LSL Protocol

Script protocols and known chat channels

Some times, scripts in Second Life send messages to one another to exchange information or coordinate behavior. The rules for that conversation are a protocol. Being able to say "/1show" or "/1hug lee" are examples.

Such protocols use a common chat channel. The examples above use channel 1. They could just as easily have used any other number, but a user (and other objects) have to have some way to find the correct number.

Some protocols, such as combat systems, are quite complicated and could be better documented. This page can be used to help prevent conflicts and allow multiple programmers to coordinate the protocol definitions.

Protocols can also be note card systems and systems that use object names.

Protocol list

Add a protocol here if it is widely used, or might be sometime in the future.

A protocol in this list should also have its own pages where the protocol is defined in some detail.

Name Creator Description
Cool Hud Henri Beauchamp Universal Hud protocol.
ListMessage Anonymous Send and receive lists, non-lists, non-results, verb-not-found, and partially evaluated Polish expressions.
LockMeister System Kyrah Abattoir Used to coordinate different parts of bondage toys.

P Vendor Linked Messages API & Environment Zep Palen Allows an owner of the P Vendor system to develope custom vendors and use the API for input/output
Script API Nexii Malthus A protocol to provide a useful communication layer between LSL scripts and supported clients, as well as a useful and purposeful feature set. (Vertical Life and Plywood clients currently)
LSL Protocol/Ganymedia OpenMAIP v1.0 Specification Ganymede Ceriaptrix Note: Specification is presently incomplete. Ganymedia OpenMAIP (Metaverse Application Internetworking Protocol) OpenMAIP provides a common chat message exchange protocol for script applications to follow, and for them to advertise their available functions to other external scripts (as well as provide controlled access to closed functions via challenge-response authentication). OpenMAIP also provides an optional cryptography layer. It supercedes the Ganymedia Open Cryptographic Exchange Protocol (GOCEP), and is backwards-compatible with it.

Known chat channels

This list is intended to reduce the number of scripts using the same chat channel number. Please try and keep them in sequence.

-426956 Ganymede Ceriaptrix Ganymedia Open Cryptographic Exchange Protocol (GOCEP): Key Exchange Channel. Used primarily by Ganymedia Kryptonaut for most operations. Exchanges are in undelimited hexadecimal octets, in RFC 791 Appendix B network byte order. RFC 2631/RFC 4419 Diffie-Hellman Key Encryption Key (KEK) client-server and peer-to-peer public key exchange. Content Encryption Keys (CEKs) are wrap-encrypted via a RFC 4345 compliant IETF-ID Kaukonen ARCFOUR cipher implementation. Blocks split across n messages, where 0 <= n < 256; sequence number n is declared in the first bytefield of each message. The payload of each message is 256 octets (512 hex characters) in maximum length. Note: Region-wide messages used.
-426957 Ganymede Ceriaptrix Ganymedia Open Cryptographic Exchange Protocol (GOCEP): Encrypted Messaging Channel. Used primarily by Ganymedia Kryptonaut during SecureMessage (2-participant cryptstream chat), SecureGroupMessage (multi-participant cryptstream chat), ServerRelay (shared cryptstream server-side relay) and NotInZindra (Adult Content Policy circumvention bus encrypt/decrypt) modes of the state model. Exchanges are in undelimited hexadecimal octets, in RFC 791 Appendix B network byte order. Once a Content Encryption Key (CEK) has been negotiated via the RFC 2631/RFC 4419 Diffie-Hellman protocol on channel -426956, message data is exchanged client-server and/or peer-to-peer, via a RFC 4345 compliant IETF-ID Kaukonen ARCFOUR cipher implementation. Blocks split across n messages, where 0 <= n < 256; sequence number n is declared in the first bytefield of each message. The payload of each message is 256 octets (512 hex characters) in maximum length. Note: Region-wide messages used.
