Publisher's Description: |
SLiteChat (pronounced "slight-chat") is a text-only view for Second Life which is focused on in-world IM support.
What it is:
SLiteChat is a lightweight client which allows you to connect to the Second Life system and perform local chat and instant messaging with avatars in-world.
What it is not:
SLiteChat is not intended to be a fully-functional in-world viewer for Second Life. If you are looking for that, check out instead the Second Life Third Party Viewer Directory or the Second Life wiki.
Motivation
Why another text-only client? Well, for one, this is something I've been wanting to do since I first got into Second Life. One of the issues was not having to invoke the fat client (viewer) with all the wiz-bang OpenGL stuff just to make a simple IM to my friends in-world. Secondly, I love open source software, and this is my way of giving back. Thirdly, I want to understand the SL codebase and this was a great way to accomplish that!
Architecture
I based the UI architecture around a new C++ library I created called LLChatLib. This library provides a façade class which wraps and hides LL libraries used to create the main open source viewer. The libraries I extracted are:
llcommon
llinventory
llmath
llmessage
llvfs
llxml
with a few class files taken from the main viewer code (newview). The idea is you have only one easy to use interface which allows you to connect to the in-world chat/IM facility. The UI itself is a light wrapper around LLChatLib. It contains a listview window of friends, a local chat window and tabs for any IM conversations you create. SLiteChat runs under Microsoft Windows XP+, GNU/Linux and Macintosh OS/X.
