Waypoints Navigator Upgrades

The Waypoints Navigator add-on turns your Personal Bot into a 24/7 automatic walking tour-guide for your land with ability to sit, stand, walk, run and talk, using animations and sounds as it goes.

We have implemented new changes to make Waypoints Navigator  add-on even easier to use.

Add New Commands

Adding new commands in the middle of a sequence can now be achieved by hovering your mouse over a sequence step arrow to reveal a plus sign, once you click on the plus sign you can access the menu to insert new Waypoints commands.

 

 

Add Section Comments

Add comments to your Waypoints by clicking the plus arrow and selecting “section comment” under the Helpers heading, use this to name groups of your commands to make them easier to use and identify.

 

 

Sticky Menu

A sticky menu has also been added for users who have a long list of commands, the menu will activate once you scroll and the original menu becomes unavailable to access.

 

You can purchase the Waypoints Navigator add-on from our store

Today’s bot outages (the techy post)

Some bots went offline today, which led to web account outages. The reason was one of our bot servers which has died because of a hard drive failure. The affected bots were quickly moved to a nearby server… which got crashed under the extra load, too. This was unexpected.

The good news is that while our server team was trying to reanimate these machines, the development team managed to develop the system which allows SmartBots to quickly detach (or, say, temporary forget) any set of broken bots. This will also help during SL rolling restarts, when large random sets of bots fall offline.

We are sorry if your bots were offline today. Everything is running smoothly now!

P.S. We are going to completely replace the second, unreliable server tomorrow. All bots are expected to stay online during the migration.

Advanced Notices now allows custom scheduling!

Advanced Notices add-on is designed to enhance your business by sending important notices and announcements using a calendar-based interface.

Recently we conducted a survey asking for feedback regarding the Advanced Notices add-on, as always our users were kind enough to provide very useful feedback. Thank you!

We added a feature to allow custom scheduling, when you visit your Advanced Notices add-on

1. Visit your Advanced Notices and create new notice
2. Enable the Repeat option
3. You will notice the Custom option that you can click.

This option will allow you to enter your own schedule, which our system will recognize, parse it with our scheduling and give you the confirmation.

 

To find out more information and what kind of scheduling rules you can currently enter, Visit Custom Schedule Documentation

You can purchase the Advanced Notices add-on from our add-on store – if you need any help, feel free to contact our 24/7 Live Chat Support
