Second Life and Virtual Worlds
General Viewer Information
I started up the latest Pathfinding viewer: Second Life 3.3.3 (260669) Jun 26 2012 18:41:51 (Project Viewer – Pathfinding). In it I found this:
OSGrid? Are we going to get a grid manager in the Linden Viewer? Is this a slip leaving some testing code got in this version?
We can speculate endlessly.
A new version of the RLViwer is out. They have added the new Spell Checker and Auto-Replace that we will see in Linden Lab viewers. Don’t confuse the meaning here to be that Linden Lab developed it. I think most of the development by Kitty Barrnet. Oz Linden did some coding on it. But, it get all confusing as to who did what when.
There are some bug fixes included.
Download the Restrained Love Viewer (RLV). This is a non-standard install. Click RLV in the details to the right to find other articles on RLV and how to install it. The site has instructions but if they don’t do it for you, may be mine will help.
We got a new release of the SL Viewer from Linden Lab: 3.3.3 (260300). I’ve crashed it several times. So, I’m not very happy with it. I tried using the previous version at the crowded Mesh User Group. It crashed as soon as I took a picture. It also tended to ‘occasionally’ crash on exit. So, one is probably as well off with the newer one. It tends to crash on exit too.
This new version does not yet have Spell Check or Auto-Replace. It does have 78 different fixes. You can find the list of fixes here.
I don’t notice any control changes. But, I’m only making a quick look.
A new version of the Dolphin Viewer is out. I have yet to try it, so I can’t say much.
At first look it seems to be some fixes and little more.
The announcement is here: Dolphin Viewer 3 – 3.3.10.24429.
A new post on the Catznip site announces the coming Spell Check and Auto-Replace features coming to Linden Lab’s Beta Viewer. The LL version is from Kitty Barnett and I think first seen in Catznip R6, the current release of Catznip.
In the back-and-forth development to submit the code to the Lab the features have undergone some change. The Catznip Team considers this to be one of the largest third party submissions via the Contributor Agreement process.

Juicy Bomb has a fun and interesting article on how to make animations run in slow motion. The trick when used with a good emoter (she recommends one) is GREAT for fashion and other photography.
