[opensource-dev] Unjust Banning of residents?

2011-08-16 Thread malachi
Violation: Third Party Viewer Usage
You are connecting to the grid with a viewer that is not in the third 
party viewer directory.


However...

A viewer does not need to be on the Third Party Viewer Directory in
order for development or usage of it to be compliant with the Third 
Party Viewer Policy (see Policy on Third-Party Viewers | Second Life) 
and the Terms of Service. While I am sure you are well aware of this, it 
can also be deduced through common sense that the open source program 
(Snowstorm, Snowglobe, etc) would not be able to exist in an environment 
where every personal compile had to be listed on the TPVD before it 
could even begin to undergo any form of live quality assurance 
processes.

Long story short, unless there have been recent changes to the Terms of 
Service that I am unaware of, or if there are relevant sections that I 
have missed that indicate that a viewer that complies with the Third 
Party Viewer Policy still must be in the Directory to be legitimately 
used, I would request that you provide me with them.

What this means is every single BETA tester for every client on the 
TPVD is at risk of losing their accounts because that compiled version 
of that client is not listed on the TPVD. Each and every Developer who 
has worked so hard to help Linden Lab build their Client into what it is 
is at risk of losing their accounts because each time they recompile the 
source it isn't listed in the TPVD and is now considered a Violation of 
some hidden TOS clause.


I am posting this to this forum because I wanted to get feed back from 
the community. As I myself and a developer who has contributed patches 
to various TPVD Clients and am now finding myself cautious to even use 
these clients source codes to help them. I would like clarification from 
Linden Lab as well as other Developers on this new banning policy that 
is requiring every compiled client that connects to second life to be 
listed in the TPVD.

exactly which is why this message is so disturbing. accounts have been 
terminated from second life for using a viewer not listed in the 
directory.


This email is notification that Linden Lab has terminated
your access to the Second Life virtual world due to severe
or repeated violations of the Second Life Terms of Service
or Community Standards. Your (account name 'xx') and 
alternate Second Life accounts have been
made permanently inaccessible.

I am sure. It was a fresh pull from viewer-development as requested by 
a fellow dev. 3 days later the email came and the accounts were 
terminated.

The point of the matter is, No where does it say that a client MUST BE 
LISTED IN THE TPVD in order to comply with that policy. Yet they are 
banning individuals for using clients not listed in the TPVD.

 conformed to the TPVP, and there wasn't anything else going on that

deleted from their system. Seems to me as if someone at LL has gotten 
ban happy. And with issuing bans for the reason we are discussing is 
just down right idiotic. How can I help develop the OPEN SOURCE client

Curious as to why when looking in the land section of search, if you  
reorder the list of areas too quickly it says you are blocked from  
searching because you have done too many searches. Please try again in a  
few minutes. I only ran one search. all i did was sort by name or by size.  
Shouldn't this be pulling the list and storing it. instead of researching  
each time the list is sorted?

[opensource-dev] [TOS]Question about TOS

2010-12-16 Thread Malachi Prophit
We all had to accept a new TOS stating that the teen grid and the main  
grid were now one grid. However after having my son log into his teen grid  
account we found that he is not on the main grid, instead he is trapped on  
the teen grid. He has no access to the main grid and we have no access to  
him. Not even the ability to see his profile or he see ours.

My question is this, If we had to accept a new TOS that integrated the  
merger of the two grids and the two grids WERE NOT merged, what hidden  
take our souls clause has LL added to the TOS, and shoved down our throats  
this time?

 Not correct.  LGPL code may be linked to other source without having the
 viral effect of requiring that other source also be published as open

 under that license, then those changes (and the original sources) must

[opensource-dev] Enhanced Script Editor Request

2010-10-20 Thread malachi
Of all the developers who are working on the client someone has to be  
smart enough to implement this.

For you windows developers who are using Visual Studio, When you type a  
function name and get to the ( point of the function it pops a tip up  
telling you what is needed to complete this function. I believe it is  
called intellisense. I could be mistaken. Why can we not have the same  
type of script editor? An auto complete type of compiler for the editor.  
As we type in our scripts popups would help us complete what it is we are  
typing. this would increase speed of script writing, help beginners learn  
LSL programming faster, and simplify the process. this is just my  
thoughts. it is already implemented in LSLEditor just figured it could be  
done in the client as well.

Re: [opensource-dev] Enhanced Script Editor Request

2010-10-20 Thread malachi
I didn't mean add something that would allow editing in an external  
program. It is bad enough on older machines to run SL alone. and opening  
multiple programs is not enough. Perhaps tool tips are a bit out of the  
way i agree with others that the tooltip can sometimes be annoying. but  
instead maybe a drop down list at the position of the cursor that allows  
you to pick a function and autocomplete it? and what about user functions?  
string foo(list in,integer index) or something. when you use it it should  
pop up in the drop down list as well. the drop down should not be limited  
to the LL preset functions. real editors do not restrain you to only the  
preset functions.

Re: [opensource-dev] Larger UI Question - Skinning Progress

2010-09-21 Thread malachi
i didnt mean to spur arguments over the ui being good or bad mate. meant  
more or less is there a way to bring back the feel of 1.x clients. i like  
having everything in a pop up floater. not crammed into a bar that forces  
me to keep it there in one spot. i am not downing any of the ui changes. i  
think that the ui changes were done to make it easier for beginning users.  
but after using SL for over 4 years now i dont think i am a beginner. I  
just want my old detached floaters all over my screen in a very messy very  
ugly manner. lol. i suppose it is just time to start working on it and  
stop asking. LL and the others here have already told me that it may be  
possible but is not going to end up in the main viewer. thats fine with  
me. i dont need it to be in the main viewer. i dont use the main viewer. i  
dont trust 3rd party devs and i sure dont trust LL devs. not with a  
prebuilt binary. there is too much risk. so ill compile the latest branch  
myself and work on making my floaters the way i know them from before.  
thanks all.

 at
 what phase is it? Is the entire UI Skinnable and adaptable? or are only  
 the
 colors and feel changeable? Better question is are there any efforts

 the many third-party viewer developers to have created a skinning

 As well, How far along the UI Roadmap is LL? (

 3 separate IRC channels with few positive results.

 My current problem is with the libraries.  VC80 screams about missing
 VC80 boost libraries.  I looked in the libraries folder and found that
 it had VC90 boost libraries (according to the filenames, anyway), so I
 spent an hour installing and configuring VC90 only to find that it is
 almost as broken as VC2010, flooding me with unresolved external
 errors when linking with any non-boost lib.

 So, is there anywhere I can find VC80 boost binaries compatible with
 SnowGlobe? (The prebuilt tarballs that LL provides only come with VC90
 libs.)  If not, how do I get this thing to build?  Which voodoo god must
 I sacrifice my firstborn to?

 Are you sure they work with snowglobe/snowstorm?

 Any boost libs used MUST be compiled with SECURE_SCL=0 in order to be
 compatable with the secondlife source code compile options, and
 depending on the version of boost /winSDK you may also need to add
 SECURE_STL=0 and neither of these are default options so my past
 experience has shown the libs from boostpro do not work for SL.

 What is wrong with the libs provided with snowglobe/snowstorm on
 Visual Studio 2005? is this some new problem that they do not work?
 they have always worked fine for me on multiple systems and sdks.

 If you are looking for libs for 2008 see

 boost builds for 2008

Re: [opensource-dev] Blocking viewers.

2010-09-08 Thread malachi
so the software Emerald has no flaws that effect second life in any way  
you say?



attempted DDoSing a website from the client
exposing user data to the world(then hiding it in encryption that is sent  
only to the creators)

those are goodies that everyone wants to be a part of i take it.
i mean thats what you are saying.

perhaps you need to go read the TOS mate. you know that thing that you  
clicked I AGREE to when you logged in.
LINDEN LAB reserves the right to revoke your access to the second life  
servers at anytime for any reason (or for no reason at all)
with or without notice.

no one cares one way or another which clients you install. just like no  
one cares what other stuff you have on your computer(except the emerald  
devs)

the only thing lindens care about is the fact that they asked the  
developers to remove the bull s#$T from the client that was in violation  
to their rules.
the devs REFUSED  do you even understand that word?
linden lab blocks the client that is in obvious violation of the TOS
and state that they will BAN/terminate your access to second life if you  
bypass that block on the software.

now lets have a peek at this

lets say you get hash banned from second life. and you change your ip and  
mac address. and log into sl
if they find out that it is you what happens?
THEY BAN YOU AGAIN.

are you saying they dont have the right to ban you? if so log out of sl  
and log into open sim.

now. that being said i think that if they are going to block emerald and  
obviously ban key creators from second life they NEED TO.(AND WOULD A  
LINDEN PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE)
ban all accounts that those people have. instead of just allowing them to  
generate 1000 alts with the last name MODULARSYSTEMS(wait they already  
have) and logging in as much as they want.

now. im going back to my snowstorm. could we please move the topic to  
something that has relevance to what this group is called?

 Okay, let's just outline this properly.

 The lab DO NOT have any right to determine what software they will allow
 to connect to their SERVICE.  The only thing they DO have a right to do
 is to determine which TCP connections they want to accept and which UDP
 packets they want to accept.  It's my right to use whichever software I
 want to generate those packets. As such, I accept that they have the
 legal right to block logins from clients containing Emerald in their
 version string - but not a moral right. And they certainly do not have a
 right to threaten people with account bans if they bypass the ban.

 Linden Lab have blocked Emerald due to a POLITICAL DISAGREEMENT with
 their dev team.  They haven't blocked it because of any fault with the
 software itself,  they're not protecting anyone - they're taking
 pre-emptive action against a project because of some percieved danger
 that might evolve.

Re: [opensource-dev] Malicious payloads in third-party viewers: is the policy worth anything?

2010-08-24 Thread malachi

well the developer of the emkdu dll file is PHOX. From the interview on  
treettv, Fractured purchased the license to develop it, PHOX did the  
actual developing, Fractured was asked to step down, PHOX is still on the  
team of emerald developers.


PHOX and Fractured are very close. All the way back when it was VLife and  
PhoxSL. they were nearly identical. So i would almost bet that its a blitz  
attack on the public. Fractured walks away. PHOX stays. Fractured and PHOX  
still have control over the program cause PHOX is still committing code.  
and as far as the licensing goes. If PHOX is the developer of the  
emkdu file( remember this is the bad file in the emerald viewer) and they  
are still planning to use emkdu who is developing it? PHOX?

I would love to see emerald continue and grow. I for one actually like  
emerald. however. I find it odd that 3 of the devs are known for creating  
copybot/griefer clients. And with emerald alone 2 of the devs have created  
malicious code inside of emerald. Yet only one of the devs was asked to  
leave. While mr user data leakage remains on the team. Personally it  
appears to me that this is nothing more than a set up to shadow or sweep  
away the dirt that has been being flung around about the viewer. Fractured  
is asked to step down and walk away. But Fractured is the dev that  
purchased the license to build emkdu. Phox built the emkdu with user data  
leakage. And now they will be using a clean emkdu. Who is building the  
emkdu now? Fractured? Phox? of did one of the other devs run out and  
purchase a license to do so? Changing the server which hosts the client  
does nothing for saving face. And as long as Phox is a part of the  
team,(considering the fact that Phox and Jaycool are closer than twins)  
Fractured will still have access to changing code. If LL allows this to  
continue the TPVP is a joke. Hopefully the rest of you that use emerald  
will be more cautious about the client when you run it. After what we have  
seen thus far.god only knows whats next.

I understand this is all coming about to make it easier for people. Fine  
and dandy there. But isn't this just limiting the overall number of users  
that will be allowed to create accounts? I mean there are only so many  
combinations of characters that could be created with the last name  
Resident. I think if you are worried about residents walking away from the  
registration page because of a 'limited' list of last names, perhaps the  
official second life page could be a bit more like the regapi's that are  
out there. like it used to be in the good old days. when one could just  
select their last name from the entire list of last names, and not from a  
randomized pick of 12. just my 2 cents sorry to bother anyone.

  Old viewers will continue to work. Old accounts would continue to log

 Hi Oz,

 There has been discussion in AWG and other various chat moments of what

 but that doesn't mean it needs to be disabled. There is a debug option,
 CTRL-ALT-F1, that basically hides the UI, yet the mouse regions are
 still sensitive. If the mouse regions weren't sensitive, it would
 provide a means to hide the UI and allow other options.

 For an example with the built-in UI hidden and an external UI present,
 please see this project:

 Since the UI seems to be really the only issue, the above provides a

 the community as a whole to be splitting effort.

 I'd like to fairly quickly get to the point where all our new work is
 happening on the 2.x branch.  That said, I understand that might leave
 behind things that the Snowglobe user/dev base wants and that some
 people are not happy with some elements of 2.x.  What I'd like to know
 is... what needs to happen to make that choice that most people can be
 happy with?

 One of my goals is to increase the rate and volume at which Linden Lab
 can (and _does_) take changes from the open source base into the
 internal code, but unless we can keep everyone on the same branch, that
 will be much more difficult.

 Please respond to this thread with your favorite reasons not to move
 development to 2.x.   We will review the list at the 6 June open source
 meeting with the goal of setting some priorities.



 To be clear... I don't object to anyone else working on 1.x at all; I'd
 just like to know why so that we can tempt them to join us on 2.x

Re: [opensource-dev] Banning by client

2010-05-02 Thread Malachi
as far as i can tell the detection is done by loading a url on the client.  
the browser in the client loads the url which is a server side script that  
rips apart the header of the post and searches for a certain part which  
happens to be the name of the client. if the name of the client matches  
the preset list created by skills then the name and uuid of the avatar is  
sent back to the system inworld and triggers the banning process on that  
avatar.

this exact same method is used in various other detection systems already  
on the market. some even allow the end user to customize which clients  
they do not allow. i do believe that any system that is set up to ban or  
remove unwanted clients should be left at the users choice. personally  
there are a few clients that i do no tolerate anywhere near me. while  
others i dont mind. but im not going to give someone else the right to ban  
people from my land because they dont like the client those users are  
using. Skills is not a Linden and should not have the authority to decide  
which clients are allowed and which ones are not.

 sworn it WAS on it)...

 Yes. Normally, these files should have been moved into a different

[opensource-dev] How to change the Crash Reports URL

2010-04-22 Thread Malachi
I am curious as to where one might change the crash reports to send to a  
local server and not to LL. Would really help considering we are building  
a client for a private grid and would like to retrieve the crash reports  
ourselves. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: [opensource-dev] A note on preserving NO WARRANTY for SL TPV developers

2010-03-31 Thread Malachi
i do have a question...

now that the official download for second life is viewer 2.0 and it  
just so happens to come with a pretty little YOU MUST ACCEPT THE TERMS OF  
SERVICE YET AGAIN notice.


does this mean LL pushed the envelope and forced TPV early?

[opensource-dev] Request for help on compiling Snowglobe

2010-02-24 Thread malachi
i have been trying since snowglobe started to compile this thing. and 
for some reason i have yet to be successful in doing so. i think 
snowglobe hates me. i can compile the standard client source just fine. 
but when it comes to snowglobe i always seem to get hundreds of errors. 
so im finally done trying to sort it out alone

anyone here willing to spend a few minutes to help me figure out what is 
going wrong with snow that wont allow it to compile?



i have tried this with visual studio 2008, visual c++ 2008 express, 
visual studio 2005, visual c++ 2005, i have tried all versions of cmake 
and python and have tried while using vista and win7 both 32bit and 
64bit OS.

so far im down to just Build: 21 succeeded, 50 failed, 30 up-to-date, 2 
skipped. which is way better than it was before lol.

Re: [opensource-dev] Third party viewer policy

2010-02-23 Thread malachi
sorry thomas but the idea that a person can be detected by skills system 
while running LL's client on a name that is new today and never been 
logged in on any other client... shows that the information used to 
detect if a person has 'ever' used a bad client is coming from the 
persons computer. and the fact that one of the admins over skills system 
tells you that in order to run a bad client and not be detected by the 
system is to install vmware and run the client there tells me that the 
system is in fact gather information from your computer. the fact that 
the system in not installed on my computer leads me to believe its 
HACKING. you can protect your friends all you want thomas but Linden Lab 
needs to address that fact that this system is a HUGE violation of the 
terms of service and various local state and governmental laws.

 released implements Linden Lab in possible legal actions. This is a
 violation of not only the Second Life Terms of Service but various other
 Internet related Laws and policies.
  
 Sills bot system doesn't do anything illegal in activity. It does not
 scan the users computers as can be verified by intrusion detection
 software. Also an IP address is not neccessary to fingerprint a used
 viewer. There is enough information publicly available from SL servers
 alone that allows detection of the viewer being used.

   I for one would like to know if this
 bot system will be removed and its creators rights to the Second Life
 grid be revoked or if they will be allowed to continue to hack into
 residents computers looking for information regarding 3rd party clients
 being installed on the machines. If they are allowed to continue then i
 would like for Linden Lab to hand over all Real life information on its
 creator for a possible Law Suit.

  
 Pretty much a flame post. Don't feed the trolls.

 Because for one i never authorized anyone at Linden Lab much less anyone
 that simply just plays Second Life to have access to my computer and my
 data. thus the ability of a resident to retrieve such information is a
 violation of my privacy. point blank.
  
 Troll post.
