]]> Comment on Virtual Progress by Angelo Biondi http://newmediaonthego.com/blog/2008/05/18/virtual-progress/#comment-229 Angelo Biondi Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:37:43 +0000 http://newmediaonthego.com/blog/?p=70#comment-229 Great article. Just a couple of actualizations, at the moment the Folder backup in Second Inventory is working already since some versions and the Opensim embedded Script upload was implemented since the 1.2.0.3, S.I. runs very fast :) Regarding the textures part, I would like to remind that full perms Textures can be locally saved and so, re-uploaded in sl also with the regular second life client. When a customer buy a texture set, he agrees with the license with the one they are delivered, if he infringes that license it can't be considered a Second Inventory's exploit and neither an sl one, but rather his choice. In Second Inventory we denied exportation of items that aren't full perms, emulating the standard client's behavior. Unfortunately we can't check the license or the agreements between seller/buyer unless they are not technically readable. Best regards Great article.

You can use the Java 5 JRE that's included in Leopard. The issue you have to fix first, however, is that Mac OS includes old Java 3D libraries which are incompatible with Wonderland. The solution is to follow the instructions in step 2 of the following article to remove the out-of-date libraries: http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javadesktop/ProjectWonderlandMacOSX Note that contrary to the instructions, Java 6 is not required to run the latest version of Wonderland.

However, now that I've got it running I think I like Debian better anyway. I've kept my Ubuntu VM on my hard disk anyway, though. Thanks, Anonymous! Good link.
