DJ Titler is a small gadget for DJs that displays their current tune
above their head. Additionally, it can also announce the song and messages
in local chat.
Every time the song changes, a cute particle effect is shown.
This way everyone in the audience knows immediately what you are playing!
The audience can also wish songs, and the requests will show as a popup menu
in the DJ's viewer.
DJ Titler works with SHOUTcast and icecast. (These are two separate version; please select before purchasing.)
You can adjust the color of the titler, or let it cycle through colors.
Wear the titler. It will attach to your left eyeball. As soon as you attach it, you will see some help messages how to use it in local chat (only you can see this).
Set the IP address of your SHOUTcast stream. To do this simply type
/19 <Your SHOUTcast IP address:Port>
and the titler will start reading the SHOUTcast feed. If your server is
not connected, the titler will display "(Server offline)."
<Your SHOUTcast IP address:Port> is the stream's IP address including the
port number as you would put it into your parcel's media settings, e.g.
http://91.121.125.91:8000.
If you open the address in a browser you should see a blackish page displaying
the current stream information. If you get that, that's the one you need to
feed to the DJTitler.
You can turn the DJTitler on or off (show or hide it) by using the following chat commands:
/19 show /19 hide
DJ Titler can announce the song in local chat. There are 3 modes: say, shout, and off. To configure announcing, type one of the following in local chat:
/19 announce say /19 announce shout /19 announce off
By default, announcing is set to "say."
The titler can also announce messages in local chat. The messages are stored
in the notecard (Messages) found in the DJTitler's inventory. To modify it
you need to locate the DJTitler attached to you (it usually attaches to your
head; for seeing it better, choose "Highlight Transparent" from the "View" menu
of your viewer, then you should see a sphere near your head). Right click it and
chose "Edit," then go to the "Content" tab and open the notecard entitled "Messages."
Each line (that isn't preceded by a '#' which marks a comment line) is a message
that will be said (or shouted) recurringly in local chat.
To enable the messages and recurring song annoucement, you need to use the following
command:
/19 interval <Seconds>where <Seconds> is the number of seconds between two announcements. (The announcement interval can only be a multiple of 10 seconds.) If the interval is set to 0
/19 interval 0recurring annoucement of songs and messages is turned off, i.e. the song will only be announced once when a new song starts, and no messages will be sent.
The stream can be ahead of what you are hearing in SL. Hence, the DJTitler may
announce songs before they are played in SL. To mitigate this, you can set a delay
so that the titler will announce the songs only after that delay.
To set the delay, type
/19 delay <Seconds>
in local chat, where <Seconds> is the number of seconds by which you want to delay the announcement. (<Seconds> are a multiple of 10 seconds; if the number isn't it will be rounded accordingly.)
You can set the name by which the titler announces a song or a message. By default, the name is simply "DJ <Your Name>". You can change it by using
/19 name <New DJTitler Name>
The DJTitler has a built-in facility that lets the audience make requests that will
be shown to the DJ as a popup menu.
As a DJ let your audience know that they can use the chat command
/19 wish <Text of the request, e.g. song title and artist>
to send a request.
There is a pre-defined message in the DJTitler (" If you have a song wish, please let the DJ know by typing "/19wish <song title and artist>" in local chat. ").
To enable sending the message(s) repeatedly after a period of time, use the command
/19 interval <Seconds>
The message is contained in the notecard "Messages" in the DJTitler's inventory.
See above, section 2.1, for specifics.
The DJTitler also provides the facility to let a remote audience, i.e., an audience that isn't in the same region (or "sim") as you, make song requests. To enable this, you have to set up a transmitter at the remote site. You can use your tip jar to do this, for instance, or you can use any other object at the remote location. Type
/19 givescript
in local chat, and the DJTitler will give you its DJTitler script and place it in your
inventory. Drop the DJTitler script in the object you want to use as transmitter.
The object now acts similar to the DJTitler, i.e., you can configure it to announce
songs and display the particle effect just like the DJTitler. The only difference is that
the object won't display any text above it as the titler does.
When someone in the audience wishes a song using the /19 wish command, the song request
will be sent to the DJTitler you are wearing, and displays the popup dialog on your screen.
Make sure that you are wearing the DJTitler when using this feature. Otherwise the popups
won't be displayed.
If you want to use the remote object only for transmitting song requests, you don't need
to configure it (e.g., provide your stream IP, etc.).
In order to activate the remote mode on your DJTitler, you must enable the receiver. Type
/19 receiver on
in local chat to do this.
/19 receiver off
turns the remote receiving mode off again.
Resource usage: activating the remote receiving mode requires one URL.
You can customize the way your DJTitler looks. For instance you can have some ASCII art with your name in it above the song name. To do this, type
/19 title <Your title here>
The title can span multiple lines, use the token \n to insert a line break. A few examples are included in the DJTitler's help notecard.
NOTE: This feature isn't available in the Marquee DJ Titler.
To set titler colors, type
/19 <Color Name>in local chat, where
white, blue, teal, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple.
If you want to let your titler cycle through colors, type
/19 cycle
You can also adjust the colors in a finer way by providing the hue of the color as a number from 0 to 360:
/19 color <Hue>Some values for <Hue>, to give you an idea what the color codes mean, are
| 0 | red |
| 60 | yellow |
| 120 | green |
| 180 | cyan |
| 240 | blue |
| 300 | pink |
Every time the song changes, DJTitler displays a cute particle effect. You can turn it on or off by typing
/19 particles on /19 particles off
in local chat. By default, particles are turned on.
You can also start the particle effect manually by typing
/19 particles
in local chat. This also works if the particles have been turned off.
You can change the particles' colors. By default, the particles start with a random color and do a transition to the titler's color. By typing
/19 particles color <StartColor> <EndColor>
you can set both the start and end colors.
<StartColor> and <EndColor> can be
white, gray, black, blue, teal, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple),random for a new random color for each particle effect,titler to match the titler's text color.For instance,
/19 particles color red random
lets the particles start in red and transform to a random color.
You can change the channel (by default, 19) to which the titler listens to by typing
/19 channel <New Channel Number>
in local chat. After setting a new channel number, all the channel numbers "/19" in the chat commands listed in this help are to be replaced by the appropriate, newly selected channel. This includes the audience channel. Make sure that the messages contained in the message notecard in the DJTitler's inventory reflect this change.
