Tonya Souther: /* Viewers with Grid Selector and Grid Manager */

{{thirdparty}}

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://hypergrid.org/metropolis/wiki/en/index.php/Downloads Hippo Viewer] - a fork of version 1.23 of the Linden Client with OpenSimulator specific enhancements
* [http://imprudenceviewer.org/ Imprudence] Innovative viewer with a high focus on OpenSimulator (good [[OSSL]] support). Highly popular amongst users on [[Grid List/OSGrid|OSGrid]].
* [http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ Firestorm viewer] v3 based TPV, the successor to Phoenix. The most widely used viewer on Second Life, with the best features from Phoenix. OpenSimulator is fully supported with its own version.
* [http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ Phoenix Viewer] Based on the now discontinued Emerald Viewer (which was based on the 1.23 LL viewer), one of the most popular viewers. Combines many improvements and features from different viewers. (No longer supported)
* [http://www.singularityviewer.org/ Singularity] - A V1 based viewer, with all the good stuff from v2/3 added. Supports [[Mesh]], [[OSSL]], [[LightShare]], Alpha, Tattoos and Physics, multiple attachments per joint, multiple clothing layers, inventory links, etc...
* [http://sldev.free.fr/ Cool VL Viewer] - the oldest of all actively maintained Third Party Viewers (former name: Cool SL Viewer), fully OpenSimulator compatible. It also got support for [[Mesh]], Alpha, Tattoos and Physics, multiple attachments per joint, multiple clothing layers, inventory links, etc...
* [http://lumiyaviewer.com Lumiya viewer] - A Second Life and OpenSimulator viewer for Android.

= Viewers with Grid Selector Only =

These viewers don't have a Grid Manager, but you can a grid from a list, including localhost. You may need to manually edit a configuration file in order to connect to grids that are not originally included.

* [http://imprudenceviewer.org/ Kokua] v2/3 based successor of Imprudence. Currently in alpha/experimental stage.

= Viewers without Grid Selector =

'''Note: After LL 3.3.4, the --loginuri parameter was removed from the official Linden viewer. There is now no simple way to use this viewer to log in to OpenSimulator.'''. You will need to launch this viewer with a --loginuri command line parameter to connect to OpenSimulator grids. See [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_parameters] for the syntax of this command, or visit the support section on the homepage of your preferred grid.

* [http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ Second Life Viewer]

= 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://radegast.org Radegast Metaverse Client] Works with OpenSim-based grids, as well as with SL. Has Windows, MacOS and Linux versions.
* [https://bitbucket.org/jchauhan/jopenmetaverse JOpenMetaverse] Purely Java based OpenSim client core library. Windows, MacOS,, Linux and Android Compatible. Please see [http://www.slideshare.net/jchauhan/jopenmeraverse-introduction jopenmetaverse introduction]

= Inactive Viewers =
* [[RealXtend]] - a fork of the 1.23 Linden Client that has specialized features (not fully supported.)
* [http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/idealistviewer/ Idealist viewer]
* [http://3di-rei.org/ 3Di viewer]
* [[Xenki]], an XBAP 3D application intended to be a browser add-on for OpenSimulator.
* [http://lookingglassviewer.org/wiki/Main_Page Looking Glass viewer], Discontinued. Only OSGrid, ScienceSim and localhost are available from the list.
* [http://dolphinviewer.eregion.de/ Dolphin Viewer] v3 based viewer, but v1 and v2 based versions are also available. Contains modifications which are useful for building, sailing, and for using vehicles. '''No longer supports OpenSimulator with new versions due to LL licensing changes and code constraints. Last version 3.3.19 that works with OpenSimulator still available.

Tonya Souther: /* Viewers with Grid Selector and Grid Manager */ updating Firestorm and Phoenix

{{thirdparty}}

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://hypergrid.org/metropolis/wiki/en/index.php/Downloads Hippo Viewer] - a fork of version 1.23 of the Linden Client with OpenSimulator specific enhancements
* [http://imprudenceviewer.org/ Imprudence] Innovative viewer with a high focus on OpenSimulator (good [[OSSL]] support). Highly popular amongst users on [[Grid List/OSGrid|OSGrid]].
* [http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ Firestorm viewer] v3 based TPV, the successor to Phoenix. The most widely used viewer on Second Life, with the best features from Phoenix. OpenSimulator is fully supported.
* [http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ Phoenix Viewer] Based on the now discontinued Emerald Viewer (which was based on the 1.23 LL viewer), one of the most popular viewers. Combines many improvements and features from different viewers. (No longer supported)
* [http://www.singularityviewer.org/ Singularity] - A V1 based viewer, with all the good stuff from v2/3 added. Supports [[Mesh]], [[OSSL]], [[LightShare]], Alpha, Tattoos and Physics, multiple attachments per joint, multiple clothing layers, inventory links, etc...
* [http://sldev.free.fr/ Cool VL Viewer] - the oldest of all actively maintained Third Party Viewers (former name: Cool SL Viewer), fully OpenSimulator compatible. It also got support for [[Mesh]], Alpha, Tattoos and Physics, multiple attachments per joint, multiple clothing layers, inventory links, etc...
* [https://bitbucket.org/Zena_Juran/zen-viewer Zen viewer] A Second Life® and OpenSim V3-Viewer for the Windows OS.
* [http://lumiyaviewer.com Lumiya viewer] - A Second Life and OpenSimulator viewer for Android.

= Viewers with Grid Selector Only =

These viewers don't have a Grid Manager, but you can a grid from a list, including localhost. You may need to manually edit a configuration file in order to connect to grids that are not originally included.

* [http://imprudenceviewer.org/ Kokua] v2/3 based successor of Imprudence. Currently in alpha/experimental stage.

= Viewers without Grid Selector =

'''Note: After LL 3.3.4, the --loginuri parameter was removed from the official Linden viewer. There is now no simple way to use this viewer to log in to OpenSimulator.'''. You will need to launch this viewer with a --loginuri command line parameter to connect to OpenSimulator grids. See [http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_parameters] for the syntax of this command, or visit the support section on the homepage of your preferred grid.

* [http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/ Second Life Viewer]

= 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://radegast.org Radegast Metaverse Client] Works with OpenSim-based grids, as well as with SL. Has Windows, MacOS and Linux versions.
* [https://bitbucket.org/jchauhan/jopenmetaverse JOpenMetaverse] Purely Java based OpenSim client core library. Windows, MacOS,, Linux and Android Compatible. Please see [http://www.slideshare.net/jchauhan/jopenmeraverse-introduction jopenmetaverse introduction]

= Inactive Viewers =
* [[RealXtend]] - a fork of the 1.23 Linden Client that has specialized features (not fully supported.)
* [http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/idealistviewer/ Idealist viewer]
* [http://3di-rei.org/ 3Di viewer]
* [[Xenki]], an XBAP 3D application intended to be a browser add-on for OpenSimulator.
* [http://lookingglassviewer.org/wiki/Main_Page Looking Glass viewer], Discontinued. Only OSGrid, ScienceSim and localhost are available from the list.
* [http://dolphinviewer.eregion.de/ Dolphin Viewer] v3 based viewer, but v1 and v2 based versions are also available. Contains modifications which are useful for building, sailing, and for using vehicles. '''No longer supports OpenSimulator with new versions due to LL licensing changes and code constraints. Last version 3.3.19 that works with OpenSimulator still available.

Autorestart With Upstart

== What is upstart? ==

From the official description:

:[http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ Upstart] is an event-based replacement for the <tt>/sbin/init</tt> daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running.

:It was originally developed for the Ubuntu distribution, but is intended to be suitable for deployment in all Linux distributions as a replacement for the venerable System-V <tt>init</tt>.

== Monitoring/restarting OpenSimulator with upstart ==

The following assumes you're running OpenSimulator within GNU screen, so one can detach and reattach to the console. But that's not required to use upstart. It also assumes Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (or derivatives, like Linux Mint 13).

Create a file, <tt>/etc/init/opensim.conf</tt> , containing the following:

start on runlevel [!06]
stop on runlevel [06]

post-stop script
OSPID=`ps -ef | grep opensim | grep 'mono OpenSim.exe' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
kill $OSPID
end script

exec /bin/su - opensim -c "/usr/bin/screen -h 0 -D -m -U -S OpenSim -c /var/run/opensim/opensim.screenrc"
respawn

# give up if I respawn 3 times in 60 seconds...
respawn limit 3 60

If you are running MySQL, you can cause OpenSim to start after MySQL starts successfully by replacing the first two lines with:

start on started mysql
stop on stopping mysql

Create a file, <tt>/var/run/opensim/opensim.screenrc</tt> , containing the following:

multiuser on
acladd <controlusers>
aclchg <controlusers> +rwx "#?"
chdir /usr/lib/opensim/bin
screen -h 500 -t opensim mono OpenSim.exe -console=basic

where <controlusers> is a comma-separated list of users you want to give control of the OpenSimulator console to. This is needed if you run OpenSim as a service user account you never actually log in to. Note that that account must be created with a real shell.

Then, to start or stop OpenSimulator, just use:

# start opensim

or:

# stop opensim

If OpenSimulator dies on its own, upstart will automatically restart it unless it dies three times within 60 seconds.

To connect to OpenSimulator with screen, use:

# screen -r opensim/

(or use <tt>sudo</tt>, if desired). Note that this will only work from the Unix userids you've specified in <controlusers> above.
