Issues

(Some of these are fixed in 1.1)

• 'Come to Me' should do the llSetPos trick
• Private menus(?)

  • Handle longer distances. Use HUD
  • Handle sim crossings
• Follow Behind does not works; still follows ahead
• Menues always starting extended is a big turn-off for me (Cidri)

• Web interface via HTTP-IN
• Use Menu System
• Use Level 2 system to communicate with HUD
• Internal positions and paths. Notecard config?

  • De-spawn silently
  • Re-spawn automatically at first opportunity
  • Show subtle hints pointing to the nearest spawn area
