PRODUCT:
Once you wear this on your HUD just click it to start listening for the name you defined. You'll be notified with a sound if anyone says your name in the public chat.
INSTRUICTIONS:
1. Rez your object
2. Right-click it and chose Edit
3. Open the notecard called "name" inside
4. Change myname with the name you want to detect on the chat.
5. Add to your HUD and click it to start hearing
6. Click again to switch it off.
Note:
- Substitute myname in the same line it is wrote.
- If you want a different sound just delete the one inside and move in yours and rename it "sound"
- Remember to uncheck the box Mute when minimized in the Preferences -> Sound & Media tab of your SL viewer settings.
EXAMPLE:
Let's say my name is John Smith.
I would open notecard and change "myname" with "John" or "John Smith" or even just "Smith". Probably I'd stick with "John" to be sure to have my name detected. Also I could set a nickname instead if my friends use to call me that way.
- Listens on the public chat for a name you define
- It plays a sound you only hear in your viewer to notify you
- Perfect if you multitask while using SL and want to her if someone calls you
- Works even if someone says it with the wrong upper case letters
- Change the name to detect as many times as you wish
Great idea
I like this idea, but the SL and FS viewers (at least) have this built in. What they don't have, and what you could provide, is a tool that can alert on a number of different names, and play a unique sound for each. That would be very useful IMHO
