Quick-And-Dirty<\/h3>\n

Creating a NEW<\/strong> Sequence:<\/p>\n

Step\u00a0 1<\/strong> – Add a new entry into the *masters<\/strong> <\/span>notecard inside the\u00a0 Sequencer-Masters Engine<\/span>.
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

S,001,$My1stSeq<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Step\u00a0 2<\/strong> – Add new entries\u00a0 into *seq1<\/span> <\/strong>notecard inside the Sequencer-Details Engine<\/span><\/strong>. Example:<\/p>\n

01 | 20.8 | tap dance
\n02 | 24.5 | Jive-3<\/p>\n

Note: the 001<\/span><\/strong> connects and associates with the 1<\/span><\/strong> in *seq1<\/span><\/p>\n

Step\u00a0 3 – Press ReadAndADD<\/span> button on the Sequencer-Masters Engine.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step\u00a0 4 – Pres<\/strong>s ReadAllAdd<\/span> <\/strong>button on the Sequencer-Details Engine.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Step\u00a0 5 – Press<\/strong> TRANSFER<\/span> <\/strong>button on the Sequencer-Masters Engine.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step\u00a0 6 – Press<\/strong> the button on the MainHUD<\/span> that matches the sequence nickname you created ($My1stSeq<\/span>) <\/strong>to play it.|<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This assumes you added it as an entry into your *dances<\/span><\/strong> notecard inside your MainHUD<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 Example:<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

A sequence is more than 1 dance that play in sequence with specified durations for each one.\u00a0 This sequence will play with one button-press just like a normal single animation.<\/p>\n

This requires the new SEQUENCER-ENGINE to CREATE and PLAY your sequences.\u00a0 The SEQUENCER-ENGINE consists of a SEQUENCER-MASTER ENGINE and\u00a0 SEQUENCER-DETAILS ENGINE.\u00a0 These must be attached or rezzed in the same sim as the Main HUD wearer.<\/p>\n

A SEQUENCE<\/span> <\/b>has a unique identifier that is a number between 001 and 900. Each sequence will have a NickName. The Nickname is what appears on the MainHUD button that you will press when you want to play a sequence.\u00a0 The NickName helps you remember what the sequence is about since just referring to a number 001-900 is not that helpful.<\/p>\n

Each Sequence has 1 or more DETAILS<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 A\u00a0 DETAIL has 1 duration (seconds) and 1 real animation name. You can have about 40 to 45 details per sequence, though it is unlikely you will ever have more than 10 DETAIL entries for a given SEQUENCE.<\/p>\n

Below are the instructions on how to create and manage\u00a0 SEQUENCE MASTERS<\/span><\/strong> and SEQUENCE DETAILS.
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sequences live\/exist in the SEQUENCER-ENGINE. To use them they must be TRANSFERRED to the MAIN HUD.\u00a0 Two ways this happens:<\/p>\n

1 – Pressing Reset<\/span> <\/strong>button on the MAIN HUD<\/strong>
\n2 – Pressing TRANSFER<\/span> <\/strong>button on the SEQUENCER MASTER<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

***************************************
\n***************************************<\/p>\n

Case-Study<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sequencing is the technique of specifying more than 1 animation that you want to play in a particular sequence and then have it loop in the same way that a single animation usually loops when dancing by specifying the actual name of the animation AND the duration, how long you want an animation to play before starting the next animation in the sequence.<\/p>\n

Animations are often sold in packs of from 2 to 6 dances.\u00a0 They may have been designed to present and play in sequence.\u00a0 By pressing one button, you can make them play in sequence, one after the other, instead of having to press a button for each dance, trying to time\/guess when one animation ends so you can start the next animation in the sequence.<\/p>\n

The system only needs to know the name of the animation, and how long you want it to play. Usually you want it to play the full length. You may have to click on an animation twice to get the duration but it is available in all animations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the above example, the name of the animation is Riverdance<\/span><\/strong>. The duration, taken from the value after Duration: is 24.50 s<\/strong><\/span> (seconds);<\/p>\n

You may have problems playing an animation whose priority is lower than the currently playing animation.<\/p>\n

******************<\/p>\n

The system identifies a sequence as a nickname<\/strong> just like there is a nickname<\/strong> for a single animation.\u00a0 The only difference is that sequences always start with a ‘$<\/span><\/strong>‘ (dollar sign).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sequence, arbitrarily named $SeqNick1,<\/strong> <\/span>can be entered anywhere that a normal animation might appear.\u00a0 A maximum length of 10<\/span><\/strong> characters for the sequence nickname is allowed.<\/p>\n

A sequence\u00a0will<\/strong>\u00a0have a speed and, can\u00a0optionally<\/strong>, have a\u00a0BPM (Beats-Per-Minute)<\/strong>\u00a0assigned to it, just like a normal single animation.<\/p>\n

You need 3<\/strong> items to CREATE<\/strong> a sequence.\u00a0 You need the same 3 items to PLAY<\/strong> a sequence.<\/p>\n

\"\" –MainHUD<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\" – Sequencer-Master-Engine<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/a> – Sequencer-Details-Engine<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

All 3 can be attached<\/strong>, or rezzed<\/strong> on the ground in the same sim\/region as the person using the system.\u00a0 They are MOD<\/strong> so you can resize them and\/or change their transparency. The Sequencer-Master Engine<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>and Sequencer-Details Engine\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> do not ever have to be accessed directly.\u00a0 Their menus can be accessed via the MainHUD. <\/strong>\u00a0It is often easier, though, to use the\u00a0 MainHUD<\/strong> when you are not making many additions or changes. Both Sequencer-Master Engine\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong>and Sequencer-Details Engine\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> can have their menus ALSO<\/strong> accessed by simply clicking on them.<\/p>\n

Bring up the Sequencer-Master-Engine<\/strong> menu<\/span> <\/strong>by either 1:\u00a0 Clicking<\/span><\/strong> on the Sequencer-Master-Engine<\/span> <\/strong>or Sequencer-Details-Engine<\/span><\/strong>
\nOR<\/span><\/strong>
\nBy pressing the [Sequencer]<\/span> <\/strong>button on the Main HUD<\/strong> from the [Analytics]<\/span><\/strong> Sub-Menu, assuming the Sequencer-Masters Engine<\/strong> is in the region and attached or rezzed.<\/p>\n

You can have a mix<\/strong> of attached<\/strong> and rezzed<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is recommended that you wear them as attachments when in normal use…but…you may find it easier to rez<\/strong> them on the ground when creating sequences as you can more easily load non-full-perm<\/strong><\/span> animations .<\/p>\n

There are 2<\/span><\/strong> ways to create sequences. The traditional way by editing notecards<\/strong>. The modern way by using the HUD menus<\/strong>.\u00a0 This modern way can save you time when you only need to add or change a few sequences.\u00a0 It also expedites faster testing and retesting of a sequence. You can mix<\/span> <\/strong>the 2 methods, editing notecards<\/span><\/strong> and using the HUD menus<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

********************************
\nMethod #1: Notecard Editing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The system comes with 2 sequences defined, with only 1 chosen to be used in the MainHUD.\u00a0 Walk-Thru:<\/p>\n

$SeqNick1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look in the *masters<\/span><\/strong> notecard inside the Sequencer-Master<\/span><\/strong><\/a> add-on:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

C,08,AllowSendToHUD,no
\nC,09,AllowCopyFromHUD,no<\/p>\n

S,001,$SeqNick1<\/strong>
\nS,002,$SeqNick2<\/strong>
\nEND<\/strong><\/p>\n

To add a new<\/strong> sequence, edit the *masters<\/span><\/strong> notecard and add the following new entry:<\/p>\n

S,001,$SeqNick1<\/strong>
\nS,002,$SeqNick2
\n<\/strong>S,003,$MySeqNick<\/strong><\/span>
\nEND<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you do not remove the existing\u00a0 masters, S,001,$SeqNick1 and S,002,$SeqNick2,<\/strong> you will get an annoying error but your new sequence will\u00a0 still add ok.\u00a0 It is suggested that you remove existing sequence entries but save them in\u00a0 case you ever want to restore and start over.\u00a0 Each unnecessary line-entry read costs extra load time.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong>
\nReading ALL Sequence-Masters Line-Entries and ADDING them to the DATABASE
\nSequence-Master WRITE ERROR<\/span><\/strong>: NickName: $SeqNick1<\/strong><\/span> (001) already exists
\nSequence-Master WRITE ERROR<\/span><\/strong>: NickName: $SeqNick2<\/span><\/strong> (002) already exists
\nSequenceMaster: 003 – $MySeqNick was ADDED Successfully !!!<\/span><\/strong>
\n13 Sequence-Master Records Read
\n1 NEW Sequence-Masters Added
\nDone<\/p>\n

So it is better to just have:<\/p>\n

C,08,AllowSendToHUD,no
\nC,09,AllowCopyFromHUD,no<\/p>\n

S,003,$MySeqNick
\n<\/span>END<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make the change by removing S,001,$SeqNick1
\nand S,002,$SeqNick2\u00a0 and don’t forget to SAVE the notecard.<\/p>\n

Press\u00a0 ReadAndADD<\/strong> <\/span>button on the Masters<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

NOTE: In this demo, there are already Sequencer-Detail<\/strong> entries for Sequence 003.\u00a0 This\u00a0 was done to show you that you can create Details before you create a Master if, for example, you cannot decide, yet, what to name your master.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

***********************
\nPressing the ListAllSeqs<\/strong> <\/span>button will produce the following confirmation of what the system thinks it has.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

001 – $SeqNick1<\/strong>
\n002 – $SeqNick2<\/strong>
\n003 – $MySeqNick<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are the Sequencer-Masters<\/strong> database<\/strong> entries and they survive Resets<\/strong>.\u00a0 The only way they can be removed is by explicitly pressings EraseAllSeqs<\/strong> button.\u00a0 This will erase all\u00a0 Sequence-Masters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will ALSO<\/strong> <\/span>Erase all Details.<\/strong> Details are in another ADD-ON<\/strong> and contain the duration\/animation<\/strong><\/span> name entries associated with each master entry. You can have 1 or more detail-entries per Master.\u00a0 \u00a0A realistic maximum is about 40 to 45 detail entries per Master, although, it is rare or unlikely you will have more than 6.<\/p>\n

Press EraseAllSeqs.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ALL SEQUENCE MASTERS and thus ALL SEQUENCES…HAVE BEEN ERASED !!!

**************
\nSince we Erased<\/strong> <\/span>all Sequences previously, this means that, while we now have 4 Sequence Masters, we have NO<\/span> <\/strong>Sequence Details so we can not play any sequence.<\/p>\n

Press the [DetailsMenu]<\/span><\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is where we can manage our sequence-details for any given Master.\u00a0 \u00a0There are still detail notecards<\/span> <\/strong>present for 3 sequences, unless you removed them.<\/p>\n

C,01,TestHUD,yes

\nEND<\/p>\n

The Range<\/span> entry in the *sequences<\/span><\/strong> notecard inside the Sequencer-Details Engine<\/span> <\/strong>specifies which *seq<\/span><\/strong> notecards to read when choosing the ReadRngeAdd <\/span><\/strong>button. This makes loading faster when we only want to read a few notecards versus re-reading unnecessary notecard sequences.\u00a0 Always check this entry if things are not working out. It is easy to forget.\u00a0 Be sure to SAVE<\/span> <\/strong>the notecard if you have to change it then press Reset<\/span><\/strong>. This will read in any new values for the Range<\/strong> <\/span>entry.\u00a0 Range,1,2<\/span> <\/strong>means we want to read *seq1<\/span><\/strong>, *seq2<\/span><\/strong>, and write their contents (durations and animation names) <\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>to our Sequencer-Engine<\/strong> database.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OR<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don’t mind reading all *seq notecards<\/span><\/span>, even those that have not changed, and you don’t mind paying the extra load-time penalty<\/strong> then choose ReadAndAdd<\/span> <\/strong>button. This will IGNORE<\/strong> the Range restriction and read ALL *seq notecards<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point, we have no details for<\/span> 004<\/span><\/strong>, yet. We will add those using the MENU<\/strong> <\/span>method later.<\/p>\n

*****************
\nNow let’s list the 1st a sequence, 001 (*SeqNick1)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Press <\/span>SelectSeq <\/span>button<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ok, now let’s create our own Sequence Details for Sequence No. 003<\/span><\/strong>, NickName of $MySeqNick<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We don’t need the existing sequence notecards. Rereading them would slow the process, especially when you start having a lot of sequences. We will save them for emergencies should we ever need to rebuild.\u00a0 But we don’t need to remove them.\u00a0 We just change our Range entry in the *sequences notecard from Range,1,2<\/span> <\/strong>to

Example:<\/strong>\u00a0 Your animation is named Bollywood7<\/span><\/strong>.
\nThen, Bollowood7 1<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 will always be deleted UNLESS it is NOCOPY, when using either the CopyFromMai<\/span><\/strong> buttons.<\/p>\n

NOCOPY<\/span> <\/strong>animations NEVER<\/span> <\/strong>get copied between the MAIN HUD<\/strong> and the Sequencer-Details Engine<\/span><\/p>\n

m:ss Seconds\u00a0 Duration Animation<\/p>\n

0:00 – 0.000 – 20.80 – tap dance
\n0:20 – 20.80 – 24.50 – Jive-3
\n0:45 – 45.30 – 20.80 – tap dance
\n1:06 – 66.10 – 24.50 – Jive-3<\/p>\n

It shows a timeline of when each dance starts so you could gauge a sequence lasting close to the length of a particular song that you like.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this example, you can test the other sequences by starting with step 1<\/span><\/strong> and entering 1 or 2 because these sequences already exist.<\/p>\n

****************************************<\/h4>\n

Method #2: Menu Editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We will first add a 4th<\/span> <\/strong>new Sequencer-Master<\/strong> to our 3 existing Sequence Masters.<\/p>\n

Pressing ListAllSeqs<\/strong> on the<\/span> Sequencer-Masters Engine <\/span><\/strong><\/span>should produce:<\/p>\n

001 – $SeqNick1
\n002 – $SeqNick2
\n003 – $MySeqNick
\n004 \u2013 $MyLastNik<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Press the AddNewDetal<\/strong> <\/span>button<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter 4<\/span><\/strong> and Press Submit<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter the information above and Press Submit<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

INFORMATION: No Sequencer-Details already exist for Sequence No: 004 to ADD details to.
\n(this simply means that no Sequencer-Detail entries already exist for Sequence No. 004 .\u00a0 It lets you know this is the 1st time and that you are not adding entries to an existing Sequence No. 004)<\/span><\/strong>
\nCREATING NEW Entries for Sequence Number: 004

\n004-02<\/p>\n

(Note: The first time I entered this i got an error because i made a typo and misspelled the an animation name WARNING: Animation: 2 – JIve-3 was NOT FOUND in the Sequencer-Engine inventory. It should have been Jive-3 not JIve-3. But it added it because it realizes it is ok<\/span> to add entries without actual animations existing in the Sequencer-Engine because you may intend to only test the sequences using only the MainHUD which is<\/span> an option)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Pressing ShowDetail:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sequence\/NickName: 004 – $MyLastNik<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

SID. m:ss Seconds Duration Animation<\/p>\n

01 | 0:0 | 0.0000 | 25.860 | Jive-1
\n02 | 0:25 | 25.860 | 24.500 | JIve-3
\nEnd 0:50 | 50.360<\/p>\n

THATS IT!<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0You are ready to\u00a0TEST<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>Sequence No. 004<\/p>\n

Quick and Easy!<\/h4>\n

****************************************
\nCONFIG<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the actual animations exist in the MAIN HUD<\/strong> and you want to test them in the Sequencer-Engine, <\/strong>then you can use the CopyFromHud<\/strong> button. AllowCopyFromHUD,yes<\/span><\/strong> is the required setting in the *masters<\/span><\/strong> notecard in the Sequencer-Engine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the *masters<\/strong> notecard is another entry.
\nC,07,SendAnimationsToHUDMethod<\/strong><\/span>,copy
\n<\/strong>
\n<\/span>When this value is copy, the original animation REMAINS<\/span><\/strong> in the sequencer-engine after copying<\/p>\n

C,07,SendAnimationsToHUDMethod<\/strong><\/span>,move<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When this value is move<\/span><\/strong>, then the original animation is DELETED<\/span> <\/strong>after the sequencer-engine copies it to the MAIN HUD.<\/span><\/p>\n

****************************************
\nCHANGING<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can change (edit) the Master NickName using the
\nbutton on the Sequencer-Masters Engine Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enter the sequence number, followed by a comma followed by the new NickName (must begin with a $ and be 10 characters or less.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can change\u00a0 a detail entry (SeqID, duration, animation)
\nusing the ChangeSeq<\/span> <\/strong>button on the Sequencer-Details Engine Menu.\u00a0 First you must select a sequence to change using the SelectSeq<\/span> <\/strong>button. Then… press the ChangeSeq<\/span> button on the Sequencer-Masters Engine Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Enter the SeqID<\/strong> then the duration<\/strong> and then the actual animation<\/strong> name.\u00a0 If you only want to change the duration<\/span>, then you can omit the animation name.<\/strong><\/p>\n
