  • Gudz Free Land Rental Script

    This script is designed for managing free land rentals in OpenSimulator, ensuring tenants maintain a regular presence to prevent users from making land unavailable without actually using it.

    In the future, this script will be adjusted to also handle paid rentals.

    Features

    • Free Land Rentals: Allows users to rent land for free, requiring them to click regularly on the rental panel to keep the parcel.
    • Full Ownership: The land is technically sold to the user, giving them full ownership and control over their parcel without needing group tricks.
    • Automatic Reclaim: Expired or abandoned land is sold back to the vendor owner.

    Requirements

    The script requires these functions to be enabled for Estate Owners in OpenSimulator configuration:

    • osDrawText
    • osGetDrawStringSize
    • osGetGridGatekeeperURI
    • osGetGridLoginURI
    • osGetNotecard
    • osInviteToGroup
    • osKey2Name
    • osMovePen
    • osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace
    • osSetFontName
    • osSetFontSize
    • osSetParcelDetails
    • osSetPenColor

    Usage

    For Tenants

    1. Initial Rental: Click on the sign, read the rental conditions, and confirm the rental.
    2. Renewal: Before the end of each term, click on the sign to renew the rental.

    For Region Owners

    1. Estate Settings: Make sure to disable land join, split, and resell in your Estate settings.
    2. Placement: Place the terminal outside the rented land, around 1 meter from the parcel border and adjust until the positioning beacon is inside the parcel and appears green.
    3. Confirmation: A confirmation message appears. Check the rental conditions (see configuration below) and start renting.

    Configuration

    Do not modify the script directly, any change would be overriden on next update. Use the notecard or a web URL config file instead.

    Using a Notecard

    Create a notecard named .config including these settings:

    
configURL = https://yourgrid.org/rental/example.txt
// If set, the config will be read from the URL and the rest of the notecard will be ignored.

    // Base config (required)

    duration = 30 // number of days, can be decimal for shorter periods maxDuration = 365 // number of days, can be decimal for shorter periods renewable = TRUE maxDuration = 3650 expireReminder = 7 expireGrace = 7

    // Optional

    fontname = fontSize = lineHeight = margin = textColor = textBackgroundColor = position = cropToFit = textureWidth = textureHeight = textureSides =

    Using Object Description (deprecated)

    Put these values, in this order, in the main prim description, separated by commas. Duration, max duration, expire reminder, and expire grace are in number of days.

    DURATION,MAX_DURATION,,RENEWABLE,EXPIRE_REMINDER,EXPIRE_GRACE

    The empty third field used to be set to MAX_PRIMS, but it is now calculated from the parcel data. It can be left empty to save space (keeping two commas for backwards compatibility).

    To Do

    1. Fix current functionalities:
      • √ Fix rental not restored after updates (fixed in 1.6.5)
      • √ Fix messages not sent to HG avatars when offline (added notification queue)
      • √ Fix position not saved in rent data, causing new check triggered on reset
      • Keep notification queue after script reset
      • Clear rent data (object desc) if owner changed
      • Clear rental status if parcel changed
      • Shorter rental data format (only save in object desc the live rental data, not settings that are now handled by config file)
      • Also notify owner to clean terrain when abandoned (currently only on rental expiration)
    1. Add new functionalities:
      • √ New feature: restore rental, based on prims found in the parcel (1.6.6)
      • Use different prims for sign and renter name, hide and show accordingly, to avoid resizing single prim and allow more creative designs
      • allow setting times in years, months, days, hours
      • Option to limit to local grid avatars
      • Option for maximum number of parcels per user, or maximum area
      • Check that the owner has estate rights before activating
      • Centralized management
        • List available terrains
        • Centralized rental via in-world board
        • Centralized rental via web page
      • Advanced features (requires grid-side API)
        • Option to update terrain for sale status
        • Option to set objects auto return after rental end
    1. Add payment system:
      • With local currency
      • On website (via w4os or WooCommerce)

  • 2do HYPEvents (meta project)

    2do is an ecosystem of tools allowing to manage events in an OpenSimulator. It is composed of several elements, depending of the way you want to implement it.

    This repository contains no code, only the information about the related projects.

    1. 2do-board

    This is were it all began. A scripted object in-world, displaying ongoing and upcoming events, allowing teleport. By default, it is set to use 2do.directory service, but it can be customize with the tools below. It can be used on any region, regardless of the implementation of search or not on the grid, but requires OSSL draw functions to be function.

    2. 2do.directory

    The easiest way to enable in-world search (including events) is to configure the simulators to use 2do.directory services. It only requires the addition of OpenSimSearch.dll in OpenSimulator bin folder and a few configuration lines in OpenSim.ini. Search is provided by 2do.directory website and allow sharing of hypergrid destinations. It avoids the need to install helpers.

    3. OpenSim Helpers

    Installing your own helpers allow to use your own databases for search and events. It is relevant for private or associated grids, or to setup and alternate shared directory. Currently, due to OpenSimulator and/or viewer limitations, searching classifieds require a direct access to the Robust database, so to enable them, installing helpers specific to the grid is necessary.

    A local installation of OpenSimulator helpers can be combined with the use of an external events provider like 2do.directory.

    4. 2do-aggregator

    To providde your own events server. Collects events from different sources and made them available to the search engine and in-world boards. It is usually not necessary to install your own implementation, the service is offered by 2do.directory.

    Deprecated

    • 2do-server: the previous aggregator, written in python 2.7 and forked from Tom Frost’s HypEvents abandonned project, replaced by 2do-aggreagator
    • 2do-search: another implementation of search engine, focused on events. Replaced by opensim-helpers

  • 2DO board

    In-word teleporter board for 2DO events server.

    Installation from sources

    • Put the content of the "2DO board.lsl" in a script file and name it "2DO board"
    • Put the content of the "2DO Read me" in a notecard named "2DO Read me"
    • Put the content of one of the themes files in a notecard named "Configuration"
    • Let the magic happen

  • 2DO Aggregator

    Version 0.2.0 Stable 0.2.0 Requires PHP 7.3 License AGPLv3

    The PHP port of python 2do-server.

    Before download or install : the easiest way to use this is to get the teleport board in-world (hop://speculoos.world:8002:Lab) and ask us to include your calendar in 2do.directory.

    Aggregator is a tool to fetch events from various sources and export them on several format, for use by 2do Board and other applications related with 2do Events project.

    Import formats:

    • [x] iCal (ics, iCalendar)
    • Custom web parsers:
      • [x] opensimworld
      • [x] thirdrock
      • gridtalk (to do)
      • OpenSim Fest (to do)

    Export formats:

    • [x] HYPEvent (legacy 2do/HYPEvent format)
      • [x] events.lsl2 (for current versions of 2do-board)
      • [x] events.lsl (old format, now includes only a deprecation notice)
    • [x] JSON (events.json) compatible with events parsers (provided by w4os or Flexible Helper Scripts)
    • [x] iCal (events.ics) iCalendar format, compatible with web, mobile and desktop calendars
    • [x] Light html web calendar page for standalone use

    This is a side PHP application intended to provide the same functionality as 2do-server, the original events fetcher of 2do project and the original HYPEvents code, but in a more modular and maintainable way, and with better integration with other tools of 2do Events, w4os and Flexiple Helper Scripts projects.

    • 2do-board: the in-world board to display the calendar

    For grid owners :

    • W4OS: a WordPress plugin to manage OpenSimulator grids and provide external helpers, including 2do Events
    • Flexible Helper Scripts: a standalione collection of scripts providing the same helpers, without the web interface

    Getting started (recommended)

    Don’t install this app. Seriously. In most cases you don’t need to install it, you can use ours.

    • as a parcel owner, you only need the the in-world board, which is intended to be used on any grid. It is available here:
    • as grid or region owner, you can use 2do.directory (https://2do.directory) service to enable events search on your grid with a simple straight-forward configuration

    Jump directly to "Calendar conventions" below for the events format.

    Installation

    Installation of this server is only relevant if you want to provide a custom-curated list calendar. If you really need to manage your own calendars collection, follow these instructions.

    Clone this repository and put it in a convenient place like /opt/2do-aggregator (not inside the website root folder).

    Install libraries.

      cd /opt/2do-aggregator
  composer install --no-dev

    Why outside the website directory? This is a script intended to be run from terminal or via a cron job, there is no point allowing random users or bots to run it from outside and risk overloading the server.

    Copy config/ical.gfg.example and add your calendar sources.

      cp config/sources.csv.example config/sources.csv

    Calendar conventions

    Events must have

    • A title
    • A start and end date/time
    • A location composed of the region HG url (e.g. yourgrid.org:8002:My_Region)

    They might also include

    • A description (optional but recommended)
    • A category (optional), following standards recognized by the viewers:
      • discussion
      • sports
      • live music
      • commercial
      • nightlife/entertainment
      • games/contests
      • pageants
      • education
      • arts and culture
      • charity/support groups
      • miscellaneous
      • These aliases are also recognized as variants of standard categories:
      • art (art and culture)
      • lecture (art and culture)
      • litterature (art and culture)
      • fair (nightlife/entertainment)
      • music (life music)
      • roleplay (games/contests)
      • social (charity/support groups)

    How to export Google Calendar as .ics

    To get the url of your calendar in iCal format, move your mouse above the calendar you want to share, a three dots icon appears, select "Settings and Sharing" and scroll the page down to find Public iCal format adress. This is the value you need to copy as calendar ics url.

    Running

    Run the script manually

      /opt/2do-aggregator/aggregator.php /var/www/html/events/

    Create a cronjob to run automatically (below example would run it every 4 hours)

      0 */4 * * * /opt/2do-aggregator/aggregator.php /var/www/html/events/

    Assuming /var/www/html is your website root directory, and http://www.yourgrid.org/, this would create:

    • http://www.yourgrid.org/events/ a basic web calendar page
    • http://www.yourgrid.org/events/events.lsl2 the source url for 2do Board
    • http://www.yourgrid.org/events/events.json the source url for events parsers
