Thank you very much. Now Rei is instaled correctly, but OpenViewerHost.exe could not open the texture file…I can’t open Open Sim. Is there any solution?!

Hi Mariana,

From the error you gave above, it seems that you don’t have the core viewer binaries in place.

Before you can compile the firefox plugin, you will need to compile the core viewer (3di/3di-viewer-rei on github – this is because the firefox codes require a non-bsd license). When that is done, copy the following dlls to the firefox source’s bin\ folder:
Adapter.dll
Interfaces.dll
Nini.dll
OpenViewer.dll
OpenMetaverse.dll
OpenMetaverseTypes.dll

Then you should be able to build the c# bootstrap project and then the firefox plugin (c++) project. The process is unfortunately not very streamlined if you use express edition of visual studio.

For step-by-step instructions, you can always refer to http://3di-rei.org/developers/compiling-3di-viewer-rei/compiling-3di-viewer-rei-firefox-plugin/index.html

Let me know how this works, or if it still doesn’t, which step fails for you.

Hello Zaki, I tried to instal 3Di Rei Viewer on Vista and on a last step – compiling the Firefox plugin with the Visual C# 2008 express compiler.I had this message for 3 errors:

Error 1 The type or namespace name ‘Viewer’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\SRC\3di-viewer-rei-firefox\3DiOpenViewer\bootstrap\Bootstrap.cs 43 26 OpenViewer.bootstrap

Error 2 The type or namespace name ‘OpenViewerConfigSource’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\SRC\3di-viewer-rei-firefox\3DiOpenViewer\bootstrap\Bootstrap.cs 45 26 OpenViewer.bootstrap

Error 3 The type or namespace name ‘Viewer’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\SRC\3di-viewer-rei-firefox\3DiOpenViewer\bootstrap\Bootstrap.cs 167 26 OpenViewer.bootstrap

Can you give me,please an advice, how to repair this?!
Thank’s

Hi Mariana,

You are probably using xulrunner 1.9.1. There has been some change in that minor version (like npupp.h renamed to npfunctions.h). I can see the same problem now on my environment with 1.9.1 so I’ll investigate and try to fix it.

In the meantime, you can use 1.9.0, that should work properly.

Let me know how it goes.

I tried to login to the 3DI server but only see a skybox there using Firefox. With internet explorer I get nothing except a tiny dot in the center of the viewer window that seems to move it bit. The dot is a few pixels large.

I did manage to connect to OSgrid by using your viewer template here on your blog, when using Firefox everything renders well, I can even use the high detail settings and see the day night cycle in the skybox and the water renders fine. With internet explorer using Windows XP service pack 2 nothing happens.

I can run just about anything without problems but for some reasons Internet Explorer isn’t doing anything. I did run the standard viewer from within your application folder and then I could browse the default store just fine but no avatar showed there not even a cloud. In OSgrid I see myself as a cloud. Looking forward to see more improvement.

Keep up the good work

Hi Nithin,

3Di has released the viewer as open source and my changes for the texture download are included, so you can connect to opensim and see the textures.

Take a look at http://3di-rei.org for more info.
