Ninja HUD 2.0 released

Here is a list of changes in the new version:

* Total running scripts down to 5 from 27 or something crazy like that.
* New button texture theme is easier on the eyes than the previous themes.
* Scripts compiled and running in Mono.
* New distraction objects added to the Escape gadget.
* Sky walking cloud total particle count reduced with the same overall visual effect.
* Shuriken and kunai can now be used at the same time or independently.
* Foot trap now rezzes at the user's feet instead of behind them.
* Caltrops rewritten to slow down any who enter with pushes instead of objects (that were not working in 1.6).
* Sounds added to menu.
* Limitation on how many caltrops that could be active has been removed.
* New option to switch between three menu sizes.
* New gadget "Disappear" added.
* New option to enable/disable automatic Skywalking after using the Escape gadget.
* Entire HUD can now collapse to keep HUD space uncluttered if preferred.

Gold and Diamond Jewelry Set

I was looking to buy some new jewelry a few weeks ago since my jewelry options are pretty sparse. There are certainly some nice jewelry sets available, but most of them are far more expensive that I would readily pay for something I may or may not wear often at all.

Tonight I finally made a poster and placed a couple of my jewelry set vendors in-world. The jewelry is also available on XStreetSL. All the jewelry is mod/copy and not transferrable. I also made some little jewelry boxes that open and close so the jewelry can be put on display.

The earrings, nose ring, two chokers, and jewelry display boxes are all in the same package for L$200.

Galaxy Generator Released

The galaxy generator is released. There are quite a number of things I would like to add to it eventually, but I suppose I'm happy with the basic setup for now.

On a side note, I've turned off comment moderation but turned on the word completion box to prevent spamming.

Galaxy Generator Example Movie

I recorded and edited a little bit of the galaxies in motion. I'm wondering if "Galaxy Generator" is a poor name since some of the effects look less like galaxies and more like glowing clouds. Then again I suppose that sort could count as an elliptical galaxy. Perhaps sometime I'll be able to update the generator to generate specific types of galaxies.

Anyway, here's an embedded version of the example movie, and links to alternate sites follow:

Galaxy Generator Coming Soon

I've made a galaxy generator that cycles through about 40 presets or generates galaxies at random. I have the poster finished, but I don't have the instructions written, so it won't be available until tomorrow.

I think they look much better in motion than they do as still images, but here's a few snapshots of some presets and randomly generated galaxy effects:

Eyana's Ninja Hud version 1.6 >.>

Ninja Hud 1.6 is now released after having several reports of some weirdness in one of the scripts, basically caused by a typo.
