Or more precisely, it has no GUI, but speaks a small subset of IRC as its user interface.

Currently, it listens on localhost:6668 and is hardwired for the main Second Life grid.

SL usernames are translated to IRC nicknames as Firstname.Lastname, so you'll see a lot of people called things like "Bob.Resident".

Log in using your SL name thusly as your nick, and your SL password as the server password. Note that error handling is sub-par so errors might not be sent to your client (this includes the one where you tried to log in too soon after logging out or crashing).

If your client doesn't display the numerics used for presence sensibly (such as irssi), pass --presence-notices on the command line and they'll be sent as NOTICE instead.

• Logging in
• Talking and listening in local chat
• Group chat
  • People with moderator permissions are listed as chanops.
  • You can't leave or detach a groupchat.
• See who's in the same region as you.
  • People in regular chat range are voiced.
• IMs
• Friend presence, using MONITOR to report/ display it.
  • You can't add or remove people, only see their presence.
  • Your client needs to be okay with the server prepopulating the MONITOR list.
  • The command-line option --presence-notices sends you a NOTICE every time a friend's presence changes, instead of MONITOR numerics.
  • Send MONITOR NON to get notices listing who's currently online.
• RLV @sit and @sendchat. @redirchat may work.
• You can see llDialog()s but not respond to them.

• Getting a correct list of who's in a groupchat with you (regular clients can't do this either)
• Closing groupchats (you'll be forcibly rejoined)
• Adding or removing friends
• Joining or leaving groups
• Teleport requests (you'll send an autoreply to whoever asked you to teleport).
• Pretty much everything else.

You will need to run libopenmetaverse/runprebuild2013.bat before the project will load.
