Number of Posts On The Home Page?
I have set the number of posts on the home page to 12. If you think it should be more or less please comment below. Thank you.
All pages have been posted and cross linked for better searching...
Because "pages" on Blogger cannot be easily searched, all the pages have been posted as "posts", cross linked and labels applied hopefully making search easier within pages in the right hand column. You should be able to search for terms within all the pages now. Besides the search box, you can also use the tag/label cloud on the right column to search for labeled posts and pages.

"Hello, Congratulations, you are in possession of a Drivers of SL 'NavHUD!'
To reach your pre-programmed destination, just move in a direction that will keep the guidance circle's pointer up at 12-o-clock.
The directional guidance circle is green when you are facing your next waypoint, and will turn to yellow, then eventually red, as you face further away from that goal.
Touch the circle to expand the HUD to display a wide set of drive-time options.
Along the way you may receive guidance and cautions about upcoming rez areas, fuel pumps, narrow roads or channels, turn directions and angles, etc.
Click on the barely legible little orange and black arrow sign if you are lost. You will be re-routed and happily on your way again.
Click on the small icon with the arrow pointing to the green diamond to bring up a map that will show you the next rez area, with an option to teleport there.
Click on the cardboard box with an outgoing arrow to get things redelivered to you if you lost a given item or failed to accept it when offered.
Click on the steering wheel to be auto-piloted during the navigation phase of the current leg.
Click on the box labelled 'next leg' if you are hopelessly stuck on either the navigation or quest phase of a driving tour leg.
To repeat this help at any time, click the little question mark icon you see near the directional guidance circle.
Sent to you is a texture explaining how to use most of the NavHUD features.
Finally, just printed in your chat window is a link you can click to teleport directly to the start of the route.
Thank you for using the NavHUD!
Click this to teleport to the starting point: Teleport to...(the starting point)"

Configuring Visible Cargo with GTFO!
GTFO Logo |
Configuring Visible Cargo
If the vehicle is modifiable and tolerates changed links (ie, it won't explode if you add a box or two) you can add as many containers as the vehicle is raided for, and name them CARGO!x from 1 to how many the vehicle will hold. If you add more, extra containers may remain visible in the unloading process.
So, CARGO!1, CARGO!2, etc.
Depending on the load/unload time, items will be visible/vanish at blocks.
e.g. Containervessel Andrea Doria, all above of 12 container are visible/vanish at once.
Some vehicles needs a special procedure for unlinking/linking. Please consult the creators manual!
Since HUD 1.9.0 the cargo part got separated from the HUD main script.
To operate visible cargo, take your vehicle to edit and drop the !GTFO!CARGO V.1.9.0a into the content.
To configure, how the cargo appear, edit the VAPI-notecard content accordingly.
qty(cargo quantity) times secs(number of seconds to load each item) qty x sec can not exceed 115 seconds else last cargo will not show loading
sample: qty=6
secs=6
These figures will not replace actual carrying capacity of your vehicle only the loading/unloading of it.
Advanced Multi-Face, Compressible Cargo
If you are an advanced scripter, you can set the following in the block's descriptions:
[ Prefix ] [ Number Of Containers In Prim ] [ Prim Size ] [ Prim Local Position ]
"CGO,0,<1,1,1>,<0,0,5>"
CGO - Prefix the API looks for, it wants to see this when it's scanning the link-set.
Faces - 0 or 1 = Single Container
If you have multi-element cargo prims, set up to 8 faces.
Prim Size - The vector size the prim will be expanded to when made visible
Prim Local Pos - the LOCAL position it will move the cargo to.
Happy GTFOing

How To Set Up Your Vehicle for GTFO!
- Create a new notecard.
- Rename the notecard "GTFO!xxxx" where xxxx is the 'VAPI Code' for your vehicle
- Example: "GTFO!SUPERCUB" if you have Laminar Cub
- Enter some "space" to the notecard content
- Save the NC. By this NC, you can now also configure how many pieces of cargo that show and the time between each piece.
- This figures does not change the actual job cargo or replace the actual carrying capacity of any vehicle.
- More in "Configure visible cargo", below
VAPI (API code) https://sl-gtfo.com/vehicle-creators/
Installing The Vehicle Scripts
- Rez your Vehicle
- Edit the Vehicle's contents
- Insert the named NC "GTFO!xxxx" into contents.
- Insert the GTFO! API script included in this package
- The API script will now tell you if it found the api block or it will present an error.
- To find your GTFO prepared vehicle in inventory, add e.g. GTFO to the end of the vehicles name. Some vehicle, like Shergood heli's, need parts of the name unchanged, to have all features work. Consult your manual.
- Take it back to inventory, then rez it again.
Using GTFO!
Click the GTFO Hud and there will be a button labeled 'Find Hubs'.
If you're in a mainland continent, you will see hubs in your proximity.
- Visit a GTFO Hub Region
- Rez a Vehicle you have prepared for GTFO
- Sit in your Vehicle and wait for GTFO to tell you it is connected.
- Click the HUD.
- Select 'Get Cargo'
- You will see some options depending on your vehicle.
"Courier Job" - Deliver goods from here to another hub.
" Freight Job" - Deliver goods from here to another hub.
"Air Drop" - The same as above but to non-hub 'mission regions'.
You can not load freight at such locations and is not available for all vehicles.
After updates you may see some new jobs types,
these are pretty much the same thing but with different margins
- Pick a job, then select a destination from the menu.
- Look through the cargo options for the highest value or funniest name, you pick.
- For the initial launch the cargo names may really random.
- You may start of with insufficient funds if your vehicle is too large, you may need a smaller vehicle until you can earn more money.
- Click 'Load' and then 'Confirm'.
- Wait for the HUD to tell you the job is loaded and you are ready to depart.
- You can move the vehicle if necessary for traffic, but do not leave the sim as this will cancel the job.
- Travel to destination in the allowed time.
- Click HUD then 'deliver'.
- Wait for cargo to unload.
- Collect fake game money.
- Repeat.
Freebie Version Limitation
The Freebie Edition has access to all vehicles and destinations, but...
- Freebie HUDs will not level up past Level 5
- They will not gain xp or money bonuses from extra distances traveled
- They will not gain perks or unlocked items
- They will not be able to participate in leader boards
However, XP and money gained with the freebie edition carry over into the paid versions!
If something does not work as it should, de- and re- attach the hud solve most problems.
If you find anything suspect or is obviously a bug, please let us know.
Fastest help you will find in our in-world group secondlife:///app/group/0de2c89b-6213-91e0-c0a5-6936fd1201e6/about
