The purpose of the Slideshow script is to display different images on several faces of an
object. The object can consist of multiple prims as well. The images can be changed by
clicking or sliding them to the left and the right for getting the next or the previous
image. Alternatively, faces can be defined that load the next or previous image(s) or
open a menu when clicked on. An automatic timer can be set as well. You can also select
between different transition and fading effects. For faster loading, images can optionally
be preloaded on a configurable (hidden) face and you can define a larger face that shows
the image you clicked on, e.g on various smaller faces.

Config notecards containing the word "Slideshow" in the object are added to the menu and
the first one is read and all parameters and images are taken from there. Otherwise you
are asked to touch the faces for displaying and preloading the images which must all be
in the object's inventory in that case. Operation modes can be set in the notecard or in
the object description, so they also work without notecards. From the menu, you can load
various image sets (notecards) and change options, so you can display different images
with different effects without having to replace the picture frame.

Detailed configuration options:

- access level owner, group, friends or all
- the face the images should be displayed (usually first face in config notecard is used)
- the face used to preload images on a hidden face
- the face used to open the menu to select image sets and options
- the face used to display the image that was clicked on as larger image (display face)
- the control faces (buttons) for going to the next or previous image(s)
- auto timers in seconds (selectable by menu)
- direction of image transitions: next, previous, random or current image on display face
- touch mode: off, next image on click, slide left and right, display larger on display face
- transition mode: only one image, all at same time, one after another or all out, then all in
- fading mode: off, random, duplex, fade to black/transparent/(darker) color, glowing effect,
scale up, scale up/down around the center, rotate, slide left/right or combinations
(scaling, rotating and sliding only work well with single or serialized transition modes)
- random chooses from all useful fading modes, including sensible combinations
- duplex allows changing direction halfway for scaling, rotating and sliding
- default access level, fading color and auto timers in script
- color fading respects original face color now
- use numbers or symbolic names for modes
- use prim names or link numbers, faces can also be specified in prims' description

Reading the config notecard requires the Config Handler script which is only included
in the Slideshow Advanced bundle or can be bought separately. The Slideshow script also
works without it, but you won't be able to use more than one face for displaying the
images. Both scripts also work with the Shuggles Picture Frames, and another bundle
called Slideshow Frames is available, too. Please note that you need at least Config
Handler v0.58 to work with Slideshow v0.58 and above. Starting with Config Handler v0.61,
notecard reading is much faster now. You can later upgrade to the Advanced variant for
a reduced price using the included Updater.

The Slideshow script and the optional Config Handler script are full perm, so they can be
adapted to your needs and requirements. They're licensed under the BSD license with the
addition that they must not be resold or otherwise given away standalone in parts or as
whole. They can be used in your creations as long as these license conditions are met.
Please use the original scripts, keeping script name and creator intact, and remember to
change script permissions to copy or transfer only before you put your products on sale.

To update or redeliver a product, wear the included Updater and follow the instructions.
Store policies and info about custom scripting at my MP store and the inworld terminals.
