IRC

A lot of our communication happens on IRC. The general libopenmetaverse chat channel is #libomv EFNet. This is not strictly developer oriented, and often is running a live relay between our headquarters in Second Life and the IRC channel. For application developers, library developers, or any code related chat please use #libsl-dev on EFNet.

  • IRC - A short IRC tutorial.

Applications / Examples Tutorials/Docs

Examples included with library

  • Included in the libsecondlife/examples directory are many working examples of most common features implemented in the library.

ghettosl

  • C# console interface for SecondLife
  • This program utilizes libsecondlife for connecting to and performing several basic functions in SecondLife.

SLeek

  • Text-only (no 3D graphics) GUI interface for Second Life
  • SLeek is intentioned as a relatively lightweight SL client (since there will be no 3D engine). Currently in alpha.

Feathertail Project

  • A library and client to make developing text only clients and NPC/bots for Second Life easier.
  • The Feathertail projects goal is the creation of a number of subsystems including object tracking, client side scripting, and command interpretors to make it easier to develop text only interfaces to SecondLife, as well making it easier to build NPC/bots.

ObjectTracking with Feathertail

  • A short tutorial on how to use the ObjectOverlord from the Feathertail project to do object tracking.

Second Life Packet Layout

  • Secondlife packet layout, message format and packet accounting
