This little thing can get a users profile picture and apply it to a prim. Its part of a much larger, more complex script that does some really kick ass things If i say so myself :)

Wait till you see the complete script ^_*
Its an API for people to easily get profile information. Example request would be

llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,REQ_NEW,llList2CSV([REQ_DISPLAY,REQ_PROFILE,REQ_AGE]),<someones key>;);

Can also do llName2Key and >>llKey2Name<< and because it directly interfaces with linden labs database, no need for w-hat. And no "No key found" messages, ever :)

Only up to a point. My Alts tell me - and they are very old Alts, so you can trust them :) - that only people with Payment Info show in the web search whojamaflip.

Nope, just double check 3 times with different people who have to payment info, works fine.

I belive that would be Mad Scientist (or MadBoy/MadGirl if you happen to be a http://GirlGenius.net/ fan)

Hey maybe you could strip that nice little part that does name to key out? or does it require another server to parse it? I'm sure several people would be happy to see that in use (although something tells me that SL will plug that hole for reasons I won't mention)

Hm... curious. If I have the avatar key and use: http://world.secondlife.com/resident/<avatar key> ...it does always work.

However, if I use: http://secondlife.com/app/search/search?q=<avatar name> ...it only returns avatars with payment info on file.

yeah pale atm, its like a pagerank sorting system. You'll notice some new av's show up at the bottom of the list for an exact search of your name instead of first, because LL is playing with ranking orders. ATM, no pay info people are worse then nothing, -1. The data is still there, they just don't bother showing it.

Will do it tomorrow, I've been awake the last 2 days, so I'll be sleeping like a baby for the next 12 hours. Later!

Very cunning idea! I imagine that parsing of this search data will be extremely useful for scripters in the future, as it basically gives us LSL access to the search system which we never had before (without a searchbot network etc).

This is a marvelous piece of code. Thanks for sharing it...

Code moved to its own post in 'Scripting Library': /54/1b/225692/1.html

This is a kinda fun & cool toy which would work well in a club or mall. It scans the area and randomly selects an AV. It then projects their profile picture as a 'holographic' image for a set time before randomly finding someone else.

All credit to Moriash Moreau, Jana Kamachi and Solar Alter for supplying the core code and providing the inspiration on this cold UK Sunday morning...

Some code still needs to be added for where a AV doesn't have a profile picture, but am working on that...




I thought it maybe was showing my personality till I realized my alt didn't have a profile picture...

Does it use search_proxy.php?s=People or something else? I made w-hat.com/name2key use the search as a backup and so far it's 100% misses.

If it does use the search, you can opt out by unchecking the box in the profile window.

wrong hole, I meant the exposed av key... I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader how that info might be abused by an outside source... and why LL wouldn't want that...

You can get event information ( doesn't use a key, uses progressive integers, just keep going from 0 ) and everything thats available in any way on the SL search function through these sites.

The way they sort is totally F* up. Personally I think agents should always be displayed first, even with no parameters. Yes, an example is:
http://secondlife.com/app/search/search?q=Jcool410%20Wildcat&s=People
But on the searches I've done, it seems to work fine.

edit: I can't stand this forum, look on the wiki page for the script for my reply

Yeah but some people just don't come up.

Ex: http://secondlife.com/app/search/search?q=Operating+Thetan&s=People

I am not sure I know what you're talking about, but if you uncheck "Show in Search" you (presumably) don't come up in the results at all, so it can't be used to discover your key.

edit: ok, I guess some people show "This resident has chosen to hide their profile from search" and some people just aren't in the results. I have no idea.

Hidden profiles appear in search, lookup Jana Kamachi. You can still get their key, just not their profile page. People without payment info show up, and he has payment info in any case.
His profile page is directly accessible. He just doesn't exist in search? This may be a bug, should prbly report it.

Definitely buggy. My crash test dummy; ILove Frankfurter(no payment info) shows up in People Search but doesn't using the search box or the script. Guess google still needs to do some work

I'm fairly certain it isn't google doing the backend search engine. These pages are hosted on amazonS3, who has their own search api. Google = Insane $$.

Been a long time since I looked at the viewer code but they may be using the freely available google AJAX seach API. I do know the map search was changed from thier own home brew to Google maps API. I'll ask on sldev.
