lindex script

is there a line of code that ties into Lindex values? I don't want to have to connect to a php server or anything. I couldn't find one on the wiki, maybe it's hidden. Anyone know?

Nope, nothing intrinsic. You'll have to use outside servers.

why? lol (no answer needed).


im surprised linden hasn't built in a currency conversion script to display the linden worth compared to USD. It would make things so much easier.

Heh, more like more depressing Inflation and such...

There isn't any pressing reason, and they don't seem to like adding functions that people request, period.

im sure it would be fairly easy on their side to just do a request of the current average linden value for that day. llLindenValueAverage(integer LValue);

Although it might have an effect on the market once vendors started using this to set their prices in USD instead of LL. It would make things heck of a lot easier though.

They would have to add a function to LSL and also update the network protocol. There are dozens of ways to take an average, and due to some special properties that are fairly specific to the LindeX market most simple averages/medians would be extremely biased. It would also involve two separate systems (the in-world servers and the LindeX server) establishing a communication protocol. And finally, this has already been done manually by several people using PHP/curl, so they wouldn't be adding anything "new" to the world, only making it more accessible.
