Two points of view
 Developer
 Scripter

Environment

Missing link
 Server/Client developer
 Server (core services/scene code/OMV protocol…)
 Client
 Server extensions developer
 Region modules, services…
 <missing>
 Scripter
Developer
Scripter
The subject of presentation is an attempt to discuss an ability to
create a missing link.

Virtual application
 Scripter set of tools could be extended
 Region modules
 OSSL API
 Various .Net languages (Xengine)
 ModInvoke
 …
 …when do we need to stop?
Dynamic virtual environment - a three-dimensional multi-user environment
where the minimum program unit – module of such environment is an object
of this environment.
Virtual application - a program unit of virtual environment, fully independent
from client-server realization and network protocol application, which
have a full access to programming language standard library, an ability
to use dependencies (assemblies) and full access to all client and server
methods.
 Analogy: a default application in modern OS.

Requirements for VA
 Modular client (client-side plugins)
 Possibility to use full .Net language in scripts
(classes, events, etc.)
 Possibility to use precompiled assemblies
 Reuse as much code as possible (client – server –
libOMV)

LSL Classics
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Script running”);
}
touch_start(integer count)
{
llSay(0,"Touched.");
}
}
 State machine – based
 No classes
 At some point of complexity – pure “spaghetti” code

Basic C#
//c#o
namespace SecondLife
{
public class Script :
OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Shared.ScriptBase.ScriptBaseClass
{
public Script():base(){}
public void default_event_state_entry()
{
llSay(0,"Hello,Avatar!");
}
public void default_event_touch_start(LSL_Integer count)
{
}
}
}

C# classes
//c#o
{
class Test
{
OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Shared.ScriptBase.ScriptBaseClass main_script;
int i;
public Test(OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Shared.ScriptBase.ScriptBaseClass ms){i=0; main_script=ms;}
public void Add(){i=i+1;main_script.llSay(0,"I changed!");}
public int Get() {return i;}
};
public class Script : OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Shared.ScriptBase.ScriptBaseClass
{
Test t;
{
t=new Test(this);
}
{
t.Add();
llSay(0,"Touched."+t.Get());
}
}
}

Code editor problem
 Viewer code editor is bad for C#
 Syntax highlighting, autocomplete, etc.
 Xamarin studio integration
 How it works
○ We have project template and necessary .dll’s on client side
○ Client creates temporary project and open it by Xamarin

“Wrapper” classes
{
{
CSHost host;
public override void InitGlobals()
{
host=getHost();
}
{
}
{
host.Color=new LSL_Vector(1,0,0);
}
}
}
• A set of “build-in” classes – “standard library” (with LSL/OSSL/LS)
•Not serializable, so we need InitGlobals()

New asset types
 “Generic file”
 Useful for generic file exchange. Default inventory function –
download.
 Assembly
 Precompiled script. Starts in prim inventory.
 Could be used as reference in default script or another assembly (not finished)

Shared media controllers
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = init;
function init()
{
if(window.slviewer)
{
alert(“Viewer found");
}
}
function TestButton()
{
if(window.slviewer)
window.slviewer.BackMessage("UP");
}
function TestButton1()
{
if(window.slviewer)
window.slviewer.BackMessage("DOWN");
}
</script>
</head>
</body>
<form method="post">
<input name="UP" type="button" value="UP"
onclick="TestButton()"></form>
<input name="DOWN" type="button" value="DOWN"
onclick="TestButton1()"></form>
</html>
{
public class Script :
OpenSim.Region.ScriptEngine.Shared.ScriptBase.ScriptBaseClass
{
{
//from notecard “control”
string url=triServeHTML("/controller/","control");
LSL_List list=new LSL_List();
list.Add(PRIM_MEDIA_CURRENT_URL);
list.Add(url);
list.Add(PRIM_MEDIA_HOME_URL);
list.Add(url);
llSetPrimMediaParams(4,list);
}
public void default_event_media_message(LSL_String msg)
{
if(msg=="UP")
llSetPos(llGetPos()+new LSL_Vector(0,0,1));
if(msg=="DOWN")
llSetPos(llGetPos()-new LSL_Vector(0,0,1));
}
}
}

Embedding Mono
 Minimal runtime
 ~10 mb
 One main “entry point” assembly
 Main assembly defines the interface for
plugins

 Reusing libOMV
public interface ITrialityPlugin
{
void RegisterPlugin();
string GetName();
void RunPlugin();
}

Main plugin problems
 Message system
 Handle in and out SL-protocol messages
 Possibility to send message
 User interface
 Get and set the values of UI controls
 Handle messages from UI
 Add new controls
 Client internals

Message system
 Works like libOMV GridProxy
public void RegisterPlugin()
{
Triality.AddDelegate (PacketType.ChatFromSimulator, TestChatDelegate); //subscribe to in packet
Triality.AddOutDelegate (PacketType.ChatFromViewer, TestOutChatDelegate); //subscribe to out packet
}
public bool TestOutChatDelegate(Packet p)
{
ChatFromViewerPacket cp = (ChatFromViewerPacket)p;
string chatstr = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString (cp.ChatData.Message);
Triality.debug_output("______CHAT OUT PACKET:"+chatstr);
return true; //packet passed to server
}
public bool TestChatDelegate(Packet p)
{
ChatFromSimulatorPacket cp = (ChatFromSimulatorPacket)p;
string chatstr = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString (cp.ChatData.Message);
Triality.debug_output("______CHAT PACKET:"+chatstr);
return true; //packet passed to viewer
}

Packet injector
ChatFromViewerPacket inj_test = new ChatFromViewerPacket (); //from libOMV
inj_test.AgentData.AgentID = Triality.clientID;
inj_test.AgentData.SessionID = Triality.sessionID;
inj_test.ChatData.Channel = 0;
inj_test.ChatData.Message = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes ("HELLO FROM MONO");
inj_test.ChatData.Type = 2;
byte[] bpack = inj_test.ToBytes ();
Triality.internal_inject_mono_message (bpack);

Viewer controls
 Identified by GUID in XUI
 Plugin code:
<button
follows="top|left"
label="Button"
layout="topleft"
left_delta="0"
name="test_button"
tool_tip="button"
top="80"
mono_control_id="c69fea6b-b2c1-44d6-a9ba-f5859c960366"
width="100" />
TrialityPlugin.Triality.OnControl += OnControlTest; //in RegisterPlugin()
….
public void OnControlTest(string name,string id,string val)
{
string test_value =TrialityPlugin.Triality.internal_get_control_value ("856c0368-50ad-428d-939e-737d72b4fa56");
TrialityPlugin.Triality.debug_output ("_____TEST GET" + test_value);
OSDReal sd = new OSDReal (1.0);
string cval = OSDParser.SerializeLLSDXmlString (sd); //from libOMV
TrialityPlugin.Triality.debug_output ("_____TEST SET" + cval);
TrialityPlugin.Triality.internal_set_control_value ("856c0368-50ad-428d-939e-737d72b4fa56", cval);

Adding a new floater
namespace FloaterAndControlsMono
{
public class FloaterAndControls:ITrialityPlugin
{
Floater mTestFloater;
….
public void RegisterPlugin()
{
mTestFloater = new Floater ("test_mono_fltoater_controls", "floater_test_register_mono.xml");
Triality.internal_register_command_handler ("Mono.TestSetValue");
….
public void OnCommand(string command,string data)
{
switch (command)
{
case "Mono.TestSetValue“:
….
public void RunPlugin()
{
mTestFloater.Show ();
}

Client internals
 Mostly singletons
 Could be bound to Mono via static
wrappers
 Example:
public class SelectManager
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets selected object UUID
/// </summary>
/// <returns>The selected UUID.</returns>
[MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
public static extern string getSelectedID();

What we have
 Client plugins
 Server assemblies
 Not a virtual application (different
projects)

Generic client/server calls
{
CSClient test;
{
test=getAllClients(); //could be by UUID
}
{
test.SendChat("TEST STRING"); //client method call
}

Direct client/server calls
 Client:
 Server:
foreach (KeyValuePair<UUID,string> kv in Triality.mRegisteredSceneScripts)
{
Triality.debug_output (“Registered server script:" + kv.Value); //kv.Value – script registration name
Triality.SendDirectMessageToScript (kv.Key, "TEST DIRECT MESSAGE");
}
{
osRegisterCSScript ("MessageTest"); //random UUID; could be predefined
}
public void default_event_message_from_client_plugin (LSL_Key client, LSL_String msg)
{
llSay(0,"Message from client plugin:"+msg);
}

Future
 Xamarin/Visual Studio plugin
 UI designer and code generation
 Project types: client plugin, server assembly,
full VA
 Testing environment
 Use attributes for remote calls code
generation
 On both (client and server sides)
 Virtual application.

Putting it’s all together…

Problems
 Security
 Precompiled assemblies on client and server
 Performance
 Mono calls and marchalling
 Hypergrid

Conclusions
 Modular client
 Full-scale server scripting language
 “Standard library” for client and server
 Xamarin/VS as a developer environment
 In the future – virtual application
 Possibility to distribute client plugins and
server assemblies on commercial base

English language for
aviation
 2009, Aeroflot – Russian airlines
 Agent based English language training
for cabin crew
 Main features
 Using of bots (agents) for role-play games and demonstration of typical
situations
 XML scenarios of bots behavior, and visual designer for them
 An ability to take control of every bot (by teacher)
 Integration with Moodle, Airbus LMS, and internal ERP services
 Text-to-Speech (voices for bots)
 …..
 Could be realized by standard tools (LSL/server modules), but really
difficult.
