CoolViewer and Some Updates

I have updated my own three versions to fix a few things.

Before going into the details though, I would like to mention that I have been looking around current viewers I found Henry's and Boy's work excellent (gives them a double thumbs up). There may yet be other good alternate viewers out there, but running the latest CoolViewer just gave me a very nice experience ... good straightforward GUI, crash proof and newest features. They have been around almost as long as my viewers and they are certainly trustworthy, even if you raise an eyebrow about the RLV-extension (which is disabled by default and which you will not even notice unless you turn it on). Highly recommended!

However if you want to stick with Nicholaz Edition anyway, the new changes I made include a crash with new sculpties (oblong scupt maps) and include something to handle a possibly 'breaking' server change which Teh Lab said they wanted to implement in the future. The oblong scuplties still don't render correctly (they look more like an explosion in the prim factory) but at least they will not crash the viewer whenever you get near one.

For download instructions etc. just see the previous install/release notes. You'll find them jumping from the version overview to the respective three flavors and just ignore references in the text regarding the specific EC/BE/OS version numbers. The new versions are EC-i, BE-z and OS-r and the instructions are still valid otherwise.

I don't expect any problems, but it's been a while since I built a viewer, so I will leave the previous versions on the server (you can roll back by simply installing the previous version if something isn't working).

Update: Latif made me aware of another security patch. I am uploading EyeCandy with version h this moment and will include it also in the upcoming OldSchool and Bleeding edge viewers. Please make sure to read the Install.txt file regarding the message_template.msg file.

Again, the version numbers with the fixes are EC-i BE-z and OS-r.

Enjoy your other reality ...
