Pan's Direct25 Shop Teleporter - Copy version Version 1.1

This is a Teleporter suitable for use as a Shop Directory, for shops within the same sim.

It uses a Sit Target to simulate a Teleport, so destinations must be within 300m of the board in any direction - a sim is only 256m x 256m, so all points within a sim will be accessible... +/- 300m in height.

Not suitable for Shop Textures that use transparency - if this is likely to be a problem, consider using instead a Pan's "Direct Shop Teleporter" that is less than 5 panels wide - e.g. Pan's Direct20 Shop Teleporter.

Requirements
------------------

One texture and one Landmark per entry, with optional notecards

The directory uses a simple index for landmarks and textures, assuming for example that the 7th texture will correspond to the 7th landmark as they appear in its contents.

So set of items doesn't need to be consecutive, but they do need to appear in the same (alphanumeric) order.

Using a consistent naming regime will ensure that this happens ... e.g. texture named 'Pan's Shop', and landmark named 'Pan's Shop, Kochoomo (232, 54, 43)'

1. LANDMARKS - should retain their sim coordinates as the last item in brackets in the name- e.g. (50, 220, 104). If any coordinate is more than 300m away from the location of the Teleporter Board, then it will not attempt to teleport to that place.

2. TEXTURES - should have have no transparency, because of the shape of the prims to make the display. If this is likely to be a problem, consider using a Pan's Direct Shop Teleporter with fewer panels instead.

The aspect ratio for square textures is 1:1, such as 128x128, 256x256 or 512x512.
The aspect ratio for wide images is 2:1, such as 256x128, or 512x256

Remember, although larger images might give a better resolution, there is an advantage in having smaller file sizes so they rez more quickly.

3. NOTECARDS - can be included, in which case they must be given the SAME NAME AS THE TEXTURE, but with ' Notes' added to the end of the name.

So a set of items for a shop, i.e. LM, texture and Notecard, might be named like this:
Pan's Shop, Kochoomo (232, 54, 43)
Pan's Shop
Pan's Shop Notes

CHECK: When you add items to the Shop Directory Teleporter, always do a quick check to make sure they fall into the correct order of items in the contents.

Owner Options
------------------

Access Owner Options by clicking the upper half of the Top Panel

This will tell you the total number of clicks on the Display, and the total number of TPs that have taken place.

** Reset Clicks - use this to reset the Click Counter

** ResetTPs - use this to reset the Teleports Counter

1. ResetBoard - use this to reset the display if you remove items, not by deleting, but by dragging into inventory. (SL can automatically detect the first, but not the second)

2. Change to Square/Wide panels - change the aspect ratio of the display panels from 1:1 (square) to 2:1(wide), or vice versa.

3. Check for Updates - if one is available, it will be sent to you.
