Tutorial?

The aim of this tutorial is to explain how to create a service provider for SIGVerse using Microsoft Visual Studio.

We will create a simple service provider as example to send messages to a specified entity of the SIGVerse virtual world from the client side to the server side.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 will be used as a development tool.

Creation of the Service Provider †

↑

Downloading the libraries †

We first need to download SIGVerse libraries, to do so, go to the service libraries web page and download the appropriate version.

↑

Creating a new project †

Now let's create a new project on MVS 2008.

Go to: File -> New Project , then select Empty Project, enter the project name "MyService" and press Ok.

Right click on Source Files -> Add -> New Item -> C++ File (.cpp), then enter "MyService.cpp" in the Name field.

↑

Service sample †

Now let's create our example.

Copy/past the following code to MyService.cpp file:

MyService.cpp

Replace the hostname and port number with your server arguments.

↑

Setting the library †

Extract the libraries in MyService project directory.

Go to the MVS, Right click on the project, and go to properties.

↑

Add the include directory †

Go to Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories, and specify the following path:
- "..\SIGService_v2-1-0\include"

↑

Add the library directory †

Then, go to linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories, and add the following path:
- "..\SIGService_v2-1-0\lib\Debug"

↑

Add the "SIGService.lib" library †

In Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies, and add the following library:
- SIGService.lib

↑

Server †

In the server side, we have to create the controller and the world file.

↑

Controller †

controller.cpp

↑

World file †

worl.xml

↑

Running the service †

Server side:

In the server side, compile and run the the controller:

$ cd path-to-the-controller
$ make
$ sigserver.sh -w ./world.xml

In the client side:

Run SIGViewer
Start the service provider

In the server side you will see the following message:

$ [MSG]  man_000(0.0.0.0) Hello

↑

Registering the plugin †

To register the plugin in SIGViewer, you have to follow these steps:

1- Rename the MyService.exe in debug directory to MyService.sig.

2- Run SIGVIewer, go to Services -> Add, then click on Add button.

3- Select the path to the MyService.sig file and press OK.

4- To run the service, go to Services -> Start -> MyService.sig.
