[Opensim-users] llOpenRemoteDataChannel

[Clive Gould]

Hi

Thanks for the replies.

How do I modify a script so that it sends the calls to the region's
remote data port on 20800 instead of a central service?

llOpenRemoteDataChannel(); does not appear to accept any parameters
according to the SL Wiki.

The relevant code excerpts from my working SL script are below:

 state_entry()
    {
        llOpenRemoteDataChannel();
    }


    remote_data(integer type, key channel, key message_id, string
sender, integer ival, string sval)
    {
         if (type == REMOTE_DATA_CHANNEL)
         {
             string data = "lslkey=" + (string)channel + "&" +
"objectkey=" + ObjectKey + "&" + "region=" + Region + ":" + Position;
             key http =
llHTTPRequest("http://cd.bromley.ac.uk/clive/register.php?" +
data,[HTTP_METHOD,"GET"],"");
          }
         if (type == REMOTE_DATA_REQUEST)
         {
            llRemoteDataReply(channel,NULL_KEY,AviString,AviNumber);
            SValue = sval;
         }

    }

Any help very much appreciated as I'd like to get this working so I
can use OpenSim instead of SL with my HE students.

Thanks :)

Clive
