Project+Black+Sun

Project Black Sun is an opensource virtual world. The system is living on a computer that is in my office. There are two things that are required for this project

The first thing is that you must sign up for an account, here: http://bit.ly/bxsnap

Once I send you your sign on credentials you need sign in to, pick out your own parcel, build on it, and bring items over to it from SL if/when you can (you can only bring items over that you are both the owner AND creator). In order to be able to export items you may need to use one of SL's approved **Third Party Vendors (TPVs)** (@http://viewerdirectory.secondlife.com/). We especially need scripts brought over and tested to make sure they work.

Here are the instructions I have for setting up a viewer on both a PC and Mac. If any of the information below is incorrect, please revise it.

Please beware that the start up path needs to match the viewer, meaning it WILL matter if you use 1.23 or 2.x. If you know how to configure this for a viewer other than the SL viewer, please feel free (and pass along the instructions)

__**Third-Party Viewers that are approved by Second Life**__

The second part of this is to learn how the open source version of the software runs. If you are interested in that, please let me know directly.
