and we plan to do so within the shortest time frame possible. Use of the Emerald viewer is still your choice and Emerald is not a

malicious viewer.

where did you find that?

blog.modularsystems.sl/2...

yeah but it should have been that way from the start. so i understand LL's reasong for removing it from the tpvl

of course they had to remove them from the TPV but now im wondering why Kirsten is allowed to use the kdu.dll file and emerald will not

be allowed to ues anylonger?

yeah, that one baffled me too SissiString

i will see how the "new" emerald viewer is gonna work for me ... till then i stay with the old one .. i just replaced

the emkdu file with the LLkdu file

precisely what is this kdu file, anyway?

basically this file makes your texures rez faster .. well thats what i understood

it is the jpeg2000 decoding library, then? or is there more to it?

For those wondering what KDU is, it’s a closed source image decoding library which provides a significant speed improvement over the open

source alternative. *quotes the Emearld blog*

thank you

Why does LL wanna slow down the viewer?

well i geuss cause the fucked up the original file and modified it .. well not they .. one person did .. i guess its to discipline them

SissiString, it's a direct replacement isn't it? Just copy the LLKDU file into the dir where EMKDU is and then delete the Emerald version?

EMKDU was hacked and grabbed personally identifiable info. The LLKDU lacks this dubious feature.

Just install snowglobe, copy the llkdu.dll file from there into the emerald directory, then delete the emkud.dll file.
