@Serendipity - To bridge with SL, a Jabber solution would still need the ‘parallel’ avatar on the Linden Lab grid to be logged in, so I don’t see how this would change anything.

Forgive me if I have too much ignorance of the internals. But it seems to me that a better solution might bypass normal SL compatible IM altogether. Why not instead route message through Jabber to any two or more avatars wearing some item that had a viable web connection to a jabber transfer client of some kind. It seem that much of the complication of what you describe comes from needing to persuade the remote systems of your in world presence. This shouldn’t be necessary for just good communication. Also the traffic to/from the webservice could be SSL encrypted. Is there something that would make this not viable?

Um hi!

In Second Life DJ’s bring in their voices all the time using the DJ setup info at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Disc_Jockey#Other_Settings Why not just fireup some pipes from a local icecast stream run run thru a speech-to-text app or text-to-speech like festival, or speex.

As of this date, with testing, this module seems to be no longer operational. I am filing the info at the forge. This is under OpenSim Server 0.6.4.9395

Hi Whitestar. Because of limitations in our current module system, the PSMB had to replace the chat and IM modules. However, the ones that PSMB supplies are almost identical with the ones bundled with OpenSim, and so normal IM and chat should continue to work.

If for some reason this isn’t the case, then a bug report at

http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/psimb/

would be appreciated.

Hey Justin, Another wonderful enhancement for OS Systems. While OSG is doing the update, I’m catching up on things and decided to implement this, so that I can stay in touch with some friends in another grid.

But it raised a question as I went through the ReadMe for it. Because under [Chat] & [Messaging] (shown below) have to be changed, does this effectively cancel our internal working IM system ? Is there some method by which we can have Both the IM’s from our Actual Grid & have the bridge operational ? Sorry, but I cannot test right now as the OSGrid is in the DB Rebuild Mode and down @ this time.

[Chat]
enabled = false;
[Messaging]
; InstantMessageModule = InstantMessageModule
; — NEXT LINE to use Parallel Selves Message Bridge —
InstantMessageModule = PSInstantMessageModule
