Run SL as Console?

[Dequ]

Is there anyway I can log into SL / Firestorm via CMD prompt? I just want to idle in a sim without any background stuff like the game's engine running. Just pure text in a console. 

 

Thanx!

There are some text only viewers, not sure if there is a command line based ones though, but you could always write your own...

Yeah, I found Radegast. Not too sure about its hashes though;

HW32.packed is the installer,  Googling around shows me that people have from far back as 2010 have gotten it.   I use this text viewer almost daily and have for many years.  

It is safe.

 

Ran the same scan on another site.

If you don't trust it, build it from source?

That is the original Github for it, the creator of the viewer died some years back,   there is a fork with the same name called Radegast life,  but I think even it's last update was 2018.

Radegast is solid, trusted and been TPV directory listed since 2010.

Radegast is good. Installing it on later MacOS is a bit troublesome, you need X-Quartz (X11) and a very specific version of Mono, 2.10.9_12 to be installed first.

Get Radegast from source forge. http://radegast.sourceforge.net/wiki/Radegast_Download

For Mac, first install Mono: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.9/macos-10-x86/12/MonoFramework-MDK-2.10.9_12.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg

and then, for Mac, XQuartz: https://www.xquartz.org

It also works on Linux, you may use the same install as Mac, but you may not need the X-Window system noted above, I'm not certain about that.

and finally install Radegast

That's not running it from a command line, but is probably the lightest weight viewer that you'll come across!

Nowadays pretty much any executable that hasn't bee signed by a well known software company is going to be flagged one way or another.

... and requires you to disable SIP so mono will install into the right place.
