Imprudence:Features

Imprudence has many features and improvements over the regular Second Life viewer, including countless user interface improvements and numerous OpenSim-specific features and fixes. Here are some of them:

Experimental Release Features
These features are in the Experimental Releases. Experimentals contain all the same features as the main release, as well as:


 * Spell Checking Uses downloadable dictionaries for spell checking and auto corrections from the Preference window choose -> Advanced tab -> SpellCheck tab


 * Translate incoming and outgoing chat Uses Google machine translations setup in Preferecnes window -> General tab


 * Copy primitive parameters in the object tab


 * Search friends and groups lists

 * Display names support Setup your Display Name via Edit menu and option in the General tab of preferences window


 * Complete fine tuning of Group Notices, Group Chat and Group Visibility in the Group management window


 * Autocomplete for avatar names Start typing a name in the chatbar then press TAB to cycle through potential matches


 * Font selection from pre-installed fonts.


 * Teleport History Shows where you teleported to or teleported from. ALT + h


 * WindLight notecards WindLight water and sky presets as tradable assets inworld.


 * Chatbar as a commandline e.g. “dd”, “gth”, “calc”. This feature can be configured in Preferences > Advanced.


 * Local texture support You can now preview textures inworld without uploading, straight from your harddrive. Open the texture picker, then select the “Computer” tab to paste an imagine from your computer onto a prim. Updating the texture on your computer updates the prim inworld. Other users won’t be able to see the textures until you upload them.

 * Teleport to Ground Via advanced menu. To open advanced menu CTRL + ALT + D


 * View history for IMs from the IM window

Stable Release Features

 * Improved OpenSim support Support for up to 100 groups, 99% hollow prims, 1% hole size, megaprims up to 256m in size, and prim Z position up to 10km on OpenSim. OpenSim grid names are also used instead of "Second Life."


 * Store settings in grid-specific folders Note: this can be toggled by the UseLegacyChatLogsFolder debug setting.


 * Content Backup Export and import objects, scripts, and avatar shapes that you created.


 * 64-bit compatibility for Windows


 * Minimap Radar The minimap features a built-in "avatar radar" to tell you who is nearby and perform actions like sending them an IM, opening their profile, focusing your camera on them, ejecting them (if you own the land), and more. Click the button in the lower left corner of the minimap to open or close the radar.


 * Enhanced Minimap The minimap has better zooming, panning (Shift-Click and drag), double click to teleport, and other improvements. Right click the minimap for options.


 * Built-in Animation Overrider Unlike scripted AOs, Imprudence's built in animation overrider (View > Animation Overrider) works in no-script zones, and doesn't contribute to script lag. You can even turn the AO on or off right from the toolbar!


 * LightShare Support Imprudence supports LightShare, a feature in OpenSim 0.7 that allows the sim to send Windlight settings to the viewer.


 * Restrained Love API (RLV) Imprudence supports the Restrained Love (formerly Restrained Life) script API used by BDSM toys and scripted gadgets.


 * Ignore Group Chat Uncheck "Join Group Chat" in any group info window to shield yourself from annoying, spammy group chat from that group.


 * Gestures Volume Slider Imprudence has a volume slider to control how loud gesture sound effects are. If you've ever been annoyed by loud gestures, here's your chance to enjoy some peace and quiet!


 * Double-click Teleport and Autopilot In Preferences > Input & Camera tab, set "Double-Click Action" to "Autopilot", and "Autopilot Style" to either "Teleport" or "Move" (whichever you prefer).


 * Advanced Build Options Set default properties for newly created objects such as size, pivot, etc.


 * Build Math Expressions Use math functions in the build window.


 * Area Object Search Find any prim on a sim.


 * Building hotkeys to cycle through prims in a link set


 * Windlight Toolbar


 * Grid Manager


 * Client Identification and clothing layer protection


 * Improved Pie Menu Layouts The layouts for all pie menus have been improved to be more consistent, useful, and easy to learn. Legacy pie menus are also available (Preferences > Advanced tab > Use legacy pie menus).


 * Search Inventory by Creator or Description


 * Inventory Quick Filter The Inventory window has a new Quick Filter list to easily show only items of a certain type.


 * Free Temporary Texture Uploads


 * Worn Items Tab The Inventory window has a new "Worn Items" tab which shows you all items that your avatar is wearing.


 * Unread IM Count The "New IM" popup button now shows you how many new IMs you have, and the Communicate window title tells you how many unread messages you have in other IM tabs.


 * IM Autoresponse Send an auto-response when someone starts typing/sends you an IM . Includes sending inventory along with your response.


 * Middle-mouse Paste for Linux When running on Linux, Imprudence supports the common Linux idiom of copying text by highlighting it, then pasting by middle clicking. Imprudence also works better with stardard Linux clipboards than the regular SL viewer.


 * Confirmation dialogs to prevent accidents Certain actions now have optional confirmation dialogs ("Are you sure?") to avoid harmful or embarrassing accidents, such as teleporting home or taking off all your clothes when you didn't intend to.


 * Restore to Last Position Rezzes the object at the coordinates it had the last time it was picked up. Important: Read the details before using this feature, or you might rez your object somewhere unexpected!


 * Offer Teleport button in IM window The IM window now has a button to offer a teleport to the person you're IMing with.


 * Double-click to wear attachments in inventory You can now double click on inventory objects to wear (or unwear) them as attachments.


 * "Phantom Avatar" Mode


 * Breast Physics Female avatars' breasts subtly bounce and sway as they move, for increased realism.


 * Asset (Texture) Browser


 * Animation List


 * See object's Last (previous) Owner


 * Ground Sit Anywhere


 * Hide Selection Outlines


 * Choose Default Chat Channel


 * Disable Login/Logout/Teleport Screens


 * Search/Replace in Notecards


 * Draw distance stepping (aka SpeedRez) Imprudence will temporarily lower your draw distance after teleporting, to encourage nearby objects to rez sooner. You can disable or configure this feature in Preferences > Advanced tab.


 * New Profile Layout Includes the ability to copy an avatar's key and invite them to a group.


 * Optional Message When Paying a Resident The message will appear in that Resident's transaction history online.


 * Private Look At Enable "Advanced > Character > Private Look At" to stop other people from knowing where your avatar is looking. (Note: This feature cannot be enabled at the same time as "Show Look At".)
