I took the list serialize list code from someone, and it was posted on a wiki somewhere... (If this was you, please add your name so I can credit you).

I'm not one for writing documentation, so I apologize in advance for the confusion of the following.

Here is a map of the objects:

ObjectMakerFromNotecard
|
|---Setup (Notecard)
|---Main (Script)
|---Replicated (Object)
|---|
|---|---Main (Script)


ObjectDataSaver
|
|---Main (Script)
|---ListenToReplicate(Object)
|---|
|---|---Main (Script)

The following code goes in an object called Replicated. It is needed for the ObjectMakerFromNotecard.

string SERIALIZER_DELIMITER = "$!#"; 
integer num = 0;

list unserializeList(string serialized_data) {
    // TODO: add some checking in-case we encounter a poorly formed serialization
    //       consider using the same mem-packing list pushing technique used above
    //       (want to run performace tests first)
    list result = [];
    list t;
    list l = llParseStringKeepNulls(serialized_data, [SERIALIZER_DELIMITER], []);

    string item;
    integer i = (l != []);//This is a hack, it gets list lenght.
    integer type = 0;
    do
    {
        if((type = (integer)(item = llList2String(l, (i=~-i)))))
        {//Little error checking (also takes care of null strings).
            integer p = llSubStringIndex(item, ",");
            item = llDeleteSubString(item, 0, p);
            // How about those switch statements, Lindens???
            if (TYPE_INTEGER == type)
                t = [(integer)item];
            else if (TYPE_FLOAT == type)
                t = [(float)item];
            else if (TYPE_STRING == type)
                t = [item];
            else if (TYPE_KEY == type)
                t = [(key)item];
            else
            {
                if (TYPE_ROTATION ^ type)// if (TYPE_VECTOR == type)
                    t = [(vector)("<" + item + ">")];
                else// if (TYPE_ROTATION == type)
                    t = [(rotation)("<" + item + ">")];
            }
            //when dealing with very long lists it might be advantagous to use the commented out line instead.
            //result = [result = t] + result;
            result = t + result;

        }
    }while(i);
    return result;
}

default {
    on_rez(integer i) {
        llListen(i, "", "", "");
    }
    listen(integer i, string n, key id, string m) {
        if (llGetOwnerKey(id) == llGetOwner()) {
            list l = unserializeList(m);
            num++;
            if (num == 1) {
                list l2 = [PRIM_TYPE] + l;
                llSetPrimitiveParams(l2);
            }
            if (num == 2) {
                llSetColor((vector)m, ALL_SIDES);
            }
            if (num == 3) {
                llSetRot((rotation)m);
            }
            if (num == 4) {
                llSetScale((vector)m);
            }
            if (num == 5) {
                llSetTexture(m, ALL_SIDES);
            }
            if (num == 6) {
                vector t = (vector)m;
                llScaleTexture(t.x, t.y, ALL_SIDES);
            }
            if (num == 7) {
                vector t = (vector)m;
                llOffsetTexture(t.x, t.y, ALL_SIDES);
            }
            if (num == 8) {
                llRotateTexture((integer)m, ALL_SIDES);
            }
            if (num == 9) {
                list l2 = [PRIM_BUMP_SHINY, ALL_SIDES] + l;
                llSetPrimitiveParams(l2);
            }
            if (num == 10) {
                while (llVecDist(llGetPos(), (vector)m) > .1) llSetPos((vector)m);
                llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());
            }
            
            
            
        }
    }
}

The following object is called ObjectMakerFromNotecard. It has the following script and a note called Setup. (The data for setup will be given later).

key gSetupQueryId;
integer gSetupNotecardLine;
string  gSetupNotecardName = "Setup";


readSettingsNotecard() {
   gSetupNotecardLine = 0;
   gSetupQueryId = llGetNotecardLine(gSetupNotecardName,gSetupNotecardLine); 
}


default {
    state_entry() {
         readSettingsNotecard();
    }
    dataserver(key queryId, string data) {
        if(queryId == gSetupQueryId)  {
            if(data != EOF) {
                integer f = (integer)llFrand(10000) - 10000;
                llRezObject("Replicated", llGetPos() + <0,0,2>, <0,0,0>, <0,0,0,0>, f);
                list lis = llParseString2List(data, ["-=!!=-"], []);
                integer i = 0;
                while (i < llGetListLength(lis)) {
                    llSay(f, llList2String(lis, i));
                    i++;
                }
                gSetupQueryId = llGetNotecardLine(gSetupNotecardName,++gSetupNotecardLine); 
            } else {
                state running;   
            }
        }
    }        
    changed(integer change) {
        if (change&CHANGED_INVENTORY)
            llResetScript();
    }
}

state running {
    changed(integer change) {
        if (change&CHANGED_INVENTORY)
            llResetScript();
    }
}

The following object is called ListenToReplicate. Place it in ObjectDataSaver.

integer num = 0;
list total = [];

default {
    on_rez(integer i) {
        llListen(i, "", "", "");
    }
    listen(integer i, string n, key id, string m) {
        if (llGetOwnerKey(id) == llGetOwner()) {
            num++;
            total += m;
            if (num == 10) {
                llShout(-10, llDumpList2String(total, "-=!!=-"));
                llDie();
            }
            
            
        }
    }
}

The following code is for the ObjectDataSaver. It will also have and object called ListenToReplicate.

list data;

default {
    state_entry() {
        llListen(-5, "", "", "");
        llListen(-10, "", "", "");
        llListen(1, "", "", "");
    }
    listen(integer i, string n, key id, string m) {
        if (i == -5)
            llRezObject("ListenToReplicate", llGetPos() + <0,0,2>, <0,0,0>, <0,0,0,0>, (integer)m);
        if (i == -10)
            data += m;
        if (i == 1) {
            integer i = 0;
            while (i < llGetListLength(data)) {
                llOwnerSay("\n" + llList2String(data, i));
                i++;
            }
        }
    }
}

After you created the tree, drag the ObjectDataSaver down. Then place the following script in every prim of the object you want to save. Lastly, type any message on ch 1 and it will tell you the data. Then copy and paste it into a note called Setup and place it in the ObjectMakerFromNotecard. (WARNING: EACH PRIM IS DELETED ONCE THE SCRIPT RUNS!!)
