MicrObey 200329.1 Released

So the weekend warrior thing was all about RLV, really, but some foundation laid for upcoming work.

For RLV to work, you obviously need a viewer that has RLV, have RLV turned on, and have RLV enabled for MicrObey. That's a lot, really, but worth it. MicrObey is really centered around RLV, and a lot of the experiences use it. Here's my opportunity to shamelessly plug Firestorm Viewer, which makes RLV pretty easy.

MicrObey has two notions of RLV. "In Session", and "Normal". In session is, of course, RLV restrictions that are applied when you're in trance. Normal is when you're not. Some of these restrictions may run counter to other restrictions imposed elsewhere in the MicrObey ecosystem. I recommend experimentation.

The big thing here is that RLV is completely opt-in at this level. Go. Enjoy it. 😀

So a quick guide. Wearing the HUD, touch the HUD bar to get the main menu:

Click on Setup to get the Setup Menu:

OK cool. You've got two buttons there for RLV. Namely, RLV and Session RLV. Each one of those will take you to the web to set up your RLV for each state:

And

Pretty cool. There's some nerd things going on here, as well, that I won't get into. But I'll say I had a blast with Properties and Attributes in C#. 😀

Some other cool things is easy access to the portal stuff. See the Portal button above? If you click on that you should get this menu:

This lets you go to the portal, set your password if you're interested in accessing the portal when not in-world (actually, this is useful for those with the Owner HUD, but a nice thing for subjects, as well), see overall statistics, see your recent training sessions, see where you've been recently, see how your zen is going, and a button just to get here on my purty (as in purty ugly) blog.

There's also been some enhancements to the Portal itself. I won't get into those. Blah!

So what's next? I plan on enhancing:

- Broadcasts
- Speech
- Subliminals

Right now these require the subject be logged in to use. I'm gonna fix that to act like RLV and Photo Galery. Owners will soon be able to setup these things while you're offline as a nice surprise for when you log in. Also, I'd like to be able to select multiple broadcasts and subliminals. We'll see how I feel about that when I do it.

Also look soon for an "I'm not scared I'm open to anyone" option. This currently exists in the MicrObey setup, but it'll be extended to cover your entire account. Because you're not scared.

There's more (there always is), but I'm tired of trying to be reasonably coherent in expressing myself. Just play around. Contact me with ideas, questions, bug reports. You'd be doing me a great favor.

Your bestest buddy,
Imperium
