I didn't see a thread here for this new viewer, but i saw it mentioned in another thread and am trying it.

Lordgreggreg released his own viewer today, called Emergence.

Its seems virtually the same as the Emerald 2270, but without the dramaz and with some minor aesthetic differences.

It looks like it is only available for Windows atm.

http://code.google.com/p/emergence-viewer/

Kabalyero · 08-22-2010, 06:24 PM

I haven't used Emerald for some months so I wouldn't know the difference but it does load images fast.

Cool VL Viewer 1.23.5.xx gives me a better framerate, though...

Still, for Emerald users, Emergence is a good alternative until they find a viewer they can switch too...

I have decided to do what I can to help, and have created my own private project, the “Emergence Viewer” which is simply a clone of the latest emerald source code I had, compiled and produced in a way where all binaries are either provided from a well known trusted source (such as linden lab or openjpeg), or myself. emergence-viewer - Project Hosting on Google Code Because of limited resources available, I will only be able to provide a windows binary. If you learn anything from this whole experience (I have learned numerous), do not ever trust binaries that you do not fully trust the source of! If you do not know me or have a good reason to trust me, do not use this binary! However, since I am the only developer on this project, I can fully promise that emergence will be entirely free of any malware or hidden code of any kind to the very best of my ability. I am happy to be fully responsible for everything in it directly, though I do not take the credit for it, as most of the code is from other generous developers who have given freely of themselves.
I do not plan on updating or making changes to this viewer unless absolutely necessary, this is a last minute salvage operation, nothing more.

(what did I do?)

I just installed Emergence and when the splash screen came up it said "You need to update Emergence! Go HERE now!"

Well of course I'm not going anywhere without LGG saying himself that it's safe to do so. Has anyone else received this message after installing the viewer? It's not that I don't trust LGG, it's that I don't trust others out there with their own agendas.

Kabalyero · 08-24-2010, 12:50 PM

I think that's an update. The one I have installed is version 1.5 but the one in Google Code is version 1.5.0.1

He must have done a minor fix or something.

Adeon Writer · 08-24-2010, 01:18 PM

Thanks LGG!

Galen McGinnis · 08-24-2010, 02:11 PM

Solid and swift, no more can be asked, thanks LGG.

DarkStorm Paine · 08-24-2010, 02:40 PM

I am really really interested in this viewer but the first install the other day (prior to this update) ate up memory like crazy (700,000) and I'd love to use it save for that since that's almost all of available memory I have on my older computer.

Vaelissa Cortes · 08-24-2010, 03:12 PM

Well, after trying everything, I still get this when trying to run the viewer:

Oh well.

Kabalyero · 08-24-2010, 03:27 PM

He has this fix on the same site. It's under the Issues tab.

Please, don't stop doing what you're doing

I forgot to copy down the breast physics settings before I uninstalled Emerald and now I have to figure them out again for Emergence! Does anybody have them?

Predreus · 08-25-2010, 07:33 PM

Keep it up LGG!

**Innocent** · 08-25-2010, 08:55 PM

Hi Aztec, can I suggest you change the link in your first post, so it points to the main page emergence-viewer - Project Hosting on Google Code

It points to the download page for Emergence 1.5.0 and a new user could easily get the impression that is the only / current version.

You get used to it after a while. I always seem to have people adding a Y to my name. It is Kalor, not Kaylor, even though the pronunciation is the same.

lol...there IS an Aztec Aeon in SL and that person has made quite a few $L off me, when people who meant to send me money, sent it to that account instead.

One person sent 31K O-o. Fortunately LL helped out.

That would be a problem. Glad LL helped on that 31K one.

Persephone Milk · 08-26-2010, 04:55 AM

I installed Emergence last night and it has worked very well for me. Thank you LordGregGreg

Some antivirus apps seems to be very very sensitive to some installers, and the way they handle files or connections. We had that issue with one of the Emerald installers before, and just recently a friend told me they had issues with the 1.5.0.1 installer and Norton.

The only way to make sure there is to simply let a second good antivirus app check it (I would suggest the online virustotal scanner, but it only allows 20mb uploads). Usually it shows that it's a false positive.

I'm not sure if it's an issue with the free installer package systems, or antivirus apps being more geared to handle proprietary install solutions like Installshield.
