Now using automated scripts is still against the terms and conditions of this site... But back in the good ol' days I did make some scripts that helped people out...

I will find the old coding out for these 2 programs and get them hosted again on http://www.indagalaxy.co.uk

These will be offered as free programs for anyone to use. Also just to let you all know about SL Satellite..

The software is still free so if you have the program then by all means use it.. But I am devising a way to re-make it without the strain on Skylords.com...

Also in the newest version there well be lots of new features.. But please bare in mind that due to some specialy request and some projects that I am working on in my spare time that the new version will take some time to chuck together.

I will offer the new version for free aswell... or as a round upgrade? Will speak with Iiri on that one :-)

Yes, while active scripts are banned - passive scripts, which submit absolutely no information to the site, will be in general allowed at this point. For a clarification regarding what I mean - a Firefox extension or a Greasemonkey script which merely sits around and only gathers information from the page - is a passive script. In the future specific limits may be applied regarding which actions might be performed on said data, but I'd rather keep such limitations to a minimum myself . So anyway - you could also change the content or layout of the page - but only as long as you use only content which you have stored on your own computer or another server, along with the content of the current page. And example might be making a list of all clan members somewhere on your computer or remote site, and every time a post is viewed by one such member, a user defined style is applied to their post, turning it bright red, or something.

The general rule is this - scripts may not query the server's content. In the future an API for scripts to use may be provided, but any and all use of hooks or calls not designated for that purpose (such as AJAX calls) isn't allowed either.

It's a technical explanation, but we have enough people here who can understand it, and we trust that to all the programmers here it makes sense . We don't want to cripple another server .


Edit: if DAngel's scripts don't access the server, please do not hesitate to use them - they're fine .

they don't. if i remember right the scrips just do what people do manually looks at the imputed coords and if they are within nearby it just highlights them.

Sounds good to me . It's a O(n^2) problem, no? (double for loop).

I'm pretty sure it would be ok, but I just wanted to run it past you. I'm developing an SL tool suite, it will have a bunch of SL tools with a browser element that will open up to SL. It may parse data from the page but won't be putting data onto the page (like auto-filling text fields or something). Does that sound ok?

so basically as long as it only uses information we ourselves already has and doesnt actually ASK if thats the right word for information we dont already possess?

no, i think he means as long as it doesn't change something... EG: give an assault command to attack a planet

hmmm... what about the SL news reader?
