New Linux enhanced viewer: The Cool SL Viewer

no way to choose starting location from login screen? (Cool SL Viewer v1.21.2.0 release 3)

Have you got the Restrained Life Viewer option turned on in Edit-Preferences-Cool Features? The RLV removes the option of choosing log-in location.

yes, turned off now, tyvm. what is the function of that RLV option? could it give more performance if turned on or off? or what else?
tyvm!

The RLV option activates the Restrained Life features described in the file RestrainedLifeReadme.txt that you will find in the main Cool Viewer folder. As that document puts, it "This custom viewer is aimed at BDSM fans in SL who wish to enhance their experience by letting other people (such as their owners) take control of some of their abilities. In order to use its features, the Dom/me has to operate items (typically restraints) that the sub wears, but only the sub needs to use this viewer in that situation."

The point of the options' removing the choice of login location is to stop me from escaping from a cage, for example, by simply logging out and then back in somewhere else. Since the viewer, when I'm logged out, has no way of knowing what my circumstances were immediately before I logged out, that option is always disabled when the RLV is turned on. It's a nuisance at times, certainly, but one that's easily avoided unless you're into BDSM games.

tyvm Innula for your reply

Because of a vulnerability in all existing viewers (see http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2008/09/26/post256/ for details), here are three new releases, available for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 29
Cool SL Viewer v1.20.16.0 release 1
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.3.0 release 1

They all (yes, 1.19.0.5 included) plug that vulnerability.

The Cool SL Viewer v1.21.4.0 release 1 (experimental viewer) is available for Linux on http://sldev.free.fr/

Enjoy !

Because of a vulnerability in all existing viewers (see http://status.secondlifegrid.net/2008/10/06/post275/ for details), here are two new releases, available for Linux from http://sldev.free.fr/

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 31
Cool SL Viewer v1.20.17.0 release 1

They both (yes, 1.19.0.5 included) plug that vulnerability.

For the experimental, v1.21 branch, I will wait for LL to publish the v1.21.5RC sources before updating it.

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 33

They add two new patches by Zi Ree (among which a new teleport history floater).

All Windows versions and a Mac build for 1.19.0.5 have been updated as well.

And since LL just released the official v1.21.6 viewer, I just made the Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 1 available for Linux on http://sldev.free.fr/

Yet two new releases...

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 34
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 2

They both fix a problem with teleports above 1000m and the v1.21.6.0 release 2 fixes a distribution problem (wrong gridargs.dat file packaged in release 1).

Me found her whip. And after I caught Marine I come after you Henri

Thanks!
Boy

Is this just a menace, or a promise ?...

And two more releases !!!... Really cool ones (with many new cool patches):

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 35 (with Mono compilation support !)
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 3

See the homepage for a list of what's new in each release (http://sldev.free.fr/).

Enjoy !

PS (for Boy Lane): still waiting for the whipping... As you can see, these new releases are just one more provocation from my part.

After some bug hunting headache and completely misleading error messages I'm happy to announce that we finally have a Mono capable, non-Windlight viewer for Windows . 1.19.0.5 in release 35 (!) is up for grabs. Thats the absolutely fastest viewer you can get these days. Enjoy!

(P.S. Henri, I'm in a lil bit of trouble right now, can't IM nor open your notecards . 1st life helps )

And there is now a 35a release for Windows that can finally save and load scripts from your local drive .

how do I open SL when it appears on my linux desktop. It seems to have an executable file that can only work in windows - i'm downloading the linux beta version from the website.

thanks
