The latest viewer is available at Rapidshare [download].

How to install the viewer:
The viewer is as easy to install as the original viewer:
- Download the latest version
- Unpack it / unzip it
- Click the RestrainedLife viewer icon to launch
You may want to drag the icon to your Applications folder and / or the Dock, though.
How to improve the graphic performance:
To improve graphics you should use the commercial graphics library libllkdu.dylib. (You might remember my old blog article about that.)
- Download the RestrainedLive viewer [download] and install it.
- Download the corresponding official SecondLife viewer (same SL release number) and install it. [download]
- Open the content of the official viewer application and browse for Contents/Resources/libllkdu.dylib
- Copy that libllkdu.dylib to the same location into your RestrainedLife application.
Crashes during log in
If you crash when you try to log in, please set the viewer to English language:
- Launch RestrainedLife viewer
- Press CMD-P to open the Properties menu
- Set language to English
- Apply
- Quit the viewer and restart it.
What about PPC Versions?
Unfortunately, since SL v1.21 I sometimes have problems to compile the viewer as universal binary or PPC. Please refer the download links about PPC versions.
How to set the viewer to RestrainedLife mode:
If you don't use the original RestrainedLife viewer but the Cool viewer, it is possible that the viewer is not set to RestrainedLife mode when you launch it for the first time. If this is the case:
- Go to Preferences
- Choose the Cool features tab
- Check RestrainedLife mode
- Restart the viewer
→ it will now launch in RestrainedLife mode
The Cool viewer for the Mac is provided by Hyang.

Yo rule, Mo - thanks!
Well, can you describe the procedure, so I can try find what's wrong?
Can you describe more precisely what you like me to describe?
Can you please, please, upload the older 1.12.3 (or above) version that works with PPC? I was using that with SL version 1.21.6 and it was working fine, and then I mistakenly "upgraded" to the 1.15 version, which of course does not work for PPC. Please make the older PPC version available for download!!!
When I attempt to launch the new version, I get the following error message:
"You cannot open the application "RestrainedLife 1.15 (SL 1.21.3)" because it is no supported on this architecture."
I've never had trouble with this before.
Hi Mo-
Just learning all the ins and outs of it all. I have one problem though and I am trying to figure out where the problem lies.
I downloaded the latest version of Restrained Life (1.15.2) i386 for Mac then.....
SL came out with a newer version so I downloaded that.
Now, every scripted item (I think they're scripted items) have a translucent red square covering them. Dance poles, advertisements and stuff like that.....
Any ideas, suggestions?
anonymous do you have show transparent activated?
Love your work, and 1.17 works fine but 1.18+ hangs during launch. After launching, I get the bouncing icon in the dock, I see ClamXAV scanning, but then activity stops and the app goes "unresponsive." 1.17 works fine on the same machine. This is a MacBook running 10.5.6.
You do such great work, thanks for all your efforts. One quesion regarding upgrading the graphics to the commmercial version. How do I search the standard viewer for the graphics module. ???
Thanks, Myst
First, the RapidShare link takes you to a page that isn't found (I got a 404 error).
Second, when I tried to use the Mac version RLV1.23 I could not get logged into SL (I got a "cannot connect you to a simulator" message).
Help times two, please! Thanks!
Doesn't work with Mac. Dump it. Fix with change to English as language doesn't help as it still crashes.
