how to play in a seperate window

how can i play second life in two seperate windows?

welcome to the forums, chase. FINALLY!

right click your SL icon on your desktop
scroll down to "properties"
in the line that says "target" you should see "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe"
make one space with space bar
add -multiple after the last parenthesis

hi 3ring i did what u said but when i look in my target it has already got -set install language en .? what is that? im afraid to erase it and put what u are saying cause i dont know what it means?

Don't erase it, add a space and

--multiple

to the end of whatever's there.

ok after u do that and hit apply then how do u use it ?

It means to set the installer language to English. Which is the default anyway, so doesn't matter much if it is there or not, unless you are running a non-English-language operating system.

Launch SL normally, using that shortcut. Then use that same shortcut and launch it again, logging in with an alt. Both windows will be on-screen, and you can click from one to the other to determine which is active. The first login and second login must be different accounts, as you can't log in as one person on two instances at once (No virtual twins!).

But the two avatars don't have to remain together. Your main could go shopping while your alt minds the store or dances.

Note: I seem to recall that Voice doesn't behave well with multiple instances running. Only one will have voice active.

Never mind .





Do not delete anything .. Just add "space"-multiple to the end of your "target" line .

ok can i still add it after the language thing? or do i remove the language ?

keep the language thing. DON'T change or delete anything. just make one space and add

-multiple

ok ty

You don't need to do that anymore- open advanced menu- Ctrl alt D - then go to Debug drop down the window to AlloMultiple Viewers and change to True.

ok ty Amaranthim learn more everyday

that reminds me.. u can go to advanced and debug and afk u set it to something like 999999 and it makes it so u never log off even if u are afk.. of course u still cant minimize the window.. it still has to be open but does anyone recall what im talking about ? and if so can u refresh my memory

Advanced > Debug Settings

Type in AFKTimeout

Change value. However, this is also in the 'General' tab of preferences.

ok but i forget what u change the value to? i remember something like 9999999 or 7777777 i cant remember ?

Any really big number will do. It's seconds, so 9999999 would come out to 2777 hours, which is well over 100 days.

oh ok .. i c its not a special number its just the number of seconds ty i understand now.. mine is by default set to 10,000 sec i wonder how many days that is ?

2.78 hours.

It's not hard to calculate.

Seconds divided by 60 = minutes.

Minutes divided by 60 = hours.

Hours divided by 24 = days.

Days divided by 365 = years (Not counting the extra day in leap years)

Years divided by ten = decades

Decades divided by ten = centuries

Centuries divided by ten = millennia

Much simpler...
