SL: Script : Step on

Carolrb Roux is a typical - but also a special - teacher you'd be likely to run into, on one of the many edu-islands or edu-lands. "It's a pleasure, My pleasure" ... They're so friendly you always wish they were your best friends and part of the real life neighborhood.
- Why don't they make them download-able?

Carol showed me some great'n fun rugs she was working on:



When you step on one of these Halloween rugs, you can hear spooky sounds: cats screeming, ghost sounds and even worse ... We started talking about the different possibilites for education, and I thought that this idea could be great for language teachers. Carolrb - being a teacher that makes awesome creative stuff - had of course thought of this herself. So she showed me some stairs she made earlier for a ... must have been Spanish class, where whenever you took your foot on a step, a number was read out load (you had to have sound in sim on of course). I was thrilled! The best of it all - she then gives me a script to go - so I can make'm myself! I love these SL teachers!

So, this is how it goes:

• You make an object
• Attach a sound file in Content: must be a wav, no longer then 9.8 seconds and 44 100 Kz quality
• Add the sound file name into the script

That's all there is to it! I've got to try that some day - thank you so much: Step on - Carolrb!

She also directs me to a wiki I'd like to share with you: http://slexperiments.pbwiki.com/Landmarks
You can find some neet tutorials in the menu - on SL skills.

Enjoy! c",)

Group Notice: Mysti Tool

The Mysti Tool was the first tool I bought, and I do not regret it! It makes your Second Life a lot easier. If you're a newbie this tool is your first step out of that term. It costs 397 L£ - and it's worth it!

Thanks to AJ Brooks at Mont Claire State for sharing this tool - way back sometime when a bunch gathered around the mysti table :)

Mysti Tool - another must!

Some of the tools in SL is great, some are fun, some are junk and some are a big MUST! The Mysti Tool is a MUST!

At first when I was a newbie I felt a bit dumb at times, because others where so much quicker than I to see who was around, and they moved around quicker. I thought they were a lot smarter ... Well, it turned out they where not really that much smarter, they just had the technology on their side.

After I got this Mysti Tool, organizing landmarks got so much easier. Everytime I go somewhere I like, I just drag the landmark on to the Mysti Tool - easy to get a hold of again some other time. The history folder that displays in a nice menu every time I click the tool (is places in the HUD (i skjermbildet - Head Up Display) makes every favorite place just a click away - without having to search through folders. There are also some great options for teaching, that makes organizing and sessions easy and fun!

If you like to more before you get it: here are some notes copied from the:

MystiTool Quick Start
=============

There are five objects included with MystiTool.

~~ Main Components ~~
1. MystiTool HUD <-- Wear this.
2. MystiTool Implant <-- Wear this. (optional)

~~ Extras ~~
3. MystiTool Land Relay
4. MystiTool Settings Backup
5. MystiTool Sleeper

============
MystiTool HUD
============

This is the main component of MystiTool. Simply wear it.
You will see two grey buttons (circles) which can be clicked.

MystiTool Button = Click this to see the main menu.

More button options available on page 3 of the main menu, or you can say "/1 buttons".

==============
MystiTool Implant
==============

This object is also worn. It must be worn on your avatar, not your hud.
The implant currently provides these features:

1. Dust particles when flying.
2. Avatar finder with "/1 find name".
3. Local light emitter.

By default, flying particles are on. Say "/1 dust off" to turn off the flying particles, or "/1 dust" for color options.
If you would like to find Mystical Cookie with a stream of particles, and they are within 96 meters, you can say "/1 find mys".
The local light emitter may be turned on and off with "/1 light on" and "/1 light off".

================
MystiTool Land Relay
================

MystiTool allows you to ban, unban, unsit, and eject avatars, as well as set the parcel music stream url.
Without the land relay object, this is possible only on land you own directly - NOT group owned. In order for the land commands to work on group owned land, the land relay object must be group deeded to the land.
The land relay object also supports an access list, to allow other MystiTool users to relay their land commands through it.
To modify the land relay's access list, please be within 5 meters of it and say "/1 relay help".

===================
MystiTool Settings Backup
===================

This object will store all your settings and allow you to restore them at later time. Simply rez the object and click it. MystiTool 1.0.6 or higher is required.

=============
MystiTool Sleeper
=============

This object may be placed on land you own to kindly request MystiTool users to enable sleep mode on their MystiTools. For group owned land, this will need to be deeded to the land.

=============
Voice Commands
=============

Most MystiTool features are accessible via menu and voice commands. The voice commands allow much more flexibility, and some features are accessible only by voice command.

To see available voice commands, say "/1 help".

While this is enabled, MystiTool will attempt to hold you in your current position.
It will not protect against "orbiting", but it will be effective against mild pushing.
