New User Information
 | Please take the time to thoroughly read the entire page so that you have a better understanding of how the system works. |
This page assumes you are new to the concept of networked vending systems in general (not just CasperLet), so this page both explains some the concepts, as well as the basic setup steps.
About the DropBox
The dropbox handles notecards and landmarks for your rentals. Notecards are given in two situations: (1) when a user clicks for "info", and (2) when a tenant pays for a rental.
One dropbox PER system owner is required. Having duplicate(s) on at least one additional sim is very recommended to work around the sim communication issues that the Lab still needs to fix.
See the page for full details and explanations.
About the Units page
The Units page is also frequently called the "bulk" or "global settings" page, and also is the page referred to when you see "bulk setup". This page controls the base configuration for all of your rental units.
If you have any units that will have a different configuration than the default, they will need to be configured on a per-unit basis.
CasperLet currently does not support "rental profiles" for rental units. (A suggestion ticket is in the queue for it, however, and it is expected to be added at some point in the future.)
Creating your CasperLet Account
See the CasperLet account creation section.
Other Terminology
Please remember "Sign" is not another word for rental unit, and you WILL confuse the support staff if you refer to a rental unit as a sign.
There is an actual sign object in the CasperLet shipping crate that can be used WITH a rental - but it is not a rental unit by itself, and must be linked TO a rental unit.
Rental Unit Versions
All documentation here assumes that all rental units are version 1.31 or later.
Unit versions 1.2x and earlier are no longer supported. If you have older versions out, you must update them to the current version in order to receive techical support. Simply redeliver the CasperLet crate to receive an updated UpgradeBee - an older Bee will not have the current version of the script.
Setup Limitation
Currently CasperLet does not support rental profiles. If you have 2 or more "base configuration sets" (that are dependent on the rental), you will still need to choose one as the default, and change the rest individually - this will be using the "bulk + individual" section below.
A suggestion ticket is in the queue to add rental profile functionality.
Quick Start Sections
- If all of your rental units will use the same base configuration, follow the instructions in "bulk setup" section.
- If SOME of your rental units will use the same base config, but you will have SOME units with different settings, use the "Bulk + individual setup" section.
- If all of your rental units will use different configurations, use the "individual setup" section below.
Bulk Setup
1) Unpack your CasperLet shipping crate
- If you wish, you can see a list of what's in the box with links to explain some of the tools in there.
2) Rez one (non-"slave") rental unit PER RENTAL
- If the tenant will TAKE OWNERSHIP of the parcel (such as with land sales on an island estate) then the rental unit must NOT be on the parcel they're taking ownership of. This also means prim counting won't work.
- If the landlord is retaining ownership of the parcel that the tenant is renting (such as with vending events or shopping malls), the rental unit should be ON the parcel.
- The object names of the primary/master units to use are as follows:
- CasperLet Rental Box
- CasperLet Rental Meter
- CasperLet Mesh Rental Meter
- Units with "slave" in the name are strictly a command relay object. They do not store settings at all, and you cannot use them in place of a primary/master unit.
Manager handling your setup?
Rez out all the units that are needed - or drag-copy as many as you need - NOW before the configuration process begins!
3) Grant debit permissions
- See the debit permissions page to details of what these are and why they should be granted.
- NOTE: If you are re-rezzing a copy of a unit you've already granted permissions for, you won't see another debit perms popup. This is normal.
4) Recognize rented state changes?
- Follow the instructions on the CasperLet customisation page to make sure they STILL change once you're done with configuration. If you make changes without following these instructions, rental units will not change between rented and available states.
5) Go to CasperLet website and log in
- Click one of your rental units, select "config" from the popup menu, use that link to go to the website, and log in.
6) Set your bulk settings
- Go to the Units page when logged in, and set your options. Remember to click "SAVE" anytime you have a "save" option on a setting, and then use the "save" button at the BOTTOM of the bulk page as well.
- 'This means change only ONE option at a time, and when you have a "save" button for that option, click "save" once it's set!
Bulk + Individual Setup
1) Unpack your CasperLet shipping crate
2) Rez one rental unit PER RENTAL
Manager handling your setup?

- NOTE: If you are re-rezzing a copy of a unit you've already granted permissions for, you won't see another debit perms popup. This is normal.
4) Recognize rented state changes?
- Follow the instructions on the CasperLet customisation page to make sure they STILL change once you're done with configuration. If you make changes without following these instructions, rental units will not change between rented and available states.

- Click one of your rental units, select "config" from the popup menu, use that link to go to the website, and log in.
6) Set your bulk settings
- Go to the Units page when logged in, and set your options. Remember to click "SAVE" anytime you have a "save" option on a setting, and then use the "save" button at the BOTTOM of the bulk page as well.
- 'This means change only ONE option at a time, and when you have a "save" button for that option, click "save" once it's set!
7) Set your different individual settings
- For each unit you want different from your base defaults, you will need to:
- Click that specific unit
- Select "config" from the popup menu
- arrove at the individual unit's configuration page
- Make your changes
- Remember to click "save" for each option with a "save" button
- Remember to click "save" at the bottom when done
Individual Setup
1) Unpack your CasperLet shipping crate
2) Rez one rental unit PER RENTAL
3) Grant debit permissions
4) Recognize rented state changes?
5) Go to CasperLet website and log in
