I think I was upset about a purchase for some free to play game when I made my original post. I still don’t quite get Second Life, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t tried, and am trying again. I wanted to see what SellaBand Island was all about. So I jerry rigged Firefox to send Secondlife:// links to the Hippo OpenSim Viewer. Hippo OpenSim Viewer is a modified version of the official Second Life client for use with OpenSim servers. OpenSim is essentially an Open Source version of Second Life. I figured, since Hippo is merely a modified verion of the official client, maybe it could open SURLS (Secondlife:// links) Sure enough, it can. How I did it, was simple. When you setup a protocol handler in Firefox, Firefox will ask you what application you want to use. In this case I had Second Life create the protocol handler, but told Firefox to send it to Hippo instead. It’s really very easy especially if you have the Second Life client already installed, and have not yet made it the default to open SURLS.
When I said I would NEVER playe MMORPGS, I hadn’t considered how cheap Dungeon Runners is. I have it now, problem is, I discovered I had to get a new video card to play it. ![]()
