Happy Happy Thursday everyone! Today has been a wonderful day! This morning we had a amazing Spring Fling event lead by Karrie and Ava. We talked and danced as we listened to awesome tunes spun by Miss Dakota. What fun it was!! Be sure to check out our calendar for more exciting upcoming Amaretto events! As for my Customer Connection, I want to take a moment to go over one of our amazing and handy tools that I feel is a must have when raising and breeding Amaretto breedables. This nifty tool is called the GPS. I am going to answer a few common questions about the GPS and go over the basics of this tool as it is pretty much the same for all 3 breedables, Horses, K9, or birds.
What does GPS stand for and where can you get one?
For Horses:
GPS stands for Global Pony Settings and you can pick one up at any of the Amaretto Ranch Breedables Horse store locations.
For K9s:
GPS. stands for Global Pup Settings and you can get one at all of our Amaretto Ranch Breedables K9 store locations.
For Barnyard Birds:
GPS. stands for Global Peck’n Sort and this can be found at all Amaretto Ranch Breedables Barnyard Bird store locations.
I picked up a GPS … now what do I do? How do I use it?
- First you want to start by opening the box to your inventory. Locate the GPS in your inventory and rez to the ground in world.
- Click the GPS and you will get a drop down blue menu with the following options
Set Range – this will set the range of your breedables
Activate – After you have chosen all your settings, click this to activate your settings
(If your text setting is left in the on position, you will probably notice the text on your breedables will go off and then come back on.)
Home Set- this button is to decide to keep the Home setting where it was or tell the GPS to reset the home on your breedables
Text Off- this button is to turn off all text above your breedables
Sounds On- this button is to turn on the sounds your breedables makes
Sounds Off- this button is to turn off the sounds your breedables makes
Anims On- this button is to turn the animations of your breedables on
Anims Off- this button is to turn the animations of your breedables off
Text On- this button is to turn on all text above your breedables
Move Physic- this button is to set your breedables movement to physical
(While set to Physical, your breedables will not walk through other objects)
Move Phant- this button is to your breedables movement to phantom
(While set to phantom, Phantom your breedables will walk through other objects)
Move Off- this button is to set your breedables movement to off
- Once you have set all settings to your wants and needs you simply click the Activate button and you settings will then take place!
And for our last common question…
When I click Activate on the GPS will it work on all my breedables on my sim?
The answer is Yes! The GPS will apply the settings you choose to all rezzed Horses, K9s, or Barnyard Birds on your sim. The GPS works sim wide. If you have horses, k9s, and birds you must use the breed specific GPS to set their settings. There is not a universal GPS that works on all three breedables. Also, I’d like to mention, if you have special projects that have special settings, please remember this when using the GPS as it does apply the settings to ALL rezzed horses, k9s, and birds.
I hope everyone now understands the GPS and how it works. It is a very hand tool, especially for when a herd of 10 breedables becomes and sim wide farm of 100s!
Happy breeding and GPS setting to everyone!!
Until next time……
