Getting Started

   • Friends can invite you (they touch their pet and "invite")
   • You can invite yourself (touch another player's pet or a rexie statue and choose "join")
2. Rez your "Necessity Pack" in an area where you have rez rights
3. Once the Necessity Pack is opened and adds to your SL inventory, right click the folder and "Add to your current outfit".
4. The HUD will automatically display on your screen and you will be guided through the Start-Up application. This is where your Krafties adventure officially begins!!!
   • PLEASE NOTE- IF THE START-UP APPLICATION DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY OPEN FOR YOU WHEN YOU INITIALLY WEAR THE KRAFTIES NECESSITY PACK, PLEASE RE-WEAR YOUR HUD
   • In this application you will see your first Kraftie bond with its elemental soul. After its bonded, you will also be able to name it. Once you complete the start up process, you officially become a Krafties Handler!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING KRAFTIES THAT ARE "GIFTED TO YOU" OR PURCHASED PRIOR TO YOU WATCHING THE START-UP VIDEO. If someone passes you a Kraftie as a gift PRIOR to you watching the start-up video, or you purchase one from a market, that Kraftie will count as your "Free Starter Kraftie" and register you in our database. The Kraftie you see in the start-up video will NOT be a valid Kraftie and will not show in your HUD. If you want your Free Starter Kraftie, please do NOT accept any gifted (transferred) Kraftie or buy one prior to watching the start-up video.

BASIC INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR KRAFTIES HUD

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

• 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 Pick Axe
• 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 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!

Information regarding the application icons:

• The actual HUD can be moved anywhere on your screen.
• If you click the "Krafties" logo on your HUD- you will see a pop up menu that gives you the option to resize. You can make the HUD bigger or smaller depending on your preferences.
• 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. (some players have found that dragging each app icon up to cover the Krafties logo saves space on your viewer)

Once you open an application- the window has the following features-

• 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 can try to open actual application windows.

• Click the desired app to open- you will see a white window pop up in the middle of your viewer. 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.
