Talk:Linden Scripting Language
sites its sources
I didn't see this "This article or section does not cite its references or sources." seems like all the details are in the external links. maybe we should remove this tag... --Msfwebdude 02:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Detail
Well anyways this needs to be more detailed??? I thought it woul be like a programming tutorial.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Aceofspades1217 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Read WP:NOT wikipedia is not a how to guide. The Lindens already have a Scripting language wiki that covers the how to.--Crossmr 02:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Im sorry, I understand. It could use a little more detail though.
Question when is mono coming to SL??? I keep seeing q1 2006 but i havent herd that it is out Aceofspades 17:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- A little more detail isn't a problem, as long as it doesn't turn into a how-to. As far as when mono is coming, I've no idea, maybe check their forums or wiki?--Crossmr 17:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Worm news?
Some information related to the recent "spinning rings" worm[1] would be appreciated. How does one "rez" a new object, refer to other objects, etc.? Are there any restrictions on the replication of objects? Any restrictions on the computing power of scripts? (See the article on ZZT-oop for a pretty good summary of that kind of thing in a different scripting language.) --Quuxplusone 04:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- If you read the scripting wiki [2], you'll see that the majority of functions delay the script for x amount of seconds- usually just a fraction of a second.
- the llRezObject() function is used in these grey-goo attacks.
- There is an "electric fence" of sorts that restricts the malicious usage of this function to perform a DOS attack.
- As far as I am aware, Linden Lab have not released official statements regarding the technical restrictions/limitations of the fence. It's simply a case of experiment and try not to blow up the grid.
- Anything not in the inventory of an object can be referred to by it's UUID- a unique identifier.
- I did notice, that unlike the usual self-replicating objects, the majority of the sonic rings did not contain any objects- only a single script.
- While this statement should be taken with a pinch of salt, it is my belief if this was a "traditional" self-replicating object DOS attack, it did so by the ability for an object to be sent content remotely.
- The coverage in the media of this event is laughable, since far worse DOS attacks have occurred over Second Life's history, and the real-world media (as opposed to media solely concerned with SL) haven't covered them at all. I also find it ridiculous that it's called a worm.
