Myriad Lite

Myriad Lite Concepts

The HUD is the core of the game system and is the only "mandatory" piece you need to play the game.

The HUD is attached to a HUD slot, usually Lower Left.

Setting Up The Myriad Lite HUD

1. Create a simple cube
   1. Size the cube to 0.250 meters for X,Y, and Z
   2. Apply the Myriad logo to it
   3. Set the cube to 50% transparent.
2. Drag and Drop the following pieces from inventory into the cube:
   1. The Myriad Lite Module Armor script
   2. The Myriad Lite Module BAM script
   3. The Myriad Lite Module Character Sheet script
   4. The default character sheet notecard
   5. The Myriad Lite Module Meter script
   6. The Myriad Lite Module Resilience script
   7. The Myriad Lite Module Rumors script
   8. The Myriad Lite Module Skill Close Combat script
   9. The Myriad Lite Module Skill Ranged Combat script
   10. The Myriad Lite Module WELL script
   11. The Myriad Lite script itself (Must be compiled as Mono due to size)
3. Edit the character sheet notecard to set a default character name for yourself at the top.
4. Take the cube into inventory
5. Right-click the cube in inventory and choose the "Attach to HUD -> Bottom Left" attachment point.
6. You should see Myriad Lite begin loading your character from the character sheet and tell you when its ready to play.
7. Edit the HUD attachment to position it.
8. Detach the HUD back to inventory to "save" the position.

Quickstart For Players

(required) Wear the HUD. (optional) Wear the hovertext meter (optional) Wear armor, which you should see reported in your chat window. (optional) Wear a holster (optional) Wear a melee or ranged combat weapon

Commands

Myriad Lite accepts a variety of chat commands on channel 5.

Many commands are detailed below in context, and more are described in the additional module documentation as well.

/5 <command> will activate that command.

Scripters can also send the same commands as a link message.

Custom HUDs can be constructed with buttons named each command, and the button will activate the command of the same name

You can send commands to Myriad Lite on chat channel 5.

Using the Talker/Emoter

A new roleplay talker/emoter module has been integrated into the HUD to send Out Of Character (OOC) and In-Character (IC) messages, emotes, and even thinking-out-loud.

OOC messages and To send an OOC message: /22 <message>

 Example: (( Allen Kerensky says, "this is an OOC message" ))

To send an OOC emote: /23 <emote>

 Example: (( Allen Kerensky laughs as an OOC emote ))

To send an IC message: /44 <message>

 Example: Allie Reiland says, "this is just talking out loud"

To send an IC "thinking out loud" message: /45 <thinking>

 Example: Allie Reiland thinks, 'hmmm why did they say that?'

To send an IC emote: /66 <emote>

 Example: Allie Reiland runs for the hills.

To send an IC narration message: /88 <narration>

 Example: The computer gives out a soft beep as the security software is cracked and crashes.

Using the Dice Roller

I've built a simple dice roller into the HUD that sends its results as an OOC message. It will show the type of roll, individual dice results, and the total of adding the dice together. It does not support +/- modifiers - those can be done in your head **grin**.

To roll X number of dice with Y sides: /5 roll XdY

 Example:
 /5 roll 3d6
 ((Allen Kerensky rolls 3d6 resulting in 4, 5, 2,  totalling 11.))
