A giant L for your forehead


Inco brings us this incredibly useful item. It is exactly what it looks like, a huge L you can wear on your forehead on days when you feel like you need one. Pick it up from SLX or at our little shop in Hanson. 5L, that's about two cents!

A new little toy and a new face

Incoherendt Randt is now a Toritoys script kitty, and is offering an inexpensive little MystiTool add-on called Inco's Chat Script that lets you simply say, shout or whisper commonly used phrases to public chat with a button press. Drag in the script and notecard, change the notecard to include things you might actually want to say, and you're ready to go. It is available in the new Toritoys shop for a whopping 5 lindens, mod/copy/transfer OK!

"Error reading notecard. Please try again." fix

If you like, you can pick up a teensy update to MEAO.  It is only a one line change to the MEAO core script, to suppress the "Error reading notecard. Please try again." message that would turn up if other scripts inside MystiTool also used dataserver events. It was a leftover assumption in ZHAO-II that it had the whole HUD to itself, harmless but annoying.

You can pick it up in the usual place, well, the new usual place, that is =)


To install, take the old MEAO Core and MEAO Interface scripts out of your MystiTool, and drop in these new ones. It is a good idea to detach and reattach MystiTool after this kind of change, second Life remembers attachment changes more reliably that way.

Moved to, uh, whiter pastures?

Toritoys has a permanent home now in Hanson, right behind the infohub! Here is a SLURL for the relocated shop, still a temporary structure until I get more time.

MEAO and MystiTool 1.0.22

First the good news: everything seems to be working just fine here after the update. The bad news: with a HUD update comes moving over your stuff!

You can migrate your AO stuff just as you would move from a standalone version of ZHAO-II, see the MEAO instructions for details. In a nutshell, copy your animations and notecards to a fresh folder in inventory. Leave the old MEAO scripts behind in the old HUD and copy fresh ones into your new copy of MystiTool along with the animations and notecards.

If you did copy the old scripts back into the new HUD (naughty naughty!), you may find that they are stopped from the shuffle. That's OK, they can be fixed! First, wear your new MystiTool loaded with scripts and animations and notecards, and let it do all its startup things. Then, right-click and edit it. Go over to the Contents tab and wait a couple of minutes for Second Life to properly fill in the entries (it can take a while before all the contents are really there and the menus work). Right-click and open the MEAO Core script, make sure the "running" box at the bottom is checked, then press the Reset button. Close it, and repeat with the MEAO interface script.

Feel free to contact me in world if you find any issues. My network access may be funky for the next few days while some fixes are done around here after some storm damage, but I will get back to you when I can! If you don't hear back within a day or so, try again (perhaps with a notecard) - I simply don't trust that SL communications will always get to me the first time :/
