If you find a viewer which can connect to OpenSimulator then please add it to the bottom of the appropriate list.

= Viewers with Grid Selector and Grid Manager =

Below are viewers that have both a grid selector and a "Grid Manager". It enables you to select one of the many [[Grid List|grids]], including a grid or region on localhost (your own PC). There is also a UI interface to allow you to modify or add connection settings to these grids.

* [http://alchemyviewer.com/ Alchemy Viewer] - v3 based TPV with full OpenSimulator support written from the ground up and geared towards hypergrid.
* [http://sldev.free.fr/ Cool VL Viewer] - the oldest of all actively maintained Third Party Viewers (former name: Cool SL Viewer) OpenSimulator is fully supported.
* [http://hypergrid.org/metropolis/wiki/en/index.php/Downloads Hippo Viewer] - a fork of version SL Viewer 1.23 with OpenSimulator specific enhancements.
* [http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ Firestorm viewer] v3 based TPV, the successor to Phoenix. The most widely used viewer on Second Life. OpenSimulator is fully supported with its own version.
* [http://kokuaveviewer.org/ Kokua] v3 based successor of Imprudence.

= Text-only Viewers =
These are lightweight viewers, which either do not offer a graphical component or where the graphical component is not used by deault. The function of these viewers however is to connect to a grid, chat, manage inventory, etc. Useful on systems with low specifications or for bringing an alt online without having your main avatar log out, or to quickly take care of messages, inventory, etc.

* [http://www.metabolt.net/ METAbolt] - METAbolt is a non-graphical (text based) viewer. It's light weight and cross grid, which means it will work in Second Life™ as well as other grids that are based on OpenSIM. The viewer is Open Source so it's free. Currently METAbolt is only available for Windows platforms.
* [http://www.mobilegridclient.com/ Mobile Grid Client] - A Second Life and OpenSim (Open Simulator) messaging client for your Android powered device (mobile phone, cell phone, tablet...).

Talk:Varregion

Nicky Perian: Default regions require size variables to be set in regions.ini

I found at least using Kokua varregion viewer >= 3074X that it would crash when teleporting from a large region to a standard region.
Adding the SizeX=256 and SizeY=256 corrected the issue.
