1. What is the Gorean Meter (GM)?
The GM is a piece of software that basically monitors how often you get hit in a combat and what level of health remains.The GM Dispenser can be found at the arrival skybox.
You will receive a folder containing various items.
Note: The version number may change over time.
On each sim there is a GM-server. It controls things like:
- Aiding permitted y/n?
- Damage caused by falling y/n?
- Damage caused by diving y/n?
- etc.
2. Setting up the Gorean Meter
- Pick your copy of the GM from the dispenser, drag the box to the ground and open it. Note the folder name it gives to you (Nearby Chat)
- Find the GM Folder
- GM X.xx
- GM HUD X.xx
By touching it you get an additional menu with many controls that shall not be covered in this basic introduction.
If you get caught, it lets you fall and traps you in a cage for a preset time, permitting the winner to potentially tie and leash you.
There is also a "RLV" version of Gorean Meter, the GM RLV X.xx
Please note that you must have RLV enabled for this to work, or it will fall back to OOC all the time.
The RLV version can "act up" on occasion, if you experience problems, use the non-RLV version.
Important:
In the folder that is containing the GM components, you also find notecards. One of those will be "GM 4.x Commands".
There are many commands that let you further personalize your GM or use keyboard shortcuts.
The most important command is
/12 meter label [your label]
So "/12 meter label Warrior" will give you the GM Title ~Warrior~
More good info on usage of the GM can be found in the various notecards contained in the "GM 4.69" inventory folder!
