[sldev] New viewer released with logging of the owners of speaking objects and their location

[Harold Brown]

They are there now.

Is the URL for the Region name to co-ordinate service.

Call it with :
https://cap.secondlife.com/cap/0/d661249b-2b5a-4436-966a-3d3b8d7a574f?var=a&sim_name=Ahern

will result in the following return:

var a = {'x' : 997, 'y' : 1002 };

There is also the reverse:

https://cap.secondlife.com/cap/0/b713fe80-283b-4585-af4d-a3b7d9a32492?var=slRegionName&grid_x=997&grid_y=1002

It returns:

var slRegionName='Ahern';



One more service the new map API provides is checking for voice
capability.  This provides more information as well, and can be used
to grab blocks of regions:



https://secure-web15.secondlife.com/app/voicemap/index.php?var=voice&x=997&y=1000&blocksize=2



will return:

var voice = [{x: 997, y: 1000, voiceEnabled: true, name: 'Oak
Grove'},{x: 997, y: 1001, voiceEnabled: true, name: 'Morris'},{x: 998,
y: 1000, voiceEnabled: true, name: 'Murray'},{x: 998, y: 1001,
voiceEnabled: true, name: 'Rizal'}]
