[Opensim-users] Any plans on supporting the display of web

Wed Sep 16 15:31:15 UTC 2009

Folks have been using SLoodle off and on with OpenSim and on OSGrid for some months now. There have been some interesting building classes at "Sandbox Plaza" using SLoodle so I think it is fairly far along.

As far as OpenCroquet, I would encourage folks to find ways for us to interop between OpenSim and OpenCroquet. It would be really cool to be able to view an OpenCroquet space from a prim on an OpenSim region or ideally to be able to step through a gateway some time.

Sloodle project also has something similar. Initially that is
developed for Second Life (and I have not tested it in OpenSim), but cannot see
why it would not also work there.

The link to that project is here:

Daniel...

Glad to hear you are working on this.  I searched the OpenSim email
archives and only found one reference to Open Croquet (opencroquet.org).  Open Croquet is
another 3D world development environment.  The only reason I mention it is
because it says on their site they they support in-world web-browsing and I
thought you might get some ideas or inspiration by seeing what they've done
(without violating their licensing etc).  The in-world web browsing is
accomplished via a module called "Croquet Collaborative" (http://www.opencroquet.org/index.php/Croquet_Collaborative). 
Sadly the zip file link didn't work for me.

Anyways, I hope this helps some, without sending you on a wild goose
chase.  :-)

At the moment, I'm trying to "expand" the web
functionality of OpenSim by integrating a webbrowser control. With the help of
that control the user would be able to interact on a webpage displayed on a
texture by sending the coordinates of his mouse to that control. Furthermore,
an instance of the Internet Explorer running in the background could be used
with these coords to manage different user interactions like link forwarding or
editing form fields. As a result the updated webpage is rendered with the
IElementRenderer to a temporary image file that is send back to the texture in
OpenSim.

I know that this solution is limited in various ways (and is not compatible
with *nix servers) but it is one possibility to go apart from picidae.net and get independent.
For me, it is a first step to achieve a separate webbrowser control in OpenSim.
