This teleport directory displays a visual selection of teleport locations within a region, nine per page, with multiple pages if needed. An avatar just needs to click once on an image to instantly teleport (by auto-sitting on the link directly). If there's more than nine teleport destinations configured, arrow buttons appear so that the next or previous page/set of teleports can be displayed.

Two versions are included, a free-standing unit and a wall-mount. (9 LI each).

The directory system has two modes, stand-alone (default setting) or networked, which each rezzed directory can be freely switched between - meaning you can have some networked and some individually configured. Networked mode is completely optional.

In stand-alone mode, a directory displays teleports configured from a notecard inside the directory. In networked mode, the directory retrieves the teleport destinations from a notecard of the same format configured inside the included networking controller object. Networked mode allows you to update all rezzed directories that are in networked mode from a single notecard in the controller object.

The configuration notecard merely needs you to paste in a texture UUID, and a SLurl for each destination, one set per line separated by a comma, and is the same format for both non-networked directories and the controller object.

The directory also has an option to not display teleports within a set radius of itself, so that if you have several set up in different areas, they do not show a link back to their own location. (off by default)

This device is not required to be part of an SL "experience", it can be used by anyone on any land, it is a standard public teleport for destinations within the region it is placed, for any avatar to use. (it cannot teleport to other regions)

This nine-destination teleport directory comes with two versions, a free-standing sign-style, elevated on posts, and a wall-mount version without posts, both nine land impact each.

It has Copy and Modify permissions which allow manual resizing (and manual color tinting of the directory parts), as well as access to the teleport configuration notecard, though the included scripts are Copy only.

NOTE/REQUIREMENT: It does require you to use texture files that you have full permissions for so the objects can read, transmit and apply the textures! The teleport SLurls must be in the same region as the directory, or they will not show up.

The memory can store up to a couple hundred destinations, but is really designed for a few dozen maximum, which should be enough for a single region. The configuration notecard will take some time to load beyond that.

Test it out and examine it in my shop where it is in use! It was designed for my store, to show several different publicly-accessible locations.
