With older relays, one device would have to relinquish control, or no other device could take control. This is nice for having areas where there's a "zone controller" that applies certain restrictions to everyone in the zone, while also allowing individual pieces of furniture to also apply restrictions. Version 2.1 now supports simultaneous control from up to three devices. Make sure you change these after a reset if those aren't the settings you want! Do note that resetting the scripts will return all the settings to their defaults, which means the mode will return to auto-accept and safeword will be turned off. You should probably never need to do this, but it's here just in case. * Reset: This resets all the scripts in the relay. Also, see the caveats of the "Reset" command, they also apply for automatic resets caused by using the safeword with no one around. You may only scream the safeword once every five minutes. If there's no one available to help you, it automatically resets the relay, freeing you. If there is anyone in range to hear you scream, they can come aid you. If you select it, you scream out the safeword. However, if the safeword is available, you get one option, "Scream". When a device takes control of you, clicking on the relay normally gives you a box with a little info but no options - you're completely helpless. * Safeword: Thus button toggles the safeword status beween "On" and "Off" (the default). If you say "Yes", it is given control, if you say "No", it is not. When set in "Ask permission" mode, permission is only automatically granted to objects you own, any other devices asking to use the relay will prompt a dialog box on your screen, where you must grant that device permission to control you. This is dangerous, but of course, that's the whole point, isn't it? ) Nevertheless, some people may only want to be controlled by certain significant others rather than just anyone, so you can switch it from the default auto-accept mode to "Ask permission" instead. When set to "Auto-accept", any attempts to control you are automatically accepted. * Mode: This button toggles the permissions mode between "Auto-accept" and "Ask permission". Once worn, you can click on the relay to bring up a menu where you can set the permissions mode, enable "safeword" support, or reset the HUD. If you can't see it, go to the menu bar > View > Toolbar to toggle it off, and close your chat bar (press the "Esc" key), then move it up some. On my screen it's still visible even with the toolbar on, but your screen and UI size settings may differ. Be aware that if you position it on the top, you might not be able to read the hovertext that appears when you're being restrained.) If you use the Second Life viewer's toolbar on the bottom of your screen, you might need to move the relay up a tad.
(It attaches to the "bottom" HUD attachment point, but you're free to move it if you like. You'll see a tiny green LED appear on the bottom of your screen, a bit to the left. It's free, so give it a try and see if you like it better.įirst, just wear it. Despite this, it does display more information and has some features not found in some of the other relays out there, which is the reason we decided to make our own rather than simply offer one of the several free relays already available. It's designed to be as unobtrusive as possible while being easy to use, so no huge logos or icons, just click it for a simple menu with simple options. There are a number of free ones available in world - this one is ours. Now, in order for furniture and other in-world devices to take advantage of the Restrained Life Viewer, you must also wear an RLV Relay. Personally, I use the Cool SL Viewer, but I haven't tried some of the others so I don't really know if it's the best, but I certainly like it.
