Environment Variables
- showSoundZones - green “lasers” - Every PAZ, house, spa hut and some other buildings have these around them.
- showPermissionZones - no obvious effect
- showOtherZones - blue “lasers” - Experiments with mystic_1 leave us with the current theory that these are Environment Zones.

- showhcphysics - white cloudy spheres around hoverboard/hoverbike, overlay of: (current speed, max speed??, boost)

envtestfile.txt - Environment dump file. If this file exists when the ThereClient loads, the environment variables in the file will be set.
- ENV_SAVE - Saves all enviroment variables to “envtestfile.txt” in the \ThereClient\Resources directory.
- ENV_LOAD - Loads the environment variables from “envtestfile.txt” in the \ThereClient\Resources directory.
My current envtestfile.txt:

DownloadHud
A typical DownloadHud display might look like this:
Downloads 1 Q'd 0 BW 32000 2054 s/av/mt0/lb/98382741_1.jpg.dds
Where:
- Downloads 1 means that I am currently downloading one thing, such as a texture of a tshirt that is visible to me for the first time.
- Q’d 0 means that I have zero downloads “queued” up for immediate download.
- 2054 in this case is a number which represents the number of bytes left in this download. This number counts down to zero.
- The s/av/mt0/lb/98382741_1.jpg.dds part shows what I am downloading. In this case it’s a pair of pants for a male avatar.
MusicHud - with this variable set, as you approach a loudspeaker, jukebox or other music source in There the MusicHud window will appear at the top of the screen. The window is non-movable, purple and arrives across the top of the ThereClient window. This display will vanish as you move away from the sound source (how far?)
Initially the window display will look like this:
Station: Pulse Radio URL: [http://www.feelthepulse.net](http://www.feelthepulse.net)
It will immediately change to look like this:
Station: Pulse Radio Song: Aerosmith - Janie's Got A Gun
Notes: Sometimes the song title changes to the next song before the current song ends. Is this due to buffering?
The UserCamera+ app is activated with the flipCamera environmental variable. A small window external to the ThereClient opens with the following clickable words:
Default 1stP 3rdPfnt 3rdPTop Zoom+ Zoom- FOV+ FOV- Raise Lower RotX+ RotX- Lock View Tight Loose Default - Original POV when UserCam+ is activated 1stP - First Person View 3rdPfnt - Body Mirror View 3rdPTop - Standard View Zoom+ - Moves Camera closer to the avatar Zoom- - Moves Camera farther from the avatar FOV+ - No Effect (greyed out) FOV- - No Effect (greyed out) Raise - Rotates camera above the avatar Lower - Rotates camera below the avatar RotX+ - Rotates camera counterclockwise around the avatar RotX- - Rotates camera clockwise around the avatar Lock - Locks Camera in place. Avatar can move, even off screen, away from the camera. Can reattach with "Default" button. View - Locks Camera in place. Avatar can move, even off screen, away from the camera. Cannot reattach without client restart. Tight - No Effect Loose - No Effect
From IanYoung: the localHostAddr looks like an IP address expressed as an (Intel) integer value. To decode, convert to hex (0400A8C0) reverse byte order (C0A80004) add dots (C0.A8.00.04) and convert to decimal (192.168.0.4). Looks like you have a router doing NAT and a local network?
From MescadThere Yes, in fact that’s exactly right. The computer with There installed is 192.168.0.4 on my network. Thanks
