Problems with LSL

Here in SecondSolutions we are having to face a new problem with our management system, the limitations of the LSL language and some problems related to the sim communication architecture.
Due to this limitations the only way to implement the inter-sim communication is through a little tricky workaround. And one of the other problems we are facing is the lack of a system to know the uuid of a object at a given time, we have to build our own kind of “dns” system for knowing what is the uuid of any given object in any sim, and doing this with the minimum user interaction.
Some progress has already been made with this dns system, but it will still take some time until it’s fully implemented because it will also handle all the inter-sim communications and will implement an API for other projects to use this systems.
The other problem we faced is even more tricky to make a workaround, this problem is the imposibility for LSL to write to a notecard, so if you want to save any configuration data in real time… unless you use a external server there is currently no way for doing this. The way w use to go throught this, well basicly we will implement a PHP/MySQL interface that interacts with the scripts, and that stores, prepares, and delivers all the configuration and all the data we need. We are also creating a system to by pass this problem without the PHP interface but this isn’t very clear for now.
