7.1 - Making a home
Now we have animals, plants and electricity, perhaps we should set up somewhere to live where we can cook, wash, rest and generally do all the things the HUD (in health mode) requires us to do!
In the Household platform (box 8) you will find various items that you can use to help set up your home and look after your health and well-being. Also you will find some home cooking items in the Food and drink platform (box 7)
7.2 - Surfaces
Most food items that you make are set to look for a ‘surface’ to go to. If you make something in the oven or hob etc., when it is complete it will look for the surface called SF Table and if it finds one in range (approx 20m radius) it will automatically set itself there (and the table cloth will appear!)
Surfaces allow you to place items ready for use – in the case of the table you can sit on a chair (which will increase your energy level) and then use the food item to decrease your hunger/thirst etc. Although you are sort of storing an item on a surface, unlike being in storage, items on surfaces will still age. Items that contain the surface feature may have more than one ‘surface’ – the table is an example of that as it can hold up to four items.
For more information on using and customising surfaces, refer to Chapter 13
7.3 - Change the SF Dresser mirror reflection
When you use the SF Dresser, a ‘reflection’ image is shown on the mirror. This is just a projected image and you can change it as follows:
First you will need to click on the dresser, select Do... and select one of the task options (e.g. Makeup) and add required items - this will then show the reflection. Don’t sit but instead right click the dresser and select Edit
Now you are in edit mode, click on the Features tab then click on the Edit linked option to select it.
Now left click on the invisible prim to select .
If you have selected the correct prim you will see there is now an image showing and also the Light option is selected.
You can now left click on the image and the texture picker window will show to allow you select the image you wish to use.
Select your image and then close the edit window by clicking the top right X button.
Now sit on the dresser to complete the task.
Once the task is complete the mirror will go back to the blank screen but in future will use your new image each time you do a task on it.
7.4 - Add Health Mode to your furniture
As well as all the items available in the Quintopia boxes, it is also possible for you to add health mode support to any items of furniture etc. that you already have.
In the household platform (box 8) there are 4 kits that you can use covering the common systems of PMAC, MLP, sit scripts and also a ‘cover’ that you can place over any bed.
Converted items will send a progress message to the HUD display during use and then send the configured ‘health’ values at the end of the set time period.
(a) Config notecard
The configuration is the same for all of the kits:
# # All the following are optional overrides to the default values of: # TIME=120 # HYGIENE=99 # HEALTH=30 # BLADDER=50 # ENERGY=30 # AUTO_END=1 # How many seconds to run the action TIME=120 # # How much to change well-being when time is up (can be positive, negative or zero) HYGIENE=99 HEALTH=30 BLADDER=0 ENERGY=30 # # Set to 1 for actions to end when times up, or 0 to have the avatar repeat cycle until stopped by manually selecting to stand AUTO_END=1
The default values in the initial comments will be used unless overridden in the notecard, so you only need specify those that you wish to have a different value from the default.
If AUTO_END is set to 1 then you will automatically stand at the end of the specified time interval. If you set it to 0 then you will remain seated and the values for health, hygiene etc. will be sent to your HUD after every time interval. You manually select Stand to end the actions.
(b) PMAC Addon kit
This kit allows you to add the health mode functions to anything that uses the PMAC (Paramour Multi-Animation Controller) system. It consists of the script addon-pmac_health and the config notecard and also a notecard called sfp
You place these items into your PMAC furniture in the following order:
-
Add the notecard sfp to the main prim of your furniture
-
Add the notecard config to the main prim of your furniture
-
Edit the config notecard if you wish to change any settings
-
Add the script addon-pmac_health to the main prim of your furniture
If you see a 'bad password' message, re-set all scripts.
Your PMAC furniture should now operate as it did before, but when people are ‘seated’ their HUD will receive the health values as configured.
Information on the PMAC system can be found online at https://github.com/uriesk/pmac
(c) MLP Addon kit
This kit allows you to add the health mode functions to anything that uses the MLP (Multi Love Pose ) system. It consists of the script addon-mlp_health and the config notecard and also a notecard called sfp
You place these items into your MLP furniture in the following order:
-
Add the notecard sfp to the main prim of your furniture
-
Add the notecard config to the main prim of your furniture
-
Edit the config notecard if you wish to change any settings
-
Add the script addon-mlp_health to the main prim of your furniture
If you see a 'bad password' message, re-set all scripts.
Your MLP furniture should now operate as it did before, but when people are ‘seated’ their HUD will receive the health values as configured.
Information on the PMAC system can be found online at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/MLPV2_Tutorial
(d) Sit/Poseball Addon kit
This kit allows you to add the health mode functions to anything that uses one or more sit scripts (sit target). It consists of the script addon-sit_health and the config notecard and also a notecard called sfp
You place these items into your MLP furniture in the following order:
-
Add the notecard sfp to the main prim of your furniture
-
Add the notecard config to the main prim of your furniture
-
Edit the config notecard if you wish to change any settings
-
Add the script addon-sit_health to the main prim of your furniture
If you see a 'bad password' message, re-set all scripts.
Your furniture should now operate as it did before, but when people are ‘seated’ their HUD will receive the health values as configured.
Information on the sit target system can be found online at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSitTarget
(e) SF Bed (cover)
This is just a flat prim that contains all the functionality expected of a bed. Just position it over your bed to use. You can set it to transparent and phantom.
The cover uses the MLP system so you can edit the config notecard etc. As per the MLP instructions.
7.5 Cleaning, Cooking, Relaxing
By now you have probably noticed that the HUD, when in health mode, requires you to wash, visit the lavatory, eat, drink etc
A good way to make sure you can keep healthy is to set up your house with the areas/rooms such as:
(a) Kitchen
Great items here are cooker, hob, fridge, storage, table and chairs etc. Make sure to have the table within a 20m radius of where you prepare food so that the finished items will automatically go to the table.
(b) Bathroom
You can wash with the sink, shower or bathtub. A lavatory is also a welcome addition unless you prefer an outdoor privy!
(c) Living room
Somewhere to just sit and relax is a great idea. When your energy is low, just sit on a chair to let it build back up again. Lighting a fire also adds to your well-being. Some people like to put a few crafting items here as well.
(d) Bedroom
Somewhere to sleep and recharge your energy and a place perhaps to store pillows, duvets and the like. And if you are not in a G rated region, perhaps a place for a bit of woohoo!

13.1 ENTWICKELN SIE IHRE EIGENEN ARTIKEL
Eine der großartigen Eigenschaften des "SatyrFarm"-Systems ist, dass es vollständig quelloffen ist und so konzipiert wurde, dass es leicht erweitert und angepasst werden kann. Der Rest dieses Leitfadens befasst sich damit, wie man bestehende Gegenstände anpasst und eigene neue Gegenstände erstellt. Wir sind immer bestrebt, der ständig wachsenden VivoSim-Version des Systems neue Gegenstände hinzuzufügen, also seien Sie nicht schüchtern, wenn Sie etwas Neues schaffen, teilen Sie es mit uns!
Wahrscheinlich ist es am einfachsten, mit der Änderung bestehender Elemente zu beginnen, aber es steht Ihnen frei, die Skripte in anderen Elementen zu verwenden. Wir empfehlen Ihnen jedoch, die neuesten Skripte aus dem VivoSim-Repository unter https://github.com/punyauk/VivoSim zu verwenden, insbesondere wenn Sie sie weitergeben möchten. Sie sollten auch sicherstellen, dass jedes Element und alle Elemente, die es in seinem Inventar rekursiv enthält, vollständig perm sein müssen, da Ihr Produkt sonst für andere Benutzer nicht funktioniert.
13.2 LAGERUNG
(b) Die Schaltfläche "Neuer Bestand
Mit dieser Schaltfläche können Sie nach Produkten in der Nähe suchen und dann versuchen, sie dem Lager hinzuzufügen. Dies geschieht, indem das Lager andere Lagerorte überprüft, bei denen der Freigabemodus aktiviert ist (Standardeinstellung), und indem es auch alle Tauscheinheiten in der Region überprüft. Wenn das Produkt an einem dieser Orte gefunden wird, wird es zu dieser Lagereinheit hinzugefügt. Dies ist eine einfache Möglichkeit, den Inhalt einer Lagereinheit zu ändern, aber es können nur Produkte hinzugefügt werden, die bereits an anderer Stelle in der Region vorhanden sind.
Beachten Sie, dass der Artikel ein P; am Anfang der Beschreibung haben muss, damit er als Produkt erkannt wird. Dies ist der normale Zustand für jedes Produkt, das aus einer Maschine, einem Werk usw. entnommen wurde. Wenn es sich jedoch um einen neuen Artikel handelt, den Sie selbst hergestellt haben, setzen Sie die Beschreibung einfach auf P;
(b) Hinzufügen eines Produkts zum SF-Lagerfass
Die wahrscheinlich einfachste Art, ein neues Produkt zu lagern, ist, das bestehende SF-Lagerfass zu verändern. Sie können auch einige leere "Vorlagen"-Lagerboxen im Mintor-Shop abholen. Das Lagerskript konfiguriert sich automatisch für jedes Produkt in seinem Bestand. Wenn Sie also ein neues Produkt haben, legen Sie einfach eine Kopie in den SF Store.
Beispiel
Wir beginnen mit der Neukonfiguration eines der einfachen Lagerfässer. Klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste auf "Bearbeiten" und werfen Sie einen Blick auf die Registerkarte " Inhalt". Dort sehen Sie verschiedene Skripte und Notizkarten, die in Kapitel 14 näher erläutert werden.
Jetzt müssen wir nur noch unser Produkt aus dem Inventar in den Inhalt der Lagerfässer ziehen. Wir haben zum Beispiel einen Artikel mit Löwenzahnblüten, den wir einlagern wollen, also ziehen wir ihn aus unserem Inventar in den Bereich Inhalt.
Sobald Sie den Gegenstand gezogen haben, klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche Skripte zurücksetzen und Sie sollten sehen, dass Sie jetzt einen Lagerplatz für die Löwenzahnblütenblätter haben!
Neben der soeben erstellten Aufbewahrungsart für einen einzelnen Gegenstand können wir auch Aufbewahrungseinheiten erstellen, die mehrere Gegenstände aufnehmen. Es gibt zwei Arten, die wir erstellen können: Die erste zeigt die Ebenen für alle Gegenstände in einem Block mit fließendem Text an. Bei der zweiten Variante können wir mehrere Texte für jeden Artikel im Lager anzeigen.
Beginnen wir zunächst mit dem einzelnen Float-Text-Typ, da wir nur ein weiteres Produkt in den Inhalt unseres bestehenden Speichers ziehen müssen. Als Beispiel fügen wir dem Geschäft Gardenienblüten hinzu.
Klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste, wählen Sie "Bearbeiten" und gehen Sie erneut auf die Registerkarte "Inhalt", ziehen Sie den neuen Artikel hinein (in unserem Beispiel Gartenblumenblätter) und klicken Sie dann auf die Schaltfläche "Skripte zurücksetzen" und Sie werden sehen, dass wir jetzt einen Speicher für zwei Artikel haben.
Wir können dieser Art von Speicher so viele Artikel hinzufügen, wie wir wollen, aber wenn wir sehr viele hinzufügen, kann es natürlich schwierig sein, sie in einem großen Block von Fließtext zu lesen.
Wir können einen anderen Lagertyp verwenden, der es uns erlaubt, mehrere Puffertexte für jeden Artikel zu haben - Sie haben wahrscheinlich schon einige der Lagereinheiten gesehen, die dies tun, wie z. B. das SF Basic Storage und das SF Storage Rack.
Die Erstellung dieses Lagertyps erfolgt nach demselben Verfahren wie die bereits durchgeführten, allerdings mit einigen zusätzlichen Schritten.
Wir beginnen mit der SF-Storage-Vorlage , einem einfachen Würfel, den Sie als Ausgangspunkt für Ihre eigenen Entwürfe verwenden können, da es sich um ein leeres Lagersystem handelt, dem wir wie zuvor Produkte hinzufügen können. Für dieses Beispiel werden wir wieder die Blütenblätter von Löwenzahn und Gardenie verwenden, um zu sehen, wie sich dieses Lager im Vergleich zum vorherigen Typ verhält.
Die Gestaltung des Aufbewahrungssystems ist ganz Ihnen überlassen, aber in diesem Fall werden wir ein einfaches Regal bauen.
Zuerst flachen wir die Schachtel ab, um eine Plattformform zu erhalten, und ändern die Textur in ein verwittertes Holz.
Nun müssen wir ein Prim hinzufügen, das als Indikator für die Löwenzahnblüten dient, und ein weiteres Prim für die Gardenienblüten. Wir beginnen mit einem der SF Store Barrels, das ein Texturebene-Prim hat, aber Sie können jedes einzelne Prim verwenden, das zu Ihrem Design passt.
Dieses Store Barrel hat bereits alle Lagerkomponenten im Basis-Prim, aber da wir bereits eine Basis haben, die wir verwenden können, werden wir dieses Prim vom Barrel Store abkoppeln. Da wir Indikatoren für zwei Produkte benötigen, erstellen wir eine Kopie des Fasses und positionieren beide Fässer über unserer Lagerbasis.
Dann verknüpfen wir alle Komponenten und stellen sicher, dass die Basis das letzte Prim ist, das verknüpft wird (sie ist also das Root-Prim).
Nun müssen wir die beiden Prims einrichten, die unsere Level-Indikatoren sein werden. Wir stellen den Namen des Prims, das wir als Füllstandsanzeiger verwenden wollen, so ein, dass er mit dem Namen des Produkts übereinstimmt (abzüglich des SF-Teils), so dass wir in diesem Beispiel ein Prim mit dem Namen " Dandelion Petals" und das andere mit " Gardenia Petals" versehen.
Wie immer müssen Sie darauf achten, dass der Name und die Groß- und Kleinschreibung genau mit dem Produkt übereinstimmen - wenn wir zum Beispiel eines der Prims Löwenzahnblütenblätter nennen würden, würde es nicht funktionieren.
Jetzt müssen wir nur noch die SF Dandelion Petals und die SF Gardenia Petals zum Inhalt unserer neuen Lagereinheit hinzufügen. Sobald Sie das getan haben, sollten Sie die Füllstandsanzeigen für beide Produkte sehen.
Sie können dann die Texturen vom leeren Weiß in etwas ändern, das zu Ihrem Produkt passt.
Wenn wir noch einen Schritt weiter gehen wollen, können wir diese Lagereinheit so einrichten, dass sich die Indikator-Prims nach oben und unten bewegen, um die tatsächlichen Produktstände widerzuspiegeln. Dazu müssen wir einige Zahlen berechnen, die wir in die Indikator-Prims eingeben können Beschreibung
Notieren Sie sich zunächst die Position des Objekts - wir brauchen nur den Z-Wert
In unserem Fall ist es 20.64764
Als Nächstes notieren wir uns den Z-Wert des Indikator-Prims für die Anzeige von 0% und 100%
100% = 21.900
0% = 20.81450
Jetzt können wir die erforderlichen Werte für die Prim-Beschreibung ausrechnen
20.81450 - 20.64764 = 0.16686
21.900 - 20.64764 = 1.25236
Jetzt müssen wir also nur noch die Prim-Beschreibung auf 0,16686,1,25236 setzen.
Da wir nur an der Z-Bewegung interessiert sind, können wir die gleichen Werte für beide Prims verwenden.
Um zu überprüfen, ob alles funktioniert, editieren Sie die Config-Notecard und setzen Sie zunächst den Initiallevel auf 100%
ANFÄNGLICHE_EBENE=100
Speichern Sie die Notecard und setzen Sie die Skripte zurück. Nun sollten Sie die 100%-Anzeige sehen. Bearbeiten Sie nun die Karteikarte erneut und setzen Sie diesmal den Pegel auf 0%
INITIAL_LEVEL=0
Beim Zurücksetzen sollten Sie nun die 0%-Position erhalten.
Bearbeiten Sie die config notecard, um den Wert INITIAL_LEVEL auf den gewünschten Wert zu setzen (der Standardwert ist 4) und schon können Sie mit dem Speichern beginnen!
Benennen Sie Ihr Lager
Sie können Ihr neues Speicherelement nach Belieben umbenennen, z. B. SF Petal Store
Wenn Sie die Produkte in diesem Lager in Verbindung mit der AutoFeed-Option in den Tierfutterautomaten verwenden möchten, müssen Sie nur die Konfigurationskarte in diesen Automaten aktualisieren, damit sie denselben Namen erhalten. Wenn Sie den SF Updater-Storage verwenden, können Sie den Namen auch zur Notecard upgradeables hinzufügen.
Freigabe-Modus
Dadurch können andere Elemente, wie z. B. der Austausch, auf die Speichereinheit zugreifen und eine Kopie eines beliebigen Elements erstellen. Dies hat keine Auswirkungen auf den Speicherplatz. Auf diese Weise können z. B. Tauschbörsen ihr Angebot an Artikeln erweitern und neue Produkte aufnehmen.
Fließender Text
Standardmäßig zeigt ein Geschäft die Ebenen aller Produkte, die es enthält, als eine Fließtextliste an. Bei Geschäften mit vielen Artikeln kann dies etwas unübersichtlich werden, so dass Sie vielleicht zusätzliche verknüpfte Prims hinzufügen möchten, um den Status der einzelnen Produkte als fließenden Text anzuzeigen. Bei SF-Oliven z. B. wird das verknüpfte Prim mit dem Namen "Olives" verwendet, um den Text über den aktuellen Stand der SF-Oliven anzuzeigen. Beachten Sie, dass das Root-Prim weiterhin die Füllstände aller gespeicherten Produkte anzeigt, die kein eigenes benanntes Prim im Link-Set haben.
Dies ist eine rein ästhetische Angelegenheit, da in diesen zusätzlichen Prims nichts gespeichert ist.
Einstellungen für die Konfigurationsnotizkarte
Der wichtigste Punkt in der Konfigurationsnotizkarte, den Sie für Ihr neues Geschäft anpassen müssen, ist wahrscheinlich REZ_POSITION
# INITIAL_LEVEL=4 # # Wie viel wird bei der Benutzung entnommen/hinzugegeben ONE_PART=2 # # Wie viele Tage, bevor der Bestand um 1 Teil sinkt DROP_TIME=14 # # Wie viel kann das Lager maximal aufnehmen (100 gibt den Bestand in % an, größer als 100 gibt den Bestand als z.z.B. 25/110 ) MAX_FILL=100 # # ASC für aufsteigende Sortierung (A bis Z) oder DEC für absteigende Sortierung (Z bis A) SORTDIR=ASC # # Offset für Artikel REZ_POSITION=<0.0, 0.0, 1.5> # # Wie weit wird nach Artikeln gescannt SENSOR_DISTANCE=10 # # Regionale Produktfreigabe. Alle teilen mit allen, Gruppe nur mit derselben Gruppe, Keine keine gemeinsame Nutzung SHARE_MODE=All # # Auf 1 setzen, damit jedes Mitglied der Gruppe die Menüschaltfläche 'Lagerbestand hinzufügen' verwenden kann, 0, damit nur der Besitzer die Möglichkeit hat GROUP_STOCK_ADD=0 # #Float-Textfarbe - als Farbvektor einstellen oder OFF für keinen Float-Text verwenden TXT_COLOR=<1.0, 1.0, 1.0> # # Helligkeit des Textes 1 bis 10 (10 ist maximale Helligkeit) TXT_BRIGHT=10 # # Standardsprache LANG=de-GB # # Ändern Sie dies, wenn Ihre Produkte nicht mit 'SF' beginnen SF_PREFIX=SF

9.1 - Storage wells
We have used the SatyrFarm Well and also the SF Water tower – these are both examples of the ‘storage well’ system. Items in this system gradually fill up and store one specific product and as long as the level is greater than the ‘one part’ setting you can take some of the product. For the SatyrFarm well it was water but we also can get rennet from the SF Rennet Container, yeast from the SF Yeast Container and sea water from the SF Sea Water pump etc.
There are various configuration options to allow you to put some restrictions on the system by specifying how the item functions. For example you can set that it needs to be close to something in order for the level to increase. You can specify an actual item or set it that it needs to be at sea level – the SF Sea Water pump is an example of the latter. We can also specify what ‘energy’ drives it and we can specify wind (like the first water tower we used that require a wind pump near them), grid (like the example shown in the section on electricity for setting water towers to use the grid), or ‘self’ (such as the SatyrFarm well)
# Level to start at on rez/hard reset INITIAL_LEVEL=10 # # What liquid is this system for LIQUID=Water # # How much to increase/decrease level by for one 'serving' ONE_PART=2 # # How many days before level drops 1 part ('evaporation') DROP_TIME=2 # # Offset to rez water buckets REZ_POSITION=<1.0, 0.5, 0.0> # # Set to 0 to disable menu and just rez product on touch MENU_MODE=0 # # Set to 0 if you don't want to allow adding SF_WATER item via menu to top up level ACCEPT_PRODUCT=0 # # Can be WIND, GRID, SELF or RELAY which relates to using Wind powered water pump, Electric pump, built in system or via another nearby storage-well MODE=RELAY # # In RELAY mode, where to get water from RELAY_WELL=SF Water Tower # # Set to 1 for clouds, rain and other effects WEATHER=1 # # If WEATHER=1 set the range of the rain in m RAIN_RADIUS=35 # # How often in seconds to increase level by ONE_PART if MODE=SELF WATERTIME=600 # # SEA_LEVEL forces it to be at sea level to work. Can also specify item to scan for or remove/comment out if not needed REQUIRES=SEA_LEVEL # # radius in m to scan for REQUIRES item RANGE=6 # # Default language LANG=en-GB
(A) Examples of the various settings
LIQUID=
This is the item that is produced such as water, sea water, yeast etc. If this item is not in the contents as a product (e.g if LIQUID=Water the the product is SF Water) the system will check with storage locations to try and find a copy and if it is unable to find it then it will show on float text that it needs that item.
MENU_MODE=
If set to 1 then menu mode is enabled and touching the item will give you a menu. If set to 0 this disables the menu and touching immediately rezzes the product. If you are using the NPC Farmer then the item that it uses to fetch water must be set this way.
ACCEPT_PRODUCT=
If menu mode is active, you can enable or disable the option to allow you to top up the storage well via the ‘Add’ button
MODE=
The options are WIND which requires an SF Wind Pump nearby, GRID which allows it to take power from the electricity grid, RELAY which allows you to link wells together and SELF which means it does not require energy.
REQUIRES=
If you enter SEA_LEVEL then the Z height position should be near to the regions Water Height setting in order for it to operate.
You can also specify the name of something that needs to be close to the well for it to work. As an example you may decide that for producing yeast, the well needs to be close to the SatyrFarm Distillery so you would edit the notecard to have the line:
REQUIRES=SatyrFarm Distillery
If you do not require anything for operation, just remove or comment out the REQUIRES= line
WEATHER=
Setting this to 1 will enable anyweather or other special effects system. You can find more information on creating your own weather and effects systems in chapter 13.9
9.2 IRRIGATION
Plants, animals and mining all require water. There are various ways to get the water to where it is needed and you can use one or a combination of the following:
(A) Manual watering
You take water from any of the storage wells that are set to give water. As the SF Water is product, you can touch it and have it follow you as you go to the item that requires water. Don’t forget you can have more than one bucket follow you but don’t get to ambitious – 4 or 5 is probably a good maximum! You can also use one of the watering carts if you don’t fancy to much walking!
Manual water means you don’t need to have any storage wells near things but you do need to keep an eye on water levels, as if they get to low for to long plants and animals may die on you!
(B) NPC Farmer watering
The NPC farmer can be used to water plants and animal feeders. You need to ensure that there is a storage well within the farmers range that has menu mode disabled, since the farmer expects to just touch it to get the water.
NPC farmers visit items on a relatively random basis and only know if to water an item when they visit it, so if you have too many items for the NPC to manage it may miss items that are in desperate need of water!
(C) Auto watering
Anything that needs water has an ‘auto’ option. Turning this on means the item will look to automatically get water from the closest source. Check the config notecard to see if there is an option to set the source, if not then it will be looking for a storage well called SF Water Tower The limit for searching is a 96m radius. Note also that if the closest storage-well found is not in the same group as the thing requesting it, an error message is given. If you have plants, animal feeders etc. That are close to a neighbours water towers, you may see this error message and then need to either move your items or put a water source closer to them.
Generally the water level can get quite low before the plant, feeder etc. Calls for more water. If you have to many items trying to get water from the one storage well then it’s possible the well may not be able to fill up quickly enough to meet the demand, and so you should keep an eye on how much things use.
As we have seen there are various ways to configure these water towers:
Wind mode
The ‘SF Wind Pump’ will start gradually filling with water after it is first rezzed and when it gets to 100% (about 2 hours from a fresh rez) it sends one portion of water to the closest item called “SF Water Tower” (note though that the maximum distance between the two can be no more than 96m) The wind pump will now continue to send one portion at regular intervals (approx 15-20 minutes)
If the demand on the water tower is too high it may run out of water before the next load is sent from the pump. A wind pump can only supply one water tower.
Grid mode
When the water level in a grid mode storage-well drops below about 40% it will send a request to the regional (electric) water pump for more water. The pump first checks there is enough power in the grid and if so will start and send water to the requesting storage-well.
Relay mode
In relay mode you can set one storage well to get water from another storage well. As an example you could put out some SF Water sprinklers near your plants and set the plants to get their water from the sprinklers. Then you set the sprinklers to get their water from the SF Water Tower.
The blue circle shows the range of the main water tower and the green circle is the range of the water sprinkler. You could add more sprinklers anywhere in the blue circle to extend the range even further.

2.4 - Getting assistance
(a) The NPC Farmer
Perhaps you would like a ‘farm hand’ to help with odd jobs around the farm?
The pillar next to the water tower is the control system for an NPC Farmer (NPC means ‘non-player character’ see http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OSSLNPC)
We can have an NPC Farmer help us with some basic chores.
How does the Farmer NPC Work?
The Farmer NPC is constantly looking for farm items within range (set via the config notecard which we will cover soon). It will try to get water and then water plants with less than 30% water. The farmer will harvest plants and put their harvest in the configured storage location.
The farmer can also be set to cook slop and then store that away also. So the NPC Farmer can completely sustain a small farm, assuming that non-grass animal feeders have AutoFood set to on.
Troubleshooting
When rezzing an NPC , it should appear right in front of the rezzer box. If they are rezzed at the edge of the sim instead, this means you have closed access to your parcel. This will cause the NPC to fail. Please allow access to the parcel - the NPC will use the group of the controller and make sure age restriction is off.
If the farmer rezzes okay but just stands still, this is normally because the NPC rezzer box is set to a different group to the parcel. Click the rezzer to remove the NPC then change so that both land and rezzer are in same group. You should now find that the farmer sets off to the well as soon as it appears.

2.1 Setting Up OpenSim
(a) Opensim - Versions and configuration
The VivoSim system has been built and tested to work on the official release versions of opensim 0.9.0.1 onwards. It supports both XEngine and YEngine. Anything that uses physics will have a note to tell you if it is designed for one particular type or can auto-sense the physics engine.
Please note that if you use builds other than that from opensimulator.org things may or may not work as I can't test every version, unfortunately!
(b) Setting Standard Permissions
Before using (or even rezing) any parts of this system in your region, you should ensure that you have the correct permissions for the required OSSL functions by editing the settings in the osslEnable.ini file (in bin/config-include folder) If you do not have access to this file you will need to get your region host to change them for you. Note that in newer versions of OpenSimulator you may need to copy osslEnable.ini.example to osslEnable.ini
[NOTE: in opensim ini files the ; symbol at the start of a line turns it into a comment. In the following, we comment out the first two lines and uncomment the next two]
osslParcelO = "" osslParcelOG = "" ;osslParcelO = "PARCEL_OWNER," ;osslParcelOG = "PARCEL_GROUP_MEMBER,PARCEL_OWNER,"
; osslParcelO = "" ; osslParcelOG = "" osslParcelO = "PARCEL_OWNER," osslParcelOG = "PARCEL_GROUP_MEMBER,PARCEL_OWNER,"
Then add/edit the various function levels to:
; ThreatLevel VeryLow
Allow_osSetDynamicTextureDataBlendFace = ${OSSL|osslParcelOG}ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER
; ThreatLevel Low
Allow_osMessageObject = ${OSSL|osslParcelOG}ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER
; ThreatLevel High
Allow_osMakeNotecard = ${OSSL|osslParcelOG}ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER
; ThreatLevel VeryHigh
Allow_osGetNotecard = ${OSSL|osslParcelOG}ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER
Next, to make sure everything works as it should, change your active group to match that of the parcel that your farm is in. You should make sure all farm items are set to that group.
(c) Setting Permissions for NPC Farmer
If you plan to use any NPC Farmers then the following additional setting is required:
; ThreatLevel Moderate
Allow_osSetSpeed=ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER,PARCEL_OWNER
Also edit your OpenSim.ini
[NPC]
Enabled = true
(d) Setting Permissions for fishing system
If you plan to use the fishing system then the following additional setting is required:
; ThreatLevel VeryHigh
Allow_osForceDetachFromAvatar=ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER,PARCEL_OWNER
(e) Setting Permissions for VivoSim Exchange
If you plan to put out any exchange boxes then the following additional settings are required:
; ThreatLevel Moderate
Allow_osGetGridLoginURI=${OSSL|osslParcelO}ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER
(f) Setting Permissions for Rental system
The default ossl settings will allow the estate owner and managers as well as the parcel owner to use the rental system. If you are getting errors, or you wish to also allow group members to use it, you should set/edit the following:
; ThreatLevel Moderate
Allow_osGetGridHomeURI=${OSSL|osslParcelOG}ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER
(g) Dealing with errors
If you are getting permission errors make sure the above permissions are correctly set. You can get an OSSL Tester box at the VivoSim store on Mintor - rez this and it will check things are set up okay.
Next, to make sure everything works as it should, change your active group to match that of the parcel that you will rez the platform in. Anyone that is a member of that group will be able to interact with the farm. That group should have Object Entry and Run Scripts permissions.
If you have any problems setting the above up,
please do use the VivoSim forums to get assistance.
(h) Selecting languages
This guide and the default settings for all items is to use UK English, however, you can change the language items used from the @ button on menus. You can also edit the config notecard to set the default language.
If your preferred language is not shown please do let me know and I will look into adding it.
We are also grateful if anyone wishes to translate this guide into other languages (see https://translate.vivosim.net)

2.2 Starting Out
(a) Rez the first platform
Okay, so now we are ready to rez the "START HERE" platform (found in the starter kit) The platforms all show you what size they will be when you rez them, so find a suitable space for this platform (that’s all we will be rezzing to start with).
A good idea can be to press first, which activates the building Edit tool, so when you rez the platform everything will be selected and you can easily reposition it if necessary.
This platform contains everything you will need to get started and start learning how things work.

(b) Prepare for your first animals
A basic farm needs only a SatyrFarm Well and the SF Feeder and then it’s almost ready for certain animals (i.e. ones that can eat grass). Before we add our first animals, you may notice that the grass feeders are showing “DRINK WATER LOW” so we need to top them up. To do that touch/left click on the well and you will see a bucket of water appear.
If you now touch the bucket it will move towards you and then follow you as you walk about. So head over until you are standing next to one of the feeder barrels with the water bucket also near it. Touch the feeder and you will get a menu with various options. For now, just click on the button marked Add Water. The water will empty from the bucket into the feeder and you will see the levels increase and now it says that the grass needs watering.
Get another bucket from the well and this time when you touch the feeder for the menu, select Water Grass and after a few seconds you should have some lush grass and no more red warning text over the feeder. You might also notice that the well is showing the level as 80% - each time we take a bucket of water, the level drops and then it will slowly fill back up over time.
When we add animals, they will drink the water from the feeder, plus eat the grass so it will be up to you to keep topping up the water. As your farm grows, this may start to take up way to much of your time so there is a way to make life simpler!
I’m sure you have noticed the wind pump and water tower? The wind pump draws water from the ground and feeds it into the nearest water tower. The water tower can then be used to automatically provide water for things that need it (at the moment just our feeder).
If you touch the second grass feeder to get the menu, you will see a button marked +AutoWater If you click this it will turn on the auto watering feature and the feeder will try to find a water tower within range (around a 90m radius) Once it finds the water tower you will see it automatically fills up. As long as there is enough water in the water tower your feeder will now never need you to add water to it – makes life easier for you doesn't it! You might want to select that option for the first feeder.
As your farm grows, you may need to add more water towers but we will cover that in more detail later on as for now, there should be plenty of water available.
(c) Add your first animals
In your inventory open the Platform 1 folder you will see an item called QSF Animal Rezzer – Quintonia-Vx (where x is the version number)
You can either rez this to the ground or select to wear it (it will be worn as a HUD), whichever you prefer.
The animal rezzer is where animals come from initially. It’s also used to update animals when new updated scripts are released.
If you have rezzed it, move it to where you would like your animal to appear (ideally next to one of the grass feeders). If you are wearing it as a HUD, the animal will be rezzed at your feet, so stand where you wish the animal to appear.
Touch the HUD/box to get the menu and select the Rez… button. There are a lot of animals to choose from but only certain ones eat grass so we will just start with those. Let’s start with a Cow. When you rez it, give it a few seconds to initialize and then you will see a happy cow!
Note that your cow may be a different colour – some animals have ‘genetics’!
When your animals become adult, you can mate them so you may choose to rez another cow in anticipation of that time!
By default, the rezzer will alternate between producing male and female animals but you can change it to be random if you prefer from the options button.
You may also wish to rez a couple more animals – choose from goats or sheep (since both can eat from the grass feeder.)
So now you have your basic farm set up, the animals will eat from the feeders (which are getting water from the water tower) and will grow day by day until they become adults.
Congratulations, you are now officially a VivoSim Farmer!
