Myriad Lite

This space allows me to release at-whim snapshots of various parts of the Myriad Lite development as I go, for testing and feedback by live users.

I will change this page as needed as I put various pieces together and all changes available here will roll up in the next Preview Release.

This page will be wiped out and started fresh each preview release.

Scripts I post here generally compile and run on OpenSim and OSgrid, but may not have ever been ported to SecondLife.

Scripts I post here generally are checked with lslint before posting, but might not always be.

Recent Updates

Servers

Rumors

The Rumor system is intended to allow regions to offer a way for players to start anonymous, but moderated, in character rumors for all other players to find through NPCs or quests.

The Rumor System comes in two parts - a standalone server script with a notecard of "starting" or "seed" rumors that the region admin

The second part is a Myriad Lite HUD module that provides the interface for the player to the rumor server.

A better interface is planned, as well as integration with NPCs and quests.

The Rumor Server has also been upgraded from my prototype versions to allow the owner's objects (like BAM quest goals) to add pre-approved rumors.

• Myriad Lite Rumor Server v0.0.4 20120317

CSV Equipment

I've updated the equipment CSV table, which means a new notecard version on the scripted change to the new notecard name.

Using The Rumor System

Players

• /5 RUMOR_LIST - list currently active rumors
• /5 RUMOR_MODERATE - moderate the list of pending rumors
• /5 RUMOR_RESET - reset the entire rumor system back to seed rumors only

Using The New Character Sheet System

Players

You can create region-specific characters by copying the default character sheet notecard into a new notecard named: Firstname Lastname@RegionName

For example: Allen Kerensky@Ice_Moon_Exillion

The character sheet module will look for EITHER a region-specific notecard, OR the default notecard name if a region specific notecard is not found (see the FIND_NOTECARD function of the Character Sheet Module script).
