TPSign is a teleport device, working grid-wide by using the RLV technology. TPSign was once developed as a RLV teleporter. Now, in the version 2, it was migrated to RTS technology. RTS is a shorthand for 'RLV Teleporter System'. It is a framework for building of RLV teleporters. RTS offers this way a number of features to TPSign.
Why is TPSign different
TPSign is a grid-wide teleporter, It acheives any location that one can visit via a landmark. The avatar is not moved physically, the teleport not fails if the target location is on different sim or continent. TPSign also doesn’t open the map window, like map teleporters do. instead, TPSign passes over the target coordinate to the viewer, enforcing the immediate teleport.
Basically, RLV teleporters require the viewer to support a special RLV interface to pass over the target coordinate. TPSign works this way, too. But since not every viewer suports the interface, TPSign works also without it: TPSign allows to switch the RLV support off and turns than to an usual landmark giver.
Also the supplied TP Relay turns any RLV teleporter (also TPSign with active RLV support) into a map teleporter. This allows to use RLV teleporters, TPSign and every map teleporter on same way and with any viewer. For this reason TPSign passes this relay over to users not running RLV.
Audience
Who is TPSign designed for? Well, it allows to jump over to places on the same sim, like a skybox, club or another floor in the house. This are local teleports, and there are also simplier and lighter solutions to acheive that goals.
But if the task is to make any place on the grid accessible by a single click. If in needs of a teleport device for favorite locations or a network of partner teleporters is planned, no matter if the sims are connected or spread over the whole grid, then is TPSign one of devices of choice.
RTS was designed for managing multiple teleport destinations. For traditional reasons, TPSign is a single-target device. But with a little effort, one can extend it by multi-target ability. The package supplies a step-by-step tutorial about how to do this, and also the rebuilt teleporter: TPVendor is a RTS Teleporter which manages up to 80 destinations.
Package content
This files will you find in the package folder after unpacking:
* Teleporter TPSign and TPVendor, ready to use
* TPSign and RTS user manuals
* Product poster and LM to the main store
* KeyHolder for manual update and redelivery
Unpacking and Update
The product box is equiped by a script which is used to unpack and update the package. To do so, simply drop the box or wear it. In the opened menu hit the 'Open' button to unpack it or 'Update' button to request the update or redelivery manually. While unpacking works on any place with allowed scripts, for update and manual redelivery, you must be in one of JFS stores with an installed UpdateOrb.
TPSign is also inside a wending network which alows automatical updates: As soon a new version is out, the supplier of the old package will receive the new version. The manual update and redelivery is in support for traditional reasons and as back-up for cases the autoupdate fails.
