Blackboard Update

Update 102.2 for the (DS) Blackboard is recommended for everyone, but particularly those who run very long contests where many fishers may participate.

To get the update, go to an inworld Bit Bucket location, wear your Blackboard, then accept a new (DS) Blackboard Package. First, you may need to rez the Blackboard/Eraser coalesced object, then pick up the Blackboard so you can later wear it.

An inworld Bit Bucket is located at Diamond Synthesis Pots & Buckets

This update adds the following:

1. Limit on number of fishers.

The number of fishers in a contest is limited to 70. When the limit is reached, the Blackboard displays "No New Fishers" over the scores.

This limit prevents the board from crashing during contests of long duration, when fishers come and go.

2. Limit on title.

The number of characters in the title is limited to 25. You can change the title displayed over the scores by editing the "config" notecard on the Content tab of the Blackboard.

3. Default announce volume is 20m.

In "config", when "shout" is "off", Blackboard chat messages are broadcast within a 20m radius. When "on", Blackboard chat messages are broadcast within a 100m radius. The default is "off".

4. The "time left" display shows days, hours, and minutes in a compact format.

For example, 7d, 6d 23h 59m, 1h, 59m, and 1m.

5. Eraser Scorekeeper prim count reduced from 4 to 2.
