How to Install the MLPV2~RLV Add-On

1. Check to make sure your object has the right animation system This Add-On will only work with items using the MLPV2 animation system.

The MLPV2 system is the scripting that allows a furniture piece to rez poseballs and generate menus. If your item does not rez poseballs, you know for sure it’s not MLPV2. If your Item does rez poseballs from a menu, then it may be MLPV2 or it may be based on MLPV2’s predecessor, MLP, and will need updating. Or it may be based on another system entirely, such as xPose or Sensations, in which case the add-on will not work. The easiest way to tell if your item is using an MLPV2-based engine is to start it up and then click it to get a pop-up window. The first menu window that comes up should tell you the version of the MLPV2 system (If it’s an MLPV2). If your item says MLPV2.0 or higher, you have an MLPV2 and you’re all set.

MLPV2 Main Menu. Note that it says MLPV2.X in heading. If your item says this, you're all set!

This is an older MLP Menu. It does not mention that it's an MLP. This needs an upgrade to MLPV2

If this doesn’t work for some reason, you can always look inside your object. Just click it, pick edit from the pop-up menu, and then go to the contents tab on the editing window. Look at the items in the contents window. You should see, among other things, notecards that say .MENUITEMS, .POSITIONS, as well as scripts that say ~poser.

Contents For MLPV2. Note there are more than two ~poser scripts.

Contents for MLP. Note the scripts are called ~pose1, ~pose2, not ~poser1, ~poser2 You will need to upgrade.

If your item uses MLP, it can be easily upgraded to MLPV2. If your item uses another system, then this will not work.   If your item is a plain MLP, then you need to upgrade to MLPV2, following the simple instructions at this link.

2. Prepare your item for easy installation.

Rez the box entitled MLPV2~RLV Add-On Box, Open it, and save the contents to inventory. (Click the item, choose Open from the pop-up. Look in your Recent Items in your inventory to find the items you just added to your inventory.) Rez the MLPV2 item you are upgrading, click on it,  and then choose Edit, then go to the Contents Tab of the Edit Window. Locate a script in your Recent Items called **MLPV2~RLV Receiver Script and drag it into the Contents Tab of the MLPV2 item you are upgrading. Once you see the script in your Contents Tab, your item is ready for installation.
