Stream switcher 2.1

Today I released in my Marketplace store an improved version of a script I wrote long ago for my own usage, as I realized it could be useful to others, called Stream Switcher.

As the title suggests, its job is to enable the user to select a "station" from the menu and set it as the land music stream.

The stations themselves are defined as a name and address in a simple straightforward notecard called ".stations".

Another notecard called ".options" contains, well, options for you to set the access rights and fine-tune the hover text displayed when a station is selected. This is shown on the picture below.

The resulting menu is automatically formatted into pages of 9 buttons as shown on the next screen capture. Click on a button to activate the corresponding station, it could not be easier!

As always, suggestions and requests are always considered and constructive criticism is welcome. Do not hesitate to contact me!

Free: T-O-M Benches

Today I finally took the time to put together a free object now available at Oggy's Scripted Items marketplace store: the T-O-M Benches.

As the name suggests, it is mainly a set of benches (4 of them) arranged around a simple table. Beyond the available single and couple poses on each bench, the main feature is a theme menu where you can select a few predefined appearance sets (called themes) and combine them to fit your taste :

• texture: 7 choices
• brightness: bright, dim or dark
• layout: round, facing or rectangle
• light: 6 colors + OFF (may require the "advanced lighting model" in your viewer).

Some of these combinations are particularly remarkable when setting the "sun position" to midnight, of course.

This object is completely free and also serves as a demonstration of the capabilities of the Theme-O-Matic, also available at Oggy's Scripted Items marketplace store and discussed in a previous article from this blog.

For more information (full manual, tutorial videos) about the Theme-O-Matic, please refer to its dedicated website.

Below you will find more screen captures that show several setup possibilities for the T-O-M Benches.
