Thank you for using the Tantra Pill Pack. This object is designed to work with your Tantra Total Woman HUD to enhance the experience when using birth control pills and also provides enhanced role play options.
Using the Tantra Pill Pack
To use the pill pack, just rez it from inventory, or wear it from inventory. Or add the HUD version to one of your HUD slots. When you first use the pill pack, be sure to touch the object and click Settings in the menu. There is an option to set Sabotage Access, described below, but for now, this option determines who, if anybody, can potentially tamper with your pills.
The settings are independent for each copy you have. So when you rez out a copy, you should check to make sure that this setting is the one you want. When rezzed, if the security is set to public, then a warning will appear in your local chat.
Once rezzed or worn, the pill pack will attempt to sync with your Tantra Total Woman HUD. It will sync periodically when you are in the same region as the pill pack. The pill pack is not designed to sync with multiple Tantra Total Woman HUDs. It will sync with any Tantra Total Woman HUD that you wear near it and will show the most recent sync. If you want to use the pill pack with multiple Tantra Total Woman HUDs, see the Multi-HUD Setup section below.
Taking the Pill
The pill pack will show which pills you have taken, or tossed, during the current cycle. To take one of the pills, first be sure that you have told the Tantra Total Woman HUD that you are using the pill, by clicking the Birth Control button on your HUD and select Start Pill from the menu.
Once you have done that, you can either use the Tantra Total Woman HUD’s Birth Control button or just touch the pill pack. In both cases, you’ll receive a menu with the options of Take Pill or Toss Pill.
For people that sometimes log in with a text only viewer, there is also an option to take or toss the pill using a chat command. If you have the pill pack rezzed nearby, or if you are wearing the pill pack as a HUD, then you can type /1 Take Pill or /1 Toss Pill to take or toss your pill. If you are under a Realistic Pill Only restriction, then the pill pack cannot be worn as a HUD to use the text commands. The command is case insensitive and the following alternative commands will also work:
| Language | Take Pill | Toss Pill |
|---|---|---|
| French | prendre pilule | jeter pilule |
| German | pille nehmen | pille wegwerfen |
| Italian | ingoiare pillola | scartare pillola |
| Spanish | tragar píldora tragar pildora | tirar píldora tirar pildora |
Sabotaging the Pill
Anytime the pill pack is rezzed in world, but not when worn, it can be touched by anyone. They will receive a menu that will show them when the pill pack was last synced. If the Sabotage Access allows it, they will have the option of attempting to sabotage your pill.
If they decide to make the attempt, depending on how close you are to the pack, you may get a message in local chat, that you have noticed that the pack was tampered with, or that you caught them red handed. Only you will see this message, so you are free to role play it however you like. The closer you are when the attempt was made the more likely the attempt will be unsuccessful.
If you receive the tamper message, the pill pack will assume that you replaced the tampered version with a new pack and your pill is still effective. At least from that attempt.
However, if the attempt succeeds, then you will have no way of knowing if your pills are effective or not. There is no indication on the Tantra Total Woman HUD or the Tantra Pill Pack, to warn you. Once the pills have been successfully sabotaged, the effect will last until the start of the next cycle. In the next section, you will learn how you can protect yourself.
Note to Saboteurs : Successfully sabotaging the pill is not a guarantee that it will happen. It depends on her coming back to the region, while wearing the Tantra Total Woman HUD, in the same cycle, before the sabotage syncs up with the HUD.
Realistic Pill Option/Restriction
You can decide to only allow taking/tossing the pill using the Tantra Pill Pack. You also will not be able to take/toss your pill if you are wearing the Tantra Pill Pack as a HUD. It has to be either rezzed in-world or worn as an in-world attachment. If you set this restriction, you will no longer be able to use the Birth Control menu on your Tantra Total Woman HUD to take or toss the pill until the option has been turned off.
To set the option, select the Settings / RLV Settings / Real Pill from your Tantra Total Woman HUD. Once set, you will only be able to turn this option off while RLV is disabled.
If you have a Master/Mistress set up on your Tantra Total Woman HUD, they can also set this restriction.
Restricting Who Can Sabotage Your Pill
Some people may like the idea of having the pill pack just to keep track of which pills they have taken or not taken, but may not want to risk have someone tampering with their pills. Clicking the pill pack and selecting Settings, then Sabotage Access from the menus, will allow you to restrict who can potentially sabotage your pills. The settings are:
- Public. Anybody can tamper with your pills, unless they are on are on the Blocked List,
- Named Only. Only people that are listed on the Allowed List can tamper with your pills.
- None. No one can tamper with your pills.
To add someone to the Blocked List, go to the Settings / Add Blocked menu command. In the dialog menu, enter their UUID. Similarly to add someone to the Allowed List, use the Add Allowed menu command. You can have a total of 50 users combined in the Allowed/Blocked Lists. Depending on your access settings, only one of the lists is active at any time. If you are set to Public, then only the Blocked List is active. If you are set to Named Only, then only the Allowed List is active.
To remove someone from the lists, use the Remove User command and enter their UUID. You can see a list of everyone that is on the lists by using the List Users command.
Note: If you have multiple pill packs, you will need to update the Allowed/Blocked Lists in each one or use the Push Settings command to update the other pill packs. The Push Settings command is discussed in the next section.
The other way you can protect your pills is to avoid leaving them rezzed out on a nightstand or next to the bathroom sink. Wearing the pack, only you can access the menus.
Lastly, for someone to access the menu, they must be within 2 meters of it. So if your property prevents people from entering your property, they would not be able to tamper with your pills, assuming you have them rezzed more than 2 meters from any parcel boundary.
Pushing Settings to Additional Pill Packs
If you are using multiple pill packs, you can update the settings in the additional copies to mirror the one where you have set up the Allowed/Blocked Lists and access settings. To do this, first make your changes in one pill pack. Once you have the settings correct, rez this copy of the Tantra Pill Pack near the one you want to transfer the settings. Then use the Settings / Push Settings menu command.
Note: If you have users in the receiving pill pack that are not in the sending pill pack, those names will not be removed during the Push Settings process. You may want to also use the Push Settings command in the receiving pill pack to add any additional names to the original pill pack. Also, if the user already exists in both pill packs, then their access level will be set to the one in the pushing pill pack.
Multi-HUD Setup
Out of the box, the Tantra Pill Pack is set up to be used by women with only one Tantra Total Woman HUD. If you use multiple copies of the Tantra Total Woman HUD, the pill pack will attempt to sync with the one you are currently wearing. This can cause issues, especially with sabotage attempts.
However, the Tantra Pill Pack can be set up to sync with only one copy of your Tantra Total Woman HUD. To do this, you have to edit the pill pack and the Tantra Total Woman HUD’s description field with an ID number. The ID number has to be a unique number, other than 0, only shared with the Tantra Total Woman HUD, and any copies of the pill pack you want to sync with that HUD.
If the pill pack is set up to only sync with one Tantra Total Woman HUD, the pill pack menu will show which ID number has been assigned to it.
Support
There are two Tantra groups for you to join. Tantra Support is for general support questions. I know some people do not like to receive frequent IM Spam, so you can also join Tantra Announcements. Tantra Announcements should not be used for support questions. This group is used by Tantra employees to announce upgrades and special programs to our customers.
If you have any questions, you can contact either Tex Evans, or one of the support staff listed in my profile, online or via email at tex_evans@yahoo.com.
