Grider

Grider is a client for the safe Hypergrid based on LibOMV's GridProxy, and distributed under a BSD license. Its main goal is to explore the protocols that are appropriate for a globally decentralized Virtual Worlds system without having to develop a 3D render from scratch. As such, it wraps the existing Linden Lab-based viewers, both the official viewer and derivatives such as the Hippo, modifying their communications behavior externally -- no source code modification is involved.

Getting Grider
Precompiled packages:

http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/hypergrid/frs/

Sources:

http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/hypergrid/scmsvn/?action=AccessInfo

Installing
Unzip the zip file onto some directory.

Running
Run Grider.exe. The first time it runs it asks you for the path to your favorite viewer. This information is then stored in a file called Grider.ini. If you need to change the path to the viewer in the future, simply edit or remove that file.

Connecting to your grid
If you choose to use the official LL viewer, there are no more set up steps. The pictures below show examples of login information using the LL viewer. Enter your information accordingly.

If you choose to use the Hippo, you need an additional setup. Define a new grid whose loginuri is localhost:8080:
