How to Re-enable Voice Chat

From Imprudence

For legal reasons, we are not allowed to distribute the Second Life voice chat components, which means we can't include them in the Imprudence downloads.

But, 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 are provided below.


Linux

Imprudence 1.3 (automated install)

Open a terminal window, navigate to your Imprudence top directory, then copy and paste the following commands to download and extract the necessary files automatically: 

mkdir -p ./lib
curl -O http://s3.amazonaws.com/viewer-source-downloads/install_pkgs/vivox-2.1.3010.6270-linux-20090309.tar.bz2
tar -C ./bin --strip-components 4 -xjf vivox-*.tar.bz2 --wildcards '*SLVoice'
tar -C ./lib --strip-components 4 -xjf vivox-*.tar.bz2 --wildcards '*.so*'
rm vivox-*.tar.bz2

If all went well, the voice files have been installed, and you can close the terminal and 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.

Imprudence 1.2 (automated install)

Open a terminal window, navigate to your Imprudence top directory, then copy and paste the following commands to download and extract the necessary files automatically:
