Introduction

In most cases you can change all your settings by using the HS Orbs menu.


To use commands you type them in chat while standing next to the HS Orb and hit Enter.

To add information such as names or set up networking you will need to know these commands.

All the commands bellow are assuming that your settings card has the default setting for channel. That is channel 8.
If you wish to change the channel the Orb accepts commands on or sends normal messages see the "Channel" notecard inside it.
Warning:
You must be within 20 meters when typing commands for the HS Orb to hear you. If you shout the command you must be within 100m. It may not work over region borders.

Green entries are not on the menus, many are advanced commands.

Basic Commands

Examples:
/8slw -1 -1 disables script warnings.
/8slw 0 0 shows warning popup to scripted avatars.
/8slw 3 10 warns scripted avatars who have more than 3MB of scripts OR more than 10 scripts.
/8slw 3 -1 would enable script memory check and warn at over 3MB and ignore the script count check.
/8slw -1 10 would enable script count check and warn at over 10 scripts and ignore the script memory check.
