============================================
ADVICE: PLEASE TRY INWORLD BEFORE PURCHASE
============================================

Make off-sim waters alive with this handy little add-on! You can move around easily and sim barries won't limit you anymore, you can go up to 700m distance (depends on sim type, see point 4 and illustration for restrictions).

Includes optional temp rezzer. Setting your color palette has never been easier.

WARNING: this is not a wearable! You have to rez it on your land, so you and your visitors can use. When sitting, the floaters will ask for attach permission, this is necessary to grant.

You'll only gain access to off-sim territories, not restricted areas.

Contains basic movement animations, no couple poses.

User manual:

1. REQUIREMENTS:
==================
• Land with water or directly neighboring an off-sim area (see point 4)
• Rez rights on your land (no ownership required)
• 4-5 LI rez allowance (temp rezzer version)
• Textures, transparency and shiny surface is best viewed with Advanced Lightning Model enabled in your viewer

2. INSTALLATION
==================

You have two options, in both case, rez the object ABOVE WATER.

Rezzing static floaters:
• They can be used multiple times
• They return to the original rez position and keep their color (you can change color with edit functions)
• Land impact: 2LI / floater

Using the temp rezzer:
• It will rez temp floaters all the time
• Colors are defined by the colors of the rezzer
• Land impact is 1 plus twice the number of floaters
• They are physical, interacts with avatars and each other

SETTING UP THE REZZER:
• rez it on water
• set colors on its sides to your desired color pattern
• click to activate/deactivate
• you can change rez rate if you want to see less or more floaters at a given time. use chat commands "rezmore", "rezless", "rezdefault"
• all these functions work only for the owner

FINDING A REZZER:
• when active, rezzer is transparent, can be hard to find.
• press Ctrl+Alt+T to make transparent objects visible.
• alternatively, search for "Highlight Transparent" function in the menu
• on your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+D or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D. On a Mac, press Option+Control+D.
• in the advanced menu, find "Highlight and Visibility" -> "Highlight Transparent"

3. USE
======

• To use, simply click (sit) on a floater, and give it attachment permission
• Use arrow keys move and turn
• PgUp and PgDn to adjust height if needed
• Standing up will eject you to the nearest in-sim area
• Movement is animated, but unfortunately with the off-sim enabled technology, other custom animations are not possible

4. ACCESSIBLE AREA BASED ON SIM LOCATION
==============================

Standalone sim with no neighbours:
• water territories of your sim
• all off-sim area up to 700m distance

Sim with some neighbours:
• water territories of your sim (neighbouring sims can't be accessed)
• off-sim areas in 256m distance from border

Landlocked sim:
• water territories of your sim (neighbouring sims can't be accessed)

Float level is always water level, this can't be changed.

5. NOTES
=========

LIMITATIONS: - You'll need to rez the object to use. This is not a HUD or attachment!
- Works only with real SL water, and only at water level.
- SL Collision and physics only partially apply: real ground stops the swimmer, but you cannot limit swim area by other objects.

FUTURE FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT GUARANTEED. Linden Labs and Viewers might set limitations to the functions that make the InfinitySwim engine currently functional. If you experience loss of functionality that previously worked, please contact the creator about possible updates. Please try inworld before purchase.

CONTAINS TEMP REZZER Please be considerate about the number of rezzers, unfortunately mesh object have a LI even when temp rezzed, therefore they raise your prim count.

I have the swimmer and the jetski as well,both work great.The floater is a nice, relaxed way to hang out and enjoy the water if you have a parcel next to water that you normally can't access. I like to use the rezzer option so that anyone that stops by at my land can hop on and there will always be enough tubes for everyone.I also like that the rezzer and rezzed tubes count for one. You can also use single/static tubes instead if you want. To save you the horror and confusion i had at first when I saw that you have to rezz it on water, just terraform some of your parcel along the water, until water appears and then you can rezz the static individual tubes or the rezzer prim over that water. Sit on the tube,and you can paddle your way out into waters that were denied to you before. This product is well-named, as it gives you the freedom to leave your parcel and get out on the ocean. I like this and the jetski is awesome. I would love a boat version too.

I have been in SL a bit more than 14 years. This is the first product I have seen to allows you to use the water off of your sim. This is an awesome step in the right direction it works Flawlessly. I fully understand it is Beta. But I see a lot of uses for this type of tech in SL from Boats to windsurfing and more. Awesome Job keep up the great work.
