New in SL: automatic group invite

What would make an experienced scripter jealous? Yes, a script made by someone else that hasn't been made before. And even worse: a script that was deemed impossible !!


And now the day has come. Aiming at big stores, organizations and/or groups, Scripts 'r Us, run by Wietse and Gwendolyn Cassini have done it. Drop the script in a prim, click it and you will get an instant group invitation. It almost sounds too good to be true. No more IM'ing someone and waiting for that person to come online and for him/her having to manually type your name and invite you. No more opening the Search panel, typing the group name, going through a list, having to find it and then join it.

This script is now available, but at a cost. Not only will it set you back L$5000, you do have to have a computer online, 24 hours/7 days. Or whenever you want the script to work. And on this computer you also need to have Windows XP with service pack 2 and .NET technology (which you have when you regularly update). And you do need an extra second life account (an 'alt').

I cannot and will not reveal how it works exactly, but I can say that it works with a separate program outside Second Life, linking to the LSL script that you use in second life.

The price is high, because it is a unique script. It hasn't been seen before, it is truly unprecedented. And, as the scripter has told me, it has cost some considerable time to make it. So unless you're rich, the people likely to buy this script are those who own popular shops, or have any other popular groups (like the SL Newspaper). Think about the sheer number of IM's the people from stores like Xcite! get every day, having to attend to every single one of them by hand. It could be over now, with this new gadget.


The SL Newspaper has had the opportunity to test it for about a month now, and it works great. The signs can be found in our headquarters as well as some of the other outlets/bars/fanshops/offices we have. The program only goes offline when SL goes offline, and on rolling restarts.

If you don't believe me, or if you just want to test it for yourself, please visit the SL Newspaper headquarters or Scripts 'R Us (AKA Cassini Creations). Because this script has to be manually set to some specific info (like the alt name and role that you want the new member to be in), it is not a boxed thing that you can buy. If you are interested, you can contact Wietse Cassini directly (by IM) and he will prepare it and walk you through it. Setting it up should take no longer than 20 minutes, or a bit more if you are completely inexperienced with windows and scripts.


Scripts 'r Us also sell other common scripts with all permissions, but these are all low-cost. By shaking up the scripting world of Second Life with this new tool that was unavailable before, this might be the big breakthrough for Scripts 'r Us. By the way, they are linked to Cassini Creations, a women's clothing shop who also sells scripted silks (with striptease option including sound and custom animation).
