Hi there,

using XML-RPC, or some other fancy method, would it be possible to create a NOTECARD out of world and send it in world?

Simple answer:

No. There is no way via script to write to or otherwise create notecards, no matter where the data for them originates from.

Non-obvious answer:

Since the client is open-source, you *could* create a client which programmatically uploaded notecards from out-world (or even in-world), but that's really a lot of work, and would require your "bot" client to stay logged in a lot if it were a constant thing.

As Talarus states there is no way of creating a 'real' notecard via script.
Depending upon what you require you could fake it using HTTP,RPC or even Email.
The user would not be able to physically open it as a notecard, but you could dump the received data to chat, or use the contents in a script.
What are you trying to use it for?

Thanks for your reply,

I am an educator, so, I thought it would be great, if I could make assignments using moodle, and then have those assignments appear as notecards and be delivered to my students in-world.

... i guess ill have to wait awhile before this ripple sees its wave!

thanks again

Hmm, it is VERY unlikely that SL will ever allow the creation of notecards from within LSL.
