The AVsitter2 scripts can be freely obtained from this GitHub repository and imported into Second Life or OpenSim manually by following the guide below.

If you would prefer a packaged version of the latest release, and to receive packaged in-world updates of future releases, visit the SL Marketplace. Proceeds from marketplace sales are shared with open-source contributors and will help support continued development of AVsitter.

Importing the AVsitter2 scripts into Second Life / OpenSim

1. Visit the AVsitter project releases page and download the .zip file for the latest AVsitter2 release to your computer.

2. Unpack the file you downloaded to a folder where you plan on keeping your AVsitter distributions.

3. In your Second Life inventory, locate a suitable place and create a folder named AVsitter, where you'll save all the scripts and needed objects.

4. For each .lslo file that you unpacked from the .zip file, create a new script in your Second Life inventory and rename it to match exactly the same name as the file you unpacked, but without the .lslo at the end of the name.

   For example, if the script you unpacked was called [AV]sitA.lslo then the script you create in Second Life should be named simply [AV]sitA. The name of the script is important! Do not add .lslo at the end of the name.

5. For each script you just created in Second Life:

   • Open the script in Second Life by double-clicking it.
   • Open the corresponding .lslo file on your computer with a plain text editor (e.g. Notepad).
   • Select All text in the file (CTRL-A) and Copy (CTRL-C).
   • In SL, replace the script's content with the text you've copied. You can do this by overwriting the text of the default script by Selecting All (CTRL-A) and pasting the code you've copied from your computer's text editor (CTRL-V).
   • Once you do this, hit Save to compile the script. If you get a script error, then you have not correctly replaced the entire script's contents with the content of the file on your computer.
   • No errors? Then proceed similarly with the rest of the scripts.

   When you have finished this process you should have created one script for each .lslo file that was in the .zip file, copied the file's contents from your computer and saved it in the corresponding Second Life script.

6. There's still one thing to do to have the distribution working:

   • In Second Life, rez a box and name it [AV]helper.

   • Inside its contents, drop the [AV]helper script that, at this point, you must have created by following the above procedure.

After importing the AVsitter2 scripts into Second Life you are ready to follow the AVsitter2 User Instructions. Where the instructions mention the [AV]helper object, it refers to the object we've just created with the script inside.
