Voice chat is now included in Imprudence 1.3.0 RC2 and later.
The instructions below are only necessary for earlier versions of Imprudence.

For legal reasons, we did not distribute the Second Life voice chat components in Imprudence prior to version 1.3.0 RC2. But, all versions of Imprudence will work with the voice components from the matching version of SL. So, you just have to either download them or copy them over from a normal SL installation to the same spot in the Imprudence installation. Instructions for each operating system are provided below.

Windows

Option 1: Downloading files from Linden Lab

You can download the voice components from Linden Lab as a tar.bz2 file. You will need to install a program like 7-zip (free) or WinRAR (free trial version) in order to open the tar.bz2 file and extract the voice components.

Option 2: Copying files from a Second Life installation

Download and install the appropriate version of Second Life, if you do not already have it installed.

Copy the following files from your Second Life installation to your Imprudence installation:

NOTE: Do NOT copy "alut.dll" from the voice packages. This will cause audio not to work!

If all went well, the voice files have been installed, and you can start using voice chat with Imprudence! If you had some difficulty or voice chat still doesn't work, please ask for help in the forums.
