[Opensim-dev] Documentation for IClientNetworkServer

Sat Apr 20 11:08:57 UTC 2013

Thank you for the links. I've seen the first one - it did gave me
sufficient introduction, but it is not detailed enough. Many messages are
only described by their structure, but not the meaning of each field, e.g. this
one <http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/ParcelAccessListUpdate> (what flags
can be set?) or this one
<http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/AgentHeightWidth> (what's
agent's client and width, gen counter?). This information can be found in
the code and I have compiled a short description for a few messages:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtS8km6a08YmdGZUS0FINkhibGZ1U2RVZnJSSXMzZ1E&usp=sharing

The second one seems like a guide for developing scripts in-world, while I
am currently looking into writing an alternative protocol for client-server
communication. I have some plans to work on scripting APIs too, so it will
be useful for me at some point in the future.
