==Definition==

"Machinima" is a neologism based on the phrase ''machine cinema''. The term is used to distinguish between traditional animation techniques (which use specialized 3D animation software) and animation projects that record the action in real-time interactive 3D environments, such as single-player video games or Second Life. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima the Wikipedia entry] for more details.

ZZText

2009-05-05T02:36:40Z

CodeBastard Redgrave: /* So how can I use it? */ - Correction: replaced "llLinkedMessage" but the proper LSL function, llMessageLinked

== What is it ==

Scripting tools to allow display of text on a prim: [[XyText 1.5]] (aka XyText) , [[XyzzyText]], [[XyyyyzText]], [[XyzzyText-UTF8]], [[ZZText]]

'''ZZText''' is a low-prim, low-lag, international variation of [[XyText]] with the following features:
* can be enhanced with new fonts or UTF-8 characters using GIMP and python-fu.
* uses only 35 textures instead of 66 for the 10 chars on prim solution (this gives a bit less quality then the original xytext, but under normal situations is acceptable.

Rationale: if you have problems with prim usage, then you can accept this compromise.

* this particular combination of textures gives something way more rapid than [[XyzzyText]], which is very slow for big boards, and less lagger than [[XyText]].
* small warning: there is still some slight improvements for this zzText to be reasonably acceptable (consider it in a Beta stage), will post soon when it will be fully acceptable.

== Credits and copyright ==
ZZText is heavily dependent on [[XyText]] so it shares and extends credits and copyrights.

Also this is a low prim variation of the [[XyzzyText-UTF8]] page but downgraded to use XyText lower quality paradigm instead than the 1 character face approach.

== How to generate the textures ==

* You need to have GIMP 2.0 with python-fu extension installed
* Use the mega-image maker python-fu script (see following sections)
* Use the splitter python-fu script to produce 512x512 guides for later splitting
* Use the filter/web/slice... button to produce 64 slices in png format to retain transparence (from 0-0 to 7-7)
* Manually remove the empty slices (the i-j where j>i for instance 2-3, 6-7) so you have only 35 images png.
* Manually convert each png to tga (this is solving some problems with sl uploading regarding transparence)
* Upload the textures keeping the order 0-0 1-0 1-1 2-0 2-1 2-3 .... until 7-7)

Manual parts can be automated by another python-fu, but I was so exhausted with the others that it was ok for me doing manually :)

There is still some fix needed to do on the python-fu script. Currently characters are still a bit unevenly put so that when displaying them
depending on which couple using we might see some slight asymmetric unbalancing. You can note this only when looking very closely to the chars.
Whenever I fix myself this problem I will post here.

For those of you who already accept fonts I did last week, look at next sections for the 35 texture UUIDs:

== So how can I use it? ==

* Put the script named ZZText into each prim of your board naming each cell 1000 ---- 1099 as far as you need cells
* Have a main script doing the following: llMessageLinked(LINK_SET,1040,"çòàùè",NULL_KEY) to write on cell named 1040

To divide in rows, use simple modulus operations.

== Variation on [[XyText 1.5]] standard script ==

For not being so difficult to follow, I only publish differences between my script and [[XyText 1.5]] so that you might be able to understand better what I did:

=== Enabling answering to only a specific channel instead of DISPLAY_STRING channel ===

....

// Zoom in on the texture showing our character pair.
integer Col = llRound(grid_pos.x) % 40; // PK was 20
integer Row = llRound(grid_pos.y) % 20; // PK was 10

// Return the offset in the texture.
return <-0.45 + 0.025 * Col, 0.45 - 0.05 * Row, 0.0>; // PK was 0.05 and 0.1
}

ShowChars(vector grid_pos1, vector grid_pos2, vector grid_pos3, vector grid_pos4, vector grid_pos5) {
// Set the primitive textures directly.

Random Object Vendor

2008-12-14T07:29:20Z

CodeBastard Redgrave: minor code revision

{{LSL Header}}

This script is a simple object vendor that gives out random items when you pay the fixed price. Just drop it in a prim, add items, and change the prices list variable to whatever price you want to sell the items. It will give out the item in a folder named like the container prim.

Touch A Quote

2008-12-14T03:05:34Z

CodeBastard Redgrave: just fixed the comments in the code to avoid overflowing

{{LSL Header}}

This script will deliver quotes sequentially from a notecard when touched.

In the same object you drop this script, create a notecard called "_quotes" and simply put your quotes in it, max. 255 characters per line or they will be truncated. Watch out not to bust the script memory stack by adding too much, but you can use Mono to compile it and create a very long notecard.

<lsl>

// Touch a quote script
// By CodeBastard Redgrave
// Reads quotes from a notecard and displays them sequentially when you touch!
// BEWARE it cannot handle quotes more than 256 characters. Split them into multiple lines if needed.

Come to this page to see complex examples that show how to combine parts of LSL.

Go to the [[:Category:LSL Examples|LSL Examples]] page to see brief examples of how to use parts of LSL

Why collect complex examples here? Well, ...

There are many [[script|scripts]] that have become buried in the [http://forums.secondlife.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15 Scripting Library forum], were lost with the death of the scripting forums, or sit idle in [[inventory|inventories]] that could be useful and should be more accessible.

Other scripters may be in the same situation. This wiki is a well-suited medium for a script library. Feel free to add your scripts to the script library by creating new pages for them and linking to those pages here.

Note that there are many more scripts in the LSL Library here, but you can't get to them if you don't know they exist, because they are subpages now, instead of an automatically updated category. Good luck searching.

SLURL HUD

2008-12-14T02:59:38Z

CodeBastard Redgrave: Submitting the SLURL HUD script to the LSL script library

{{LSL Header}}

When touched, this HUD script sends a SLURL to yourself through IM for logging, sends it to a preconfigured email adress from a notecard, and displays it over the prim.

Drop this script in a prim, add a notecard called "emailaddress" with the email address in a single line, and reset the script to load the notecard. Wear it as a HUD. Just touch to get the SLURL.

<lsl>

// CODIE'S SLURL HUD SCRIPT - By CodeBastard Redrave
//
// Loosely inspired of:
// http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=152021&highlight=slurl+script
//
// USAGE: This script can be worn as a HUD and can be touched to spew a SLURL of your current location through various methods including IM log, Chat, and Email.
// For email to work, you only need to set the email adress through the embedded notecard.
// This script is FREE SOFTWARE.
// DO NOT: Sell this script or remove the credits and comments.
// DO: Give away, copy and distribute freely.

string gName = "emailcard"; // name of a notecard in the object's inventory
integer gLine = 0; // current line number
key gQueryID; // id used to identify dataserver queries
string emailaddress = "";
integer emailactivated = TRUE; // set to FALSE to deactivate email

//function that spews the actual SLURL to a bunch of places

integer y = (integer)pos.y;
integer z = (integer)pos.z;

string slurl = "http://slurl.com/secondlife/"+regionname+"/"+(string)x+"/"+(string)y+"/"+(string)z+"/";

//spews the stuff everythere!
llOwnerSay(slurl);
llInstantMessage(llGetOwner(),slurl);
llSetText(slurl,<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0);

llOwnerSay("Email set to:" + emailaddress + "\n");
llEmail(emailaddress, slurl, slurl);
//tell the owner when this mail has been sent
llOwnerSay("Email sent to:" + emailaddress + "\n");
}

}

default

//llSay(0, (string)gLine+": "+data); // output the line for debugging purposes
emailaddress = data;

gQueryID = llGetNotecardLine(gName, gLine); // request next line

}
}

Touch A Quote

CodeBastard Redgrave: added {{LSL Header}} {{LSLC|Examples}} {{LSLC|Library}}

{{LSL Header}}

This script will deliver quotes sequentially from a notecard when touched.

In the same object you drop this script, create a notecard called "_quotes" and simply put your quotes in it, max. 255 characters per line or they will be truncated.

Touch A Quote

2008-12-14T00:24:01Z

CodeBastard Redgrave: submitting Touch A Quote script to the Script Library

This script will deliver quotes sequentially from a notecard when touched.

In the same object you drop this script, create a notecard called "_quotes" and simply put your quotes in it, max. 255 characters per line or they will be truncated. Watch out not to bust the script memory stack by adding too much, but you can use Mono to compile it and create a very long notecard.

<lsl>

// Touch a quote script
// By CodeBastard Redgrave
// Reads quotes from a notecard and displays them sequentially when you touch!
// BEWARE it cannot handle quotes more than 256 characters. Split them into multiple lines if needed.

// This is a free script, DO NOT RESELL! Feel free to hack it, it's loosely based on the classic dataserver script from the LSL wiki. Feel free to modify it to make your own book! Make code not war <3

<div id="box">
<div style="padding: 0.5em 0.5em 1.5em">
Come to this page to see complex examples that show how to combine parts of LSL.

Go to the [[:Category:LSL Examples|LSL Examples]] page to see brief examples of how to use parts of LSL

Why collect complex examples here? Well, ...

There are many [[script|scripts]] that have become buried in the [http://forums.secondlife.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15 Scripting Library forum], were lost with the death of the scripting forums, or sit idle in [[inventory|inventories]] that could be useful and should be more accessible.

Other scripters may be in the same situation. This wiki is a well-suited medium for a script library. Feel free to add your scripts to the script library by creating new pages for them and linking to those pages here.

Note that there are many more scripts in the LSL Library here, but you can't get to them if you don't know they exist, because they are subpages now, instead of an automatically updated category. Good luck searching.

Random Object Vendor

2008-12-13T23:45:27Z

CodeBastard Redgrave: Submitting the Random Object Vendor script to the LSL script library

{{LSL Header}}

This script is a simple object vendor that gives out random items when you pay the fixed price. Just drop it in a prim, add items, and change the prices list variable to whatever price you want to sell the items. It will give out the item in a folder named like the container prim.

<pre>

// Random object vendor by CodeBastard Redgrave
// Drop items in the prim containing this script
// Pay the set price amount and it will give you a random object
// <3

// Pieces stolen from:
// Give inventory to whoever touches the prim, written by Sasun Steinbeck (get_inv_list is shweet <3)

list inventory; //holds a list of inventory items to give out on click.
list prices = [1];

get_inv_list()
{
integer i;
string name;

inventory = [];
for (i = 0; i < llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_ALL); i++)
{
name = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_ALL, i);
if (name != llGetScriptName()) inventory += [name]; //add everything but this script to the list
}
llOwnerSay("The following items have been found in this prim and will be given out on touch: " + llList2CSV(inventory) + ".");
if (llGetListLength(inventory) > 1)
llOwnerSay("These items will be put into a folder named " + llGetObjectName() + ". Rename this object to rename the destination folder.");
}

default
{
state_entry()
{
get_inv_list();
llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(),PERMISSION_DEBIT);
llSetPayPrice(PAY_HIDE, prices);

}

money(key id, integer amount)
{
if (amount == (integer)llList2String(prices,0))
{

integer i;
integer num_items = llGetListLength(inventory);
integer random_item = (integer)llFrand(num_items + 1);

if (num_items < 1)
llSay(0, "No items to offer.");
else if (num_items == 1)
llGiveInventory(id, llList2String(inventory, 0));
else //multiple items in a folder named after this prim's name
{
llGiveInventoryList(id, llGetObjectName(), [llList2String(inventory, random_item)]);
llInstantMessage(id, "Your items have been given to you in a folder in your inventory named " + llGetObjectName() + ". Thank you!");
}

}
else

llWhisper(0,"Sorry that is the wrong amount for this item.");
