HUD stands for Heads Up Display

The Krafties HUD v4.0.
Buttons in order: Home, Inventory, Creature, Wiki

Welcome to your BRAND SPANKIN NEW KRAFTIES HUD! This wonderful creation is full of bells and whistles and is quite different from the UI (user interface) of your v2.2 HUD. As with anything new, it will take some time getting to know your way around the HUD, and getting the "feel" of how to use it. Have patience. After a couple of "test drives", you should be comfortable enough to take this baby around the Grand Prix race-track with ease! EAGER TO GET STARTED?

HOW TO WEAR YOUR HUD

To wear your HUD, unpack your Krafties - Necessity Pack v4.0
Right click the folder and "add to your current outfit"
- This will attach your Creature Attachment, Tool:Right Hand, and Krafties HUD v4.0 to your avatar
- The "Creature Attachment" is the object that will morph into your active Krafties creature
- The "Tool:Right Hand" is that object that will morph into either your Standard Net or Pickaxe
- The HUD will attach to the top left corner of your monitor. You can add the hud to any location on your monitor. Just detach and click "Attach to hud" , then choose desired location to attach HUD

USING YOUR KRAFTIES HUD

"Preparing App", just wait a few seconds and touch window again

This will take a little practice. The HUD is interactive and the more practice you have at opening the various apps and features, the better you will get. It will become second nature. Lets get started!

Click the "HOME" icon- a white window will pop up

Customizing HUD layout

The layout of your app windows is as follows:

Bar across the top of the window (color depends on the app you have open)- You can click on this bar and drag the HUD to any location on your screen
Grey icon (top right) - Minimizes the window
Red icon (top right) - Closes the window
Grey icon (bottom right) - Clicking and dragging this icon will resize your window. Your entire screen will appear faded. This happens during the resizing process. It will disappear when you let go of the icon.

Now you will open the actual app window. Follow the instructions to open and activate the window. The window will appear shaded. Double click the window and it will come into focus (activate). If you are having trouble activating the window- click the sky or the ground, then click the window again. After you bring the window in "focus", you can navigate as desired.

If you wish to customize the size of the actual HUD, click the Krafties logo and you will be given an option to resize the HUD via a pop up menu.

The individual Icons under the KRAFTIES logo act as the icons do for your cell phone apps. You can click them and drag them to any desired location on your monitor.

Language Options

There has been inbuilt into the apps a translation option which you can choose from a large list of languages in the top right corner of the app.

This translation feature is not perfect, but it might come in handy

OH NO! APPS WON'T LOAD? Viewing your HUD in a browser

In the wonderful world of technology, sometimes we find ourselves not being able to use it in the way it was intended. Some of our Krafties Adventurers are having trouble loading the HUD apps. If you are encountering this issue, click the Krafties logo on your HUD, and you will see an option to "Enable Links". Clicking this option will allow you to view and interact with your apps in the SL browser or an external browser.

CREATURE App (grey face icon)

The Creature app

This application resembles the former "web view" page that was accessible in your 2.2 HUD. The main window shows your creatures statistics. Along the sides, you wil see "STATS", "SPELLS" AND "UNLOCKING". Double click any of those tabs and a sub-menu will expand. Have fun navigating the plethora of information available in this app :) Yes you can set your creaturs spells directly from this app :)
