The LSL Wiki finds a new home


After a cou­ple months of fight­ing to retrieve data from my ISP, argu­ing about whether or not I had the right to trans­fer the LSLwiki.com domain name — and finally buy­ing a new one — fol­lowed by a cou­ple days’ worth of mess­ing about with MySQL, I’m pleased to say the LSL Wiki has returned, in editable, “cur­rent” form. Your old logins and pass­words work.

Every­thing is the way it was at the moment the wiki went down. Nothing’s changed, we just wanted to get an editable wiki back up, but we have some fixes and addons to be rolled out over the next cou­ple of weeks.

One catch though: this time, it’s at LSLwiki.net. I’ve put up redi­rects at the old site at LSLwiki.com, but it remains to be seen whether or not I’ll ever be able to recover that domain and put it to more use­ful… use.

This announce­ment comes right on the heels of Milo Linden’s “ohhh yeah­hhh…” forum post:

Cur­rently on the aditi beta grid.

llSetLinkTexture(integer link_pos, string tex­ture, inte­ger face)
Sets the tex­ture of face for link_pos

llSetLinkPrimitiveParams(integer linknum­ber, list rules)
Set prim­i­tive para­me­ters for linknum­ber based on rules.

Yes! It’s about time! (By which I mean, “thank you for the con­tin­ued steady ful­fill­ment of the userbase’s most desired wishes, Lin­den Lab.”) These are two of the biggest “miss­ing func­tions” in LSL. With their addi­tion, scripters can update all prims in an object with one script instead of a hun­dred or more.

Now, let’s get to work updat­ing this thing!

    Kick ass Cat! Please let me know if you need some help pres­sur­ing the old domain reg­istry about the .com. That’s BS if they think you don’t own it & to have all 3 domains cen­tral­ized in the future as we had talked about will be awesome!

    Thanks again for your con­tin­ued efforts with this. =)

    I really appre­ci­ate this being avail­able again. Thanks for muscling this through. I’ve missed it–even though I’m not much of a scrip­tor. It was one of the friend­liest places, for me, to learn how to pro­gram LSL.

    Me: ”Is what you’re telling me actu­ally true though?”
    Them: ”No, that’s a lie.”

    * Note: I can’t actu­ally remem­ber whose Tier 1 sup­port that was, so I won’t name names.

    Woo-hoo! Thanks, Cat!

    I’m glad this sit­u­a­tion got the Lin­dens to make their own wiki, too, but it’s pretty spar­tan. Much pre­fer yours being back.
