bye bye power pc

More then 3 years passed since apple moved on intel cpu's, time to say bye bye power pc.
I cant spend days for support platform, which now officially not supported even by vendor.
Guys who still on power pc, i can understand many issues, but it too much worthless time for me.
From now i'm going to build viewers for intel platform only.

Personally, i have now only intel with 10.5 and 10.6 installed, thats my build and test environment,
i can't test ppc anymore, also i can't test how binaries running on 10.4 either.

About Voice in third party viewers

1) download official viewer 1.23.5 from Lab.
2) open application with right click (or ctrl-click if you on apple laptop with one trackpad button) -> show package contents
3) copy SLVoice libalut.dylib libllkdu.dylib libopenal.dylib libortp.dylib libvivoxsdk.dylib files from Contents/Resources folder to same folder in your emerald viewer.app
4) enjoy voice and raised video performance.

practically same steps for cool sl viewer.

viewer downloads down for now

They should be up as soon as i repackage them, should not take a long time, no worries!

Update: repackaged and back up

r9 and r67

Here are two new releases of the Cool SL Viewer, available now

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 67 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.23.4.0 release 9 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)

New in these releases:
RestrainedLife updated to v1.20c (fixes a couple of crash bugs).
Updated ExplandedBuildTools (v1.19.0.5)/ImprovedbuildTools (v1.23.4.0) patches: now allow to set 100% transparency in the build floater tools.
Updated OldTrackingDotsInMinimap patch: because of server/viewer messaging limitations, it is currently not possible to distinguish between an avatar at 0m of altitude from another above 1020m of altitude (they therefore both appear as "below you" in the mini-map). To work around this problem, the Cool SL Viewer now uses a different symbol (a small, horizontal bar) for such avatars.
Updated PrimBackup patch: the primitives now got their name and description saved and restored.
New TextHistoryOnSendIMbutton patch (included in MUposeStyleAndOOCautoClose_v3): fixes a bug where the IMs sent by pressing the "Send" button (instead of the ENTER key) do not get saved into the input line history.
New MouseLookFocusSwitchQuirk and BuildFloaterMouseLookQuirk patches: fix quirks with mouse look and viewer window focus switching. The most noticeable changes are that loosing and restoring the viewer window focus no more resets mouse-look neither the camera zoom level (as set via the mouse wheel when not in mouse-look).
New LoadXUIfromXML patch (for v1.23): fixes a bug in the Advanced/XUI/Load from XML feature of v1.23 viewers.
PanelLoginFocusedGridSelectionCrash (for v1.23): fixes a crash bug when closing the viewer while on login screen with the grid selection combo selected.

new emerald build, 1.23.4.576 and updated cool sl viewer

New Greenlife Emerald 1.23.4.576 is out, see on main site and google code mirror, don't forget to get and apply voice patch.

Updated RestrainedLife to v1.20a.

r6 and r64

On server now
Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 64 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.23.4.0 release 6 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)
universal binary and intel optimized builds (marked intel)

The changes are:
PrimBackup patch implemented: this code, borrowed from the Meerkat viewer, debugged and improved by Henri, allows to export and import objects (full perm objects only, and only the primitives and textures), allowing you to backup and restore them and/or to transfer them between grids. To export, right click on the object, select "More>" and "More>" again in the pie menu, then "Export". To Import, use the corresponding option in the File menu: Import (to restore on the same grid), or Import and Upload textures (to upload on another grid).
RestrainedLife updated to v1.19b. @rediremote wrongly redirected OOC (Out Of Character) chat (text starting and ending with double parenthesis, such as ((AFK, BRB)) or ((Safeword ! Please, don't do that to my avatar !))...). v1.19b prevents any redirection to happen with OOCs, even when both @redirchat and @rediremote active. This change will also be reflected into Marine's next patch version.
For v1.23.4.0: TeleportHistory updated (fixes a bug which made the Teleport button inactive in the Teleport History floater).
For v1.23.4.0: NoVoiceWarningSpam patch added: prevents the viewer from generating enormous log files on grids without voice support (OpenSim grids).

new emerald build 439

is out
and we have new mirror on googlecode!

r8 and r58

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 58 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 8 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)


New in these releases:
RestrainedLife updated to v1.17a.
Double-click to teleport feature implemented (enable it from the "Cool features" tab of the Preferences menu).
Improved oblong sculpties support. These sculpties are special in the way their sculpt map texture is not a square texture. They used to crash v1.19 and older viewers (fixed in the Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 58) and since they are used to replace multi-primitives objects with a single primitive sculpted object, they need to be drawn at a higher level of details (fixed in v1.22 and v1.23 Cool SL Viewers, but please note that such sculpties still cannot be displayed properly in v1.19).

Intel and Universal Binary Download here

r7 and r57

intel and universal builds

Updated: RestrainedLife updated to v1.16g (equivalent to Marine's v1.16.2).

r6 and r56

What was updated from r4 and r54:
Updated CoolSLViewerBranding patch (which also should solve the problem in v1.22 with wrong branding being advertised when re-using a settings.xml file from an older version), can save scripts present in inventory as Mono scripts (instead of LSL2), and add the corresponding setting to the Cool features tab of the Preferences floater.
RestrainedLife updated to v1.16f and fix an issue with caching of very small textures.
RestrainedLife v1.16f got the experimental @putinv command removed, but llGiveInventoryList(id, "#RLV/~some_folder", stuff) is still supported (the Keep/Discard/Mute dialog being however always presented to the user). This plugs the potential security issues associated with the previous @putinv implementations and gets closer to what Marine will implement in her own patch (but this feature should still be considered a preliminary implementation). Note that the redirection to the #RLV/ folder is only active after the RestrainedLifeAllowGiveToRLV debug setting is set to TRUE (else the #RLV/~some_folder is created in the inventory root folder).

intel and universal builds

update!

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 54 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 4 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)

intel and universal builds

They both got RestrainedLife updated to v1.16e, and the MUposeStyleAndOOCautoClose patch updated to v2.

Changes in RestrainedLife v1.16e:
fixed: removed the (undocumented) limitation that made it imposible to force-sit an avatar under @fartouch=n restriction (bug introduced in v1.16), as it breaks existing contents and is very disputable.
changed: @putinv now only accepts #RLV/~folder (the tilde prefix is mandatory) for items given via llGiveInventoryList(), and cannot be used by an item held into such a #RLV/~folder.

Changes in MUposeStyleAndOOCautoClose_v2:
Any text starting with ":" but less than 4 characters is not considered an emote any more (allows more smileys to go through untouched).
Any unclosed OOC text ending with a single parenthesis got a space appended before the closing double parenthesis is added (for example, typing: "((hello ! :-)" will show as "((hello ! :-) ))" instead of "((hello ! :-)))" with the previous version).

Enjoy !

flexible sculpties

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 50 (stable, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 17 ((stable, Windlight renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.10.0 release 2 (experimental)

Too tired to write much, just copy-paste from Henri
They allow to build flexible sculpties. BEWARE: flexible sculpties introduce a *lot* of lag on the viewer side: use sparsely !
Such prims can be seen in other viewers as well, but they introduce even more lag in them since they don't have the optimized code provided by the patch.
Note: this feature may not be keeped in future releases, depending on its impact on lag, and especially if a more elegant solution is not found (for now the viewer is transferring the sculpty texture data between the GPU and the CPU for every frame of animation).

Flexible Sculpted Prims

For those folks who will like to play with this feature test version of 1.22.10 RC viewer with patch from VWR-9203
It just rebuild of Cool SL Viewer 1.22.10 with "Flexible Sculpted Prims" patch.

Release Notes for latest Cool SL Viewer releases

http://sldev.free.fr (Linux)
http://my.opera.com/boylane (Windows)
http://hyangreflections.blogspot.com (Mac)

Patches by Henri Beauchamp (released under GPL v2 license):
* AllowDiscardForCreator: enables the "Discard" button in the notecards that you created and that are given to you with llGiveInventory(). Fixes the VWR-2290 bug.
* ATIcrashBug (for v1.20.15 and older only: implemented in v1.21): works around the hardware cursor bug of Mobility Radeon cards running with the ATI fglrx drivers. See the VWR-1320 bug report for full details.
* CommonDateAndTimeFormats: allows to configure the time and date formats and to use them coherently everywhere in the viewer (fixes VWR-721 among others).
* FileAccessSecurity: backport to v1.19.0.5 of the file access security fix introduced in the v1.20.17.0 viewer.
* FixGcc42error (for v1.19.0.5): allows to compile the v1.19.0.5 viewer with gcc v4.2. Please note that the gcc v4.2 warnings are not fixed by this patch and you will therefore need to compile the viewer without the -Werror gcc option. The latest version of make-SL entitles you to do that (by setting the ALLOW_WARNINGS variable in it to "yes").
* FloaterInspectCrashFix (for v1.21 and older): backport of a v1.22 fix for the inspect floater crashes (VWR-10823).
* HideIMinChat: allows to optionally prevent IMs to show in the main chat. Implements the VWR-3060 feature.
* HideNotificationsInChat: allows to optionally prevent the notifications (those small messages appearing in a blue box on the lower right corner of the viewer window) to show and be logged in the main chat.
* InventoryDoubleClickActions v2: defines double-click actions in inventory for objects (wear as attachments or remove if already worn), and clothes/body parts (wear when not worn, or remove when worn). Implements the VWR-1752 and part of the VWR-1825 features.
* InventoryDoubleClickActions v2_RestrainedLife_addon.patch.bz2: addon patch to apply when the RestrainedLife patch is also used (see below).
* KeepCachedSounds: cures the sound problems in -multiple mode, and allows to keep cached sounds over sessions. Fixes the VWR-2876 bug.
* LandmarksDiscardButton v2: restores the "Discard" button in the new landmarks floater. Fixes the VWR-3616 regression.
* LargePrimsAndHavok4SimHeight_v2: allows to build large prims (up to 128m large) in OpenSim and above 768m high (and up to 4096m) in SL. Also allows to TP above 1000m.
* MonoBackport v2 (for v1.19.0.5 only): backport of the v1.21 script engine with Mono compilation (and v1.22 fixes) and new LSL functions support (note that although the new LSL functions will compile thanks to this patch, most of their effects will be invisible to the patched v1.19.0.5 viewer as they involve features implemented in later viewers, such as the render glow, the extended parcel media, etc).
* MoonBrightness: corrects the brightness of the moon, allowing to actually see it, especially when it's close to the horizon.
* MoreGrids: allows to select from the login screen to which public grid (SecondLife or others) you wish to connect.
* MUposeStyleAndOOCautoColse: allows to use the MUCK/MUSH/MUX/MUD pose style (VWR-3093) and allows to auto-close double-parenthesis (Out Of Character) chat/IM poses.
* NoMultipleLocaleWarnings: prevents messages such as "WARNING: LLLocale: Failed to set locale en_US.utf8" to appear hundreds of times in the log file (any locale loading failure now appears once only in the log).
* OldTrackingDotsInMinimap: reinstates the "old" (pre-v1.18.4) mini-map icons for "above" and "below" avatars. Fixes the VWR-2808 regression. Set the "UseOldTrackingDots" flag to TRUE, and restart the viewer to enable this feature.
* PanelOverlayHidableButtons (this patch is part of the RevertUIchanges one for v1.19): allows to optionnally hide the "Release Keys" button and the "Master Remote" volume slider. Implements the VWR-3087 feature. Set the "HideReleaseKeys" and "HideMasterRemote" flags to TRUE to enable this feature.
* PanelOverlayHidableButtons_RestrainedLife_addon: addon patch to apply when the RestrainedLife patch is also used (see below).
* ReinstateAltShowPhysical v2 (for v1.19.0.5 and older only): reinstates the "Alt Shows Physical" option in the View menu (this option was removed from voice viewers). The v2 patch yet does not force any more the "Alt shows physical" when in Edit mode. Fixes the VWR-2086 regression.
* ReinstateShowTextureUUID: reverts the "fix" for VWR-1919: security by opacity is a delusion: removing this feature would not prevent pirates to steal your textures, while it would prevent you to verify that some object has been textured with your own textures. And by the way, there are much better (much more efficient) ways for a pirate to steal the textures (by using the cached files, for example)...
* RReinstateStatusbarBandwidthAndPacketsLoss (for v1.19. This patch is part of the RevertUIchanges one for v1.20): gets rid of the search box in the status bar and reinstates the bandwidth and packets loss indicators. Fixes the VWR-3156 regression and fullfils VWR-3089.
* RememberMinimizedFloatersPosition: Fixes the VWR-5530 regression (minimized floaters not remembering their position).
* RevertUIchanges_v8: this (large) patch reinstates the "old" (pre-voice) UI and adds some more features:
- Features common to all versions:
-- The chat input line, Gestures combo and Say/Shout buttons are removed from the chat history floater (this feature can be disabled by setting "UseOldChatHistory" to FALSE and restarting the viewer).
-- The friends list and the groups list are back as separate floaters that can both be shown simultaneously. As a bonus the Groups list floater also remembers its size and position (just like the friends list always did).
-- The toolbar is back to its old self (no distracting and cryptic icons and "fly buttons"), with the "Friends" button back into business, as well as (for those among you "old" enough to remember), the "Groups" button (if you don't like it, it can be hidden by setting "ShowGroupsButton" to FALSE and restarting the viewer).
-- The overlay bar (chat input line, buttons and volume/media remote controls) is back to its old self, with a few bonuses: the volume remote buttons stack nicely and "smartly" to the right above the chatbar (or toolbar if the chatbar is hidden), depending on which is actually needed (media, music and voice remotes are hidden by default and shown only when needed). The master volume button was also made smaller (slider removed: only the tiny button allowing to open the volume sliders panel is shown) and smarter (it is only shown whenever one of the music, media or voice are enabled/playing, but it can be shown permanently like it used to do in v1.18.6 by setting "HideMasterRemote" to FALSE).
- Features for v1.19 only:
-- The "Release Keys" button is always hidden by default (set "HideReleaseKeys" to FALSE to show it again) and replaced by a "Release Keys" entry in the Tools menu (or World menu for v1.20), below the "Stop All Animations" one.
- Features for v1.21 and later (*):
-- Includes the StatusBarIcons patch (but allows to switch back to the new status bar icons, by setting "UseOldStatusbarIcons" to FALSE).
-- Allow the proper fonctionning of the packets loss and bandwidth tooltips.
-- Reverts to the default chat colors and behaviours of pre-v1.21 viewers.
-- Removal of the extra spacing between message lines in the chat console (unless "DisableMessagesSpacing" is set to FALSE).
NOTE: for v1.21 and later, this patch comes along with one zip file (slviewer-0-v12160-RevertUIchanges_v8-artwork-patch.zip) which is to be uncompressed after the main artwork zip file: if you are using the make-SL or cmake-SL utilities, this is done automatically
* SecurityFixBackport: backport to v1.19.0.5 of the L$ transactions (and a couple other server messages) security fix introduced in the v1.20.16.0 viewer.
* StatusBarIcons: this patch is for the v1.19 series of viewers only: it reverts a number of status bar icons (no-push, no-fly, no-build, no-script, voice...) to the old, much more readable and discernible ones (does LL have any clue about what accessibility means, even for non-disabled persons ?... Obviously not !). This patch comes along with a zip file (slviewer-v11900-statusbar-artwork-patch.zip) which is to be uncompressed after the main artwork zip file: if you are using the make-SL v1.84 utility, this is done automatically.
* TeleportHistory_RestrainedLife_addon: addon patch to apply when both the RestrainedLife patch and the TeleportHistory patch are used (see below).
* CoolPreferences: for the v1.19 to v1.22 series of the Cool SL Viewers: it adds a "Cool features" tab to the Preferences panel and allows to switch on and off the various features of the Cool SL Viewer without having to use the geeky "Debug settings" (hey !... but I'm a geek !). If you build your own viewer, please note that it only makes sense to apply this patch "as is" if all the patches of the Cool SL Viewer have been applied.

Collaborative work:
* GestureMissingError (for v1.19, fixed in v1.20): based on a patch by by Nicholaz Beresford, this improved works around the "missing gesture" bug (by me) and improves the error message when the gesture is actually missing (by Nicholaz). See VWR-333.
* LinuxShortcuts: based on a patch by Khyota Wulluf, this improved patch changes some shortcuts which collide with Linux console switching keys (CTRL ALT Fn shortcuts are turned into CTRL SHIFT Fn). See VWR-2085.
* LlhttpclientMemLeak: based on a patch by Carjay McGinnis, this patch plugs a couple of memory leaks (VWR-9400).
* LlmediaImplGstreamerFixes: aggregates patches from Tofu Linden (VWR-10370), Aleric Inglewood (VWR-10759). and, for v1.19.0.5 viewers a crash fix by me.
* RestrainedLife_v116a: based on a patch by Marine Kelley, this improved patch implements the RestrainedLife features. Set the "RestrainedLife" flag to TRUE, and restart the viewer to turn it into a RestrainedLife viewer. See the RestrainedLife Readme and the RestrainedLife API for more details.

About Kirsten Viewer S16

KirstenLee Notes on S16
1) The Fastest Rendering Viewer in SL, and it's really quick both on start up and rendering in world even in laggy sims, the comments from users have ranged from 'wow' to 'bloody hell!' It uses a mixture of code from various viewers, bit of a hybrid really.
2) New UI skins, with clearer Fonts (and no licensing issues.)
3) Avatar Scanner - Scan up to 500 meters and across sim borders, brings up names and distance. Allows viewing of profiles and teleporting of friends.
4) Asset Browser - View every texture and photo in your inventory preview, or use the asset browser to apply the textures directly to builds via drag and drop.
5) More Prim manipulation different ways to cut prims in SL, and on opengrids micro and monster prim creation.
6) Some severe modification to what information is sent by the viewer when active - no sending of stats to a grid, such as FPS, Lang and version etc.
7) Modified network system viewerside.
8) Very low memory footprint runs much better on marginal hardware (older laptops) even runs on the Intel Atom-based Ultra Portables - Great for running multiple clients if needed.
9) Stable - Incorporated fixes that were either not used by Linden Lab or have come from sources not working directly on SL viewers such as RealXtend.


S16 Universal Binary (tested on intel/10.5 and ppc/10.4) here

Kirsten's viewer builds.

1) build for 10.5 (it could run on tiger, but i cant test it)
2) two builds for intel with different optimizations (-O2 and -Os) and one universal binary (UB) for ppc folks mostly

all stuff here

enjoy!

Hy crashing to bed ...

Update: universal binary now built with deployment target 10.4 tested on old G4 with tiger.

And new releases again.

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 44 (stable, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 12 (stable, Windlight renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.5.0 release 1 (still very experimental)

New patches and crash fixes. One new feature for v1.21 and v1.22 (not needed in v1.19) is the ability to remember the stats floater position and size over sessions.

All three versions also have new chat feature "OOC chat parenthesis auto-close" (can be disabled from the Cool features tab of the Preferences menu). E.g, while role-playing, when you want to speak Out Of Character (OOC), the convention is to enclose your OOC text between double parenthesis, like so "((phone call, BRB))". This new patch takes care of adding the closing "))" when they are missing, thus saving you some typing.

Enjoy, folks!

And here new releases.

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 43 (stable, based on 1.19.0.5)
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 11 (stable, based on 1.21.6)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.4.0 release 2 (based on release candidate from Lab 1.22.4)

New "CommonDateAndTimeFormats" patch that is a first step towards the full internationalization of date and time and that makes, at last, the formats coherent throughout all the viewer menus.
The corresponding settings have of course been added to the Cool features tab of the Preference floater.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

(insert happy silly cat picture here)

Lot of things happened from this year started, btw, new Cool (tm) SL (tm) Viewer (tm) releases (wtf) coming soon, stay tuned, folks.
