Simscape is an ongoing project to create a land management tool that provides a complete real-time land status overview as well as the ability to manage land performing viewer commands such as restarting simulators on demand.

The screenshots shows the controller script with several simulators configured as well as the statistics for Exploration Island that show up above the primitive in real-time. A large number of configured simulators can be added to the controller primitive - up to 255 bytes of data can be read from a notecard, which is large enough to accommodate for a hundred sims or more depending on the length of their names.

• Download the latest version of the client.
• Configure the Simscape.config file to set the parameters for the client. See the client page for details.
• Run the client on the command line and leave it running in the background.
• Create a primitive and add the controller script to it.
• Configure the controller script. See the controller script page for details.
• Touch the primitive and select a simulator to see the simulator's statistics.

• Latest version: Simscape.

The graphics bellow shows the two components of Simscape:

• The client which is the scripted agent (bot) that stays connected to Second Life.
• The control script that is used to control the scripted agent (bot).

When a simulator is selected from the menu the script sends a request to the Simscape client over instant messaging to teleport to the selected simulator. If the Simscape client fails to teleport the controller script is notified, otherwise the data from the destination simulator is reported back to the controller over HTTP. Once the controller script receives the data over HTTP it displays it using the prim overhead text. The simulator statistics are reported in 1 second intervals and updated above the primitive where the controller script is placed.

The communication between the controller script and the Simscape client occurs over instant messaging whereas the communication between the Simscape client and the controller script goes over HTTP requests. This makes the system robust enough to report errors such as teleport failures so that the controller script can adapt.

Simscape uses a scripted agent (bot) written in C# and an LSL component.
