Second Life Dev Viewer 3.3.2 (252228)

2012/03/292012/03/28 by Nalates Urriah

The link to the latest build of the Development and Integration viewers seem to be wacky. Whatever is going on with them the Dev Viewer link, the Snowstorm Viewer page leads to a new 252228 build today. If you don’t know about the Dev and Integration viewers, all you really need to know is: the … Read more

Restrained Love Viewer 2.8.3.1 Released

2012/03/28 by Nalates Urriah

This is not a review. I don’t use RLV or the RLV features. So, I have no idea what I’m talking about with this viewer. But, I didn’t want to ignore the release. Marine contributes a lot to the Second Life community. Marine says it has been a couple of months since a version has … Read more

Kokua Viewer 3.3.1 Review

2012/03/28 by Nalates Urriah

No the Kokua viewer is not out… but there is an ALPHA or experimental version one can download. The viewer works. It is incomplete. So, don’t plan to start using it as your daily replacement for Imprudence. Keep your Imprudence Viewer.

Kokua3.3.1_001 — Kokua 3.3.1 Experimental Viewer

For now it pretty much looks like the Linden Lab Viewer 3.3.2. A quick look through it finds few differences. But, there are a few.

Build

The build panel has Build Math. I didn’t see the triplet copy feature (the ability to copy all 3 position values).

I didn’t see the prim alignment tool.

Nirans Viewer 1.32 Review

2012/04/142012/03/28 by Nalates Urriah

NiranV releases lots of iterations of this viewer. There are no massive changes from my perspective as a user. The changes tend to be in the nature of the user interface and new ways for established controls to work. For instance one of the previous versions change the default camera position. Expect lots of experimentation and innovation with this viewer.

The video is made by NiranV using the Nirans Viewer.

Start with a Problem

NiranV is using a new compiler (or library – not sure) to build this version of the viewer. I think the hope is the viewer will be faster. Whatever, the package fails to include a component: vcomp100.dll. You can get the component from: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) 32-bit or Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) 64-bit version.

#SL Server News Week 13

2012/03/27 by Nalates Urriah

The news is there is no news. :/

This Tuesday the grid will probably get a rolling restart. It has been almost 4 weeks since we had a roll and restart on the main grid. This restart is just to clean up problems and flush out memory leaks.

In general the servers have done very well during this period. We should see a blog post about that this week.

Release Channels

Oskar Linden didn’t say yet what is rolling out to the release channels in the week forum post. However, from Kelly Linden’s scripting group word came that the RC’s will get the Phase I Region Crossing code. This is the maintenance package we have been seeing roll to the RC’s, get revisions, and roll to RC’s again for a few weeks now.

#SL Fun Things

2012/03/25 by Nalates Urriah

Coming from Myst Online MadPea has always fascinated me. If you don’t know who MadPea is, you are missing out on once of Second Life’s creative groups. While skimming through my reader I saw Honour’s quick review of MadPea’s Show and Tell. They do a show and tell thing on Sunday’s at 2 PM SLT. It was just 2 PM so I popped over. It’s in-world at the MadPea Base.

I got there and had to change viewers. Sculpties or Mesh was going nuts and filling my screen. A quick change of viewer and all was working as expected.

Show and Tell

This show and tell thing is about people showing things they have built, as Honour describes it, their inventions.
