The Fury Hybrid HUD 1.1

The Fury

Getting Started

The Fury is an add-on HUD that combines the functions of the Thirst and Rage HUDs into a single HUD. It will not register you with the Bloodlines system, and does not include Fangs or Claws, or the Nexus object which you need to complete bite and claw attacks and do many other functions. In order to use the Fury HUD, you will need to own either the Thirst or Rage HUD to register for Bloodlines and get the fangs and / or claws and Nexus.

You can purchase the Fury at the following locations in Second Life, from the vendor in the Bloodlines store: Bloodlines Midland, Bloodlines East, and Bloodlines Frontier. After purchasing the Fury, you will be delivered a crate. To open the crate, you must rez it in-world by dragging it from your inventory to the ground, or right-clicking and selecting 'wear'. Then, you can left-click on it to unpack it in your inventory. When you unpack it, you will find the following items:

  1. HUD [Hybrid::Bloodlines]

Heads-Up Display (HUD)

Your HUD is what you will primarily use to play Bloodlines. It contains tools, settings, and buttons that you can use to control your fangs and claws and interact with other players. To use your HUD, find it in your inventory, right-click on it, and select 'wear'. By default, it attaches to the bottom HUD position, but you can attach it to any HUD position. You should see it appear at the bottom of your screen

    3. Registered Bloodlines player: registered Bloodlines players are represented by a symbol that indicates their status. You can find out more about statuses here: http://slbloodlines.com/guide
    4. Unknown: If someone shows 'unknown', they may be wearing a garlic necklace, or may have been banned.
    5. Destroyed: if someone is destroyed, they have let their Vital Blood drop to zero, and have lost all of their souls. Try offering them some blood and see if they want to join your clan!
    Radar also shows soul status. There are four possible soul statuses:
    1. Held: this soul currently belongs to someone.

    3. Limbo: this soul has been claimed with a bite, but has not been transferred yet. It can be rescued with the wormwood potion.

You can change your family name at any time, as long as it isn't already taken, and all members of your family will be set to this name.
    7. Free Minion: remove a minion from your minion list, without banning them. They will be able to set you as their liege again if they want.
  7. Text Stats: Use this button to get stats on yourself or those around you. Pressing this button will give you a dialog with a list of names to choose from, one of which will be your name. When you select a name, it will give you text stats if your stat mode is set to 'text', and a web profile link if your stat mode is set to 'web'. An additional option on this menu is 'TYPE NAME'. Use this option to type in the name of an avatar to get stats on, in case they are not online, it can save you the trouble of going to the website to get their stats.
