=== Cool VL Viewer ===
''' Description '''
This viewer was created and is maintained by {{User|Henri Beauchamp}} (This viewer was formerly known as the "Cool SL Viewer" and its first public release was v1.18.4.3, released on 2007-11-16). It combines elements of several of the other viewers, as well as extra features, bug fixes and extra patches, all very carefully tested.
It puts emphasis on high UI coherency from one version to the other (meaning no bad surprise for "old timers") while staying in sync with Linden Lab's official viewer features, high stability and reliability, and a high reactivity to new patches and bug fixes provided by the Open Source community.
'''The Cool VL Viewer is TPV policy compliant.''' Please see [http://sldev.free.fr/CoolVLViewerReadme.html its TPV TOS].
''' Extra Features '''
* Reverses many of the unpopular interface changes, restoring separate friends and groups floaters and reinstating the packet loss and bandwidth indicators, the old toolbar and buttons layouts, the old/normal commands layout in the pie menus, the "All(old)" search tab, the old style (name-sortable) "Groups" search tab, the "Fly" button in the movement controls floater, and '''optionally''' reinstating the old, more visible, status bar icons and/or tracking dots in the mini-map, and the old chat history floater (without chat input line). Also fixes some UI regressions (missing buttons in some floaters, or visited landmarks tracking in inventory for example).
* Implements the "RestrainedLove" API (formerly known as "RestrainedLife"), based on Marine Kelley's reference patch (switchable and disabled by default).
* Allows to configure the date and time formats to match your locale or personal preferences (including with optional seconds for chat and IM timestamps).
* Allows to wear/remove attachments and clothing items on double-click in inventory.
* Allows to optionally prevent notifications to show and be logged in the main chat.
* Allows to disable typing sounds.
* MUD/MUSH/MUCK/MUX style "poses" (i.e. you can type ":" instead of "/me " to emote), and OOC double parenthesis auto-close (i.e. you can type: "((phone, BRB" and it will show as "((phone, BRB))").
* Allows to hide the "Master volume" when not needed in the panel overlay.
* Allows to build large prims (up to 256m in any or all dimensions) on OpenSim (not on SL, because of server-side limitations).
* Improved friends list floater (with info about what your friends allow you to see: tehri online status and/or their position on the map).
* Improved build tools floater (smaller increments in several parameters, extra "slice" parameter for some prims, transparency up to 100%, check box toggle for drag distance limit, adjustable number of decimals in Object tab for the position/size/rotation parameters, "Align" tool). Also allows to set the "invisible" texture from the texture picker (for invisi-prims).
* Improved texture preview floater (with aspect ratio combo).
* Improved notecard floater (with Edit menu and Search/replace feature).
* Improved mini-map with panning, larger zooming range, specific symbol for avatars above 1024m (work around for a limitation of current server and viewer versions), etc...
* Improved beacons: can filter beacons based on owner (you, others or anyone), can highlight attachments, can dissociate non-object sound sources, can keep beacons "always on" even when the beacons floater is closed.
* Allows to export and import objects you own and created as XML files (for backup and restore purpose, or to transfer objects from one grid to another).
* Allows to connect to all existing grids (and not only LL's) from the login screen.
* Allows network bandwidth up to 10000Kbps.

Linden Lab Viewers

The following viewer is available on the official Downloads page:

Second Life Viewer (a.k.a. the official Viewer, regular Viewer, official viewer etc.)

Official Alternate Viewers

When Linden Lab viewer projects are nearing release they will often initially release a Project Viewer, and subsequently a Release Candidate Viewer (marked as 'Release') as they are nearing formal release. Occasionally a Beta Viewer may also be released for a particular project.

Linden Lab Official:Alternate Viewers
All the various official alternate viewers are listed here.
Development Viewer
Features and fixes that are still warm from the creative fires of development.

Old Releases

The Release Notes pages for many past versions contain links to the corresponding downloads. Note that some of these may be blocked from accessing the Second Life Grid because of their lack of support for new features.

KBwarning.png Warning: Past Viewer versions might have known security issues, can be partially or fully incompatible to current server versions and obviously will be lacking newer features. Use them at your own risk.

Third Party Directory Viewers

KBwarning.png Warning: The viewers listed here are not developed nor distributed by Linden Lab. Being listed here means only that the developers of the viewer have represented that they comply with the Policy on Third-Party Viewers and the Second Life Terms of Service. You are responsible for evaluating whether you want to use and share information with them.


Using third party viewers

You may connect to Second Life using software released by a third-party developer. Linden Lab provides a Policy on Third-Party Viewers to promote a positive and predictable experience for all Second Life Residents. Beware of third-party viewers that are not in the Viewer Directory: they have either declined to self-certify their compliance with Linden Lab policies or been refused for noncompliance with the policies.

Active Full Viewers

These viewers are projects that are updated regularly to track new developments in the Linden Lab viewer, and implement a full graphical environment.

For developers: how to apply to list a viewer in this directory

  1. Your Second Life accounts must be in good standing, must not be suspended, and must not have been permanently banned or terminated.
  2. You must have valid payment information on file with us or have been age verified by us.
  3. Review our Policy on Third-Party Viewers and the Second Life Terms of Service.
  4. Make sure you and your third-party viewer are in compliance with our policies.
  5. Open an Application Issue on the Third Party Viewer Github repository and submit it.


Reporting policy violations

If you believe that you have direct evidence that any third party viewer (whether listed in the Third Party Viewer Directory or not) may be in violation of the Second Life Terms of Service or the Policy on Third Party Viewers, you can file a violation report to be investigated.

Other Third Party Viewers

KBcaution.png Important: The following viewers have either not applied for or have been denied listings in the Third Party Viewer Directory.

Whether or not a viewer developer chooses to self-certify by applying for listing in the directory, all viewers connecting to Second Life must comply with the Policy on Third-Party Viewers; listing in the directory is not a requirement.

Rainbow Viewer / Cool Viewer

Description

Based on the offical SecondLife sourcecode licensed under GPL2, this speedy Metaverse Client can connect you to a huge variety of exciting Virtual Worlds! It incorporates a lot of improved, new, up- and backported features and fixes that make the fast and rock stable RV/CV the client of choice for many users.

This viewer includes many patches and changes from a lot of different people and sources which I am very grateful to be able to use. Credits are given to everyone I know, in case I missed someone I sincerely apologize.


Rainbow / Cool are TPV compliant.


Thanks to Henri Beauchamp who laid the foundation for this viewer with his Cool SL Viewer. Special thanks to Winter Ventura for the Cool Viewer logo and Jacek Antonelli and Peter Stindberg for the Rainbow Viewer logo :). And to all the others who helped and supported me, especially the people involved and behind Imprudence!


Some incomprehensive list of features

A major improvement is an up-to-date OpenGL implementation that especially helps users plagued by ATI's Catalyst drivers but also leads to measurable improvements of overall graphics performance by 30...100% compared to the official viewer; depending on your system. Rainbow Viewer features the current user interface whereas Cool Viewer spots the leaner cleaner and more configurable legacy UI. It's all about choice :).

  • New 1.22.12.0 code baseline
  • CV's legacy User interface with a clean, simple and userfriendly layout or Rainbow Viewers current official UI, you choose!
  • Improved Graphics rendering, especially for ATI users (measured > 1/3 faster than the official viewer)
  • Alpha and Tattoo Layer support from Second Life Viewer 2.x
  • Updated tested list of Virtual World grids
  • Marine Kelley's RestrainedLove (off per default)
  • Full Adult Compliance
  • Redesigned and "up-ported" search functionality, probably the best search in any viewer nowadays
  • Enhanced Breast Physics
  • Temporary texture and animation upload
  • Better inventory search for content, description and creator
  • Low lag radar and AV management tools
  • Viewer skinning
  • Object and Shape export/import, limited to creator
  • Bulk permission editing
  • Last owner display to track content theft
  • "Worn" tab in inventory
  • Double click to wear attachments
  • Enhanced building tools
  • Flexible Sculpties
  • Large Prims (currently only for Opensim grids due to SL limitations)
  • Maximized Network Bandwidth
  • Flexible Grid selection at login for SL and all OpenSims
  • Teleport History and speedy doubleclick teleport
  • Avatar UUID in profiles
  • Features tab in Preferences for easy switching of features
  • Optimized latest OpenJPEG 1.3
  • A large number of other goodies and stability fixes that improve your overall experience. Please check the Release Notes for details.

  • Instant messaging
  • Group chat
  • Search/join/leave groups
  • Search for avatars
  • Image retrieval
  • Profile retrieval

  • Teleportation (home, to area within current sim, to nearby avatar)
  • Nearby avatar tracking on map of Sim
  • Autopilot navigation to nearby avatars
  • URL highlighting
  • Encrypted traffic between client and transport
  • Transport can be run anywhere, the client connects via TCP/IP
  • Client only sends MD5 hashed password to transport
