Real Restraint / Restrained Life Scripts
Written for 1.12, not current.
NOTE: please see this post about different viewers.
What are they?
The technical official explanation:
This viewer, codename “RestrainedLife” is an attempt at enhancing the experience of people who practice BDSM in Second Life. It is used jointly with simple scripts made to use its features in-world, such as making an attached object undetachable, preventing chat and such. An API (Application Programming Interface, a text file) is provided so that every content creator can create their own scripts to interface their own items to the viewer and use its features.
Now that is out of the way, I highly suggest that you reads Marines blog entry on the RestrainedLife viewer:
http://realrestraint.blogspot.com/2007/11/so-what-is-that-restrainedlife-thing.html
Where to get them?
If you want to know more, or even give it a try you need to do a couple of things. You need to pop down to Marine’s store in PAK, and click on the rotating cube on the left. When you click on that cube, you are given a folder containing some scripts and a Readme note card that explains it all.
Basically, the RealRestraint products are still sold without the scripts so you have to add them yourself, according to which script does what. See next section.
However to be complete; we give you below the download locations for each operating system. (See also the Links section on the right)
- Marine Kelley’s RestrainedLife Viewer for the Ms-Windows Platform (made by Marine herself).
- Marine Kelley’s RestrainedLife Viewer for the Linux Platform (courtesy of Loom Kish)
- Marine Kelley’s RestrainedLife Viewer for the Macintosh Platform (courtesy of Mo Noel)
Which scripts are there?
&Viewer: this one tells the RR viewer to set that object so it can’t be removed when you lock it. Put it in every Real Restraint you own! This includes all the individual parts (Right and left elbows and left wrist for shackles, for example), not just the main pieces (Right wrist, where the core scripts are for the arm restraints).
NoSendChat: This one tells the viewer to block your outgoing chat, with the exception of short emotes (Long ones are cut off). Put it in the gag.
NoSendIM: Similar to NoSendChat, but it blocks outgoing IMs (It doesn’t let ANY emotes through, unlike NoSendChat). Put it in the gag as well. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.
NoReceiveChat: This one tells the viewer to block any INCOMING main chat when the restraint is locked. Like NoSendChat though, it lets short emotes in, and cuts off long ones. Marine says to put it in the slave crate (I never use the crate myself,so…). I have this in my iso suit’s ball hood. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.
NoReceiveIM: This one blocks all incoming IMs, and like NoSendChat, it doesn’t allow ANYTHING through, even short emotes. Like NoRecieveChat, Marine recommends putting it in the crate, and I have it in the ballhood. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.
NoTP: This script has a couple of different functions. First, it blocks pretty much all teleports when the restraint is locked, including landmarks, TPs offered by friends, etc.. Second, it also blocks you from sitting on anything more than 1.5 meters away, i.e. sit teleporting. Put this script in the right ankle shackle; that will make the ankle shackles block teleports when locked. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.
*Allow: In short, this script allows your keyholder to set him or herself as an exception to the restrictions placed by some of the restraints. For example, putting this in your gag while NoSendIM is installed will allow your keyholder to allow you to IM her. If in the ankle shackles with NoTP installed, it will allow her to offer you TPs. Put this in any restraint marked with a NOTE above. if you go by the recommendations, it will go in the gag,right ankle cuff, and slave crate.
*Edit: This script allows the wrist shackles (or another restraint if you prefer :P) to block you from editing or rezzing items when locked (eliminating one of the last bastion of subbie cheating :P). It needs to be activated before it takes effect; look for it in the plugins portion of the arm shackles menu. Put this in the right wrist shackle.
Hope you enjoy yourself, we certainly will!!!

You appear to have the attribution for the Linux and MAC viewers backwards 🙂
Mo does the Mac build and I do the Linux Build.
*pokes sis*
I so do apologize *blushes furiously while editing the page*
This has now been corrected 🙂 Thanks for spotting that 😀
[…] The first is on Restrained Life scripts; what do they do, and where do I put them? Find it here. […]
Hehe as usual, a very clear and well done tutorial, going right to the point without letting anyone behind 🙂 Congratulations !
Marine
Its amazing……but after i installed it and copy pasted it into the original sl viewer…i have been facing trouble logging in.
i.e;whenever i login….it gets stuct in ” Initializing World… ” and doesnt respond after that. I don’t know the reason why it happens….i need to attempt many many times before i’m able to login…..sometime i get fed up trying to login…. 😦
Any idea what is the actual problem?
Keerthan, you’re going to want to ask Marine’s blog or her customer support group for help with the Restrained Life viewer, I’m afraid none of us here are involved with developing it, so there’s not much we can do to help. 😦
In any case, best of luck!
I have a question about the “no tp” script. I have the legstraps bought at RR, but can still tp since i got the message that no tp is in the straps. I also put the no tp script in my collar, but i can still tp, anyone any idea?
Are you using the Restrained Life viewer Kristof? the scripts work with the custom viewer, the link to which is on the blog’s sidebar.
Hi!
Im intrestet in the viwer gut the site is down.
Can someone tell me wer i can get it?
Tv in advance
Hi Joss, I just checked and the site is back up. Sadly we had little influence about things like that. Much like yourself we are users of the restrained life viewer.
All I can suggest is just to keep trying. and hope the site get back up.
Good luck, lex
Now that Second Life official release 1.19.0(5) is the an updated Restrained Life? Had a subbie upgrade the normal viewer and now Restrained Life 1.10 doesn’t work
Chastity, this isn’t really the place to be asking about it, nobody here is involved in the development of Restrained Life. You’re going to want to ask on Marine’s blog, you can find it in the blogroll on the right bar.
As far as I can tell, RL hasn’t been updated yet.
EDIT: This tutorial needs to be updated, too >.<
I agree with Vel. I am sorry, but it seemed to be clear to me, that one would understand the difference between the Linden Lab Second Life viewer (1.19.0(5)) and the Restrained Life viewer. i have this question seen pop up a many times now on the Real Restraint Support group and frankly it baffles me (I am currently somewhat in Iso 😉 so I haven’t replied yet.
The way Restrained Life work is a combination between the scripts *in* the cuffs and the viewer itself. See it mostly in perhaps this way
You have a car (the viewer), and that car normally runs on unleaded petrol (restrained life viewer) and suddenly you decide to pour diesel (linden labs second life viewer), it just goes wrong 😉

I published a updated FAQ about the RestrainedLife viewer at my FAQ-Blog: http://modesign-faq.blogspot.com/search/label/Topic%3A%20Restrained%20Life
Hoya I was wonderinf will it work if i just use these scripts in other stuff? like I have a dari’s haus collar can use that?
Tanall, that depends, You can’t have *and* the scripts of Marine’s Restraints *and* the scripts of Dari’s Collar in one item. The scripts would just conflict with each other and whatever happens than is anyone guess.
I have made the mistake in the past by putting to much of one restraint in to one item. and the results weren’t pretty. With two scripts fighting over who should do what (in this case it was both handcuff scripts fighting who could attach to the HUD.
Having said all that, it is possible to remove the items so you only have the prim-object (in this case the collar) and import Marine’s scripts into that.
Took a while to persuade my firewall to allow RLV to access, but once it did…!
Anyone notice the spelling error at the top of this page???
Real Restraint/Restained Life Scripts.
Would think it should be Restrained Life Scripts.
Thank you Kat, I must have missed that. I have now amended the title of the page.
Hi,
Even if nothing is locked ore all scripts are off in the collar and molock so i dont wear anything i cant wear object like skirt etc. i’m using MAC do someone haves that problem as wel?
gr,
Minous
I’ve had that problem before Minous, I’m honestly really not sure how to fix it… all I know to do is to switch to the regular viewer when I need to figure out where things attach to
I haven’thad that problem recently though. What version of the RLV do you use?
The latest SL viewer update crashes my computer so I had to go back to an older version. Unfortunately I didn’t save my copy of the compatible rlv. Where can I find a download of rlv that is compatible with SL’s 1.19.1.4?
Alicia, no idea. have a search for old versions, I am not sure what what the latest RLV compatible.
any ideas where to search? I’ve looked on erestraints, marine’s blog and sl wiki and can’t find on.
Does this allow IMs to be monitored or are they still private when allowed?
I have a question? I have installed this item 3 separate times and I cant get the program to work… when i launch, the window opens and after a few seconds it says not responding.
I don’t know what to do… can anyone help?
I am having the exact same problem Lunara.
For Windows,
Restrained life version 1.14.2 does not work with the latest SL 1.21.6.99587 download. You have to have SL download (((needs SL 1.21.6 to work)) as of 10/25/08 according to
http://www.erestraint.com/realrestraint/
Or I dunno maybe I am not doing it right. >_<;
I take it back, Restrained life version 1.14.2 DOES WORK with the latest SL .
SL 1.21.6.99587 download
What I was doing wrong before…
I unzipped the Restrained Life.zip in the C:\Program Files\SecondLife. and that was that, it kept crashing on me when ever i would start the restrainedlife.exe.
What I did this time, i just unzipped the restrained life.zip
in my desktop and;
Copied “RestrainedLife.exe” into the SL installation folder (where “SecondLife.exe” is, usually “C:\Program Files\SecondLife”)
and placed the unzipped “settings.xml” and placed into the SL original “app_settings” contained in your SL installation folder.
Do NOT copy the folder over the existing one or you’d lose its contents. Copy the file only.
So I read the instructions wrong lol, well sorry about that. >_<;
heh, Luckily I spotted that before I posted a long reply including wiki adresses .. good to hear that it works
Lunara, as for your problem, make sure you have the latest video drivers etc for your operating system (Sorry, I don’t use Windows at all).
Other than that all I can say is .. ask around in the RealRestraint updates group.
Sorry I can’t be more of help .. but also see Loki’s solution 😀

Lexi
Hello
I just downloaded and installed the latest RLV viewer (1.14.2) ( for SLV 1.21.6 ). Besides the infernal difficulties in the installation process I am suffering from a most unpleasant malfunction. I am most of the time unable to change tops. The one I am wearing will not come off and the new one will not come on. This does not occur on SLV (aka regular viewer).
Am I alone with this problem ? Is there a solution forthcoming ?
Thanks
where is information for restraint but in french please
Hi Erika,
I am sorry, but I am not sure where this information can be found in the French language. Perhaps looking around google you might find some info.
i cant seem to get rlv to work for linux im not sure what im supposed to replace when i download the file, if anyone can help me i would be sooo grateful!
thanks in advance *hugs*
how do you get out of RLV?! what happens if you go in knowing nothing and now you want out?!
uhm…….
It’s not some kind of program, you know. Just click the little “X” in the corner of your viewer. Then remove the viewer and install the normal viewer ….
I am not sure what is the problem… perhaps you can elaborate
natalie:
if you are still lost with the linux issue, if you are using the Cool Release, you have to go into the Debug Settings and set “RestrainedLife” to true. Then close the viewer and reopen it. volia…
i think the reason people do not realize that they need to have a whole new ‘application’ to use second life via RLV is that they never considered the second life application as a ‘viewer’ to begin with.
So, many people.. including me, thought that once you get a RLV HUD and a collar, you are good to go!!
I hope this explains the endless confusion and I feel it should be explained in any item that barks of RLV
write docs for a noob not for your absentmindednism
@Naughty: obviously you have not ever written docs, or you wouldn’t be making a comment like this. Nor have anything published. So I suppose it’s easy to criticize others of doing the hard work.
The post does explain what an RLV or restrained life viewer is. It’s hardly my problem, nor that of creators that people in this day and age do not care to read properly.
As for the items. Most items I know, work just as fine without RLV as with. Sure the RLV enhances the actual items. *BUT* they are only there to enhance, not replace.
If you have a submissive that won’t keep her collar on despite having being told to/promised to, you probably need to scratch your head and wonder what you want out of a relationship that is D/s based. If it is just play based .. hey why worry .. it’s just play after all 🙂
Sorry if that sounds a bit rash, but it’s very easy to critize some that put in all the hours of editing docs and writing them up for people just to crack down on any little thing they might have forgotten. Don’t forget that the RR items really come with little documentation *ON PURPOSE* this is to encourage people to explore, to have fun, to discover.
lexi
@Naughty: I’m just curious, what did you think the “V” in “RLV” stood for?
Umm i think any noob who goes to the second life site and downloads ‘second life’ does not inherently know they are using a viewer.
When someone plays WoW or something else with multiplayer they aren’t using a viewer.
if you like to write docs for people who already know what you are talking about then you value your time less than how much you feel I consider your efforts
So, yes, I thought RLV HUD was all you needed and it would do everything. That is what a noob is, someone who is clueless. Of course i know a ton about it now from trial and error and would never read your docs at this point
that was my point – just help people with the basics – make it two parts – a real simple noob guide and then all your expert notes can be a second part
why mix the two audiences anyway? unless YOU never wrote any real documentation or.. blah blah attack defame or whatever you felt like getting your jollies across with your comments about me
“Naughty,” you seem to have an issue here, and that is being a mannerless slob. Therefore, you are about to be given what we call on the Internet “Smackdown” — a small dose to see how the patient responds.
Let’s start with this;
“Umm i think any noob who goes to the second life site and downloads ’second life’ does not inherently know they are using a viewer.”
I don’t know why you want us to be convinced of your illiteracy, but if you look at this download page:
http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/?lang=en-US
you will find the word “Viewer” all over. So either you can’t read or you have the memory of a mayfly. Either of these is hardly something to be proud of, so why you seem intent on proving this to us is unknown at the time.
In any case, simply because YOU don’t seem to understand the word “viewer” in relation to SL, doesn’t mean that the rest of “noobs” (as you put it) have the same crack-addled synapse problem that you seem to be exhibiting. Even though you say “When someone plays WoW or something else with multiplayer they aren’t using a viewer,” the fact that you can’t equate “client’ to “viewer” is a semantical problem you seem to have but quite a few thankfully avoid.
Ahh, but it gets better:
“if you like to write docs for people who already know what you are talking about then you value your time less than how much you feel I consider your efforts”
Part of the issue is that you are obviously incapable of writing on even a high school level, as I had to read this several times to get the gist of your sad attempt at English. However, it is obvious to me that when confronted with those dreaded “docs,” you look for the Ikea pictures in the vain hopes that words won’t be associated with learning something. You do however think that shitting all over the floor of Lex’s blog is a noble approach to avoiding having to read, by which you do nothing more than create a self-parody.
Moving on:
“So, yes, I thought RLV HUD was all you needed and it would do everything. That is what a noob is, someone who is clueless. Of course i know a ton about it now from trial and error and would never read your docs at this point.”
The problem is “you thought.” Since you’ve already admitted your functional illiteracy (or crack problem, or both), now you feel that you need to really shit all over the floor to make yourself feel better, like that 18 year old cat that should have been down four years ago.
There is something called “learning.” This “learning” involves “reading.” Had you simply read up on how to use RLV you probably would have quite easily figured out how to use it. But instead, you’re like the typical Joe or Jane that gets a device, throws out the instructions as it would be too time-consuming to actually “read” anything written on an 8th grade level (thus, once again proving your functional illiteracy), and then breaks it and blames the maker for the crappy design of the device.
I wonder what Christmas is like at your house? Assuming you have kids, you probably try to assemble your kids toys sans directions, break them all, and then run down to the all night market to buy a few bags of charcoal. After filling up the stockings with the charcoal, you then tell your crying kids on Xmas morning “Sorry, Santa thought you were too bad this year for any toys! Keep your room clean!”
This line. “that was my point – just help people with the basics – make it two parts – a real simple noob guide and then all your expert notes can be a second part” simply smacks of fat, lazy American hubris, and says more about your ability to understand anything more complex than Lincoln Logs quite nicely.
Finishing off, we have:
“why mix the two audiences anyway? unless YOU never wrote any real documentation or..”
Here is where you’re making your fatal mistake. Lex has nothing to do with RLV. If you want to bitch and moan about the “altogether too hard to understand due to lack of Mickey Mouse pictures” directions, try screaming at Marine Kelly, the creator of RLV. I’m sure she will be very interested to hear your complaints and give you a Punch and Judy show style demo of how to use RLV forthwith. The fact that you shit all over Lex’s house — her blog — and show us nothing but bile and fat, stupid laziness speaks volumes about your character, which is on the order of robber crab or sea slug.
“why mix the two audiences anyway? unless YOU never wrote any real documentation or..”
And what do you call your “reply” as it might be? The Magna Carta of internet posting? Were I Lex, I would have just consigned your tripe to the rubbish bin and banned you from the site. But then again, we all do get a laugh at your expense this Saturday Morning, so I guess it’s not all bad.
Your F*ing bluebird of happiness,
Vanni
Odd, day two of my SL existence saw me downloading the RLV viewer.
Does that mean I stopped being a noob on day two or just that I’m inherently kinky?
well .. uhm … “yes” *grins*
Such ire from a simple poke! The swarm of dread that followed shows it must be this enclave that holds the narrowest of compassions.
Review my first post, and that fateful last line…
‘write docs for a noob not for your absentmindednism’
this only suggested that the docs i have read at that point ignored any hand holding and looked to me to be of specific details in which comprehension sailed past me as i thrashed in a sea of noobness
yet such a declare of war that it was, this line has brought all courtesy to be buried and arms be raised
the caricature you desire for me, and perhaps the same you throw on anyone who doesn’t present themselves in your strict light, only shows how adamant you are of ever showing any flaw in form yourself, lest you be attacked by the company you keep
all your points are aimed at someone ‘who should know better’
well, I didn’t see any ‘Experts Only’ signs on this blog and didn’t get the memo of indoctrination before posting out of character in this land of snobbery
Obviously the first dose of Smackdown was good to your taste since you came back and asked for more. I can usually get five or six crying responses before the target runs off with her ball and finds another park to play in. Maybe you’ll last a few extra.
“Such ire from a simple poke! The swarm of dread that followed shows it must be this enclave that holds the narrowest of compassions.”
Yes, we do have lack of compassion — not lack of compassion for people that are generally asking questions about how X works, but for semi-literates who like to wipe their arse all over the walls, demanding that something be done for them, when all they need to do is put some effort forward to do the same thing.
You obviously must come from some kind of a patrician background where you were spoon fed every morsel and your arse wiped with the gentlest of towels. This is the only way I can comprehend that something as simple as the RLV provokes total lack of comprehension and ire from a person that at least seems intelligent enough to start a computer and find a web site (unless your nanny does that for you too?) So if you’re looking for “compassion” from a group of people that you start off with by hurling insults, maybe you should go hang with Paris Hilton and her crew. They seem more up your alley.
“Review my first post, and that fateful last line…
‘write docs for a noob not for your absentmindednism’”
First of all, who is the “your” in your line above? Unless you are only capable of thinking on the level of cherrystone clam (which is totally possible), you might note that this blog is NOT the blog of Marine Kelly, so the “your” is totally inappropriate when making this kind of a statement.
But even assuming that Marine reads this blog with any regularity, how do you assume that equating a person to an Alzheimer’s victim is going to engender any sympathy to you? Do you always call help desks and start off with insulting the phone operator there? Or do you really think that saying the maker of X device has the memory of a mayfly is the best way to get them to do something positive for you?
So basically, “reviewing your first post” just shows that you have the manners of an amoeba drawing down on its victim. Why should we give you the time of day after that?
“yet such a declare of war that it was, this line has brought all courtesy to be buried and arms be raised”
I guess a good idea tomorrow would be to walk into a neighborhood church I’ve never visited before and defecate on their altar, then ask for communion and to be married at the same time. By your line of thinking, being insulting gets you somewhere, so obviously going with the nuclear option in the local house of worship should send me straight to heaven. Right?
Now we get to the whiny, oh-poor-me stuff that usually stems from exposure to Smackdown:
“the caricature you desire for me, and perhaps the same you throw on anyone who doesn’t present themselves in your strict light, only shows how adamant you are of ever showing any flaw in form yourself, lest you be attacked by the company you keep”
Boo hoo hoo. You come in here, crap all over the floor, and then want us to lick you clean? When you go to the dentist, do you punch him in the mouth and then warn him not to get his blood in your dental dam while he fixes your cavity?
Now what you do is project your sad, pathetic self-loathing onto me. You realize that failing to read simple instructions is the cause of your lack of being able to use RLV, and instead of simply accepting that, you first tried to characterize Marine as a dementia victim. Now, when exposed as the ninny you are, you try to question my character rather than admit how wrong you were in the first place. This is a usual defensive stunt that people in your position rely on; it’s just rather sad (or telling) that you succumbed to it so quickly.
But you want to make this an issue of “flaws”, ok. What exactly did you pay for RLV? Nothing. Marine does all this hard for for free, keeping up with SL Viewer (that dreaded word again) updates so that the BDSM community can have a working viewer. She gets paid nothing for that, yet she does it out of the goodness of her heart.
I guess “free” to you means “free for me to make all the insulting comments I want about it, along with demands for help from others.” You act as if you paid $5000US for this, when in fact it’s gratis. I’d hate to see what you do with presents from your family — if they’re not to your liking or have a set of instructions that takes something more than a 3rd grade reading level to comprehend, you must throw them back and return to your Playstation.
And yet you want to talk about *my* character here? *sigh*
“all your points are aimed at someone ‘who should know better’
If by “knowing better” you mean “read the f*ing instructions” then yes, I imagine so.
“well, I didn’t see any ‘Experts Only’ signs on this blog and didn’t get the memo of indoctrination before posting out of character in this land of snobbery”
You’re the one that was moaning on about “endless confusion” and saying that the maker of RLV can’t remember her last name, not me. When you come in making those kind of statements, what exactly do you expect? A flying carpet and 49 virgins on RLV?
Clue for the clueless: when you act like a twit, people will treat you like a twit. If you can’t be bothered to read instructions for a free item, don’t come into a place where the maker of that device is thought of in high regard and start crapping all over the walls. We aren’t going to feel sorry for you, and we aren’t going to treat you as anything more than the twit you make yourself out to be.
You want nice, be nice. It’s really a simple maxim that’s part of all the world’s major religions and ethical systems. But as your actions show your upbringing was either total lacking or so pampered you can’t be arsed to think for yourself, that might be a bit much to ask.
If you don’t like it here, the door is that way —>. Don’t let your proverbial backside hit it on the way out, please.
It might just have an RLV trap on it and we’ll have you hanging around for bugger knows how long.

Vanni – look at your reactions to one line of provoking
If you can’t rise above a frustrated noob’s displeasure, and instead use it to unleash all your pent up hatred then I am glad I was able to provide such an outlet
You truly aspire to project and dismantle a person’s character from afar and it is now two completely different character views and attacks you have cast about me (such strong assumptions from so few observations..)
Should I write a different prose entirely again so you may have yet another inspired march to assumed superiority?
A dim-witted lackey? a short attention teen? a dry witted hipster? I can go on and on.. I am a writer, and perhaps not the greatest ‘reader’ as you amplified in various fashions
perhaps you might realize who is toying with who at this juncture.. or perhaps not
Here we go, round three!
“Vanni – look at your reactions to one line of provoking”
Here you admit to be provocative, but all this time you’ve been going on about how you’re just abused for not having a system that spoon feeds you. So which is it, “frustrated noob” or person who felt like crapping on the walls? I vote for the latter.
“If you can’t rise above a frustrated noob’s displeasure, and instead use it to unleash all your pent up hatred then I am glad I was able to provide such an outlet”
Oh this isn’t hatred at all, dearie, it’s fun. Obviously you’re not familiar with flame wars and Smackdown — at one time on USENET I used to get five or six of these things out a day when clueless dolts would wheel into various newsgroups I read and start saying agitating. We’d make sport of the dolt for a while, until the point that they would cry, pick up their ball and go play elsewhere.
I haven’t had a good chance to let out some Smackdown for a while, so when Lex pointed me to your post, I wanted to do a bit, like that old song says, “for the good times.” You’re just the unlucky deer I had in the scope of my .30-30 the past couple days.
I was going to deconstruct more of your post, but I see now you’re moving to the “I’m better than you and can string you along, fishy fishy” that usually comes along in a good flame war. This part usually means the target has no good answer for anything posited, and now must take a stand of moral and verbal superiority to his/her interlocutors. After all, you can’t say you were wrong, nor can you admit we had a point. Ergo, the only thing left is to puff yourself up with moral pride and say how horrible we all are while continuing to “string us along.”
Seen it before, and I have the Richard Simmons Jazz–R-Size DVD in my bookshelf.
So rather than continue with your inane ramblings above, let’s just look at what you’ve graced us with so far. First, you come on this blog out of the blue and accuse “the maker of RLV” of dementia because she didn’t provide a set of instructions for a FREE product on a level that a young blowfish can understand. Even though the majority of us that read this blog have used RLV and understand it quite well, you seem to think that it’s incomprehensible for anyone without a 3rd grade education. Fair enough, we all have our learning problems.
Had you just said “I found RLV difficult to use because the instructions were, IMO, a bit lacking” we might have sympathized with you. But rather than making a rational point, you make one that you admit above to being provocative.
Lex calls you on that statement, in a fair but firm way suggesting that the problem is that you didn’t read the instructions well (or at all) and so had issues. I asked you, nicely, what you thought the “V” in “RLV” meant. At this point you could have chosen to back off, say something like “I didn’t understand the instructions, but I got it working, thanks for your help” and all would have been done.
But rather than “moral superior” that you now claim to be, you chose to crap all over the floor. You bitch about how noobs are lamebrains who can’t read a document unless it has Teletubbies, Donald Duck and uses words on a Richard Scarry level. You kvetch that no one seems to know what a “viewer” is (even though the word “viewer” is plastered all over the download screen). You tell Lex her time is worthless for writing docs and you wouldn’t read them anyway. Then you finish with suggesting that Lex has never written anything technical (you do seem to like to make the kind of judgments about people you’re crying about above) when you know nothing of Lex, her abilities or what she does in real life.
And you have the utter gall to cry “foul!” when hit with Smackdown?
These days we find people with amazing senses of entitlement. I teach on a college level, and I have students that think all they have to do is show up and they get a C, that if they do work that looks like a yak vomited all over a piece of notebook paper it’s worth an A, and that they don’t have to do anything like read, study, or make an effort. All they want to do is play with their iPhones, text each other, talk about hair, cars and sex, and skate through life given everything. They act shocked — SHOCKED — when their crappy paper is read and they get a D on it, or they don’t get an A on something that looks like it’s covered in albatross droppings.
The Western world is spiraling down the tubes because the majority of people think they are “owed something” for simply breathing, eating and excreting waste in toilets. You are simply one small cog in this entire wheel of entitlement. God forbid you should actually take the time to “read” something, or ask for help: everything is supposed to be pre-packaged and put on training wheels so you don’t have to exert the slightest amount of effort to learn anything. I see this all the time, and the fact that you “outed” yourself for us all to see is what got you in my crosshairs — well that and jumping all over my friend Lex when she rather nicely called you on your stupid statement.
This very feeling of entitlement you offer up is why the West is eventually going to fall to the Chinese in the economic and political arenas. The Chinese don’t have to fire a shot to take over the world — all they need to do is just wait for the West to get so fat, lazy and stupid that the industrious, educated and sophisticated nation of China can simply step in and take over the ruins. I give the West 30 years at most, probably less at the rate things are going.
When your kids can’t find any decent jobs since they are all in China, we are all learning Mandarin as the world’s language, and you can’t get buy anything without having enough Yuan in your pocket, you can thank the sense of entitlement you’re part of for the New World Order.

What a good laugh – I have been around since the days of usenet as well, and fido net, and q-link and.. from the beginning of cyber wars and 300 baud modems ‘dearie’
and your attraction to flame wars has led you into a trolling noose just like the hornets that flock into the traps by the pool out back.. rotting on their conquest unwittingly…
but.. you have invested such an amount of energy and reputation that you must keep inflating this assumed flame war as if I am caring more than my original one line of frustration…and your preoccupation of using ‘crapping on walls, etc’ as your only means of description is showing how much of a noob you are of lively expression.
I began trolling from the second post, I guess a long time net vet like you would of spotted it, but I guess you still have some pathetic stunted noob growth in you too, no? you still have no clue who I am anyway.. male or female?? drop out or well schooled?
If you are a teacher that can’t show a level of humility to someone’s first gasps of frustration, it is time to hang up the chalk, eh?
There is no sense of entitlement on my end at all, a simple question asked without extensive research is my only crime. You bury the memory of being a noob yourself, high in your lonely ivory tower. Yet, you love it that way, to have the have’s and have nots to justify your hardworking, no askin fer help path- yet not everyone in your position feels the same dearie – during the early crackin tag warz my group would always provide free access codes to runners and we spread quickkkkly into the 0-1 days warez boards because of it
time to change your idea of me yet again… the 80’s was wild west fun, the 90’s was high theater, and nowadays it is all a ruse – perhaps i should fire up the old amiga to post this; or maybe the even dustier C64
PS- I guess if I or your students start adding the term ‘crap’ more in our efforts, we would be graded and viewed in a better light since you are so enamored with it
Yah yah, I had a 300 baud modem for my Atari 800, which I learned to program on, and used to play with Warez and all kinds of kiddy stuff back in the day too. So your credentials just mean you’re in the same generation as me, hardly a reason for me to gasp.
“and your attraction to flame wars has led you into a trolling noose just like the hornets that flock into the traps by the pool out back.. rotting on their conquest unwittingly…”
You still don’t get it, what I’m doing is “fun”. I don’t intend to “win” anything, you may be better than most but all this is to me is a form of recreation, between Python coding and working on LSL scripts.
I don’t really care if you drag this out to 10 posts or bow out. I’ll give you a few kudos for not being a net-noob though.
“and your preoccupation of using ‘crapping on walls, etc’ as your only means of description is showing how much of a noob you are of lively expression.”
Hey if it describes the situation, it works 😉
“I began trolling from the second post”
Now that you admit you’re a troll, you’ve basically shown exactly why you have contempt for anyone that would correct you. You couldn’t back off, could you? You wanted to get people upset, so I can only assume you sit in your collection of C-64s, Amigas and spare parts and get off doing that. Sad really.
“There is no sense of entitlement on my end at all, a simple question asked without extensive research is my only crime”
It’s hardly extensive research. Actually you can find whole websites and wikis devoted to using RLV.
You’re just lazy. You want people to do your work for you, even for something for free. And we have your number.
–snip rest of post dealing with meaningless credentials.
-V
Wait.. all that long winded preaching of your credentials were not meaningless?
Are we at the point where what you do matters and others that do same do not?
Anyway I’ll go back to yelling at christmas toy instructions and you can go back to examining walls for fecal matter
The idea of the restrained life viewer itself is good.
I would love to see a light version of it – disallowing doms to forbid me sendIMs / receive IMs. Since IMs are OOC there is no reason to give a dom the power of them ;p
I hate wannabe RP-doms who would just for fun cut my IMs – the attempt was there already many times – which is why I don’t use RLV. (the collar I wear searches for RLV and I get a notice as soon someone tries to enable something connected with RLV) Even telling them to not do it does not prevent them from doing it, tried that already as well. I even have a pick in my profle especially for NOT turning my IMs off while on RLV – still they do it, and now I uninstalled it. Sad story, the idea is nice.
@Evilynn. It’s not the viewer that’s at fault, it’s that you’re not finding the right people.
There is no reason to uninstall RLV, you can have both on your system. I know a few people who run the normal viewer but will relog in to RLV if they find someone they feel they can trust with it. In Emerald that’s as simple as checking the checkbox for RLV and relogging, in the normal viewer you run the SecondLife.exe instead of the RestrainedLife.exe.
For myself I always run RLV but I don’t wear anything on open access. On the increasingly rare occasions I do bottom, it’s a simple matter to give the top access to my #RLV and have fun watching them try to make sense of that junkyard (it needs a real good cleanout).
If you like, IM me in world and I’ll show you how to run RLV at little to no risk. it’s unfortunate you’ve had bad experiences, such experiences is a large part of my motivation to write what I write.

I have tried reinstalling SL and the RLV just toget rid of the ban on IMs going out or coming in. I have removed everything that can triger the order Collar, rings, and so on and it doesn’t make any difference. The only way I can use my IMs is to log in Without the RLV. How can I fix this?

hey im having troubled running rlv on my linux ubuntu os please help me need it my misstress on sl is getting upset
I am curious, my Master has not banned IM’s for me (yet), but He said He would be monitoring them. Will He be able to see what I said in the IM’s? Or just who I IM? I don’t even know for sure whether He will be doing that, or if it was a tactic to make me more aware, but I’m curious about it.
There is no technical capacity within RLV to monitor IMs; indeed the local chat monitoring found in some collars and other devices is not a feature of the RLV viewer.
I wrote a blog post some time ago about http://shuggi.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/surveillance-and-trust/ , you might like to read it.
As soon as Irins head tucked into the curve of her neck, tears broke out. Most of Jaraks men were stationed closely around the womens tower and the central court. She turned down the wide corridor that stretched past the arched entrance to the gardens. She recognized that particular position from prior matches and knew it wasnt one easily broken. She felt the soothing fingers of a sleep spell seep into her mind. Be proud of what you just accomplished. Needing reassurance, Eyrhaen glanced up at her former master. Her sound roused the couple lying before her. These people still loved her, even if she no longer believed she deserved it. She wished he were there, but she understood why it was best that he wasnt. She felt more than saw Tykir at her side. When she caught herself leaning toward Tykirs warmth, she jerked back to herself. She glared up at Tykir when he laughed. He growled, lips slanting over hers as he thrust again. She wiggled, and he stopped. None of the others had been carved to look like a reedy young tree. She blinked, never having seen it from that angle. My infertility is mine alone, due to my time between realms. She could feel it in her soul. She slipped her fingers from his mouth, continuing to pump his cock.
Trying to find the linux version of RLV and everywhere the link seems broke. Any help or update or anything on it?
Unfortunately, the gal who was nicely compiling the Linux RLV for reasons I can’t remember. Thus, the Linux version from eRestraint is no longer available.
I think your best bet for RLV on Linux is the Emerald viewer. The main drawback there is it uses the old 1.3 interface instead of the 2.0 interface (not necessarily a drawback for all of us :P)
The latest stable release can be found here:http://emerald.modularsystems.sl/
If you’re wanting some of the 2.0 features, like alpha layers and tattoo layers, you can download the latest Emerald beta. I’ve been using it, and I haven’t found it to be any less stable than SL is normally. You can find it on this blog post: http://blog.modularsystems.sl/2010/06/25/emerald-2270-beta-release/
Hope that helps!
Greetings to all. I really want to install the RLV, but i downloaded it, followed the instructions and then SL crashed. Do i have to do something more? what could i possibly do wrong? Any help will be so kind!!!
im enjoying SL alot, but as it is said, i really want to enhance it..Thank you!!
It depends what viewer you’re using. If you’re using 2.0 then you need to d/l the patch for that viewer, if you’re using 1.23 then you need to use the patch for that one.
Like many I use Emerald which has RLVa (an alternative but compliant spec of RLV) as a selectable option.
Which can be found here: http://emerald.modularsystems.sl/
Or here, if you want the latest beta with viewer 2 features (but still the classic interface): http://blog.modularsystems.sl/2010/07/24/emerald-2439-final-beta-release/
Like Shu said, make sure your RLV version matches your SL version. Probably the most common mistake people make is getting the wrong version for their viewer. Which isn’t a problem for Emerald, which is a self-contained package.
ok, tahnk you very much,
Is it possible to have emerals and sl viewer installed at the same time or i skould uninstall?
By the way, i used the last RLV and has just entered SL, so i supose i have 2.0 or higher
Any way, thank you alot.
can this work on the new version of secondlife
Hello, My Mistress restricted me chat and emotes, but… using OOC style chat ie ((some words)), I was able to communicate, is this RLV behavior by design?
@lilou: yes, that’s by design. OOC is what it is, out of character, that’s why it’s unrestricted (although Marine’s RR gags do add time penalties for using it).
It’s 2011 and Marine’s doing v2 versions of RLV. I’ve builds of both the i386 Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and Ubuntu Linux on my blog.
Lovely instructions for those who are half way knowledgable or more, but not for me. For example, when u say things like, ” I have this in my iso suit’s ball hood” I am COMPLETELY lost. How to put something into something is way beyond me.
Maybe I am condemned to be outside use of RLV due to lack of knowledge, but maybe there is a REAL BEGINNERS page somewhere that does not use any abbvs. and no IN s (translation: INitials, see how u can come to hate abbvs. ). If so, please refer me to this RANK BEGINNERS page. Thanks.
Hi there! This post couldn’t be written much better!
Looking at this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
He always kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this post to him.
Fairly certain he’ll have a very good read. Thank you for sharing!
Hi, I am new to SL and must admit I am finding things rather confusing but I am slowly beginning to understand.
Am I right in saying that you can attach restraints to yourself but not to others. The tutorials I have read through do not show how you select your sub, only select yourself. (I do not like to use the word victim – but you know what I mean).
If you can restrain another SL player can you explain (without using jargon) how it is done. How do you go about selecting the sub and the various computer commands that are needed.
Regards
Martin Thomas
