Introduction

 

This module provides two major areas of functionality to the simulator.

• it adds a range of new commands to the console
• it provides a scripting "engine", which grants users the ability to execute MRM addins.

 

Scripting interface

Creating an object containing a MRM Addin script is much like creating any other scripted object, the only difference is that the "script" does not contain any code to be executed, it merely declares what pre-loaded addin should be attached to the prim, and the engine will take care of the rest.

e.g. instead of:

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello world");
    }
}
 

simly type:

//MRM:Addin HelloWorld?.addin

This is very similar to the way MRM is entered, except that no code is entered, the script only contains this single line, and any other text in the script is simply ignored.

 

The above example, assumes that the administrator has installed the HelloWorld?.addin, if the addin hasn't been installed, an error message will be displayed in the debugging console of the viewer, stating:

Primitive: Could not load MRM Addin. HelloWorld?.addin

 

Command interface

The module provides a number of new commands on the region console for managing the addin registry. MRMAddin relies on the Mono.Addins engine already used by OpenSim? (Hence the name of the module).

 

Almost all of the commands available on the mono commandline tool mautil has been implemented. All MRMAddin commands start with the keyword mrmaddin.

mrmaddin help
