Max/msp to second life

[Sarrah12]

Hello,

I'm doing a research project and I'm trying to connect Max/msp to Second Life.  I was thinking of making a proxy using libsecondlife but since i'm new to this, I'm having some problem with it.

Is there any tutorials on how to make it? and also where can i download the libsecondlife?

Thanks,

Sarrah

P.S: Max/Msp is a graphical programming environment for music and media applications.

You can download libsecondlife from http://swik.net/libsecondlife or libmetaverse from http://www.ohloh.net/p/openmetaverse .  Until your note, however, I had never heard of Max/msp. Even after Googling it I don't have a clue about how you might connect it to Second Life.  Perhaps people who are active in OpenSim would know where to start.

It's not easy to connect anything to Second Life, because SL is a "closed world".

I didn't have any idea what Max/msp is, either...but I had more success in Googling it.  It seems to be a programming language used for creating music and multimedia applications and interconnections.  I'm not a programmer, so even now that I know that, I have no idea what you would do with it in SL.

Anyway, for connecting things to virtual worlds, look at OpenSim.

I have utilised MIDI-chat conversion to control SL, so it may be that outputting MDI from Max may be the simplest way to initiate communication.
