Compatible Viewers
Before you can connect to OpenSim, you'll need to have downloaded one of the following clients that can connect to OpenSim.
- Linden Client (release version is the only fully supported viewer.)
- Hippo Viewer - a fork of the Linden Client with OpenSim specific enhancements
- RealXtend - a fork of the Linden Client that has specialized features (is not fully supported yet.)
Connecting with the Linden Viewer
Every OpenSim grid or instance will specify a loginuri, which is a uri of the form http://someserver:9000 (standalone mode) or http://someserver:8002 (grid mode). For instance, for osgrid, this is http://osgrid.org:8002. The following sections assume that you have that uri. We'll use http://osgrid.org:8002 as our example url.
A list of major public grids can be found at Grid_List. OSGrid is just one of many available.
Linux
- change directory to you viewer (SecondLife_XYZ)
- run
./secondlife -loginuri http://osgrid.org:8002
Windows
- make a copy of the SecondLife icon on your desktop
- rename it to the grid you want to connect to
- edit the properties on the icon and set the command line to
...\SecondLife.exe" -loginuri http://osgrid.org:8002
Mac
- Make a 'somefilename.sh' file, and put this in it:
- /Applications/Second\ Life.app/Contents/MacOS/Second\ Life -loginuri http://osgrid.org:8002/
- set it to executable
- run it
Alternative Connection Approaches
Via a Web Browser
You can also set up a Browser Protocol Handler which will make opensim:// links in your browser do the expected thing, and launch the right OpenSim viewer.
