EventController

The EventController is a server made for the Japanese region of PS Home.

It has been shared on occasions with various regions. The most global use of the EventController, that involving all four regions, is with FevaArena (FIFA 2010).

Originally created by Premium Agency as far back as January 2009, control of the EC would eventually switch gears to Sony and Peakvox, seeing extensive usage for the Showstage and the Shoei Kingdom.

Spaces

JP Home Square

The Home Square in Japan has had a constant variety of events, like the Summer Festival of 2012, the Spring Blossom of 2012/2013, the Halloween of 2010-2012, the Winter of 2009-2012, and the promotional events hosted throughout the years.

Beginning with December 2010, the map began to use compiled LUA.

Music Cafe / Home Cafe

This space allows for selection of MP3 music or MP4 videos to be played in the space. It is handled by the EventController that can set the music, the images and their positions, as well as a variety of lights and effects.

The entire space is programmable through an XML-based configuration file, which allows for customizing how the events here are run.

At the time of this writing, only the Rolly Booth object of the space works with the server.

Liar Game

This is an event that was exclusive to the Japanese region of PlayStation Home, and only for part of the year 2011.

Sony Aquarium VR

This is an event that was exclusive to the Japanese region of PlayStation Home, and only for part of the year 2011. It allowed you to see virtual fishes, take pictures of them, and gain rewards through gacha.

FIFA FevaArena 2010

This is a global event that was hosted in all four regions of PlayStation Home, using the EventController to manage the FIFA 2010 World Cup South Africa events. It allowed players to participate in various FIFA-themed activities and competitions.

Shoei Kingdom

This space by O-Two uses a variant of the EventController. It is unknown how this one works, but it is regular LUA all the way. This is the only known space to use GET requests instead of POST requests.

Showstage

This space by O-Two that uses Sony’s EventController, modified to work specifically in Showstage, but very similar (and in some aspects, identical) to the new JP Home Square’s code. Unlike JP Home Square, this is regular LUA all the way.

Disgaea 4 (Possibly)

One of this space’s objects has the EventController functionality.

However, it is suepected to have been disabled, as a way has not been found to get it to run.
