Restrained Life Tutorial

Real Restraint / Restrained Life Scripts

Written for 1.12, not current.

NOTE: please see this post about different viewers.

What are they?

The technical official explanation:

This viewer, codename “RestrainedLife” is an attempt at enhancing the experience of people who practice BDSM in Second Life. It is used jointly with simple scripts made to use its features in-world, such as making an attached object undetachable, preventing chat and such. An API (Application Programming Interface, a text file) is provided so that every content creator can create their own scripts to interface their own items to the viewer and use its features.

Now that is out of the way, I highly suggest that you reads Marines blog entry on the RestrainedLife viewer:

Where to get them?

If you want to know more, or even give it a try you need to do a couple of things. You need to pop down to Marine’s store in PAK, and click on the rotating cube on the left. When you click on that cube, you are given a folder containing some scripts and a Readme note card that explains it all.

Basically, the RealRestraint products are still sold without the scripts so you have to add them yourself, according to which script does what. See next section.

However to be complete; we give you below the download locations for each operating system. (See also the Links section on the right)

Which scripts are there?

&Viewer: this one tells the RR viewer to set that object so it can’t be removed when you lock it. Put it in every Real Restraint you own! This includes all the individual parts (Right and left elbows and left wrist for shackles, for example), not just the main pieces (Right wrist, where the core scripts are for the arm restraints).

NoSendChat: This one tells the viewer to block your outgoing chat, with the exception of short emotes (Long ones are cut off). Put it in the gag.

NoSendIM: Similar to NoSendChat, but it blocks outgoing IMs (It doesn’t let ANY emotes through, unlike NoSendChat). Put it in the gag as well. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.

NoReceiveChat: This one tells the viewer to block any INCOMING main chat when the restraint is locked. Like NoSendChat though, it lets short emotes in, and cuts off long ones. Marine says to put it in the slave crate (I never use the crate myself,so…). I have this in my iso suit’s ball hood. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.

NoReceiveIM: This one blocks all incoming IMs, and like NoSendChat, it doesn’t allow ANYTHING through, even short emotes. Like NoRecieveChat, Marine recommends putting it in the crate, and I have it in the ballhood. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.

NoTP: This script has a couple of different functions. First, it blocks pretty much all teleports when the restraint is locked, including landmarks, TPs offered by friends, etc.. Second, it also blocks you from sitting on anything more than 1.5 meters away, i.e. sit teleporting. Put this script in the right ankle shackle; that will make the ankle shackles block teleports when locked. NOTE: *Allow can change this scripts behavior slightly, to be explained later.

*Allow: In short, this script allows your keyholder to set him or herself as an exception to the restrictions placed by some of the restraints. For example, putting this in your gag while NoSendIM is installed will allow your keyholder to allow you to IM her. If in the ankle shackles with NoTP installed, it will allow her to offer you TPs. Put this in any restraint marked with a NOTE above. if you go by the recommendations, it will go in the gag,right ankle cuff, and slave crate.

*Edit: This script allows the wrist shackles (or another restraint if you prefer :P) to block you from editing or rezzing items when locked (eliminating one of the last bastion of subbie cheating :P). It needs to be activated before it takes effect; look for it in the plugins portion of the arm shackles menu. Put this in the right wrist shackle.

Hope you enjoy yourself, we certainly will!!!
