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!

LSL Wiki back up at LSLwiki.com

It’s true, the LSL Wiki has returned, now hosted at LSLwiki.com. This is the com­plete data­base as it existed on SecondLife.com as of the moment it was taken down. Your logins are all the same. There’s still a cou­ple redi­rect prob­lems I haven’t cleaned out yet, but it works. I’ll fin­ish fix­ing that stuff tomor­row. In the mean­time, happy LSLing.

Edit: There will be changes and upgrades to the wiki in the near future. Some of this may include port­ing the data­base to a more mod­ern wiki engine. I’m cer­tainly not mak­ing this deci­sion alone, but I haven’t decided what I want to do yet.

LSL Wiki relocating

Due to the recent secu­rity issues affect­ing Sec­ond Life, the LSL Wiki will no longer be hosted on the Sec­ond Life web­site I’ll post addi­tional updates here next week when it relo­cates to its new home at LSLwiki.com.

In the mean­time, a few users have a backup avail­able here.
