hey all,

since my last stupid question a couple of month ago about listners, i ran into something abit more challanging :)


i`m looking for an script wich can do this:

update scripts in an rezzed prim (not attached) by version number on command after a new version has been added to the update prim

bit more explained:
i want to start selling commen used products but as an extra offer complete updates wich also includes allready rezzed scripted prims update so u don`t have to tear down everything and unpack the new version

this is also for building projects so i can have say 100 scripted objects but only have to update the server instead of all 100 (just had to edit 21 prims twice arggg)

don`t know if it`s possible, if there`s a freebie out there allready or have to buy it, just editing so many scripts over and over again is a pain in the @ss so if anyone could direct me to the right place i`d very much appriciate it! cause all i can find is the normal person update delivery :/

There are several items in the Scripting Library that seem relevant. One is http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryProductUpdateServer.

thx for pointing that 1 out :)

had a look at the other scripts and inworld again but it seems there isn`t anything out there that would update scipts in a prim directly from a server and just handout new versions to the user

guess i`ll have to try figure it out on my own lol

Not sure if I'm reading between the lines correctly, but if the request is actually for something that does *not* "just handout new versions to the user"... in other words, a *fully* automatic updater of products, I would love to know about that too, but upon reflection, pretty much convinced myself it was impossible with LSL and would require some sorta libsecondlife "bot"--and even then, only work part of the time. The problem I couldn't get past was that objects can only llGiveInventory() or llRemoteLoadScriptPin() to other objects if they're in the same sim... and I can't think of any way to get an object into a sim that's a void-surrounded island except with a bot (perhaps wearing the updater as an attachment), and then, if the sim is all no-scripts or restricted-access, it still wouldn't work.

So, eventually, I convinced myself that it was better customer service anyway to give the update to the "registered owner" and let her just rez the updater. Hence a defect becomes a "feature." ;)
