i upgraded the ScanHUD i released last summer. The current version is 1.10 and if i’m right, everybody who bought one of the versions before should have received an updated version now.

Mainly i did a few updates in the scripting for the online list. In the older version it gave sometimes a online or offline message for users who didnt come online or offline… that was a lil disturbing, so i started the upgrade. I also upgraded some code to make the perform better and generate less lag…

the look; i also decided to make the thingy a bit better looking. Therefor, this version is now released in 3 different colors. A green one, blue one and a pink one :)

some main info;

The ScanHUD can be used (in SL) to see who is near you in the same sim. It can scan a range up to 96 meters. It shows u in order of the distance the avatars nearby. It will give a [W] behind the name if the avatar is walking, a [F] if he/she is flying, a [S] when its sitting on somewthing and a [M] when the person is in mouselook. Also it will give <busy> or <away> when that person is. You can lower the scan range by clicking on the HUD and choose ’set range’ in the dialog.

Also, you can make ur own ‘friends-list’ and see who is online and who is not. Handy for friends and enemy. It checks the online status right from the SecondLife dataserver, so ur friends can’t hide their online status for you when u are wearing this HUD. All you have to do, is put there UUID (userkey) in a notecard in the HUD. You probably don’t know your friends userkey without checking it somehwere, so… you can search it with the scanhud :) more then 12 milion userkeys are available in the database!

Looking up a userkey is very easy, just type (while wearing the HUD) in your chat: “/131lookup firstname lastname” (without the ” and where firstname lastname is the avatar name of the person you are looking up the key for). The HUD should give you within a few seconds the key where you are looking for, it shows up in your chat history where you can select and copy it.

Also, you can see the userkeys of the people who are in the range of 96 meters. Just click your HUD, and in teh dialog that pops up click ‘list keys’. Within a bit the ScanHUD will give you a list of the people around and their keys (UUID).

When you see somebody is near you on your scanner, but you can’t see the person… that can be sometimes a real big search. So i made it easy for you. Just click your HUD and in the dialog click on ‘teleports’. In a bit the HUD will give you all the teleport URL’s for the people near you. If you open your chat history thos URL’s are clickable, and right away it will give you a pop-up to teleport. The HUD is configured that it will drop you 1.5 meters above the avatars last position. If the avatar is moving you can offcourse drop a few meters away :)

That’s it for now :) if you are using the ScanHUD and you have any troubles. Please send me (Wietje Montgolfier) an in-world notecard describing your problem.
