A new hypergrid destinations directory

[Minethere Always]

I added my minethere region-) next time I will try the HUD...others say it works great.

Tried the hud yesterday, very smooth experience!

Which reminds me, i'm setting up a small travel-agency in-world, is it ok if I put the HUD on offer there?

[satyrhuman]

Sure. feel free to redistribute it.

I really like that initiative and will probably have a go at it myself as well. Funny enough, I set up something quite similar for my own regions to grab some stats from the beginning of this year. Since there was some integrity question raised in another forum about this project, I checked out the code, and it is OK.

I think you could have made it a bit simpler using llGetAgentList though, which returns more closely what you need: a list of just the UUID's of all agents/avis in the region. Here is an suggestion how to use it:

Code: Alles auswählen

checkBeacon() {
    if ( wkey == "" ) {
        llSetText("Beacon not initialized. Click to initialize.", <1.0,0.1,0.1>, 1.0);
        return;
    }
    llSetText("", <1.0,0.5,0.1>, 1.0);
    regionName = llGetRegionName();
    integer nNew = 0;
    list avis = llGetAgentList(AGENT_LIST_REGION, []);
    integer howmany = llGetListLength(avis);
    integer i;
    for ( i = 0; i < howmany; i++ ) {
        if ( ! osIsNpc(llList2Key(avis, i)) )
            nNew++; // only non-NPC's
    }
    if ( nNew != nTotalAvis || minsSinceLast > 30 ) {
        nTotalAvis = nNew;
        beaconHttp = llHTTPRequest(
            BASEURL+"/beacon/"+
            "?wk="+wkey+
            "&na="+(string)nTotalAvis+
            "&r="+llEscapeURL(regionName)+
            "&rat="+s_rating+
            "&pos="+llEscapeURL((string)llGetPos()),
            [], ""
        );
        minsSinceLast = 0;
    }
}

Hi Magnuz,
That is a great tip, thanks! you can use that in your own beacon. I 'll update the code when i get the time.

Thank you Satyr,

for that great service! I connected one of my regions with the service (the only whose buildings are not totally desolate), and it looks nice on the OpenSimWorld website. Hopefully many more residents connect their regions, it may become the main directory for the Hypergrid.

Cheers,
Mareta

So, I have spent part of the evening "spamming" the directory with the dozen of my regions that, according to my own visitor stats, seem to be of some public interest. The procedure was pretty smooth, even if it took some time since I updated some descriptions and snapshots that were a bit dated.

I too have hopes this directory will be an important part of what knits the hypergridded metaverse closer together. Thank you for the initiative, Satyr.

Hey satyrhuman,

how i can get back a forgotten password?

[Magnuz Binder]

I wanted to check the HUD, and discovered its script was "no modify", so I couldn't check up what kind of information it relayed when used. I figured I could check it on GitHub instead, but the HUD.lsl there just contained the beacon script with my suggested alteration. I suppose this is a mistake and just wanted satyr to be aware of it.

Magnuz,

I have updated the code in github: https://github.com/opensimworld/OSTools ... er/HUD.lsl
