<TA>Parcel Visitor Profile Displayer Version 2.0

<TA> Parcel Visitor Profile Displayer V 2.0

The parcel visitor profile displayer will randomly select a visitor to a parcel and display their profile picture! Works on any parcel where it is rezzed; you don't have to own the land..

Numerous modifications possible, none needed!

CHANGED IN V 2.0: Commented out code that reports to owner when a visitor doesn't have a profile picture.

Included:

3 sizes of the <TA> Displayer: (all in a 4:3 aspect ratio matching profile pictures).

4 X 3
3 X 2.25
2 X 1.5

Features:

• Automatically rotates profile pictures of anyone on parcel.
• Changes images faster when crowd is larger. (Customizable times and numbers.)

NOTE: If a visitor by chance does not have a profile picture set, the owner might receive a script error notification.

=== QUICK START ===

Rez the size desired.

Default settings are:

Small crowd rotation rate: 20 seconds
Large crowd: 15 or more
Large crowd rotation rate: 15 seconds

Displayer will start working when rezzed.

=== Change the default settings =====

1. Rez the <TA> Displayer.

2. Select it for editing.

3. Select in the edit interface the "Edit Linked" option

4. Click on the main prim (that is showing profile pictures) and go to "Contents" tab.

5. Open the script

6. The numbers you need to change are at the top.

............... CODE PREVIEW ..................

// Set the following line to the period of time between picture changes when crowd is smaller than "crowdSize"
float normalGap = 20.0;

// Set the following line to the period of time between picture changes when crowd is bigger than "crowdSize"
float crowdGap = 10.0;

//And set what you think is a switch threshold…
integer crowdSize = 15;

..........................

7. Save changes. Hit the script reset button.

=== Remove the message overlay =====

1. Rez the <TA> Displayer. (Just to play it safe, make sure that you have a copy still in your inventory!

2. Select it for editing.

3. Unlink the 2 prims (Main and Overlay)

4. Select the small overlay prim. Delete it.

=== Change the Overlay Messages =====

1. Rez the <TA> Displayer.

2. Select it for editing.

=== Change the Size =====

Well… tread carefully! This can be annoying!

1. Rez the <TA> Displayer.

2. Select it for editing.

3. Select in the edit interface the "Edit Linked" option.

4. Select the prim you want to resize. (You'll need to resize them independently for best, most versatile results.)

5. Go to the "Object" tab of the edit interface.

6. Change the X and Z size parameters. If editing the profile picture displayer, it is best to keep a 4:3 aspect ratio. Some versions of that are listed below.

7. After changing the size, you almost surely will need to go to the "Texture" tab of the edit interface.

8. Assure that "Horizontal scale" and "Vertical scale" are 1.0.

NOTE: After resizing either the Main or Overlay prim, you probably need to adjust the position of the overlay prim.

8a. Assure that you have in the edit interface the "Edit Linked" option.

8b. Select the small Overlay prim.

8c. Adjust the x and z positions.
