Obviously the will function perfectly well when it's daytime too, but when it's midnight.... Just WOW!

NOTE: As with any projector light, the properties of the surface the product shines on will affect the how the projection looks. In particular, projector lights will not be seen on full bright surfaces as they are already at their maximum brightness.

Graphic Preferences

We also recommend for optimum viewing pleasure that you set your graphic preferences to the following settings if your computer graphics can handle it. To open your Preferences window please click Ctrl + P. Set your Performance up to High and tick the Advanced Lighting Model box, the Ambient Occlusion box, set shadows drop down to Sun/Moon + Projectors. Also set your draw distance to about 600 or higher. Please make sure that you set your Objects & Sculpts LOD to 4.0 and Max particle count to max (8192).

Graphic Preferences

This section is for more advanced user settings. You can use the product directly out of the box, but if you wish to have multiple bands with different settings you need to change channel communications.

If you require all bands to be controlled with the same settings etc., then you need not do anything further with each band, just use channel 0, which is the default channel number.

The Master band MUST have a !!! Settings !!! notecard contained in its contents tab in edit mode. All Slave bands do not require a settings notecard, only the master needs a settings notecard.

If you wish to have each band customized in different ways, this can be done easily by setting one of your bands to have a different channel to your first band. To do this you will need to set the channel number for each additional band.

Channel Change

To do this simply amend the description field of one the bands as follows:

  1. Right click and select edit on one of the bands.
  2. In the general tab of the edit dialogue box locate the description field this will already have text in there like this: 
    Channel : 0
  3. Set the new channel by editing this text so for example 
    Channel : 3
    would set the channel to be 3.
  4. Now drag in a !!! Settings !!! notecard into the new master band.
  5. If you are using Firestorm viewer go to the Content tab of the edit dialogue box and click the "Reset Scripts" button. If you are using the Second Life Viewer, you will need to go to the client tool bar (at the top of your screen) and click Build --> Scripts and then select "Reset Scripts". Any other viewer, you may need to refer to the viewers knowledge-base.
  6. On clicking Reset Scripts a dialogue box may pop up if you have never done this before asking you whether you wish to modify scripts in selected object - Just click yes - if no box asking that pops up, then the Reset Progress box will only appear and start going through each script in the unit and set them to running as in this example:
Product Channel Change Confirm
  1. When the dialogue box states done, press close.
  2. The band that you changed will run through its setup.

Do the above for any bands that you wish to have on any other channel. Please remember each Master band MUST have a Settings notecard in it in order to work.

If you edit your product and go to the contents tab, you will notice a Settings notecard.

Product Settings Notecard

Here you can stipulate the colours that the product uses and also the colour change frequency that the colours change. If your favourite venue has a certain colour scheme, then you can add those colours here, removing any others that you do not require.

You also have additional settings that you can adjust for the product. Details of what the settings are and do are written in the Notes section of the notecard also.

When any changes are made to the notecard, press save, changes will be sent to the other bands attached to your avatar automatically.

By default the Master unit is set to the Neck Band. If you require another unit i.e. the left wrist band to be the Master as you do not wish to wear the Neck band, then please follow the instructions (these instructions are the same for whatever band you wish to use as master):

  1. Wear a band i.e. the left wrist band.
  2. Edit the band by right clicking the band then selecting "Edit" from the menu.
  3. Now drag the !!! Settings !!! notecard into the contents tab of the edit dialog box from your inventory.

The settings notecard will then communicate with the other bands when you wear them.
