JS Uralia: /* Boolean precidence pragma */

== Useful/Joke Functions ==
I have been noticing that some of the "feature request" functions are here only as documentation of a funny idea someone had. IMHO these joke functions (and some are really funny, don't get me wrong,) should be organized into a different category/page. That would allow for less clutter and make it more likely that useful suggestions would be seen by the eyes of those who have tha ability to implement them. Does anyone else concur or disagree?

I do think every function listed should have a feature request on the PJIRA and a link between the two. Is it possible to put something easy in the template to create this connection? I'm just going to add links where I can find them.

:::Define "huge additions"
:::For me a "huge addition" would be anything that requires A) adding more than 50 lines of code. A huge addition would be something that includes B) changes to existing code in multiple places. With regards to LSL it would be something that involves C) adding more then one object to the compiler tree. With LSO it would be anything that D) requires the addition of a new bytecode. Most of your suggestions violate at least one of these. 3 & 8 violate A, B, C & D. 4, 5 & 6 violate A, B & D. 7 violates A & B. There hasn't been a new LSO bytecode in 6 years (I've tried to get them to add a few but with no success, like an unsigned right-shift operator >>>), so don't count on the likely hood of anything that requires one. #1 is likely the only one that is truly trivial. -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 16:44, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

If fact, just implementing a macro markup syntax would allow all of this and much more. Once the macro capability is in place, the residents can implement their own reusable (good time to add simple little includes too) parsing scripts. All this could happen as a script preprocessor at the editor and/or compiler levels, without changing LSL a bit. As a bonus, the macro language could continue to useful with future languages if/when added to SL. - [[User:FalconZip Zerbino|FalconZip Zerbino]] 21:13, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

=== Boolean precidence pragma ===

Thanks everyone. I continue to believe that all of these are well worth it. We need a pragma to switch ||/&& precidence. See [http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=boolean "Unlike most languages....] Does that take care of the cruft and safety issues Kelly raised above?

== llGetLinkNumberOfSides ==

'''Function: integer llGetLinkNumberOfSides( integer link_number );'''

Returns an integer that is the number of faces (or sides) of the linked prim link_number

• integer link_number – Link number (0: unlinked, 1: root prim, >1: child prims)

JS Uralia: /* Suggested Topics */ link to specific quaternion library code

Please add any topics you want to discuss at the next general scripting office hours below.

===Standing Topics===
* Updates on any scripting projects

===Suggested Topics===
* [[Talk:LSL Useful Function WishList#backwards-compatible ways to save typing or be more like C or Javascript]] (please see for discussion of merits):
**(1) compound declarations, "integer i, j;"
**(2) declaration initialization, "integer i=1;"
**(3) Brackets for list index access, "l[5]=5;"
**(4) a pragma which offers synonyms for functions without the "ll" and/or their C or Javascript short common names, if any;
**(5) double precision floating point;
**(6) long integers.
* Mephistopheles Thalheimer suggests also:
**(7) function overloads; and
**(8) classes.
* [[Talk:Rotation#Useful snippets]] quaternion library improvements, e.g., SLERP, [http://www.isner.com/tutorials/quatSpells/quaternion_spells_12.htm], and [http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryRotationFunctions]
* Clarification of how scripting JIRA issues are resolved. Specifically minor or trivial, how/when do these get picked up to be worked on, could one or more Lindens dedicate some time each week to picking up a few smaller issues and working on them, using the JIRA list sorted by age (oldest first) to clear them by developing them, or trying to design a solution if required beforehand ([[User:Haravikk Mistral|Haravikk Mistral]]).

===Previously Discussed Topics===
* LSL library calls for mesh

Talk:LSL Useful Function WishList

JS Uralia: /* backwards-compatible ways to save typing or be more like C or Javascript */

== Useful/Joke Functions ==
I have been noticing that some of the "feature request" functions are here only as documentation of a funny idea someone had. IMHO these joke functions (and some are really funny, don't get me wrong,) should be organized into a different category/page. That would allow for less clutter and make it more likely that useful suggestions would be seen by the eyes of those who have tha ability to implement them. Does anyone else concur or disagree? [[User:Cron Stardust|Cron Stardust]] 15:52, 4 March 2007 (PST)
:I really really don't like joke functions. I don't think they should be on the wiki at all. It's not that I don't appreciate humor, it's just that I don't want LL wasting their time processing requests for joke functions. If we treat things like a joke, then LL will not take the wiki seriously; the effect will be a loss of influence. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 21:04, 4 March 2007 (PST)
::That was why I suggested a different page/template for them. No-one can prevent them being added, but why have them dilute this space when they can be put in a slightly different category. :D [[User:Cron Stardust|Cron Stardust]] 21:29, 4 March 2007 (PST)
:::I'll make up a new modifier-template, it's not a time consuming task. Or maybe, make it a mode of the request template. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 22:28, 4 March 2007 (PST)
:My "llPizza" is nearly both. If we had to remove humor to achieve better focus I'm all for it. However I would welcome the idea of two separate areas. We are talking about a program with an easter egg of "hippos". I think humor is a huge part of Second Life.[[User:Blueman Steele|Blueman Steele]]
I agree... I just read through all of the requests and there are quite a few jokes and a lot of requests duplicating functions that already exist. Should we clean this up in the hopes that the folks at LL will take a more serious look at the requests that remain?[[User:GC Continental|GC Continental]]

Sad fact is that many of the functions being requested are not jokes but stupid ideals. Maybe we should make a Stupid function category and flag them as such. --[[User:Destiny Niles|Destiny Niles]] 14:20, 9 July 2008 (PDT)

:If you're sure it's stupid, it's okay to just remove it. There's always the history if anyone disagrees with your opinion. [[User:JS Uralia|JS Uralia]] 20:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== Should llGet... be in the same category as "llG..." ==

If you look under "G" in the list you will see that they are all llGet... functions. Seeing as how most of the functions starting with llG are llGet functions in LSL then why not separate them completely or in a sub category. In addition should we do this to llSet... functions? --[[User:TxMasterG Ping|TxMasterG Ping]] 17:28, 20 June 2007 (PDT)

== Links to PJIRA ==
I am for cleaning some of the functions up as far as duplicate functions go (I don't mind joke requests since some valid changes can start from joking about issues). I do think every function listed should have a feature request on the PJIRA and a link between the two. Is it possible to put something easy in the template to create this connection? I'm just going to add links where I can find them.

:I annotated from letters 'A'-'N' and 'T'-'Z' but not the Other (non-function name) category below to which I placed some more proposed enhancements. [[User:JS Uralia|JS Uralia]] 19:56, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== Rules for Posting ==
I am thinking we should add one rule for posting: only functions that can not be implemented in LSL, or would be very difficult to implement in LSL, or would be significantly faster if it was added as a function, should be asked for. This means, don't ask for a function such as llGetOwnerName(), as it is possible to just do llKey2Name(llGetOwner()). However, while it is possible, asking for a SHA1 or SHA2 hash would be reasonable for two reasons: first, it is difficult to write code for them; and second, the speed of SHA in LSL is incredibly slow. Asking for the ability to call "someList[5]" would be acceptable, as there is no way to write a function to do that in LSL. This is only and idea - and I'd like to hear comments on what others think. -[[User:Xaviar Czervik|Xaviar Czervik]] 23:35, 22 November 2007 (PST)

:''Each one of these would require significant time for development and even more for QA and making sure we didn't break existing scripts. LSL is a crufty and dangerous language. In fact just today we were addressing a bug where some scripts changed behavior because of a change in the compiler flags for the project. If we spend significant time on scripting in SL it will probably be towards implementing a better language and not tacking on extensions to the core language of LSL. - [[User:Kelly Linden|Kelly Linden]] 22:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)''
::I wish you had pinged me after you replied here--I don't have this page on my universal watchlist for some reason. The benefit of removing the low-hanging cruft and danger of LSL far outweighs disenfranchising all those who have learned to use it. The threat of C#, which has a "object" structure full of namespace conflicts with prim objects has prevented a lot of very low-hanging LSL progress for years. If such changes are not truly backwards compatible, if QA doesn't catch that fact then a roll-out will, and they can be reverted, but I doubt that will be necessary. These are not huge feature additions, and as modular changes or rolled together they should be easy to QA and roll out. If you compare LSL scripter time saved to the amount of time it would take to provide these improvements, are they really still significant? [[User:JS Uralia|JS Uralia]] 07:15, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Fixed a few minor syntax errors and reworked the top of the article a bit. As an article it is quite far along though it still has a ways to go. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 03:32, 29 January 2007 (PST)

== Intro is awful ==

"gymbal lock" is something that affects mechanical systems with gyroscopes. A quaternion rotation is a mathematical abstraction. The term simply does not apply, and only serves to confuse things. The reference to "SLERP" without a link is useless. [[User:Doran Zemlja|Doran Zemlja]]

:Gimbal lock effects Euler angles to which you wrote an article using them everywhere without mention it; it is a gross oversight. That sentence is a bit complex on review and yes there is no SLERP article but that doesn't mean someone won't write one (it is better to leave open links then no links; no links give no hint that a page should be created). I may write a short one tomorrow, I already have a function that implements it (I've just been pressed for time). I will find a better article on gimbal lock, the wikipedia one is pretty poor in this regard as it fails to go into the programing implications. I gave you the benefit of the doubt and looked up 'gymbal' in the dictionary, to which it was nowhere to be found; but 'gimbal' was. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 19:33, 31 January 2007 (PST)

::Gimbal lock affects you every time you use Euler Coordinates, it is not restricted to gyroscopes. German article on wikipedia about gimbal lock shows it much more clearly than the English version -- Catherine Pfeffer 2007-12-08

I'm a mathematician, and think the following text is also misleading (or partially incorrect) in the '''Other Representations''' section: '''''"Another way to represent a rotation is using three numbers, <X, Y, Z>, which represent the amount (in radians) which the object is rotated around each axis. This is used in the Edit window..."''''' Technically, 1 "radian" equals the angle that is traced out by an arc along a circle's circumference, [[when that arc equals the circle's radius]]. This means that 2*pi radians equals 360 degrees, 1*pi radians equals 180 degrees, and pi/2 radians equals 90 degrees. SL's '''prim'''-editing window displays rotations in [[degrees]] (360, 180, 90...) and NOT in [[radians]] (2pi, pi, pi/2)! However, it IS true that radians must be used when editing values in some LSL '''script''' commands! [[User:Times Sands|Times Sands]] 18:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mirroring using quaternions ==

I think I have worked out how to mirror a point (and therefore an entire object in pieces,) using quaternions, but does anyone here know how to, or if it is even possible to, define a rotation that turns a left hand into a right hand or vise-versa? This is a three diminsional mirror operation, but in four diminsions it is a simple rotation. (I could be wrong, but based on my research into quaternions it seems right...) [[User:Cron Stardust|Cron Stardust]] 22:16, 25 March 2007 (PDT)
:It depends entirely upon which axis you want to mirror around. Save yourself some work and look up Jeffrey's Prim Mirror. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 11:13, 26 March 2007 (PDT)

== Moving this page ==

Shouldn't the content of this page be moved to Category:LSL Rotation? It seems confusing to me to have multiple Rotation pages.

::Very true. Or even better, do a "pure maths" one and a "pure lsl" one -- Catherine Pfeffer, 2007-12-08

== GetRot()/SetRot() chart ==

llGetLocalRot() and llGetRot() clearly do *not* return the same value in the root prim of an attachment. While I believe that llGetRot() returns the avatar rotation as indicated, llGetLocalRot() I believe gives the rotation of the root prim relative to the attachment point (or the avatar?)

== Maths versus LSL ==

Has anyone noticed that maths' quaternion multiplication is written in reverse order than in LSL ? That is, what you write Q1 . Q2 in maths is computed in LSL with Q2 * Q1. Is that a bug or simply a documentation issue ? -- Catherine Pfeffer - 2007-12-08

:It appears to be a bug, with an obvious patch in the server code, but this bug won't be fixed, so I decided to document the problem here -- Catherine Pfeffer - 2008-08-28

::I know it's a way late comment, but my guess is that it's the noticable side effect of LSL's backwards order of evaluation. we just don't notice it elsewhere because most other operations within lsl are communicative and quaternion math isn't. -- '''[[User:Void_Singer|Void]]''' ([[User_talk:Void_Singer|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Void_Singer|contribs]]) 11:09, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

== Unjustified preference for Euler notation ==

One thing that really annoys me with this page is that it seems to consider that the Euler coordinates are the easy way to deal with rotations, while the <x, y, z, s> quaternion representation is almost unintelligible.

That's a common opinon, and as a matter of facts, most LSL scripts I have found use and overuse llEuler2Rot() and llRot2Euler().

But that's simply wrong. Euler's notation is completly unintuitive for any non-trivial situation.

To get convinced of it, try to figure out the Euler angles for the rotation of 45 degrees around XY diagonal (X = Y and Z = 0). Good luck ! :-).
Now try figuring out the quaternions's values with the directing vector and sine and cosine of the half-angle: that's straightforward.

I think this page is misleading a lot of new scripters into the wrong direction because of its preference for Euler angles. -- Catherine Pfeffer - 2008-08-28

:I agree. '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 14:19, 28 August 2008 (PDT)

== Rotating Vectors ==

The example:-

//-- same as:
llSetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_POSITION, llGetPos() + (gPosOffset - gPosOffset * gRotArc) * llGetRot(),PRIM_ROTATION, gRotArc * llGetRot()] );

gives no derivation of the variables gPosOffset and gRotArc.
Which is less than useful to someone learning from the text.
[[User:Gregory McLeod|Gregory McLeod]] 08:51, 1 September 2008 (PDT)
:missed this comment before. although it should be guessable that offset = gPosOffset, and rot6x = gRotArc, I went ahead and made the section more explicit, and converted it to use lsl highlighting (so that all keywords would be linked) and removed a few slightly misleading viewer frame references. -- '''[[User:Void_Singer|Void]]''' ([[User_talk:Void_Singer|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Void_Singer|contribs]]) 11:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:I agree. '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 14:19, 28 August 2008 (PDT)

== Rotating Vectors ==

The example:-

//-- same as:
llSetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_POSITION, llGetPos() + (gPosOffset - gPosOffset * gRotArc) * llGetRot(),PRIM_ROTATION, gRotArc * llGetRot()] );

gives no derivation of the variables gPosOffset and gRotArc.
Which is less than useful to someone learning from the text.
[[User:Gregory McLeod|Gregory McLeod]] 08:51, 1 September 2008 (PDT)
:missed this comment before. although it should be guessable that offset = gPosOffset, and rot6x = gRotArc, I went ahead and made the section more explicit, and converted it to use lsl highlighting (so that all keywords would be linked) and removed a few slightly misleading viewer frame references. -- '''[[User:Void_Singer|Void]]''' ([[User_talk:Void_Singer|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Void_Singer|contribs]]) 11:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

== Useful snippets ==

The snippet we have now is kind of a string function. [http://www.isner.com/tutorials/quatSpells/quaternion_spells_12.htm How about converting these] from XSI to LSL?

[http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryRotationFunctions How about these] from lslwiki.net? ("All functions on this page are released into public domain and may have been based off other public domain works.")

By the way, someone above complained about an unlinked reference to slerp() which seems to now be completely missing(!) Both of those have slerp(). [[User:Gia May|Gia May]] 07:15, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

:I offer L$5000 to the first person who translates two functions from http://www.isner.com/tutorials/quatSpells/quaternion_spells_12.htm to the Useful snippets here, or for code constraining rotations to an arbitrary conic section. Runners up, if any, will be awarded on merit, and I am also asking the Lindens to help with this library deficiency bug bounty. IM me inworld for details. [[User:JS Uralia|JS Uralia]] 21:17, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::Hello, I went ahead and added three such functions: ConstrainQuaternion2Plane, ScaleQuaternion and CombineQuaternions (Slerp) though this last one already existed on the Wiki.--[[User:Jesrad Seraph|Jesrad Seraph]] 07:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Pending fulfillment of my promise -- and [https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=Rotation&diff=220643&oldid=167253 Mephistopheles Thalheimer can attest I keep my word on these bounty payments] -- could someone please independently verify that this function works as advertised?

<lsl>// Constrain a rotation to a given plane, defined by its normal, this is very useful for vehicles that remain horizontal in turns:
rotation ConstrainQuat2Plane(rotation source, vector normal)
{
return llAxisAngle2Rot(normal, <source.x, source.y, source.z> * normal * llRot2Angle(source));
} // Jesrad Seraph</lsl>

I'm very troubled by the use of the first three elements of the quaternion in that manner, but don't know enough to figure out what a correct answer is supposed to look like. [[User:JS Uralia|JS Uralia]] 20:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

* compound declarations, "integer i, j;"

* declaration initialization, "integer i=1;"

* Brackets for list index access, "l[5]=5;"

* a (set of?) pragma(s) which offer(s~) synonyms for functions without the "ll" and their C, C#, and Javascript short common names, if any;

* double precision floating point;

* long integers;

* Mephistopheles Thalheimer suggests also:
** function overloads and
** classes with method calls.

http://lslplus.sourceforge.net/ was just mentioned in Babbage's office hour -- can the m4 macro preprocessor accomplish some of these tasks, too?

Also, I've offered L$5000 for enhancements to the rotation library; see the talk page for details. [[User:JS Uralia|JS Uralia]] 19:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Fixed a few minor syntax errors and reworked the top of the article a bit. As an article it is quite far along though it still has a ways to go. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 03:32, 29 January 2007 (PST)

"gymbal lock" is something that affects mechanical systems with gyroscopes. A quaternion rotation is a mathematical abstraction. The term simply does not apply, and only serves to confuse things. The reference to "SLERP" without a link is useless. [[User:Doran Zemlja|Doran Zemlja]]

:Gimbal lock effects Euler angles to which you wrote an article using them everywhere without mention it; it is a gross oversight.

I'm a mathematician, and think the following text is also misleading (or partially incorrect) in the '''Other Representations''' section: '''''"Another way to represent a rotation is using three numbers, <X, Y, Z>, which represent the amount (in radians) which the object is rotated around each axis. This is used in the Edit window..."''''' Technically, 1 "radian" equals the angle that is traced out by an arc along a circle's circumference, [[when that arc equals the circle's radius]]. This means that 2*pi radians equals 360 degrees, 1*pi radians equals 180 degrees, and pi/2 radians equals 90 degrees. SL's '''prim'''-editing window displays rotations in [[degrees]] (360, 180, 90...) and NOT in [[radians]] (2pi, pi, pi/2)! However, it IS true that radians must be used when editing values in some LSL '''script''' commands! [[User:Times Sands|Times Sands]] 18:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mirroring using quaternions ==

I think I have worked out how to mirror a point (and therefore an entire object in pieces,) using quaternions, but does anyone here know how to, or if it is even possible to, define a rotation that turns a left hand into a right hand or vise-versa? This is a three diminsional mirror operation, but in four diminsions it is a simple rotation. (I could be wrong, but based on my research into quaternions it seems right...)

llGetLocalRot() and llGetRot() clearly do *not* return the same value in the root prim of an attachment. While I believe that llGetRot() returns the avatar rotation as indicated, llGetLocalRot() I believe gives the rotation of the root prim relative to the attachment point (or the avatar?)

:It appears to be a bug, with an obvious patch in the server code, but this bug won't be fixed, so I decided to document the problem here -- Catherine Pfeffer - 2008-08-28

== Unjustified preference for Euler notation ==

One thing that really annoys me with this page is that it seems to consider that the Euler coordinates are the easy way to deal with rotations, while the <x, y, z, s> quaternion representation is almost unintelligible.

That's a common opinon, and as a matter of facts, most LSL scripts I have found use and overuse llEuler2Rot() and llRot2Euler().

But that's simply wrong. Euler's notation is completly unintuitive for any non-trivial situation.

To get convinced of it, try to figure out the Euler angles for the rotation of 45 degrees around XY diagonal (X = Y and Z = 0). Good luck ! :-).
Now try figuring out the quaternions's values with the directing vector and sine and cosine of the half-angle: that's straightforward.

== LSL Category Localization Template ==

Heyas! =) 
It's me again... I wanted to ask for feedback/input on these two templates: [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/de|German]], [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/fr|French]]. It would be supposed to easily provide unified localized LSL cats so translators wouldn't accidentally connect an article to a wrong category when they'd choose another translation for the same word. I implemented a small test version in [[Template:LSL Function/de]], [[Template:LSL Event/de]], [[Template:LSL Constant/de]], [[Template:LSLC/de]] and [[Template:LSLGC/de]]. I tried about 5 different ways of implementing the template itself (without database-slaves) but they all failed due to either wiki limitations or parser function bugs (it worked well in the sandbox wiki). I'd like to try it in the German localization (can't break much content there at the moment...) and in case it works out fine, Gally would be willing to help me for the French implementation. Do you have any objections against the template (could it break something? slow the wiki down?) or input, thoughts, ...? Are there more templates besides the 5 I already altered, where I should pay attention to? 
Greetz, [[Image:Zai_signature.png|45px]] '''[[User:Zai Lynch|Lynch]]''' ([[User talk:Zai Lynch|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Zai Lynch|contribs]]) 00:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

:I've given a lot of thought to slaves in the past (there was a time I wanted a centralized function/constant/event description lookup for the "Also..." section). The correct way to implement them is to have a slave for each letter, the advantage is that slaves can have slaves. If implemented properly the cost is very small. The problem however is that you have to be conscious of the format. If you want to change the format you have to change the entire DB. I believe the best solution is to version each of the entries. Now at this point you need to take a step back and ask "Am I reinventing the wheel?" And the answer is "Yes". Essentially what you want is a database where you can feed it a key and get the stored value pair.

:There is of course another solution to this problem. Make all the Categories smart so they can be included (like the PRIM_* flags), and pass it a parameter that tells it to only return the foreign language category name you specify OR you could make a subpage like we do for the translation version (which would be really smart) and just have the lookup table there.

:Anywho there are my initial thoughts on this. Last time I checked MW executes both sides of a conditional, so you need to make it so what is inside the conditional is not the template but just the name of the template (so it only executes text and not a template). -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 01:42, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

::::Just to make sure that we're on the same page: I meant one DB (or X slaves) for each language. Not one DB for all languages. The German templates would only call the German DB, French only French, etc. So the maximum else-if depth got an upper bound at the count of LSL cats (worst case, when every cat has a translation other than cat/ISO-CODE) which seems to be something between 100 and 110.

::By putting the conditional around the name of the template, when the test fails it evaluates Template:/dev/null ... which does nothing, and with MediaWiki 1.12 template parameters aren't evaluated until they are first used by the template; so in this case, they are never evaluated. It gets us around the ugly problem of conditional templates getting called needlessly.

::Historically I've used Template:! instead of /dev/null, for the only reason I hadn't gotten around to making the /dev/null template. This of course had it's own problems (specifically that it inserted a | (pipe character)). I'll probably start converting things over to /dev/null when I do template updates.

== Question about [[Template:Multi-lang]] ==
Heyas =) 
I was trying to add the new ''version'' feature to the [[Template:Help/de|help template]] and stumbled upon a difficulty where I hoped you could help me with... I made a testpage at [[User:Zai Lynch/Sandbox/MLtest/de]] but it acts weird... when i make a change to [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/MLtest/version]] then the box is displayed at the test page. When I just edit and save the test page (without changing anything) it eats up the language bar. It acts somehow unexpectedly/random. I don't really know why it is... (o.O) Any ideas?

== LSL Category Localization Template ==

Heyas! =) 
It's me again... I wanted to ask for feedback/input on these two templates: [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/de|German]], [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/fr|French]]. It would be supposed to easily provide unified localized LSL cats so translators wouldn't accidentally connect an article to a wrong category when they'd choose another translation for the same word. I implemented a small test version in [[Template:LSL Function/de]], [[Template:LSL Event/de]], [[Template:LSL Constant/de]], [[Template:LSLC/de]] and [[Template:LSLGC/de]]. I tried about 5 different ways of implementing the template itself (without database-slaves) but they all failed due to either wiki limitations or parser function bugs (it worked well in the sandbox wiki). I'd like to try it in the German localization (can't break much content there at the moment...) and in case it works out fine, Gally would be willing to help me for the French implementation. Do you have any objections against the template (could it break something? slow the wiki down?) or input, thoughts, ...? Are there more templates besides the 5 I already altered, where I should pay attention to? 
Greetz, [[Image:Zai_signature.png|45px]] '''[[User:Zai Lynch|Lynch]]''' ([[User talk:Zai Lynch|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Zai Lynch|contribs]]) 00:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

:I've given a lot of thought to slaves in the past (there was a time I wanted a centralized function/constant/event description lookup for the "Also..." section). The correct way to implement them is to have a slave for each letter, the advantage is that slaves can have slaves. If implemented properly the cost is very small. The problem however is that you have to be conscious of the format. If you want to change the format you have to change the entire DB. I believe the best solution is to version each of the entries. Now at this point you need to take a step back and ask "Am I reinventing the wheel?" And the answer is "Yes". Essentially what you want is a database where you can feed it a key and get the stored value pair.

:There is of course another solution to this problem. Make all the Categories smart so they can be included (like the PRIM_* flags), and pass it a parameter that tells it to only return the foreign language category name you specify OR you could make a subpage like we do for the translation version (which would be really smart) and just have the lookup table there.

:Anywho there are my initial thoughts on this. Last time I checked MW executes both sides of a conditional, so you need to make it so what is inside the conditional is not the template but just the name of the template (so it only executes text and not a template). -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 01:42, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

== Question about [[Template:Multi-lang]] ==
Heyas =) 
I was trying to add the new ''version'' feature to the [[Template:Help/de|help template]] and stumbled upon a difficulty where I hoped you could help me with... I made a testpage at [[User:Zai Lynch/Sandbox/MLtest/de]] but it acts weird... when i make a change to [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/MLtest/version]] then the box is displayed at the test page. When I just edit and save the test page (without changing anything) it eats up the language bar. It acts somehow unexpectedly/random. I don't really know why it is... (o.O) Any ideas?

Strife, I was wondering if you'd mind if I took the idea from the grids and downloads list that you have and turned it into a template since I know of a few places (my userpage for one :) ) where it could be useful and I didn't just want to copy off the code especially without your permission.

== LSL Category Localization Template ==

Heyas! =) 
It's me again... I wanted to ask for feedback/input on these two templates: [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/de|German]], [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/fr|French]]. It would be supposed to easily provide unified localized LSL cats so translators wouldn't accidentally connect an article to a wrong category when they'd choose another translation for the same word. I implemented a small test version in [[Template:LSL Function/de]], [[Template:LSL Event/de]], [[Template:LSL Constant/de]], [[Template:LSLC/de]] and [[Template:LSLGC/de]]. I tried about 5 different ways of implementing the template itself (without database-slaves) but they all failed due to either wiki limitations or parser function bugs (it worked well in the sandbox wiki). I'd like to try it in the German localization (can't break much content there at the moment...) and in case it works out fine, Gally would be willing to help me for the French implementation. Do you have any objections against the template (could it break something? slow the wiki down?) or input, thoughts, ...? Are there more templates besides the 5 I already altered, where I should pay attention to? 
Greetz, [[Image:Zai_signature.png|45px]] '''[[User:Zai Lynch|Lynch]]''' ([[User talk:Zai Lynch|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Zai Lynch|contribs]]) 00:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

:I've given a lot of thought to slaves in the past (there was a time I wanted a centralized function/constant/event description lookup for the "Also..." section). The correct way to implement them is to have a slave for each letter, the advantage is that slaves can have slaves. If implemented properly the cost is very small. The problem however is that you have to be conscious of the format. If you want to change the format you have to change the entire DB. I believe the best solution is to version each of the entries. Now at this point you need to take a step back and ask "Am I reinventing the wheel?" And the answer is "Yes". Essentially what you want is a database where you can feed it a key and get the stored value pair.

:There is of course another solution to this problem. Make all the Categories smart so they can be included (like the PRIM_* flags), and pass it a parameter that tells it to only return the foreign language category name you specify OR you could make a subpage like we do for the translation version (which would be really smart) and just have the lookup table there.

:Anywho there are my initial thoughts on this. Last time I checked MW executes both sides of a conditional, so you need to make it so what is inside the conditional is not the template but just the name of the template (so it only executes text and not a template). -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 01:42, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

::Thx for the feedback =)
::@Slaves: I didn't wanted to use any slaves for this. My goal was, to have all translations stored on one page so that only that one needed to be localized. Unfortunatly, the else-if chain exceeded the maximum depth allowed by the mediawiki. So I tried to break the chain into two chains and store a variable value in case the first chain didn't give a result, so the second chain starts. This [http://wiki.zeitenwerk.de/index.php/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/de works in the sandbox] but not over here due to [[Help:Known_caveats_in_parser_functions|the nasty bug you mentioned as well]]. I also tried a recursive process where the template called itself with a value but the Wiki complained again (it doesn't like loops...). After two other work arounds failed too, I had to create the slaves to do the job... But I'm not really happy with that solution since it splits my database into 2. Splitting it further (for every letter) would erase one of the benefits: easy localization. I think the database (around 100 terms in worst case, usually less cause not all terms need a translation) is to small to justify that.
::The smart cat version is a way I thought about too (and Gally had a similar idea to unify categories on translated subpages), but the problem with it would be again that it is a decentralized implementation. Someone who wants to begin with a new translation of the portal would have to edit all smart-cat pages instead of only one (or two) database pages. So I would consider this method in case it notably decreases the load on the Wiki. I don't know how computationally intensive it is for the Wiki to check the current database slaves. In case it's to much, I'd like the subpage-lookup best. With some preperation (collecting translations for more than one language, like done with the [[Mentor_Linguist_Scribe_Translation_Project/HP_L10N|HP L10n]]) and then add them all when we got maybe 5 or 6 languages.

:::You would actually want to use "switch" instead of "ifeq", that said, you don't want to have a huge switch statement, it's not good for the wiki. Huge templates take a long time to execute (take a look at the templates on [[LSO]], they take so long to rebuild that the connection times out and the wiki has a fit). Anyway you cut it, to add a new language would require duplicating the slave DB. It would not be fun. You may gain some centralization by having the Slave DB but to keep it from bringing the wiki to it's knees you won't have much. If we decide to forgo the centralization altogether and go with a system like the article versioning, we can solve several problems all at once that would have popped up as a result of having it in a DB. If we do it properly we can set it up like multi-lang with the articles in need of translation. Sure it would be a bear to setup for each language but the alternatives just don't scale or require maintenance to allow it to scale. -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 04:25, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

::::Just to make sure that we're on the same page: I meant one DB (or X slaves) for each language. Not one DB for all languages. The German templates would only call the German DB, French only French, etc. So the maximum else-if depth got an upper bound at the count of LSL cats (worst case, when every cat has a translation other than cat/ISO-CODE) which seems to be something between 100 and 110.
::::That beeing said, I got to agree about the [[LSO]] article. I also checked the L10n lookup database and got to say that it needs like forever to load... Might be since I included it a hundret times in the table to verify that all translations work right and (since most of the translations are missing) it needs to run the else-if chain till the end. So it would only be included about 4 times on an average article I guess. Load would then be roughly ((current load)/100)*4 + (load of other templates).
::::So I think we'll go with the smart-cat-subpage-lookup? I'd then need a complete list of LSL cats to hand them out to linguists to translate. I ''think'' the [[User:Zai_Lynch/Sandbox/Template:LSL_Cat_L10n/de|table]] should be complete but I'm not 100% sure. For implementation we'd need to take care of the input format. French translations use "cat/fr" as input while Japanese and German translations just use "cat". So we'd either need to add these differences at the subpages (bad imho) or make the template unify the input before passing it to the lookup (better imho).

:::::It won't be ((current load)/100)*4 + (load of other templates), it will be (current load)*4 + (load of other templates); there is no speed gain to my knowledge to a big switch statement (that I know of), it's O(N), not O(1). You probably don't want more than 25 items per slave, properly configured, it won't be much more costly then the slaves. -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 01:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

::::::Currently, the template is included about 100 times in the table. At an average article, it would be only included maybe 3, 4 or 5 times. So it would be ((the load of the 100 includes table) / 100) * (number of inclusions in the article). That is what I meant. Not the else-if depth or the switch.

LOL. That really makes my day. As to the inspiration... I got sick of having to manually double embed templates to avoid the call cost. I had been wanting a null/empty template so I could have an if on the template name and so nothing would get included... but then I'm like, why not a variable template? So I start to write it and I'm then like? What to name it... I know "Template".

I may be MIA for the next month. I. My current computer is inadequeate for SL as this is my backup, my main computer died in August. Here's a glimpse of my ToDo list: Get a job, find a new place to live, get a new computer.
It may seem that Strife is MIA, well Strife's computer died several months ago... then the LCD on the backup failed... then the CRT on the backup decided the only resolution it wants to run at is 800x600 at 60hz. So Strife really can't do much until the computer gets rebuilt. To add to that, Strife will soon be moving to a yet unknown location. While a new computer would be nice, it's not a wise investment at the moment. Did I forget to mention the need for a job? -- So things are pretty stressed.

I'm an immigrant from URU. Was in all 3 of it's beta's.

Wiki Gnome (causing drama isn't why I'm here).

I have a webpage but haven't updated it in a few months...

Wiki's are the way of the future when it comes to making documentation Ad-hoc but eventually become static as graffiti grows with popularity as a way of controlling it.

also contribute to some other wiki's
[http://history.secondserver.net/index.php/Main_Page History Wiki]
[http://www.AviSynth.org/BlindWanderer AviSynth:BlindWanderer]

When it comes to writing I tend to go towards concise. A short accurate description is better then a long equally accurate description; less to get confused with, easier to find the important information (because it is ''all'' important).

JS Uralia: correct and cut to the chase

<div style="float:right;"><videoflash>hTIsIjZCvHk</videoflash></div>{{RightToc|clear:right;}}

== MIA ==

I may be MIA for the next month. I. My current computer is inadequeate for SL as this is my backup, my main computer died in August. Here's a glimpse of my ToDo list: Get a job, find a new place to live, get a new computer.
It may seem that Strife is MIA, well Strife's computer died several months ago... then the LCD on the backup failed... then the CRT on the backup decided the only resolution it wants to run at is 800x600 at 60hz. So Strife really can't do much until the computer gets rebuilt. To add to that, Strife will soon be moving to a yet unknown location. While a new computer would be nice, it's not a wise investment at the moment. Did I forget to mention the need for a job? -- So things are pretty stressed.

It's moving day, and this may be the last you hear from me for a while. Going to dismantle the computer last. -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 01:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

==About Me ==
I'm an immigrant from URU. Was in all 3 of it's beta's.

Wiki Gnome (causing drama isn't why I'm here).

I have a webpage but haven't updated it in a few months...

Wiki's are the way of the future when it comes to making documentation Ad-hoc but eventually become static as graffiti grows with popularity as a way of controlling it.

also contribute to some other wiki's
[http://history.secondserver.net/index.php/Main_Page History Wiki]
[http://www.AviSynth.org/BlindWanderer AviSynth:BlindWanderer]

When it comes to writing I tend to go towards concise. A short accurate description is better then a long equally accurate description; less to get confused with, easier to find the important information (because it is ''all'' important).

JS Uralia: user note

:'''Please note:''' [http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/08/25/innovation-award-winners-announced/ This user was awarded "Best Community Organizer" in 2007], and here is [[Linden Lab Innovation Awards|his mention as a runner-up in the 2008 "Best Documentation" category:]] "Last year's winner, Strife Onizuka, continued to be insanely prolific, with thousands of edits over the past year. The degree to which he has bent MediaWiki to his will to make the templates that underlie hundreds of pages are as impressive as they are arcane. Anyone learning LSL is almost certainly indebted to Strife's work in some way." I don't know Strife other than through his work on the wiki, jira, and forums.

== MIA ==

I may be MIA for the next month. I. My current computer is inadequeate for SL as this is my backup, my main computer died in August. Here's a glimpse of my ToDo list: Get a job, find a new place to live, get a new computer.
It may seem that Strife is MIA, well Strife's computer died several months ago... then the LCD on the backup failed... then the CRT on the backup decided the only resolution it wants to run at is 800x600 at 60hz. So Strife really can't do much until the computer gets rebuilt. To add to that, Strife will soon be moving to a yet unknown location. While a new computer would be nice, it's not a wise investment at the moment. Did I forget to mention the need for a job? -- So things are pretty stressed.

It's moving day, and this may be the last you hear from me for a while. Going to dismantle the computer last. -- '''[[User:Strife_Onizuka|Strife]]''' ([[User talk:Strife_Onizuka|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Strife_Onizuka|contribs]]) 01:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

==About Me ==
I'm an immigrant from URU. Was in all 3 of it's beta's.

Wiki Gnome (causing drama isn't why I'm here).

I have a webpage but haven't updated it in a few months...

Wiki's are the way of the future when it comes to making documentation Ad-hoc but eventually become static as graffiti grows with popularity as a way of controlling it.

also contribute to some other wiki's
[http://history.secondserver.net/index.php/Main_Page History Wiki]
[http://www.AviSynth.org/BlindWanderer AviSynth:BlindWanderer]

When it comes to writing I tend to go towards concise. A short accurate description is better then a long equally accurate description; less to get confused with, easier to find the important information (because it is ''all'' important).

New features:
* Group voice chat is available. This enables group voice conversation between avatars all across the grid, no matter where avatars are located in relation to each other.
* Group voice chat is available for both "formal" Second Life groups and ad hoc groups (as is the case for text chat).
* Group voice chat for "formal" Second Life groups can be initiated by clicking on the Groups tab in the Chatterbox and double-clicking on the group with which you'd like to chat.
* Group voice chat with two or more friends can be initiated by clicking on the Friends tab in the Chatterbox, selecting multiple friends from the list, and clicking the "Call/IM" button.
* If you were speaking in a spatial voice channel prior to joining a group voice chat, you will return to the same spatial voice channel after leaving the group voice chat.
* The Talk button on the Voice tab contains a volume indicator (a dot to the right of the button text "Talk") that shows how loudly YOU are speaking. Green indicates a normal volume, red indicates too loud a volume (a standard across speaking indicators for voice).
* Volume control and mute options are disabled on the "Near Me" tab in the Chatterbox when your own name is selected in the list of speakers.

Known Issues
* Users do not see a notification or visible invitation to group voice conversations. We expect this to be fixed in the next release, so users can accept or reject calls and receive feedback that they've successfully joined.
* Private voice chat with a single other user is not yet implemented.

* Group voice chat is available. This enables group voice conversation between avatars all across the grid, no matter where avatars are located in relation to each other.
* Group voice chat is available for both "formal" Second Life groups and ad hoc groups (as is the case for text chat).
* Group voice chat for "formal" Second Life groups can be initiated by clicking on the Groups tab in the Chatterbox and double-clicking on the group with which you'd like to chat.
* Group voice chat with two or more friends can be initiated by clicking on the Friends tab in the Chatterbox, selecting multiple friends from the list, and clicking the "Call/IM" button.
* If you were speaking in a spatial voice channel prior to joining a group voice chat, you will return to the same spatial voice channel after leaving the group voice chat.
* The Talk button on the Voice tab contains a volume indicator (a dot to the right of the button text "Talk") that shows how loudly YOU are speaking. Green indicates a normal volume, red indicates too loud a volume (a standard across speaking indicators for voice).
* Volume control and mute options are disabled on the "Near Me" tab in the Chatterbox when your own name is selected in the list of speakers.

Known Issues
* Users do not see a notification or visible invitation to group voice conversations. We expect this to be fixed in the next release, so users can accept or reject calls and receive feedback that they've successfully joined.
* Private voice chat with a single other user is not yet implemented.
