Punta ScanHUD v2 - the new pimped edition!

Lately i got some reports about broken ScanHUD’s, and that makes me sad… so, i made a new one! Today I am happy to announce version 2 of the Punta ScanHUD. It contains fixes of all reported bugs and a bunchload of new features. Most of them are just posh things to have, but I think the Punta ScanHUD should be poshy :)

It is totaly upgraded version, I started from scratch and rewrote all scripting inside the ScanHUD. The main reported bug in the version 1 was a memory shortage, I solved that so it shouldn’t be an issue anymore. Furthermore I spent some time creating new and updated functionallity, such as the teleports to nearby avatars. They are no longer presented as an url in the chat but they pop-up as a circle on the world-map. Also, it will show you the profile pic of the chosen user in your hud screen.

Another thing, it is no longer needed to choose a color before you buy. You can just choose the colors in the configuration of your Punta ScanHUD.

Most important for me; now it’s much easier to release new updates of the Punta ScanHUD. Through a special made advanced update system I am able to release new updates anytime I want, and you will all automatically get that new updates. Most updates won’t require a new objectin your inventory and are just script updates that are done within the running ScanHUD. As soon as a new version is available your Punta ScanHUD will automatically load and install it.

If you have any ideas of new functions or extensions on the Punta ScanHUD. Please leave me a comment on this post. I am already working on the next release. (also suggestions for the text/hud color options are very welcome!)

If you currently have a ScanHUD version 1, please send me a notecard in-world with your name and the version you have. Just copy and paste the contents of the ‘online’ notecard from the old into the new ScanHUD.
