Cool to hear - I've also thought of it a bit, when someone asked about it, as it would be simple to integrate in the Naali / Tundra client. > Rather than hacking BitCoin integration into the viewer, I'm thinking > it might be good to run a separate piece of client software - a custom > BitCoin client responsible for managing the user's money - alongside > the viewer. When the money module on the server thinks the client Please do it like this so we can use it too :) (we don't use slviewer) > So without altering existing viewers, can anyone suggest a way to get > a message from the server, via the viewer, to another process?

I don't know if there is anything in the LSL api for this -- I know LSL can open http connections, to do xml-rpc style stuff, but probably that is for the server side only. Dunno if a webview in a client could do it, perhaps if you can use the url opening command to open a html page in slviewer's webview that would send the command with http to the local money component .. might be though that the same origin policy in browsers prevents that. > PS.

I don't see any misunderstanding, just that AFAIK vanilla slviewer doesn't support this. Would certainly be hackable there somehow. If you make the standalone component, I can do a proof of concept test UI for it to Naali/Tundra :) Perhaps someone can hack it then somehow to some slviewer based thing too. Unless there already is some way that I just don't know about. > Edmund Edgar cheers, ~Toni > Founder, KK Social Minds > Educational Technology for the Web and Virtual Worlds > > e...@socialminds.jp > +81 090 3912 3380 > Skype: edmundedgar > Second Life: Edmund Earp > Linked In: edmundedgar > Twitter: @edmundedgar > http://www.socialminds.jp > _______________________________________________ > Opensim-dev mailing list > Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list Opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
