Cool VL Viewer forum

Here are two new releases of the Cool SL Viewer, available now for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 53 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 3 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)

These releases are aimed at RestrainedLife users (others may keep using the previous releases if they so wish), and update RestrainedLife to v1.16d: the @putinv command is now disabled by default (and can be enabled by setting the RestrainedLifeAllowPutInv debug setting to TRUE), and when a sub-folder is given to the #RLV folder after a successful @putinv, this is logged (into the chat log floater) instead of being done silently. This will hopefully reassure the most paranoid users ;-P

Two new releases are available now for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/:

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)

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).

Two new releases are available now for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 55 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 5 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)

They got an 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.

Two new releases are available now for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 56 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 6 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)

They got 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).

Here are two new releases of the Cool SL Viewer, available now for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 57 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 7 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)

They both got RestrainedLife updated to v1.16g (equivalent to Marine's v1.16.2).

Here are three new releases of the Cool SL Viewer, available now for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/:

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)
Cool SL Viewer v1.23.0.0 release 1 (experimental viewer: BUGGY AND UNSTABLE !)

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).

Also, v1.23 is (more or less) capable of rendering shadows (note that it is not as evolved as the shadow branch SL viewer from the SVN render-pipeline: it is just preliminary shadow support). To enable shadow rendering, pull down the debug settings floater (available from the Admin menu) and proceed as follow:

• Make sure that the RenderDeferred setting is set to FALSE
• Set the RenderUseFBO setting to TRUE
• Come back to the RenderDeferred setting and this time set it to TRUE

These settings are persistent over sessions.
Please, note that this is a HIGHLY experimental feature. Do expect:

• Incompatibility with all but Nvidia Geforce 8 and later graphic cards with the newest proprietary Nvidia drivers.
• A lot of graphic quirks.
• A large slow down in FPS.
• A lot of crashes...

Oh yes... one last thing: the v1.23 viewer requires a recent system in order to run. You need to have glibc v2.8 or later installed (this is because this viewer makes gcc v4.1 and v4.2 crash, and I had to use gcc v4.3 to compile it).

Here is a new experimental viewer release (same remarks as for v1.23.0.0 in the previous post):

Cool SL Viewer v1.23.1.0 release 1

It is available for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/.

Here are three new releases of the Cool SL Viewer, available now for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/:

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 59 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 9 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.23.2.0 release 1 (experimental viewer)

New in these releases:

• RestrainedLife updated to v1.17b (fixes a bug).
• Updated HideIMinChatConsole patch (for v1.19 and v1.22): v1.22 user might have to re-check the "Hide IM in chat console" option in the Communication tab of the Preferences menu if needed.
• New TexturePreviewAspectRatio patch.
• New StuckGroupProposalArchives patch.
• New LocalRulerAlignment patch.
• For v1.23: The RevertUIchanges patch now includes reverting the order of the options in the pie menus to what it always has been, and comes with a new artwork/lib zip patch file to revert the monospacing font to what it has always been.

Three new releases:

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 60 (stable branch, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 10 (stable branch, Windlight renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.23.2.0 release 2 (experimental viewer)

They implement a new AvatarKeyInProfile patch (the avatar key (UUID) is shown in the "My Notes" tab of the "Profile" panel).

Enjoy !

One new release, thanks to Nicholaz Beresford's work: he ported two of his patch (already used in the Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5) to v1.22).

The Cool SL Viewer v1.22.11.0 release 11(stable branch, Windlight renderer) can be downloaded now from http://sldev.free.fr/.

enjoy !
