LSL Wiki : IGS

Making A IGS (In Game Server) Written By ViceroLambert

Scripted LSL (Linden Second Language) Servers in SL (Second Life) run about the same way as a Real Life on would work. The "llEmail Tags" would work as a port going from one area to the next working over a wide area like from a Workstation to a DNS (Domain Name Server). But instead of ports and wires llEmail sends directly to a prims key or a outside email address.

Here is a example of a LSL server that when it gets a command from a out of sim device it sends back updated information. Just like a FTP (File Transfer Protocal) Server.

Device - Sends A Information Request For Texture When It Hears startup on Channel 0.

default
{
    state_entry() //Starts State
    {
        llListen( 0, "", NULL_KEY, "startup" ); //Starts to listion for startup
    }

    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message ) //chat collection
    {
        if ( id == llGetOwner() ) //Only allow owner to say this command.
        {
            llEmail("03ada148-cd2f-f9ed-60c4-e79251022fd2@lsl.secondlife.com", "request_startup_1", ""); //Send Message too prim key 03ada148-cd2f-f9ed-60c4-e79251022fd2.
        }
        else //If the chater is not the owner do somthing below this line.
        {
           
        }
    }
}

Server - Gets the request and resends the texture data to who ever sent the email.

default {
    state_entry() {

        
        llSetTimerEvent(0.1); //Starts Timer Event
    }
    
    timer() {
        llGetNextEmail("", "request_startup_1"); //Waits for email.
    }
    
    email(string time, string address, string subj, string message, integer num_left) { //Email Data
     
     llEmail(address+"@lsl.secondlife.com","6159fd53-d0ee-1a7b-c53c-d0df8989982a", ""); // When email is recived send main data back to address that was stringed on email data.
// This will not work. The address it gets has "@lsl.secondlife.com" attached already... this would come out at <key>@lsl.secondlife.com@lsl.secondlife.com
// So that line should just read - llEmail(address,"6159fd53-d0ee-1a7b-c53c-d0df8989982a", ""); ?? Correct me if I'm wrong ~ Rove Stromer 
       
    }
}

Device - Gets the information and sets the texture UUID from the server to the prim.

default {
    state_entry() {

        
        llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
    }
    
    timer() {
        llGetNextEmail("", ""); //Gets any emails coming to this object,
    }
    
    email(string time, string address, string subj, string message, integer num_left) { //email data
     
    llSetTexture(subj,ALL_SIDES); //Gets the subject of the email which holds the texture and sets it to all sides of the prim.
       
    }
}

I hope this helps you. If you have any questions feel free to contact me during my hours of 6-7pm Game Time.

I'm just a newb but I think it's a complete script.
Just a bare bones version.
The only issue I see is that the 2 device scripts should be put together.
But even that helped me with the learning curve.
I can see how this would be considered an example due to it's size.
But it's really a quite elegant primitive design perfect for beginners like me to build off of.
I think that it could stand to be referenced from an example page.
But which one? It's got a lot of commands that are essential to this type of script.
But I wouldn't have found it in an example page as easily as I did in the script ref page.
Please don't move it, just crossreferrence it if necessary.
