The Pedlar's Operating System - Residential Version

The elements of this system (if they are all installed) are as follows -
- Door System
- Window System
- Light System
- Texture System
- Control Panel
- Height Plugin
- API Plugin
The MAIN MENU on the control panel will show buttons for all the plugins that are installed. It shows additional options for the owner and also allows you to LOCK the system.
LOCK -Any user that has access permission to use the operating system can lock and unlock the system.
THE OPTIONS MENU
The owner has an "Option" button on his menu. The Option Menu buttons are "Help", "Reset", "Reset All", "AccessList", "Faces", “Channel" and also "Height", “Window Color” and/or "Tex_Gen" if they are installed.
The access_list_and_settings notecard allows you to nominate the notecard you wish to give to people.
FACES will show the face number of any face touched (in the chat log), so that you can see what number each face is to check orientation and/or assign the ones you want to the Settings Notecard (in the windows for example).
HEIGHT is a plugin. It is ideal for things like skyboxes. It will move the control panel and any other prims linked to it, to a specified height. When it arrives at the new height, it will alert you in the chat log and offer you a link to teleport to it.
TEX_GEN is a part of the Texture Plugin. If it is installed this is what you use to get a list of all the different parameters on each prim. You put the list (aka Texture Set), which is shown in the chat dialogue in a notecard in the prim.
API Plugin is the foundation code to add your own functions to the Operating System. I used it for example to make a safety rail plugin for a skybox.
WINDOW SYSTEM
Touch the Control Panel to get a menu, select WINDOWS which then offers the options "open, shaded, closed and one-way". The window system can do a lot more than that though. For example you might wish to use different textures, colours or transparencies (tint). One of the advantages of this is to have the window frame as part of the texture, which in some cases would save on prims.
Included in this package are some mesh windows (0.5LI) and some window textures.
DOORS
These doors are single prims. The sliding door will adjust how much it slides when you resize it. The swinging doors can be adjusted to which way to swing, where the hinge is, how much to open and more. You can also turn the auto-open sensors on or off in the control panel.
Door Localized ACCESS LIST: In the inventory of the door system is a notecard called "access_list_and_settings". You can use the door access notecard to allow certain people access to that particular door. (So the control panel access list is ‘Global’ and the door access list is ‘Local’.The door system will always allow the owner and people on the list to use it.
SOUNDS: There are 2 sounds associated with the door/s. You can replace these sound files with your own.
The door system includes some pre made mesh doors and textures.

LIGHT SYSTEM
This Light System is designed for ease of use while still giving you powerful features
These features include:
* control lights from the control panel;
* control who can use the system & lock the system
* control several lighting sources and their different elements including
- intensity
- radius
- fall off
- color
- light
- and even flame (for small lamps, candles, gas lanterns etc).

included are some mesh (0.5LI) and pre made/set up lights prims. We even threw in a fireplace scripted to integrate with the light system.

TEXTURE SYSTEM
This menu allows the owner to re texture the walls with up to 9 different texture sets. With the built-in texture generator (Tex_Gen) you can record the settings however you want them and copy the chat log readout into a notecard for that setting. The texture generator will record and set almost any parameter you want including;
color,
texture,
texture offset;
texture rotation,
texture scale,
alpha (transparency),
fullbright,
glow
bumps (materials)
shiny

on each and every single face of the prim/mesh !!

There is a video below to watch explaining the texture sets. I will make another one as soon as I get the chance, which runs through the other elements in the operating system as well.
