[opensource-dev] Where are the new LSL functions in viewer 2 ?
Greetings, I was in the process of creating a patch to backport the new LSL functions to viewer v1.23, but I noticed that some of these functions, while already implemented server-side, are not even implemented in viewer 2... For example, llGetLinkPrimitiveParams() does compile (in any viewer) but isn't highlighted because this function is not declared in indra/lscript/lscript_library/lscript_library.cpp Since the functions in this file cannot be added in a random order, one can't add it by their own accord till LL provides the updated file, with whatever order they chose for all the new functions. If LL is not about to implement these functions in viewer 2, could we at least know for sure what is their future rank in lscript_library.cpp so that third parties viewers can implement them ? Also, speaking about llGetLinkPrimitiveParams() (and the associated llSetLinkPrimitiveParams()), we would need simpler functions such as llSetLinkText(), llGetLinkScale(), llGetLinkDesc(), etc (i.e. functions just like the existing llSetLinkAlpha(), for example), since using lists together with ll[G/S]etLinkPrimitiveParams() is extremely tedious and consumes much more memory and script time than a simpler, specialized function when used to change just one parameter in a child prim...

Third party viewers can add anything to that file in any order with no real consequence. The big scary warnings in that file are a legacy of the old days when the viewer compiled its own bytecode. That file might also be used by the server code these days, but even if so, that's of no real concern to third party viewer developers. McCabe added the new functions and keywords to Imprudence recently, here's the commit with the changes: http://github.com/jacek/imprudence/commit/a3182539 I can email it to you as a patch if you want, just let me know (privately). Regards, - Jacek P.S. In Viewer 2, the tooltips seem to be defined in indra/newview/skins/default/xui/en-us/strings.xml (I guess the ones in lscript_library.cpp are ignored now). But, it is missing llGetLinkPrimitiveParams. Perhaps someone affected by this should file a JIRA ticket for the missing tooltip. ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
