Clicking on a SLURL Doesn't Activate the Viewer

Windows

SLURL Proxy

slurl_proxy1.jpg

What is this ?

SLURL Proxy is an application that will handle SLURLs on your Windows system. Clicking a slurl on the web, will open SLURL Proxy, which will forward the SLURL to the viewer you have chosen. Alternatively, SLURL Proxy gives you the option to set a viewer of choice directly, without using the proxy function.

Why is that interesting ?

Various Second Life viewers you might, or may already have installed, overwrite your registry settings and change the way slurls are handled on your system, but without asking you.

SLURL Proxy provides an easy and user friendly way to correct this, without you having to tamper with your registry, and whenever you feel like changing your settings.

You can download SLURL Proxy, and unpack it to a location of your choice. Double click SLURL Proxy.exe to start it.

How to use it ?

Upon start up, SLURL Proxy will check to see if it's the default slurl handler. If it is not, it will inform you about that, and ask you if you'd like to use SLURL Proxy as default instead.

When you have set SLURL Proxy as default,(or even before that) you can simply drag one or more viewer shortcuts onto the application window, and they should be listed with viewer name, and icon. After this, you can close SLURL Proxy and it's ready to go.

SLURL Proxy allows you to add several viewers, and one always needs to be the default viewer to use. The default viewer is the one where the checkbox is checked. If you would like to change the default viewer, simply click the viewer of your choice in the list.

That's it.

Firefox or Chrome might be asking you what application to use when you click a slurl on the web, and if so, it will also display a choice of associated applications, in which the application you defined as default (for example SLURL Proxy or a Viewer.exe), will be highlighted.

Internet Explorer should simply be showing a dialog that informs you about the application that is trying to handle the clicked slurl, and if you want to allow that.

If you wish to set a viewer as default slurl handler instead of SLURL proxy, then you simply need to click Set other SLURL handler in the menu, and drag the shortcut of your favourite viewer onto the window.

Requires .NET 3.5 and only runs on Windows

The file you download, is a packaged as a zip archive.

SLURLs opening in a different Viewer?

  • Start SLURL Proxy
  • In the dialog asking if SLURL Proxy should be the default SLURL handler, click NO
  • In the top menu, click “Set other SLURL handler”
  • Drag your Firestorm short cut onto the SLURL Proxy Window
  • You're done and can close SLURL Proxy

Please note : If you already have a Viewer running, then any SLURLs will open in that Viewer, regardless of your settings.

Other Windows Instructions

  1. Open Default Programs by clicking the Start button and then clicking Default Programs.
  2. Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
  3. Click the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default for.
  4. Click Change program.

FireFox

In Firefox, goto Tools → Options → Applications Tab and scroll to Secondlife. Look to see if Firestorm is listed, if not, select “other”, then browse your hard drive to find the Firestorm.exe, click on it, select Open, then click Ok. (Reference: Applications panel—Set how Firefox handles different types of files.)

OR

Download and install the regular SL viewer - but don't run it.

OR

Try this if the above does not work:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gaming-games-multimedia-entertainment/104105-how-firefox-calls-secondlife-slurls.html

Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari

Download and install the regular SL viewer - but don't run it.

Chrome

If none of the above works, then try this as a last resort fix. Go into Chrome settings, the advanced Settings, at the bottom, then Reset Chrome. Please note that this will wipe all your customized Chrome settings.

Mac OS X

The application that handles a URL is a system-wide setting, not tied to any one browser. You can change the setting like this:

  • Download RCDefaultApp 2.1 from the RubiCode download page. Yes, it really will run on current versions of OS X, even though it also runs all the way back to 10.2.
  • Install it according to the instructions int he README file.
  • Go to the Apple menu at the top left. Select System Preferences… then Default Apps (near the bottom), then the URLs tab. Now scroll down until you see secondlife in the list on the left. Click on it.
  • Now select the application you wish to use.

Linux

  • Open Firefox and in the address bar type in “about:config”
  • Now right click anywhere on that page and choose New and then Boolean to create a new Boolean entry, when prompted for the name of the entry enter “network.protocol-handler.expose.secondlife” (without quotes) then set the entry to 'false', click ok and your just about done.
  • Now the next time you click a slurl you will be prompted to choose an application to open it with, just browse to the folder you installed Firestorm into and select the file named 'firestorm' (a shell script file). Then before you click Ok, make sure you check the little box to make Firefox remember your choice on how to open slurls. 1)

Information gleaned from this page.

Work Around

There is an alternative to clicking a link in a browser to have it pass control to the viewer. Some actually find this work around to be faster and use it normally:

  • right click the SLURL link in your web browser and copy to clipboard
  • in the viewer, paste the link into your local chat and hit Enter.
  • open local chat history
  • click the link shown there; you will be shown the location info with the option to teleport direct to it.

The fist thing to check is the viewer settings: Preferences → Network & Files → Connections, in the Web Browser section, make sure Use the default system browser… is selected.

If you get an error saying that no program is associated with the action, or that it doesn't know how to hand that action, make sure your computer settings show that there is a default web browser. An easy way to tell is to open your browser; if you are asked to make it the default, then you need to do so.

Windows 10 Issues

Windows 10 and Intel stuck at initializing VFS

If you have Intel Graphics HD, Intel Graphics HD2500 and Intel Graphics HD4000, and are using the 64bit version of Firestorm 5.0.7 or later, on Windows 10, refer to this page.

Audio Issues

A Windows 10 update in mid May 2018 (and reported as recently as May 2019) has resulted in many having audio problems with the viewer. This is actually a problem with the update, and needs to be fixed externally to the viewer.

  • If your mic seems to have stopped working, try this: In your operating system, go to Settings → Privacy → Microphone and make sure “Allow apps to access my microphone” is ON.
  • In addition: A user has kindly provided this link to help you check your settings in the new Windows software and resolve the issue.
  • Further to this, you should also check Windows Mixer settings, since audio devices may have been reset.

If you're on an ASUS laptop and Sonic 3 is running, this is preventing FS from finding your driver. The solution is to disable Sonic 3.

Voice Is Distorted

If you suddenly sound like a man (and you aren't), or your friend suddenly sounds like a demon (and isn't), or you are hearing other forms of distorted voice, try this:

  1. Right click the Speakers icon on your system tray and select Open Sound Settings.
  2. Go to Input section and click on Device Properties.
  3. Switch to the Advanced tab.
  4. Under Default Format drop down menu, select: 2 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD quality).
  5. Switch to Enhancements tab.
  6. Check “Disable All Sound Effects”
  7. Press OK
  8. Close the Setting window
  9. Relog if needed.

Sounds Don't Play

If you suddenly find that sounds do not play, things like button sounds or in-world object sounds, the possible cause is your default output format. Try this:

  1. Right click the Speakers icon on your Windows PC system tray and select Open Sound Settings.
  2. Click on Device Properties in the Output section.
  3. Click on Additional device settings under Related Settings.
  4. Switch to the Advanced tab.
  5. Under Default Format drop down menu, select: 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD quality).
  6. Click Apply and OK.
  7. Relog if needed.

Missing Characters

If some characters now display as boxes, you will need to reinstall Windows font packs. Some of the more common font packs are Chinese, Japanese and Korean, though if you installed those and still see boxes, you will want to ask the person using those characters to tell you what language (or symbol set) they are so that you can install the appropriate font pack.

  1. Log out of Firestorm.
  2. Go to the Windows Start menu and choose Settings.
  3. In the window that opens, click in the search field at the top right and type in “language”
  4. Select Add a language from the search results.
  5. Click the + Add a language option and select the language from the list. The contents of the window scrolls left and right.
  6. Back in the Add a language section, click the newly added language and choose Options.
  7. Click the top Download button. The language will download and install, and it may take some time.
  8. Repeat this for each language pack you wish to install.
  9. Now log into Firestorm; you should see the missing characters correctly rendered.

Error 0xc000007b

Error 0xc000007b when launching 64 bit Firestorm:

Try following these steps to get the Firestorm installer to reinstall the Visual C++ redistributables that come packaged with it:

  1. First make sure you have the Firestorm installer handy in a place where you can easily access it when you get to the step where it's needed below. (You can download it from here, or from here if you need an older version than the current release.)
  2. Go to the Windows Start Menu and choose Settings.
  3. In the window that opens, click on “System Display, notifications, apps, power.”
  4. In the next window go down to “Apps & features.”
  5. Scroll down to the entry for “Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable.” Click on it and choose “Uninstall” (the list won't necessarily update to show that it is uninstalled, but it is).
  6. Click on “Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable” and once again choose “Uninstall.”
  7. Close that window.
  8. Re-run the Firstorm installer. The installer window will now say “Modify Setup” (since FS is already installed) and will give you 3 options: “Repair”, “Uninstall” and “Close.” Click on “Repair.” Firestorm will reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables that it ships with.
  9. Restart your computer. You should be able to launch Firestorm without getting the error message now.

Graphics Issues After Win10 Update

If you start experiencing graphics issues after a Win10 update, such as driver crashes, or simply very poor performance, the first thing to try is a full computer reboot.

If that doesn't help, reinstall your graphics card driver from the card maker's website, not from Windows. That is, from nVidia, AMD, or Intel.

If you have Intel HD graphics, install the 32bit version of the viewer.

Camera Spinning or Mouse Wandering in Mouselook

The most common cause for this is a non-default DPI value, or screen scaling. Refer to this page for tips on setting DPI/scaling to default.

Unable to install current version of Quicktime

Some Windows 10 users have experienced difficulty installing current versions of Apple's Quicktime software on their systems. Version 7.7.6 of Quicktime has been confirmed to install correctly on Windows 10 systems. You can download version 7.7.6 from the link below:

Quicktime 7.7.6 (link will take you to the 7.7.6 download page on Apple's website)

**Unfortunately the above link seems to no longer be valid as a source for Quicktime 7.7.6, as such the recommended alternative to allow playback of media streams that were previously handled by Quicktime is to upgrade to a newer version of Firestorm (version 5.0.1.52150 or newer), as these newer versions of Firestorm no longer depend on Quicktime to handle stream playback.

Text and User Interface Too Small

First try increasing Preferences → User Interface → 2D Overlay → UI Scaling. Another possibility is Preferencess → User Interface → Font → Font size adjustment.

Viewer Window Larger Than Expected

This is most often caused by a high DPI scaling setting, usually 125% on most 2k displays. A viewer set to the same width as the display resolution (1920, for example), would extend beyond the display border. To correct this:

  • Log out of Firestorm
  • Right click the Firestorm shortcut and choose Properties
  • In Properties, click the Compatibility tab
  • Near the bottom, find and check “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”
  • Click OK and Apply

When you launch Firestorm, it should display at the default DPI scale, 100%

Failed to Decode Login Credentials

Some Windows 10 updates change the machine ID used to create login credentials, resulting in Firestorm reporting “Failed to Decode Login Credentials”. The best way to deal with this is to wipe the stored credentials file, as explained here. Naturally, you will then have to retype the user name and password for all your accounts, when first logging in after deleting the credentials file.

How to Replace Your Firestorm.exe in Windows 10

If you have certain Intel HD graphics, and have upgraded your PC to Windows 10, your graphics card will not be fully supported by Intel. If you have this issue, you will be unable to log in. You will get the following error dialog box: 

Firestorm is unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly or are out of date, or are for unsupported hardware.  Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers, and even if you do have the latest, try reinstalling them.  If you continue to receive this message, contact the Second Life Support Portal

This is not a function of the viewer, but instead is a function of the drivers provided by Intel for your computer. However, we have developed a workaround that should help most users with this issue continue to have the ability to use the Firestorm viewer.

Note: This fix is only available for 32-bit versions of Firestorm.
Even if you have a 64-bit version of Windows 10, and usually use the 64-bit version of Firestorm, you will still need to use the 32-bit viewer.
The fix is not required for 6.2.4, 6.0.2 and 5.1.7 (5.1.7 available as an option).
There is no fix that will work with the 64-bit version.
Important: Do NOT run in Compatibility mode.
Uninstall any 64bit versions of Firestorm.
Download and install a 32bit version of Firestorm; you will be replacing one file, not the entire install. Downloads
  1. Verify that your graphics card is one of the affected versions. You can find a table of affected versions here: Graphics Drivers Supported Operating Systems, but most frequently we have seen Intel HD 2000 and Intel HD 3000. You should be able to verify your graphics in the system info of your computer.
  2. Below, select the zip file that is correct for your download, either the 32-bit Havok version or the 32-bit OpenSim version, and download it to your computer. You will need to unzip the file and save it on your computer in a location you will remember.
  3. On your computer, open File Explorer. (If it isn't on your taskbar you may need to use the search to find it.) When you open it, select the View tab at the top of the page and check the box on the right hand side that says File Name Extensions.
  4. In File Explorer, navigate to This PC then Local Disk (C:) (or the location you normally download Firestorm, if it differs) and then navigate to Program Files (x86). Open Program Files (x86), locate the Firestorm folder, and open it. In the Firestorm folder, locate the Firestorm-Release.exe file and delete it.
  5. Replace it with the Firestorm.exe file that was in the zipped folder you downloaded from the web site.

You should now be able to run Firestorm on your PC.

Downloads - Firestorm 5.1.7

Note: When using this workaround your Help–> About Firestorm panel will show your OS as Windows 8 rather than Windows 10.

Current Release for OpenSim

OpenSIM versions of FS do not have Havok. That only matters if you're uploading mesh objects and need to specify the mesh physics properties, or if you need to manipulate the region navmesh for pathfinding. The terms of the Havok license prohibit its use anywhere but Second Life, so it's not present in OpenSim versions.

Error Messages

This is a collection of error messages seen in SL. Some are system messages; some are viewer-generated. The list is by no means complete.

If you get an error message that is not on this page, please:

  • Report it in Firestorm Support English (in-world support group)
  • Or File a Jira alerting us to it (please provide the complete, exact wording of the message; a screenshot is also helpful).
  • If you found a solution or explanation, please let us know that too.

Thanks!

Messages Mentioning Animations

Error Remedy
“PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION permission not set” This message usually comes from an AO or other scripted item, dropped in world. It can also come from a badly scripted object that doesn't check it has perms before animating, such as a badly written poseball.

Messages Mentioning Attachments, Clothing, Body Parts, or Other Wearables

Error Remedy
“You can't attach multiple objects to one spot” message when detaching from avatar. That will happen if the user somehow has a coalesced object in their Current Outfit folder. Delete that link from the Current Outfit folder.
“The outfit folder contains no clothing, body parts, or attachments.” See Outfits Won't Save
“The attachment has requested a nonexistent point on the avatar. It has been attached to the chest instead.” Do a search in your inventory for LSL Bridge. Delete any and all which are not worn and empty trash. You may have an old version in inventory which used a now deprecated attachment point. Then Avatar Menu - Avatar Health - Recreate LSL Bridge (be sure you're in a script-enabled area). Relog to verify error has stopped.

Messages Mentioning Certificates

Error Remedy
“Unable to find a valid certificate” See Second Life: Unable_to_find_a_valid_certificate.

Messages Mentioning Credentials or Passwords

Error Remedy
“We were unable to decode the file storing your saved login credentials” (or) “Failed to decode login credentials” See Failed to Decode Login Credentials

Messages Mentioning Clock or Time

Error Remedy

Searching

It is possible to search the menus for specific words or phrases, by typing into the search bar at the top. For example, typing in the word upload will result in matches on up to four top menu items: Avatar, Build, Advanced and Develop. In short, using search will filter out what is shown in the top menu bar, removing all items except those that contain what you searched for.

Matched items are highlighed in color (you can change the highlight color in Preferences → Colors -> Miscellaneous→ Preferences Search Highlight Color).

To clear the search, and have the Preferences window revert to its normal state, just click the 'x' at the far right end of the search field.

Menu search is enabled (or disabled) in Preferences -> Advanced→ Show Menu Search.

Graphics Presets

: Hovering your mouse over this symbol, or clicking it (depending on your preferences setting), it will open the Graphics Presets window. Please note that this symbol will only show if you have created a graphic preset in Preferences→ Graphics -> General.

Searching

It is possible to search the menus for specific words or phrases, by typing into the search bar at the top. For example, typing in the word upload will result in matches on up to four top menu items: Avatar, Build, Advanced and Develop. In short, using search will filter out what is shown in the top menu bar, removing all items except those that contain what you searched for.

Matched items are highlighed in color (you can change the highlight color in Preferences → Colors -> Miscellaneous→ Preferences Search Highlight Color).

To clear the search, and have the Preferences window revert to its normal state, just click the 'x' at the far right end of the search field.

Menu search is enabled (or disabled) in Preferences -> Advanced→ Show Menu Search.

Graphics Presets

: Hovering your mouse over this symbol, or clicking it (depending on your preferences setting), it will open the Graphics Presets window. Please note that this symbol will only show if you have created a graphic preset in Preferences→ Graphics -> General.


See this page for documentation on Firestorm 6.2.4 (57588) and earlier.

macOS Catalina (10.15) Issues

Notarization

macOS apps will need to be notarized to be accepted by Gatekeeper after its Mojave 10.14.5 update.

Reference Safely open apps on your Mac
Also see BUG-227740 Mac OS 10.15 Catalina throws error on launch

How to Open Anyway

To get around the lack of notarization of Firestorm, you will need to allow it to open anyway. Don't be alarmed by the dialog boxes that pop up. As long as you have downloaded the viewer from the Firestorm blog, you can rest assured that it is free from malware.

  • Whether you ctrl + click > Open the application from the Applications folder or using the Dock icon, you will see this dialog appear. Be sure to click on the Cancel button (circled in green) before proceeding. If you click on “Move to Trash,” that will instantly put Firestorm into the trash can for you to delete later.
  • Open System Preferences for your Mac. You can get to it from many places such as the Apple Menu in the top left corner of your screen or the grey gears icon from the Dock. You will then want to navigate to the Security & Privacy pane. In this screenshot, it is circled in green.
  • After clicking to open this pane, you'll see there's a little blurb about opening the viewer anyway and a button to click that allows you to do so. Click this button to start the process.

    Note: You do not have to unlock the padlock to click this button.
  • You will see another dialog box pop up as a final warning that this software may be harmful. Do not fear! As long as you downloaded the viewer from us (linked at the start of this tutorial), you are safe to open it without any harm. Simply click the Open button to finalize telling Gatekeeper that this program is safe. After you click Open on this last dialog box, the viewer will open as expected. This will persist for as long as the program is installed.

    Note: This will need to be repeated for any new installs of the viewer such as installing the OpenSim capable version of Firestorm.

Scripts

This tab shows script information about the attachments you are wearing. The information is presented in the form of a list, with columns:

  • Size (kb): Indicates how much memory is used by the script(s) in the object.
  • URLs: Indicates how many URL(s) the object is using.
  • Object Name: Name of the scripted object.
  • Location: Name of the object's attachment point.

You can click on any column header to sort the list.

Below this is 1 button:

  • Refresh List: Self explanatory.
