_____General Use_________________________
This plugin allows you to display the Most Tipped Staff Members at your place
in the form of Boards or objects. This can create friendly competition between
staff members to try and out earn one another or can be used for incentives,
contests, etc.
You may also use Web Tools to display stats on your own website or blog.
_____Setup Instructions____________________
Rez your included "License Box" Object.
Touch (click on) the License Box object.
You will see a dialog menu with all of your Tipping Server Channels. (If you do
not have a channel yet you must first set up a Tipping Server (sold separately.)
Select the server channel you want to apply this plugin to.
Once plugin installed the License Box will vanish. You may only apply this
plugin to one (1) channel.
You should now be able to use any of the included Most Tipped object styles and
select the channel from dialog menu on rez.
_____Boards and Objects___________________
Included in the original package should be 4 different objects that can be
used to display the Most Tipped. These are modifiable so they can be resized.
See below for more options and customization tips.
Keep one in the employee only area for staff to see (can be resized smaller) or
display it publicly. It's up to you.

- This is the main design. It is a board that displays staff members' profile
pics as well as prim text for their names and amount totals.
● Most Tipped [17 Prim] Text

like a Contest Board.)
● Most Tipped [7 Prim] Images

displayed but using floating text to save prims.
● Most Tipped [1 Prim] Float Text
- You can use the scripts in this object in any object you want! This will

RESET (Owner Only)
This will reset the scripts. You will need to select tipping channel again (as
if you re-rezzed object.)
_____Web Settings / Exclude List ____________
Select 'Web Tools' button from Plugin Board's touch menu to visit http://www.asdwebtools.com/tipping.php in your browser.
Go to the PLUGINS section of your Tipping Server's web tools. Here you can edit Exclude Lists and Create Badges to display Most Tipped on your website or blog.
You may list unlimited Avatars and Categories to exclude from the most tipped counts. Avatars listed will not be shown on plugin boards. This is in case you would like to exclude certain employees or owners from appearing on the boards.
_____Customizing__________________________
You may resize the object as needed. It can be really big or even really
small.
Touch the Object for Appearance Menus, (see above for more information.)
Do NOT link or unlink the multi-prim versions. This may cause them to break.
You may use the scripts in the 1 Prim version in any object you have modify
rights to. To do this you must first OPEN the Most Tipped [1 Prim] object
in-world and Copy the Contents to your Inventory, (like unpacking a box.) Then
move the scripts from your Inventory to the new object to use. Reset the scripts
before first use.
In the board objects that show profile pictures on them you can replace the default textures inside the base prim with your own textures. They must be the same names as before: "noimage" and "norecord." After replacing the textures you MUST select "Reset" from Touch Menu to load.
_____Helpful Tips & FAQ's_________________
If your objects are not working:
● Check to be sure you have permission to
Run Scripts on the land parcel. Be sure the object is set to the right group if
only Group is allowed to Run Scripts.
● Open object in EDIT and click on TOOLS at
very top of screen, and then choose "Reset Scripts in Selection."
Deeded Objects will not work correctly.
To save on lag during an event when you want to keep the Refresh Rate fast like
at 5 minutes, you can set the Mode to DAY or MONTH. If using boards with
pictures it will cut down on image loading time in your SL viewer especially.
