Gold/Bronze Pot Script Update 108e

Script update 108e for the (DS) Gold Pot and (DS) Bronze Pot adds a new feature. To get the update, go to an inworld Bit Bucket location, wear your Gold Pot or Bronze Pot, then wear the Bit Bucket that is delivered to you.

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

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Blung/229/30/21

This feature addresses the case where the pot is in a group to prevent autoreturn, however, the owner needs to prevent group members from accessing the pot menu.

NEW FEATURES (build 108e)

1. Pot admins must be enabled on the "config" notecard.

If you want non-owners to access the pot menu, add the following line at the beginning of the config notecard.

allow admins: on

By default, only the owner can access the menu.

Please see the "How do I add admins?" section of the Gold/Bronze Pot Guide for more information on allowing others to administer your pot. A new Guide is given to you when you update scripts.
