CONGRATULATIONS, you now have a fully working teleport system!

Customisation Options

Name Change

---

Simply rename the pad inworld, and the network will update automatically. You need to use the "Name" field, not the "description" field, as shown in the image below:

Location Change

---

Simply move the pad to the new location, and the network will update automatically.

Texture Customisation

---

• Mesh: Look for the Transporter "shade map" for the mesh Transporter. If it's not in the shipping crate, ask Casper Warden or Sphynx Soleil for a copy.
• Prim: The sculpted edging prim is simply tinted - you can retint it to whatever color you like. The logo prim is just a flat cylinder, so you can retexture that as you would any other legacy prim.

Hover/Floaty Text

---

Hover/Floaty text is on by default. This picks up the wording you have in the "description" field of the Transporter pad. To change this, follow these steps:

• Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set floatytext to either "YES" or "NO" depending on whether you want hover text or not.
• Save the notecard
• Change the text in the "description" field to match what you want the hover text to say.

This image will show you what needs to be changed to alter the hover text:

Privacy Options

Whitelist

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set default = "DENY"
2. Then add the names of the people you wish to allow under the [WHITELIST] section.
3. Save the notecard

Blacklist

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set default = "ALLOW"
2. then add the names of the people you wish to ban under the [BLACKLIST] section
3. Save the notecard

Group Only

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set default = "DENY"
2. "Access" in configuration notecard must be changed to "group"
3. Transporter pad must be set to the group (it needs to be able to compare the worn group tag versus its own group.)
4. Save the notecard

Age Restriction

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set default = "DENY"
2. Set "minimumage" or "maximumage" options to the number of days. 0 means disabled.
3. Save the notecard

One-Way Inbound/Outbound

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set default = "DENY"
2. Set "block" to either OUTBOUND or INBOUND depending on which way you want to block TP's.
3. Save the notecard

Block Linking To/From Pads Owned by Others

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set "mode = PRIVATE"
2. This will need to be set individually on all pads you don't want linkable
3. Save the notecard

Cannot Hide Destinations

---

Everyone will see all the available destinations on the transporter - they just will not be able to teleport to ones that they are restricted from.

The reason there are no hidden locations is because doing so causes the pad to double-check whether that avatar / that group tag is allowed for all destinations. This casues an unacceptable delay before the menu is shown.

Workaround: Have "hidden" destinations on a different teleport network (see "networking" section below) and put the start location pad for the other network in a hidden location that only the appropriate people know about.

Networking Options

Linking To/From Pads Owned by Others

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set "mode = PUBLIC"
2. This will need to be set individually on all pads you want publicly linkable
3. Save the notecard

Separate Transporter Networks

---

1. Open the ACCESSLIST notecard and set "mode = PUBLIC"
2. Change the "channel" number in the notecard.
3. Save the notecard

NOTE: By default all Transporter pads use "Channel = 0". If you change a pads to a specific OTHER channel, it will ONLY be able to communicate with pads on the SAME specific channel. (It will only listen on a single channel, not multiple.)

CasperLet Integration

NOTE: YOU NEED CASPERLET 1.15 OR HIGHER TO USE THIS FUNCTIONALITY.

1. Set the "CasperLet" value in the notecard to YES, and save.
2. Wait a few seconds until the notecard has finished reading.
3. Touch the transporter.
4. Touch the rental unit you want to link the transporter to
5. Watch the stream of particles which should now be emitting from your transporter. Are they going to the right unit? Click "yes" or "no". If they're not, start again from step #3.
6. That's it! The transporter pad will now work in conjunction with your rental meter.

The CasperLet functionality will let ANYONE use the transporter when the unit is "available" - but ONLY the tenant(s) when it's rented.

By default, the transporter will ONLY take them to the location of the rental meter, however you can change this by setting "ACCESSCONTROLONLY" to YES. This will make the transporter behave as normal, except it will use the CasperLet unit to determine who can TP and who cannot.

If you like, you can set "acceptpayments" to YES which will allow people to pay the transporter pad to rent the rental unit it's linked to (if it's available). If this mode is enabled, the transporter will also duplicate any floating text which appears on the unit.

FAQ / Troubleshooting

Q. Can I sort Transporter destinations into a certain order?

A. The Transporter does not support destination sorting at this time. The pads only sort by the order in which the units receive messages from each other.

Q. I'm getting the error "llSetPrimitiveParams warning running rule #1 (PRIM_GLOW): PRIM_GLOW disallowed on agent."

A. You have an old version of the Transporter. Get the latest version from a handy redelivery terminal. If you use the terminal at the CasperTech store, it will sort all CasperTech purchases to the top of the list.
