[Opensim-dev] MRM Loader

[Stefan Andersson]

Mike,

 

massive bigups for the mrml, and phat kudos on the blog post! :D


By the way, what is the current state of affairs for the dotnetengine vs xengine? I'm perfectly aware of the differences and whys of having two engines, but is the dotnetengine even used or maintained anymore?

 

Is there a degree of abstraction that can be attained so as to fuse them into one configurable LSL Script Engine?


Best regards,
Stefan Andersson

In response to some questions I've received, I created a blog post that explains how MRM Loader fits into the OpenSim programmability picture, along with DotNetEngine, XEngine, MRM Scripts, and Region Modules.

Hello, I would like to call your attention to a new forge project: MRM Loader. 
 

MRM Loader is an experimental package based application model for virtual world content. Packages will contain assemblies, textures, prims, and all the other assets necessary to fully describe and implement a house, vehicle, attachment, etc. They will be downloaded from web sites and run by Open‍Sim.

MRM Loader also allows MRM code to be edited, compiled, and debugged using Visual C# Express, all without restarting Open‍Sim.


MRM Loader provides a region model that looks for scripts that contain "//MRM:Loader {package-path}" and loads the indicated MRM package into an application domain created just for it. The region module unloads these application domains when the script is removed. Only package paths that identify a directory on the local machine are currently supported. All of an MRM's assemblies are loaded from this directory.

MRM Loader extends Adam's MRM infrastructure. The MRM region module must enabled in order to use MRM Loader functionality. It is also currently necessary to apply a patch to MRM module before it can be used with MRM Loader (mantis).

See this thread for instructions.
Thanks,
