GOOD DAY TO YOU JESSY!

A WONDERFUL QUESTION YOU ASK!

There are a lot of scripts on the SL Forums you can copy and paste and play with for yourself inworld! For example

SCRIPTING LIBRARY
/15/1.html

Inworld, you can visit places like the Linden-owned Free Bazaar @ Stillman (152, 68), which has scripts and other goodies (including scripts in a functional framework, like a create-your-own-car kit)!

A very popular resource, including—but not just for—new Residents is YadNi's Junkyard, which you can find @ Leda (210, 28). When I was new, I kept coming back here to get the boxes of scripts and look for new goodies.

Also The Learning Center @ Mauve (126, 101), be sure to fly up and look for sky platforms.

You may also want to do a ROAMSEARCH for "scripts":

HAVE FUN!!!

I suspect what you're talking about is XML-RPC. If you haven't seen it already already you should probably start on the wiki... http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=XMLRPC

XML-RPC will require you to build a server-side application of some description though. You can't get an object to just communicate with some existing web site if that's what you mean.

is there any premade applications/server sides made already for diffrent things?

Not that I'm aware of. Most implementations I've heard of use perl or php on the server side, but it can be a bit tricky too because an object in SL cannot initiate the communication directly via RPC. Technically your object in SL is the RPC server and the "server side" is actually the RPC client. Usually the way around this is to start the session by firing an email from your object.

Here's a couple of posts I collected a while back that explain in a bit more detail...
/54/d0/29188/1.html
/15/ca/35555/1.html

I'm near finishing an implementation I built in java for a game I'm working on. Not aware of anyone else that's used java to do it. I tried to design it in a way that the core XML-RPC stuff, and the handling of the trigger email, is all in a library that (in theory) could be re-used in other projects. You'd still have to have a pretty good knowledge of java to use it though, and with all the stuff I have on my plate atm I have no idea when (if ever) I'll get it tidied up enough to make it distributable. Possibly next year sometime if I find a good enough reason to do it.

I think part of the reason there is not more complete "solutions" made publically available is that it can pose some security threats to one's server to understand it's inner workings. Although with the example core RPC examples, one can patch commonly found non SL-based scripts into it. Is there a particular application you were in search for? Perhaps I could point you in the direction to some available non-SL code, however it will still require understanding of the language it is written in, whether that be Perl, PHP, Java, or whatnot.

Script I see long time ago... ( a 3d security map )
11-19-2005 00:44
Anyone know or able to help me find a security system basicly it was like 3d map in a box seen many version of them and basicly shows a dot and name person and distance they are. if you owned a big building you could even make a mini scale of it have them show up and where they are in it..

Anyone have a clue what Im talking about :)

I'd like to see more all-around tutorials for this, specifically based for LSL + PHP or LSL + Perl (preferrably PHP, I know it better). That way we can see, from beginning to end, how this works.

Personally, if I can ever figure it out well enough to get a site up and running, I'd love to write the tutorial. But currently I don't know how to do everything necessary.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd LOVE to hear them.
