The Bright Rental Timer allows you to offer short-term, private use of areas on your land to your visitors.

Just rez a timer in each area, and set the range to be kept private: or use region coordinates to describe a "boxed" area. Set the rent (if any) and the period (eg. every 30 minutes). If the rental is paid, determine the 'preview time' tenants have to make up their mind. If it is free, set the minimum gap between visits (if any), and whether the area should revert to vacant if the renter leaves early.

Then rez ad-boards anywhere in the region, linking each to a timer. They will show "VACANT" or "OCCUPIED", and if vacant, will offer to teleport visitors who click them.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL RENTAL SYSTEM. It is designed for short stays - with or without charge - of minutes or hours rather than days or weeks: in hotel rooms, changing rooms, adult play areas, private gaming areas, and so forth. For longer rentals, use the Bright Rental System.

EXAMPLE USE

Buck Cherry runs "Blueberry Hill", a 50s music club. In addition to the Wurlitzer Jukebox and sprung wooden dance floor, he wishes to offer private rooms, which couples may rent for an hour (or a few) to enjoy each other's company after an evening's jiving.

He puts a timer in each room, and corresponding ad-board on the wall by the dance floor.

Visitor Sally LongTall clicks a "VACANT" ad-board. She is told the room costs L$10/hour, and accepts an offer to see it. The ad-board switches to "OCCUPIED".

On arrival, Sally is given five minutes 'preview' time - to rent or leave. If she does neither, she will be teleported away, and the ad-board will revert to "VACANT". But she pulls L$10 from her beehive hair, drops it in the timer, and sits on the bed to brighten her lipstick.

Meanwhile, Domino Fats is sneaking around, poking his quiff where it shouldn't be. He finds Sally's room. The timer tells him: "This is a private area: please leave." He doesn't. After a few seconds, the timer ejects him, and he lands head-first in the jukebox, seriously damaging his hairstyle. (We would teleport Domino away instantly, but SL "Terms of Service" insist on a warning.)

Sally is ready for company: just not Domino's. She clicks the timer, selects "ALLOW ENTRY", and sends a teleport offer to the dreamy Jonny Begood. Once he is there, she clicks the timer again and selects "FORBID ENTRY". Jonny gets to stay, but the timer will eject any new visitors.

As Sally and Jonny hug, she treads on his blue suede shoes. He is furious: they argue. Sally wants to be alone, clicks the timer, selects "Eject guest", and chooses Jonny's name from a menu. The timer asks him to leave. Rather than be ejected, he teleports off in a Brylcream-covered huff.

The hour is nearly up. Sally is asked if she wishes to pay for more time. She leaves: the evening hasn't gone well. Down in the club, Jonny is dancing with PeggySue Holly. He sees the ad-board is "VACANT", decides on some quality time with a girl who respects his footwear, and clicks the ad-board...

Simply the best

This system is simply the best, buy it. I have been in SL for 9 years owning multiple rental sims and have used every system out there, you will not be sorry for buying this. I had issues setting it up and Shan Bright was quick to help with patience and humor at some of my noob mistakes. I highly recommend this system.

This Item was wonderful! I had a problem and the maker of the item came out to help me and did not even charge! She spent almost an hour helping me with my land settings and I find this item to be wonderful- does what it says it will do.

Great product, terrible company
full star empty star empty star empty star empty star Posted October 06, 2012 by Cherry Amore

I bought this rental timer and it works well as communicated in the description. There are two details that were not outlined in the description. 1) There is no Whitelist exempting specific avatars from ejection (besides the owner), and 2) the preview time is limited. In the instructions, it states 5 minute, and in product received, 3 minutes. I needed a Whitelist, so I contacted the creator to get a modification. I was charged L$20,000 for this modification. (That's about $80 US). Against my better judgement, I paid that exorbitant amount for a script modification. During my initial use of the product, I found my application required a shorter preview. The minimum is 3 minutes, and I wanted it shortened to 1 minute. A simple script change to make a variable from a "1" into a "3". The creator wanted an additional L$6000 to make a one digit variable change. In retrospect I could have had a script writer make the script from scratch for less than the total of L$27200 that these (you-fill-in-the-blank) people wanted. So please take note, the scripts are NO MODIFY. Again, great product but a very non-customer oriented company

Great timer for free bookings/rentals

Easy to setup, easy to customise, great service. Excellent tool if you're looking for something to book spaces for visitors (limiting incoming avis after others arrive), either free or paid. Not prim heavy and easy to change the look. I've tried a number of other free renting tools, none have been worth a penny. This one rocks.
