This page is for reverting the XML and viewer artwork files in the 1.20 viewer back to their pre-1.20 viewer state. There are several steps you need to go through to rebuild the classic viewer look.
Editing the XML files
Editing the XML files can be a tedious, and any error (even a " missing or out of place) will cause the viewer to crash on startup. For convenience, I've uploaded the necessary changes xml files here. If you'd like to make the changes the yourself, here are the files and parameters you need to update:
colors.xml
textures.xml
Viewer Artwork
Starting from scratch
Most of the viewer artwork is in the source drop. Head to the Source_archive and download the 1.9.1.4 artwork file. Under linden\indra\newview\skins\textures you'll find the majority artwork files for the classic skin as either .tga or .j2c (Jpeg2000 files). All are named as UUIDs, and will need to be renamed. Several files need to be converted to .tga. These are:
Renamed artwork files
If you wish to skip this step (and I recommend you do) I've renamed all the viewer artwork for you and attached them to a zip file. You can download that file here.
Installing
Once you have downloaded the XML/artwork files above, or created your own, installation is straightforward:
- Copy colors.xml to \SecondLifeReleaseCandidate\app_settings\
- Copy textures.xml to \SecondLifeReleaseCandidate\skins\textures
- Copy all artwork to \SecondLifeReleaseCandidate\skins\textures
Congratulations, you now have a Classic skin for Dazzle.
