Answer me this: If you had to choose just one tool from your inventory, just one gadget, HUD or script you just couldn't be without, what would it be? For me, it would be my MystiTool: An all purpose swiss army knife of functions that help me with the things I need to do on a daily basis.
A few of the things I use on MystiTool are:
- Flight control - no more 'drifting'
- AV Scan - See who's within range
- TP History - Need to go back, but can't remember where you've been? This will sort it!
- Table - Create a table with chairs that magically rez themselves as more guests arrive. I find these invaluable for meetings
- URL catch - Picks out urls from chat and IM's and offers to load them for you
- Sky platform - Need to build, and need some space and privacy? This function will rez a huge platform and shoot you and it, up above the clouds!
Im keen to hear what others are using, and why - Perhaps you're a builder and have a key building gadget you'd like to share. Maybe you're a scripter and have some code tools that you find invaluable. Maybe you're a business owner, or employer and have gadgets that help you run your SL operations.
Do tell us what you consider your "must have" SL gadgets.....
First of all, could you please tell me how to get your tool. That's totally cool.
One gadget I use all the time is one I created based on a tutorial from Dr. Dobbs: http://tinyurl.com/2lbfrg
It's an earing that I call EoN, for "Earing of Names." When you travel somewhere, it whispers the names of everyone there into you ear. (OK, it prints them on the chat history.) When someone new comes in range, it whispers you their name, too.
I'll give a copy to anyone who wants me if you IM me.
I'm also thinking of making a RoN (Ring of Names) which you can just wear on your finger in case an earing is the wrong fashion statement for you. And yes, I could always make it into a HUD.

Well having just gone through complete inventory loss (it's back now thankfully), I can say honestly that the one thing I would miss the most isn't something I use every day but is an irreplaceable item, and that's my Starax wand.
Hey i will check out the wand Giff, thanks! - Im also hearing good things about a "gamma staff" as an anti griefing tool that I will check out shortly..
Gonguin, you can just put 'mystitool', sans quotes in the search box in the client under the 'all' tab - it will show you a place where you can buy, and a group you can join as well as a few related search items. It is a very cool tool, and also has some anti-griefing features.
Funny thing is, i've never been greifed -- maybe i just look tough :)
The MystiTool has to be one of the *best* and most comprehensive gadgets in SL. I can't imagine life inworld without it anymore. The TP history alone has been invaluable.
I agree, MystiTool is just an amazing gadget. That and my AO HUD are about the only two things I can't live without... besides Squawk, of course! hehe XP
