Update on using Dayturn with SecondLife

[Geir Nøklebye]

Linden Lab has officially announced withdrawal of support for asset fetch via UDP. Consequently it cannot be expected that an attempted login to SecondLife grid with the Dayturn viewer will succeed.

The viewer will not be able to fetch a number of asset types, including

• sounds
• landmarks
• clothing
• body parts
• animations
• gestures
• meshes

This will also make the start of the work of removing SecondLife-specific functionality from the viewer, such as support for the integrated SecondLife Marketplace (SLM), and Pathfinding.

For users who want a dedicated, well-maintained viewer for SecondLife, we recommend our cousin, Kokua.

The official announcement can be found on the SecondLife Blog

Obsolete Asset Fetch Disabled

At the time, we did not disable the UDP fetching...

Linden Lab has finally turned off fetch of many asset types via UDP, and Dayturn is therefore not a practical tool for use in SecondLife any longer.
