Features
- The system is made of 3 interconnected devices: The Gateway Teleporter (to be placed at the starting point, used to select the destination), the Destination Teleporter (to be rezzed at the landing point/s) and the Telepad (which is automatically rezzed by the Destination Teleporter and is the device that actually teleports the avatars and manages the rentals).
- Each Gateway Teleporter can be connected with one or more Destination Teleporters.
- The Teleporter range covers the whole sim and the sky above.
- The Gateway Teleporter and the Destination Teleporter can be placed in different parcels within the same sim, but the owner of the system must be able to rez objects in all the parcels between the starting point and the landing point.
- The system can be configured so that people are able to use it for free or by paying a fee.
- It’s possible to set a group whose members are able to use the Teleporter for free.

- The Teleporters can be connected to ‘The Sly’ Security System, that ejects the intruders in the destination area when it is not reserved.

Manual & Resources
Basic installation guide
The system is made of 3 interconnected devices:
- The Gateway Teleporter, to be placed at the starting point. It is used to select the destination and it can be connected to several Destination Teleporters.
- The Destination Teleporter, to be rezzed at the landing point/s.
- The Telepad, which is automatically rezzed by the Destination Teleporter and is the device that actually teleports the avatars and manages the rentals.
CONFIGURING THE SYSTEM
- Rez the Gateway Teleporter in a place where the users will be able to easily find it. *
- Edit the configuration notecard inside the Gateway Teleporter and write one or more names of the Destinations that will be reached through this Teleporter. If you want to connect the Gateway to more than one Destination, write one name per line.
- Rez a copy of the Destination Teleporter at the landing point.
- Edit the configuration notecard inside the Destination Teleporter: carefully read the instructions in the notecard and set the configuration parameters as you want. The first parameter in the configuration is DESTINATION_NAME: it must match one of the Destinations you wrote in the notecard of the Gateway Teleporter.
- Steps 3-4 can be repeated as many times as you want, if you want to connect the Gateway Teleporter to more Destination Teleporters. Note that each Destination Teleporter must have a unique DESTINATION_NAME set in the configuration notecard.
- Save the configuration notecard and grant the device the permission to handle your money**.
During the initialization, the Telepad will be automatically rezzed by the Destination Teleporter. - You can edit the “InfoCard” in the contents of the Destination Teleporter: you can write some details about the rental, attach pics of the destination area, write your TOS etc. The InfoCard will be dispensed to the potential users of the Teleporter. Simply delete the InfoCard if you don’t need it. ***
Watch below a videotutorial on how to install ‘The Mighty’ Teleporter.
* The Gateway Teleporter and the Destination Teleporters can be placed in different parcels within the same sim, but the owner of the system must be able to rez objects in all the parcels between the starting point and the landing points.
** Read below the paragraph “About the request to take money from the owner” for more information.
*** You can also rename the InfoCard by changing the second part of its title, after the dash, and resetting the Teleporter. If you remove the notecard from the content of the Teleporter, it will not be dispensed.
Connecting the Teleporters to 'The Sly' Security System
‘The Sly’ Security System can keep the intruders away from the destination area, when the Teleporter is unused and unrented.
It is also possible to make the tenants of the Teleporter able to use ‘The Sly’ Security System to allow and ban other people in the reserved area, by creating a whitelist and a blacklist of the avatars.
To connect ‘The Sly’ Security System to ‘The Mighty’ Teleporters:
- Look for the parameter “#TELEPORTER = NONE” in the configuration notecard of ‘The Sly’ Security System and replace “NONE” with the DESTINATION_NAME you gave to the Destination Teleporter.
- Put the Security Cam in the reserved area, where you placed the Destination Teleporter.
- Rez the Security Cube wherever you want in the same parcel where you rezzed the Security Cam.
Connecting the Teleporters to 'The Magic' Rezzer
‘The Magic’ Rezzer can automatically rez a whole scene (like a skybox, the decor of a room etc.) when someone uses or rents the Teleporter. It can also be configured so that the tenants of the Teleporter can choose which scene should be rezzed and change it at any time during their rental.
To connect ‘The Magic’ Rezzer to ‘The Mighty’ Teleporters:
- Look for the parameter “#TELEPORTER = NONE” in the configuration notecard of ‘The Mighty’ Rezzer and replace “NONE” with the DESTINATION_NAME you gave to the Destination Teleporter.
- Set #USER = OWNER or #USER = GROUP (if you set #USER = ANYONE) you don’t actually need to connect the Rezzer to the Teleporter.
- Put the Rezzer in the reserved area, where you placed the Destination Teleporter.
Plugins
There are some plugins available for ‘The Mighty’ Teleporter, such as the SmartBots plugin and the Prim Counter plugin.
The plugins come with detailed installation and configuration instructions.
Attention: All the plug-ins compatible with ‘The Mighty’ Teleporter are sold by Seedro Lowey. Do not drop any other script made by other creators inside the Teleporters: they can be used to steal your money.
About the request to take money from the owner
Why does the Teleporter ask you to grant the permission to take money from your account?
The alert you get is generated by the viewer and it may be more or less worrying, depending on the software you’re using to connect to Second Life. It is intended to inform you that the device will be able to manage the money in your account and you should grant the permission only if you trust the source.
The Teleporter must be allowed to credit the money to your account, split the money with your managers and give refunds to your clients, when needed.
Don’t worry: the Teleporter will never take your own money, it just takes from your balance the money to split or needed for a refund.
So, when the Teleporter asks you to grant a request, click “Grant” and it will start to read the configuration notecard. Otherwise, it will be disabled.
