Thursday, February 25, 2010By justinccHi folks. Just a brief blog post to remind people to take care when experimenting with Linden Lab’s Beta Second Life Viewer 2 with the current OpenSim builds. I’ve seen mixed reports of how well it works with OpenSim at the moment (some people seem to suffer a crash almost immediately while others seem to be able to use it to some extent).
However, according to John Hurliman the version of the OpenMetaverse library currently being used by OpenSim has a problem dealing with at least one of the new inventory packets in the 2.0 Viewer. This means that it’s not impossible that using the viewer with OpenSim today could inadvertently destroy some of your inventory items.
Chapter of virtual worlds - straightforward, well written, worth a read!
