I'm delighted to introduce the latest HUD & Meter v0.14

AoR HUD v14 Display.png

AoR Button:

  • Max/Min HUD - maximizes or minimizes the HUD
  • IC/OOC - switches both HUD & Meter between In Character(on) and Out of Character(off)
  • Detach - removes both HUD & Meter
  • Resize - shrink or expand the HUD

COINS (touch area over the numbers):

  • Balance - get up-to-date balance - updates the display
  • Transfer - give coins to another player - updates the display

The Coin Display is updated whenever the HUD is attached, Balance is selected or a Transfer is made.  This display is divided into gold, silver & copper coins.

Needs (touch area over the checkmarks):

  • Up-to-date Need totals

The Needs Display is updated every 15 minutes that the Meter is active.

Basket Button:

  • Content - list the bag items & item amounts
  • Get - get an item out of your inventory
  • Transfer - give items to other players

Skills Button:

  • Lists current skills with their associated skill level & skill points

Help Button:

  • Provides a link to the Age of Reason website
  • If the Meter is on, provides a list of commands that can be used with the Meter

Sleeping Beauty Syndrome

Many of us have suffered from “Sleeping Beauty Syndrome” at one time or another.  No Health, no Energy, no Hunger, and no Prince(ss) in sight to save us.  Even though you are paralyzed with inaction here are the steps you can take to get yourself back on your feet:

  • Detach your [AoR] HUD & Meter.
  • Contact Tat who will wave her magic wand, restoring your lifeforce and returning you to consciousness.
  • When you get the go ahead, reattach your [AoR] HUD & Meter.
  • The Meter will show red for some time after being reattached but will green up within 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy your new lease on life!

Updated June 12, 2024 with Sleeping Beauty Syndrome.

Update notes v0.14

AoR HUD v14 Display.png

  • Meter
    • Removed rez & sell items

  • HUD
    • Changed Bag to Basket
    • Added Get to Basket allowing the delivery of items from inventory to the basket owner, e.g. a loaf of bread containing 8 units.  Note that this feature is limited to items which currently have physical containers (bread, flour, wheat) and you must have enough units to completely fill a container.

I'm trying to think about the last bit here  "Added Get to Basket allowing the delivery of items from inventory to the basket owner, e.g. a loaf of bread containing 8 units.  Note that this feature is limited to items which currently have physical containers (bread, flour, wheat) and you must have enough units to completely fill a container."  What would be an example of using the basket like that where you have parts in the basket that need to equal a whole?  I can think of someone slicing bread, adding it to the basket but you could only get a loaf if you had at least 8 slices left.   But then you could never get a slice out so .... ?? 

(I am not wishing I could put individual meal portions in the basket, just trying to visualize what that note meant.)

... waves to Una ...

I expect most people will use their basket to store full containers of flour, wheat, bread etc. as it's easier than keeping the physical containers in their SL inventory.  This will work well for food prepared ahead of time for parties etc. and then stored until needed.  It also makes sense for ingredients that will be used for crafting.

I can see storing partial loaves of bread, for example after a party where there are only two slices left.  Eventually this will accumulate to 8 slices and then you can retrieve a whole loaf.

I see.   It's that last bit I hadn't considered.  I was wondering why would want to add portions to your basket knowing you couldn't get them back out sooner than later.    Thanks.
