HyperTeleportation it Hank Ramos's suepr nifty automated flight script for SL.
It is robust enough to you anywhere on the mainland, it's smart enough to route around obstacles.
Hank recently released it as an open-source API. I am working on making a 'shinier' version. I'm asking....
What would you, the person that would buy this for a small price and simply pay me a buck a trip, like to see in an 'enhanced model'?
I'm already going to add...
- easier to understand menus
- simpler HUD options
I was also thinking a 'group follow' command would be nice. Where one person could suggest a destination and people would accept it and they'd all head there, would you guys like that?
As for the point-to-point teleport that's suddenly become a debated issue of late, I'm simply getting f'ing tired of commercialized telehubs that bog down my ability to get places.

according to the demo I used it was charging. Yes only one Linden but it has enough application that if it was more accurate it could defiantly be used 24/7 (Tried to land in sky boxes and landed on top which was a difference of 5-10 meters). So price and accuracy.

So price and accuracy. I'd still charge you a buck a trip for a 'basic model' that would only cost L$10. I managed to get all over the mainland without any problems last night. Went from my spot in Behrii to Goguen to the most SE sim, back to Balance, then to a sim near Waterhead. |

So price and accuracy. Well, you can get more accuracy by phantoming during flight, really - which I don't think it does by default currently. Similarly, the open-source is easy enough to change price on - the one I use is now free (although I certainly don't begrudge Hank the money, I'm fiddling with it myself...) _____________________

I happen to be a pour SL'er with a land fee to pay off..... I'm going to make the HT like a lifestyle accessory. Maybe rig up some cost-free versions, some 'gift teleport' versions, etc. How would you like the option to 'flock' people by shouting the coords, and having people accept a prompt? |

Fly down low
08-26-2005 19:19
I like an option to fly down as low you can so you can better see stuff whoooshing by.
The group fly idea is good. _____________________

I'd like it just fine. Which is why I'll script it for myself.  (Not at all a slight on you or your attempts; I hardly discourage money-making schemes. Just, y'know, this is a fun script to hack around with! )_____________________

There is a slight problem with flying low....
a) stuff rezzing that might trap you, even if phantomed. Phantom would have to be constamtly re-applied with the speed you cross a border. b) bandwidth from all of the sims in the fligth path sending you information c) INSTANT TP-HOME SCANNERS, autoguns, etc. Etc, etc. I'm surprized by how well this stuff handles dangerous sims, I might try it on dangerous sims later. |
