Roman Fasces

As a proud bearer of the Fasces, let me impart unto you some history as well as the information you need to bear this symbol with pride. So that you can get to the help part first ... the history lesson is at the end of this missive.

<<<<<<<< UPDATES ON THIS PRODUCT ARE FREE AND AUTOMATIC >>>>>>>>>

Ok ... to use the fasces just wear it BUT due to avatar scaling the fasces may not end up in the right location. So included are is a procedure for adjusting how you wear the fasces for just the right look.

To use it just wear the fasces in your right hand and turn off your animation override. Below are the commands for the item:

Commands:
/10 help - Gives this note card
/10 reset - Resets the faces script and re-reads the Fasces configuration note card
/10 locate - gives the rotation and the positionof the fasces relative to your body this will be in the format
<rotation>|<position> example: <-0.62499, 0.39113, 0.49445, 0.46035>|<0.54496, 0.70608, -0.34648>
/10 blade - toggles the visibility of the fasces blade
/10 right - poses with the fasces over the right shoulder
/10 preset - poses with the fasces in the present arms stance
/10 left - poses with the fasces over the left shoulder
/10 detach - puts the fasces away

Any of these commands will control ALL the Fasces in the area ...so that your unit can pose in sync!

As I mentioned above, the fasces comes with 3 poses ... right shoulder (over right shoulder), present (held in both hands in
front of you), and left shoulder (held over left shoulder). Because of variations in avatar size ... you may ... or better yet WILL
have to adjust the fit so it is heald correctly in all 3 poses. These adjustments are made by editing the "facesConfig" note card
in your fasces. To help you with the alignment your boxed fasces came with 3 pictures showing hoe to wear the fasces.

Adjusting the position of the faces:
This is a bit tricky ... but once you do it ... you should not have to do it again.
1 Save a copy of your fasces
2 Wear the faces.
3 enter the pose to adjust (/10 right, /10 Present, /10 left).
4 Then Edit the fasces (while worn) adjusting the position and the rotation untill you have it just right
(using the postion and rotate in the edit dialog).
5 enter /10 locate. Cut (select and ctrl C) the position as displayed in chat.
6 go to contents and open up the FascesConfig note card.
7 paste the position information into the note card and then replace the rotation and the position numbers for the
pose (RTShoulder, Leftarm, or Present) with the ones just pasted in. Note DONOT copy the "<", ">", or "|". Just the numbers.
Example:
from chat --> Fasces V2.3: Position <rot>|<pos>: <-0.62499, 0.39113, 0.49445, 0.46035>|<0.54496, 0.70608, -0.34648>
in notecard --> RTShoulder=-0.30162, 0.21787, -0.91843, 0.13431|0.34458, 0.51704, -0.04401

The first set of numbers between the "<>" is the rotation. Copy that to the LEFT side of the "|".
The second set of numbers between the "<>" is the postion. Copy that to the RIGHT side of the "|".

So the notecard entry is now:
RTShoulder=-0.62499, 0.39113, 0.49445, 0.46035|0.54496, 0.70608, -0.34648
8 save
9 exit edit
10 enter /10 reset
11 test
12 Repeat steps 3 through 11 untill you are sick and tired of it or every thing is just perfect.
