Info Panels - Features

This is a marketing or promotion tool for any product, service, or SIM role-play information you want to share with others. It is sized to given to people as a HUD, but can be resized to become an in-world display.

When shared as a HUD, new owners can share with friends for wider distributions

There are three panels. The left and right panels each have a static texture with information. They can also be configured with touch areas to reference a webpage, a SLurl, give a notecard, or play a sound file.

The center panel provides a slide show with as many images as you want

The default configuration that is provided, and shown in the below video, demonstrates the available features. In this case, the center panel gallery has a slide show of my other products.

Use it as a HUD to give away

The panels are originally sized for use as a HUD.

• But it is best to work on the panels when rezzed on the ground
• The height of the panels (the "Y" size), should be about 0.7 for use as a HUD
• To prepare it to be shared, change the Next Owner Permissions to be No Modify for:
  • The CONFIG notecard
  • The object itself
• When you reset scripts "Share" will be added to the name of the object so you know it is ready to be given away.
• Take it into your inventory and test it as a HUD then give to a friend and have them test it.
• They will be also be able to share it with friends.

Use it as an In-world Display

The panels are sized for use as a HUD. To resize for a scaled up display for your parcel:

• Rezz the panel on the ground
• Right click on the panels and select Edit
• Press and hold the Ctrl and Shift keys
• Drag the front white corner markers up and toward the side to re-size the object
• The textures will be automatically resized to fit the defined aspect ratio.

Configuration

The name of the configuration notecard starts with CONFIG. Each time you modify this notecard the product will automatically reset.

Configuration details are here.

The Product Key Box

This product is designed for purchasers to modify and then transfer to a new owner as a HUD. But before the Info Panels object is transferred to another owner, the Next Owner permissions must be set to No Modify on both the object AND the configuration notecard.

If these permissions are not changed, the next owner will just get 3 pretty black blocks to look at.

In order for the original purchaser to work on the product, the Product Key Box must be rezzed nearby. The original owner will be prompted to do this when this is required.

4 L.I.

Permissions: Copy, Modify, Transfer, but the Next Owner permissions must be changed to No Modify before distributing.
