C# scripts. But with limitations: 
* Not all commands and events have been implemented. See [[LSL Status]] for details on what commands work and which don't.
* Scripts that are running cannot cross region borders.
* You cannot use loops inside your scripts. Actually you can use loops, but it will block other scripts from executing.
 
The OpenSim script engine compiles the LSL code down to .Net code that is JIT'ed to CPU native code. In effect this means that a LSL script in OpenSim should run faster than in Second Life. 
 
Stability and security: see [[Script Execution Sandbox]].

== How to contribute ==
The ScriptEngine is being developed by many developers. 
New developers are always welcome. If you want to contribute, even just a tiny little bit, have a look at the [[OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine]] page. There is a lot of developer activity on IRC ([[Contact us]]), feel free to drop in.

Roadmap

2008-02-17T17:54:00Z

Ezekiel: /* Future */

The big massive to do list. Will start to try to put up content in reasonable order here.

== Current Version 0.5 (SVN3172)==
* Database
** <strike>Enable mysql for storing assets</strike> '''done''' (When?)
** <strike>Enable mysql for inventory</strike> '''done''' (When?)
* Grid Mode
** <strike>Asset Server, using a primitive asset format</strike> '''done''' (When?)
** <strike>Inventory Server</strike> '''done''' (When?)

== 0.6 Proposed ==

* Database
** NHibernate (if possible. This unifies a lot of the data paths and there is some sample NHibernate code on the list)
** Persistance for AV Appear across Sim Reboots (partial implementation by MW already)

* Scripting
** Complete LSL functions (~ 30% now)
** Script engine base improvements

* Grid Mode
** OGS2 REST protocol (we've been kicking this around for a while, perhaps 0.6 is the right time for it?)

* Physics
** Hollow and Cut Prims support (need to write for 20 prim types)

* Canned Assets
** Clothes
** Bodies
** Prim Objects
** Animations
** Textures

* Profile
** Would like to write a Profile Module interface that lets you backend the profile pane to various different directory services (sdague)

In Progress - n/a

== Future ==
see [[OpenSim:Future_Release_Discussion]].

== Uncategorized ==

* Physics
** BulletX work

OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.DotNetEngine

2008-02-11T22:05:09Z

Ezekiel: /* How it works */

== DotNetEngine ==

Namespace: OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.DotNetEngine

DotNetEngine is a ScriptEngine that executes LSL scripts contained within objects. 
Core development blog: [http://teddmaa.blogspot.com] 

To look at the LSL command implementation status, go to [[LSL Status]].

----
===How it works===
* Create instance of ScriptEngine(scene). 
* ScriptEngine will create instances of: 
EventManager
EventQueueManager
ScriptManager
AppDomainManager
LSLLongCmdHandler
* EventManager will hook up all necessary events. (all possible script events, script rez, script derez, etc) 
* When events are received, they are processed inside EventManager. 
For example:
Event for loading a script will be processed and EventManager will tell ScriptManager to load the script.
Event such as touch_start is received in EventManager then sent to EventQueueManager that will tell SCriptManager to execute the
touch_start function in the script.
Note! If event is for a particular object, EventQueueManager will queue event for all scripts inside that object. 
* If it is a script rez then OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.DotNetEngine.Compiler.LSL will compile the script to .Net Assembly. 
* This assembly is loaded into an AppDomain created by AppDomainManager. 
* EventQueueManager has a separate thread running to process its event queue. Events are actually functions inside the script .dll that is called "<state>_event_<event_name>" for example "default_event_touch_start". State is read from a global variable in the script .dll. 
* Some commands require more time before returning, processing these is done in LSLLongCmdHandler. 
* Every script receives a private instance of LSL_BuiltIn_Commands. This is their only way of manipulating anything outside themselves. 

----

===Places to extend script support===
* LSL_BuiltIn_Commands.cs
These are the functions script can use to manipulate the scene. Commonly known as ll-functions. They are LSL functions such as llSay, llWhisper, etc. [[LSL Status]] contains up to date status on what functions have been implemented. Anyone who wants to contribute can implement a command and put a patch on the [http://www.opensimulator.org/mantis bug tracker}.
* EventManager.cs
This is where events are coming from server and being queued for scripts. All 16 or so LSL events needs to be implemented here.

This image is a bit (not much) outdated, but gives you an idea of the path script events/functions go through.

| align="center" valign="bottom" |
| align="center" valign="bottom" |
| align="center" valign="bottom" |
| valign="bottom" | Since the implementation of a currency is not part of the OpenSim project, the money event should allow for either in-world or off-world payments. For in-world payments, the event should be triggered when a resident has paid an amount. For off-world payments, it should signify that a resident wants to buy an item or pay an amount rather than the completion of a payment. The actual payment should then be initiated either through a plugin or an external process (e.g. via a website). Therefore, the money event needs an optional third parameter that specifies if the payment was internal or external. Alternatively, an additional event could be created (e.g. 'payment_request') for external payments. See [[Money]] for details - Ezekiel.

| valign="bottom" | Since the implementation of a currency is not part of the OpenSim project, the money event should allow for either in-world or off-world payments. For in-world payments, the event should be triggered when a resident has paid an amount. For off-world payments, it should signify that a resident wants to buy an item or pay an amount rather than the completion of a payment. The actual payment should then be initiated either through a plugin or an external process (e.g. via a website). Therefore, the money event needs an optional third parameter that specifies if the payment was internal or external. Alternatively, an additional event could be created (e.g. 'payment-request') for external payments. See [[Money]] for details - Ezekiel.

__NOTOC__
The OpenSimulator Project is a BSD Licensed Open Source Application Platform which can be used for creating immersive 3D Virtual Interactive Environments such as a Virtual world. Out of the box, the OpenSim can be used to create a Second Life like environment, able to run in a standalone mode or connected to other OpenSim instances through built in grid technology. It can also easily be extended to produce more specialized 3D interactive applications.

OpenSim is written in [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm C#], and can run under [http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page Mono] or the [http://www.microsoft.com/net/ Microsoft .NET] runtimes. Due to its open source and modular nature it is possible to extend function yourself via plugin modules to suit your application.

OpenSim is currently in the alpha development stage, with active testing of SVN trunk versions encouraged. Please read our [[Contributions_Policy]] before contributing, and to learn what OpenSim's values are.

Scripting About

2008-01-28T10:54:50Z

Ezekiel: /* How to contribute */

== How to use scripts in OpenSim ==

Have a look at the [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal LSL wiki] to learn LSL. 
The current procedure to get a script working in OpenSim is:
* Create a new script in inventory. (Inventory -> Create -> New Script)
* Write whatever script you want there, or copy the script contents of another script in the pre-existing OpenSim library. Check [[LSL Status]] for what commands that are supported.
* Drag the script over to the contents of an object.
* Delete the script from the object to deactivate script.
 
There are still some defects:
* You can not edit script while it is inside object.
* When restarting OpenSim server scripts are lost and not started.
* Line numbers in error messages may miss by 1 or 2 lines.

== About OpenSim scripting ==
An important ingredience in Second Life is scripting. It is the engine that drives it all. 
In SL [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal LSL (Linden Scripting Language)] is the language you have to use. This language has its limitations, and is executed very slowly. But nevertheless it works and it gets the job done. 
 
Linden Labs are planning to move LSL scripting over to C# on Mono some time in the future. This has been in the works since 2005 at least. There are many difficult technical challenges related to this. 
 
OpenSim supports LSL and C# scripts. But with limitations: 
* Not all commands and events has been implemented. See [[LSL Status]] for details on what commands work and not.
* Scripts that are running can not cross regions.
* You can not use loops inside your scripts. Actually you can use loops, but it will block other scripts from executing.
 
The OpenSim script engine compiles the LSL code down to .Net code that is JIT'ed to CPU native code. In effect this means that a LSL script in OpenSim should run faster than in Second Life. 
 

== How to contribute ==
The ScriptEngine is being developed by many developers. 
New developers are always welcome. If you want to contribute, even just a tiny little bit, have a look at the [[OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine]] page. There is a lot of developer activity on IRC ([[Contact us]]), feel free to drop in. 
A blog with development status can be found at [http://teddmaa.blogspot.com/ http://teddmaa.blogspot.com/].

OpenSimulator:0.5 Release Target Discussion

2008-01-28T10:41:21Z

Ezekiel: /* Planet Mode */

==Suggested Goals==

== Bug Fixes ==

* Make prim unlinking work. Done
* Intra & inter region teleporting
* Complete avatar customization
* Complete connection of script editor to allow editing a prim directly

== Physics==

* Support for at least one physics engine with basic collision detection '''Done'''

* looks like hollow prims and some other simple shapes may be possible '''Done'''

* ODE is furthest along at this point. Issues include overall stability and lack of multithreading

* BulletX is being worked on

* New physics interface design? (event driven)

==New Backend Protocol (OGS 2)==

 

==Restructure and Normalize code==
* We should follow 'one dir, one assembly'
* We should follow 'dir == assembly == namespace'
* OpenSim.Framework should not be OpenSim/Framework/General - the whole namespace needs normalization.
* The OpenSimMain and RegionApplicationBase should be renamed (ConfigurableSimulator and SimulatorBase) and moved to a more suitable assembly.
 

== As part of the new protocol, overhaul the "commsmanager"==

*A lot of the functions currently in there, needs moving out. Like most of the Caps handling needs to be moved to the backend servers (possible with a dedicated Caps Manager server, like LL seem to have).

*Inventory handling should move to a module. As should Xfer uploads.

== Rewrite Asset Cache/Server==

 

== Improve the management of client updates==

* Use a "interest list" for each connected client, so they only get updated about prims/objects that are in range (or they need to know about).

* Combine objects (parts) into single packets, rather than sending a separate packet for each prim as currently happens.

== Finish implementing the ll functions for scripting. ==

 

== Improve UDP network code (ClientStack) ==

 

== Clean up the IClientAPI interface ==

 

== Start to think more about security ? (most likely will not happen until a later version)==

* Add security sinks in the "region to region" .Net remoting process.

* Check for security holes in scripting engine.

== Tighter integration of DataStore into the core ==

'''Suggestion''' : Code persistence logic code duplication in current OpenSim.Framework.Data.* could be avoided using ADO.NET base classes (DbCommand, DbConnection, DbDataAdapter... see System.Data.Common) in a common core for all existing database engine. A tiny library that is specific to a database engine could create typed version of these objects (createConnection, createCommand, createDataAdapter...). Theses "tiny library" would use the same interface (ie: DBEngine) and would have the responsibility to handle tricks as SQL syntax differences as TOP vs LIMIT, SQL Parameters naming, SQL specific types...
 

== Planet Mode ==
One on the shortcomings of the grid model is that it is a "Flat Earth" approach. By doing little more modifying OpenSim to (optionally) connect the northern edge of the topmost region to the southern edge of the bottom region and a similar mod for the east and western edges and we have effectively brought together any group of contiguous regions within a grid and created a planet. If you keep walking/flying long enough you would eventually (or very quickly - the more sims the larger the planet) arrive back at your point of origin.

Try this - take a map of your sim and apply it as a texture to a sphere - see what I mean?

The analogy can also be extended further, a sandalone sim becomes a Planetary System Server, a grid server becomes Star System Server and a new level could be added to link Grids - The Galaxy Server but I am thinking the info DNS provides may already have that covered.

I now invite the community to debate the concept further - are we a "Flat Earth" or a "Planetary System" with galactic potential?

Not to pick nits, but connecting N/S and E/W edges of a plane doesn't give you a sphere. It gives you a torus. The image we have here is a universe of doughnut shaped grids floating in space.... Mmmm donuts (it is still a pretty cool idea)

Lamont
 

I think we need a section for suggestions to new features (Done, see [[Opensim: Future Release Discussion]]) and a section for what will be part of the next release.

Would like to see planet mode considered early in the project. This is essential for accurate representation of "real world" versus the "fantasy world" (but could also be used in fantasy world as well). One of the team members did some work looking at the healpix project as a possible solution. http://healpix.jpl.nasa.gov/

Nink
 

I have always wanted to see a grid where you could have regions not only to the north, south, east west of a region but also above and below. This would enable space above for orbiting space stations and the like and depth below for underwater worlds and tunnels.

== Parcel Media Settings ==
The multimedia functions in OpenSim create an awesome environment for presenting an enormous range of material. Whilst the parcel media settings can be set they do not persist between sessions.

''This page is always under construction and perpetually being updated, don't consider the info here to be 100% dead on.''
''If you find a feature that works that is not listed as "working" here.''
''Please fully test it out and update it here or make a note that it is working and ready to be tested, if you can't test it.''

* Some notes on converting [[LSL:PrimitiveParams]] to OpenSim PrimitiveBaseShape
* Currently LSL is in a state of uncertainty based off the recent LibSL fiasco.
* Once that is smoothed out, all LSL that previously tested fine, will be retested.

Ezekiel: /* Client vs. Bug report issues lately */

[[Image:opensim_avatar.png|right]]

OpenSim is a BSD Licensed Open Source project to develop a functioning virtual worlds server platform capable of supporting multiple clients and servers in a heterogeneous grid structure. OpenSim is written in [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm C#], and can run under [http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page Mono] or the [http://www.microsoft.com/net/ Microsoft .NET] runtimes.

== Latest News ==

==Custom osFunction Ideas wanted==

* OpenSim's own scripting team is accepting ideas/requests/wishlists for custom functions. [[LSL_osFunctions]]

==Client vs. Bug report issues lately==

Please,
*If you plan to bug report.
*If you talk about bugs in IRC.
*If you have things that hurt the experience you have in OpenSim.
use the preferred client version.

We are using the secondlife official 1.18.5.3 client on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows so as to unify the issues and make it easier to narrow down bugs.

=== IRC move ===

We are in the process of moving the IRC channel we use (#opensim) from EFNET to Freenode. If you can't find us on EFNET, get yourself over to Freenode! (There's also an #opensim-dev channel, also on Freenode, for those who are interested in digging into the guts of the code.)

=== Features ===
There's a newly set up [[OpenSim: Features|OpenSim features list]] that lists key, and notable, features.

=== OpenSim 0.4.5 Released! ===

The OpenSim team is happy to announce the first alpha release of OpenSim, version 0.4.5. This release focuses on stand-alone mode (with one or more regions). Some stuff works, a lot doesn't. If it breaks, you get to keep '''both''' pieces.

Stuff that works:
* standalone mode with one or more regions
* basic physics (no object collisions)
* persistence of users, prims, assets, and inventory via [http://www.sqlite.org/ sqlite]
* basic building, custom-texture uploads
* avatar editing
* See [[OpenSim: Testing]]

More advanced physics, in-world scripting, grid mode, and support for other database backends are not supported in this release, though they may work from time-to-time before crashing with an earth-shattering kaboom! All of these are under active development, and are being worked on for the 0.5.0 release.

Source distributions in both .tar.gz and .zip can be found at the [http://dist.opensimulator.org/ OpenSim Downloads site].

== Participating in the OpenSim Community ==

OpenSim is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open source] project. This means that it is developed by anyone who wants to participate. This could be you! We welcome testers and developers alike. Please see the [[Contributions Policy]] for more details.

If you ''need help'' or ''want to help'' the best way to get in touch is [[IRC]] (chat network). There is a lot of activity there every day.

=== Getting online ===
There are several public grids and several standalone arrays running 24/7. For the casual user as well as those who want to run their own public regions, there is a list of available sims at [[OpenSim: Grids]]. Most of these grids have representation on the #opensim chat channel for asking and answering questions.

The OpenSim developers hold [[office hours]] once a week in-world on Tuesdays at "Wright Plaza" on OSGrid.

There is a "Test Hour" on Saturdays, also generally on "Wright Plaza". Both these weekly events are held at 11:00AM PST or 1900UTC.

Again, check on the #opensim IRC channel on Freenode just before each of these events if there is any confusion.

=== IRC ===
IRC on FreeNode, channel #OpenSim. Download an IRC client like [http://www.xchat.org/ X-Chat] (or [http://www.silverex.org/ here] for Windows) and go to FreeNode (server irc.freenode.net), channel #OpenSim.
If you have Firefox, you can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/16 Chatzilla] IRC client (In the menu, Tools > Chatzilla).
If you already have an IRC client installed you can just follow [irc://irc.freenode.net/OpenSim this link].

*Server: irc.freenode.net
*Channel: #opensim
