<p class=MsoNormal>Hi guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been somewhat distracted lately getting ModRex up
and running that I haven’t had time to finish the conversion process I
started back in November from the IClientAPI interfaces to IClientCore ones. I
would like to see if we can get some additional people in writing patches to
add the new IClientCore interfaces.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The process is fairly simple, and I hope we can organise
some kind of effort ala the LSL-functions effort where a list is composed then
split up into discrete tasks that are more palletable to a community effort.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For those interested in the technical details of what needs
to be done – it’s a case of:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Phase 1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Find a group of functions and events in IClientAPI.cs
that are related (eg, Chat, Parcels, TerrainData, etc)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Create a new IClient<TYPE>.cs file (eg
IClientChat.cs) and cut and paste those functions and events into the new
interface.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Add “IClientType” to LLClientView.cs to
inherit from, and update the function at the bottom to Register the extra interface.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Rinse and Repeat until all functions have
IClient<TYPE>.cs’s.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Once we’ve added new interfaces for everything, it
becomes time to start porting over modules to use the newer interfaces<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Phase 2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Find references to IClientAPI and replace them with
IClientCore equivilents. There’s a page on the wiki (“<b>OpenSim
0.6 IClientAPI</b>”) which contains examples and an example howto.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyone (Charles?) feel like drawing up the list of items to
be ported and begin the work?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
