Myriad Lite

This space allows me to release at-whim snapshots of various parts of the Myriad Lite development as I go, for testing and feedback by live users.

I will change this page as needed as I put various pieces together and all changes available here will roll up in the next Preview Release.

This page will be wiped out and started fresh each preview release.

Scripts I post here generally compile and run on OpenSim and OSgrid, but may not have ever been ported to SecondLife.

Scripts I post here generally are checked with lslint before posting, but might not always be.

FIRST

BEFORE YOU CAN USE THE SCRIPTS AND ADD-ONS ON THIS DEV PAGE

YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND ASSEMBLE

> > > Myriad Lite Preview 5 < < <

The dev scripts and notes below replace parts of Preview 5, but you need the rest of the system which is not fully linked below.

Recent Updates

Servers

Region CSV

The CSV server contains a number of tables used for the character builder in comma-separated values (CSV) format.

The Preview 5 equipment CSV table was missing a number of Resource Point (RP) costs for items.

I have calculated those and entered them into an updated table here:

Rumors

The Rumor system is intended to allow regions to offer a way for players to start anonymous, but moderated, in character rumors for all other players to find through NPCs or quests.

The Rumor System comes in two parts - a standalone server script with a notecard of "starting" or "seed" rumors that the region admin

The second part is a Myriad Lite HUD module that provides the interface for the player to the rumor server.

A better interface is planned, as well as integration with NPCs and quests.

The Rumor Server has also been upgraded from my prototype versions to allow the owner's objects (like BAM quest goals) to add pre-approved rumors.

HUD

Have recoded all of the link message handling to allow all module scripts to be in the root prim again without endless reflections.

Armor

Below is a snapshot of the improved armor code I've been working on to handle power armor better and provide more hooks for armor developers to trigger their own scripted special effects on armor-related events.

Feel free to use the discussion page to ask questions or make comments.

Using The Rumor System

Players

  • /5 RUMOR_GET - get a rumor
  • /5 RUMOR_PUT|some rumor text - add a rumor to the system, requires approval by region admin

Admins

  • /5 RUMOR_MAIN - show the admin main menu
  • /5 RUMOR_LIST - list currently active rumors
  • /5 RUMOR_MODERATE - moderate the list of pending rumors
  • /5 RUMOR_RESET - reset the entire rumor system back to seed rumors only

Using the Character Sheet Module

I've started adding multi-character support to the character sheet module.

When you enter a region or reset - you will get a drop down menu asking for which character you want to load.

There is a default option to load the hardcoded character sheet by name.

Or, you can create custom character sheet notecards by region named: 

 charactername@regionname

You can have up to 11 characters per region (plus default) to pick from the menu.

I plan on adding estate support to the region settings server so you can use the same characters across an estate of regions easier, since LSL and OSSL do not support programmatically finding the current grid or estate names.

More development to do in this space, but this should get people started.
