LibOpenMetaverse Release 0.6.0

Baba — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:08:24 GMT

The OpenMetaverse Ninjas are proud to announce the release of the the OpenMetaverse Library 0.6.0.

There are many changes since our last release 8 months ago.

This is the first official release with our new name "LibOpenMetaverse".

The library has been broken out into several assemblies: OpenMetaverse.DLL - The core library which contains all the client functionality for accessing the Second Life, OpenSim and Simian servers. OpenMetaverseTypes.dll - A collection of many types specific to 3d virtual worlds which were previously included in the core library. OpenMetaverse.StructuredData.dll - an OSD (aka LLSD) and Json Library for structuring data with loose typing useful for serialization of data over the capabilities system OpenMetaverse.Http.dll - a CAPS Client and Server used by the OpenMetaverse library and Simian

This is major release that contains over 60 new features and bug fixes since our previous release in July 2007!

Some of the highlights included in this release:

Online API Documentation is now Searchable
StructuredData and Types have been split into their own Assemblies (Be sure to add a Reference to both the core library OpenMetaverse.dll AND the Types library OpenMetaverseTypes.dll)
The Main client Class "SecondLife" has been renamed to "GridClient", Previously instantiating the class you would use SecondLife Client = new

SecondLife; Now its GridClient Client = new GridClient();

Our Types library no longer use the Prefix LL, ie : LLColor is now just Color, LLVector3 is now just Vector3, LLUUID is now UUID;

There are other breaking API changes since 0.5.0, but the above listed changes will get your project upgrade jump-started.

New servers usher in a new high-technology era

Baba — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 05:51:26 GMT

OpenMetaverse is gettting some new servers to handle all the cool stuff we want to do. Recently we've run into some performance problems with the current server and that required us to turn off ViewVC until we move to some better hardware.

After the move we'll be setting up some new services including a Jira issue tracker and TeamCity continuous integration(automated builds and testing).

This should happen within the next two to three weeks.

Reverse-engineering the CRC function for UpdateInventoryItem

Baba — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:03:18 GMT

This article was written in September of 2006 by libsecondlife developer bushing. It has been salvaged from an old database and presented here for your reading pleasure

I've always been a big fan of IDA Pro, and have often just disassembled random binaries with the thing to see what it could come up with. When I saw the bounty posted, I sprung at the chance to actually do something useful with it.

As you may have guessed, I do my primary development on a PowerPC Mac, which means I end up running IDA under VirtualPC (which sucks) or on a x86 Linux box running VMWare (which sucks a little less). I ended up having to borrow a Windows-running laptop to do this, though.

Part 1: CRC table

IDA 5.0 took a while to load up "Second Life.exe" (v1.10.5.1), but it lets you start playing while it continues to process in the background. I gave it a 20-minute head start before I started to poke around.

One nice thing about trying to take apart CRC or hash functions (MD5, SHA, etc), is that they all use tables (of various sizes) which you are guaranteed to find in a binary that uses that function (assuming there's no packing or encryption -- which is the case here). CRC32's table is contained in libsecondlife in SecondLife.cs:

private readonly static uint[] crcLookup = new uint[] { 0x00000000, 0x77073096, 0xEE0E612C, 0x990951BA, 0x076DC419, 0x706AF48F, 0xE963A535, 0x9E6495A3,

New Binary Release and Documentation

Baba — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:50:17 GMT

Hot on the tails of the libsecondlife 0.4.0 release we would like to announce the availability of a pre-compiled binary version of the library for those who do not want to go through the trouble of setting up the development environment with the source code. The binary release comes in two flavors. There is a zipped release and windows installer. Both are currently very basic containing only the library and several example applications. Get it at http://lib.openmetaverse.org/builds/

We also have all new updated documentation. Check it out at http://lib.openmetaverse.org/docs/trunk/. Created using Microsoft's Sandcastle tool this new this updated documentation page is easier to generate so it will be updated much more often than the previous docs.

Both of these updates are thanks to jradford who has been doing a great job keeping the library running smooth.
