[Opensim-users] toward a new client

Fri Dec 5 11:34:16 UTC 2008

Hi everyone,

Kirstenlee Cinquetti is right now doing an effort to create a crossplatform
rexviewer, see our discussion today:

[12:08:50] kirstenlee.cinquetti sanoo: currently im merging realextend into
a openlife type viewer which uses cmake , which in turn will produce builds
on all 3 formats
[12:09:28] kirstenlee.cinquetti sanoo: its a rather bigger job than
anticipated
[12:10:38] kirstenlee.cinquetti sanoo: and some of the Realextend code uses
LLString as opposed to std::string , this is causing a few issues as some
Rex code uses NULLS
[12:11:17] jani.pirkola sanoo: okay, do you need help?
[12:12:22] kirstenlee.cinquetti sanoo: things are fine at the moment, but i
will pass back some changes into the code which will make it a little more
portable accross the 3 platforms
[12:13:23] kirstenlee.cinquetti sanoo: at this moment its just a case of
merging and building and seeing were any major problems may lie
[12:14:26] jani.pirkola sanoo: do you mind if I post to opensim-users that
you are doing that work now? They are discussing aboout reviewer and linux
and I would like to point all the resources thay might have to you
[12:16:56] kirstenlee.cinquetti sanoo: sure you can mention it, basically
its the current openlife viewer and taking the realextend trunk and merging
step by step into a cmake based setup, hopefully when the process is
complete i can farm back the entire source which should be totally buildable
on all 3 platforms with no major issues ( other than branding ) which would
be easy to change

 I just googled this, may be of help? (someone else is having a go at it)

http://www.rexdeveloper.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54

If not, the people at #Realxtend may be able to give you 10 minutes of their
time to aid on this quest. :)

I tried this morning to build the client on linux, but it was a complete
no-go.

There is -nothing- there to support a linux compile.

Cheers

Getting the thread back to its original purpose.

This is a call for testing of the Rex client on OpenSim regions on various
grids including OSGrid. I believe it is time for us to strive to help the
community by finding a Zealot who will move forward in testing the existing
Rex client and report on IRC progress as he/she moves forward.

If one of our erstwhile IRC folks would like to take up that banner, I
believe it will help us out.

I would like to suggest that a "zealot" on IRC take this one and start a
group testing and reporting on #opensim.

The Rex client should connect to an OpenSim region or a grid like OSGrid. It
may have some problems, but this is the time to start getting configurations
worked out and getting this client working on OpenSim more formally.

The Windows client is fine for now. Lets get it up and running and talk
about it. The Rex folks have put a lot of effort in getting to this stage
and we can help all of us by using and testing the Rex client and discussing
it on our #opensim IRC channel on FreeNode.

"Zealot" needed now! Pay is non-existent, hours are long, glory is
significant.

Hi

I must say I'm impressed. The graphics looks really nice, far far beyond
anything SL can offer both in looks and animation.
And the little game play demo must be among the best/most useful thing
I've ever seen in the Second Life universe.

For those here who haven't done it - I highly recommend you download
viewer and local server, unzip it and have a quick go at the game (click
statued fish to teleport outside).
I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised when you run it.

Looking forward to having the REX viewer/features work with vanilla
OpenSim+REX modules. :)
Great work!

BR,
Tedd

If you haven't tried it yet, go to:

http://www.realxtend.org/page.php?pg=downloads

and try out the new client and server. Apparently, later on this month
or
next, this viewer will connect to the opensim trunk (rather than the
forked
project that it is now).

The sea world is great! Lots of new features.
