Overview

We welcome Second Life creators and developers to create content for Obsidian using our Dev Kits and Communication API.

Communication API Scripts

We included a lot in the box that Obsidian comes in. Here are the key scripts you may find useful as a creator:

  • API script — this script is included in the Obsidian box with COPY|TRANS permissions. It unpacks under the /dev folder. API script included enables communication with Obsidian owned by the same user and can be used immediately to create content for you and others.

    Even if you do not have such a script, you can overcome this obstacle by using a proxy/relay device worn by the other owner to establish communication with their Obsidian.

  • AVsitter Plugin — use the AVsitter plugin to play .OBS/.obs overlay animations and save & restore “angles”. This plugin is included in the Obsidian box with COPY|TRANS permissions. It unpacks under the /dev folder.
    • If you also need to support the pre-2025 Aeros AVsitter Plugin — LEGACY Plugin — the AVsitter Dev Kit includes both the LEGACY Plugin and the new Obsidian AVsitter Plugin to allow furniture creators to choose which path to take depending on their requirements. We update it independently from Obsidian releases.

When we release updates, you will receive a message and be able to redeliver the Dev Kits from the Aeros Island. Obsidian is constantly evolving, so please check for updates regularly to stay current with the latest features and improvements.
