Getting started
- Wear the MCT Collar on your neck and allow it to finish starting.
- Touch the Collar to open the main menu. It shows the Wearer, Primary Owner, number of Owners, and your access level.
- For the initial Owner setup, the Wearer selects Set Owner and follows the selection and acceptance dialogs.
- Enable RLV/RLVa in a compatible viewer if you want to use RLV features.
Already have a finished Collar? Wear it directly. The separate Installer is for adding MCT scripts to your own modifiable Collar model. See the installation steps.
Install MCT into your own Collar
The MCT Collar Installer adds the system to a Collar model that you provide. The Installer does not include an empty Collar model. Finished MCT Collars sold by MoonChild Tools are already installed and do not need these steps.
Before you begin
- Use your own Copy and Modify Collar model and keep an untouched backup.
- Work in a region where you can rez objects.
- The model must be a linked object with a root prim and at least one suitable child prim for the leash.
- The Installer and empty Collar must belong to the same avatar. Leave the Collar rezzed, not worn.
Put each item in the right place
| Location | Required setup |
|---|---|
| Chosen child prim | Rename it exactly LeashPoint. Its centre is where the visible leash begins. |
| Collar root prim contents | Add only mct_collar_installer_receiver as a script before installation. |
| Nearby on the ground | Rez the MCT Collar Installer within 5 m of the empty Collar. |
Step by step
- Rez a fresh backup copy of your empty linked Collar model. In Edit mode, turn on Edit Linked and select the child prim where the leash should start.
- Name that child prim LeashPoint. Position it carefully. Use exactly one prim with this name, and do not give the name to the root prim.
- Open the root prim's Contents and place mct_collar_installer_receiver there. It must be the only script in the empty Collar before installation.
- Rez the MCT Collar Installer next to the prepared Collar. Keep them within 5 m and remove any other prepared empty Collars nearby.
- Touch the Installer. It finds the Collar and starts transferring scripts, animations, and Owner Kit items. Watch the particle stream and percentage hovertext. The final check displays Verifying... 100%.
- Wait for both completion messages: “MCT Collar: Installation completed successfully. The Collar is starting.” and “MCT Collar Installer: Installation completed successfully. The Collar is ready.” The temporary Receiver deletes itself automatically.
- Take the completed Collar into your inventory, attach it to your neck, let it finish starting, and touch it to open the menu. You can then set up an Owner.
During installation: Do not move, wear, take, reset, or delete either object. Script loading can take roughly a minute. Wait for the completion messages before wearing the Collar.
If installation stops
| Message or problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| No compatible empty Collar found | Confirm the same owner, a distance of 5 m or less, and a running Receiver in the root prim. The Collar must be rezzed. |
| More than one compatible Collar found | Remove the extra empty Collars and try again with only one nearby. |
| LeashPoint missing or duplicated | Check the exact spelling on one child prim. The root prim must not be named LeashPoint. |
| Incomplete installation or timeout | Do not wear the incomplete copy. Start again with a fresh backup of your empty model and keep both objects stationary. |
| Missing item or permission error | Use a fresh copy of the original Installer. If it repeats, contact MoonChild Tools with the complete error message. |
After an Owner is registered, the Collar offers the Owner Kit automatically. A registered Owner can request another copy through Access → Get Owner Kit.
The main menu
Wearer: Example Wearer
Primary Owner: Example Owner
Owners: 1
Access: Wearer
Public Mode: OFF
Where do I find each feature?
- Access manages Owners, Trusted users, Lock, and Runaway.
- RLV opens the Manager, Relay, Restrictions, and Force Sit controls.
- Follow and Leash control movement and the leash.
- Add-ons opens Cuffs, Blindfold, Gag, and Focus.
- More leads to Appearance, Wardrobe, Speech, and About.
Some buttons only appear when your role permits the action.
Owners and access
The Wearer sets the first Owner with Set Owner. The Primary Owner can then manage additional Owners through Access → Add Owner and Rem Owner. A selected avatar must accept the Owner request.
Wearer:
Example Wearer
Primary Owner:
Example Owner
Owners: 2
Public Access: OFF
Key controls
- Get Owner Kit provides registered Owners with the OwnerHUD and Leash Holder.
- Trusted manages people with limited access.
- Lock opens the locking controls.
- Runaway resets Owner and Trusted assignments after a confirmation dialog.
Owners can also control the Collar with the OwnerHUD, subject to their permissions.
RLV, Restrictions, and Relay
RLV Manager: ON
Active restrictions:
None
Use RLV → Enable RLV to activate the Collar Manager when the viewer supports it. Restrictions contains persistent restrictions.
The Relay receives requests from compatible devices. The Wearer can open the Relay menu and access its Escape function. Force Sit and Unsit appear for Owners while RLV is enabled.
If an RLV function does not respond, first check that RLV/RLVa is enabled in your viewer. Refresh updates the status shown in the Collar menu.
Leash and TP Follow
Leash
Control the leash, its length, and its appearance here. An active leash blocks the Wearer's own teleports. Owner teleports and TP Follow remain available. If the Wearer is actually seated on an object, leash movement will not force them to stand.
TP Follow
TP Follow keeps the Wearer with the Owner across regions. The OwnerHUD can address a selected Sub or multiple Subs. TP Here and TP There are separate Owner actions.
A region's fixed landing point may change the precise arrival position. The Collar accounts for these landings to avoid repeated correction teleports.
Add-ons
Cuffs: installed
Blindfold: installed
Gag: installed
Focus: installed
Add-ons are separate attachments. Open their Collar controls through Add-ons.
- Cuffs: binding and visibility. In Auto, they stay hidden until used.
- Blindfold: visibility, vision settings, and locking.
- Gag: appearance and speech controls.
- Focus: opens the dedicated add-on menu.
Presence and Chat Log
Owner Presence
This feature starts OFF. When enabled, the menu shows the nearest Owner and their status. Its IM rule applies to non-Owners within 20 m; more distant avatars and all Owners can still send IMs. The Primary Owner controls Login Notify.
Chat logging
Only outgoing chat is logged. Enabling the feature requires the Wearer's consent. Runaway resets assignments and stored server data and turns logging OFF.
Read and accept the displayed consent notice before enabling Chat Log. Logs are retained for seven days.
Update your Collar
Check the shared Collar version under More → About. Only the Wearer sees the Update button.
- Wear the Collar and rez the matching MCT Collar Updater in the same region.
- Stay within 5 m of the Updater, with only one matching Updater nearby.
- On the worn Collar, choose More → About → Update.
- Wait for the completion message. Do not move or remove the objects during transfer.
An update package must contain compatible scripts. After it finishes, check the shared version in About.
Troubleshooting
| What happened? | First thing to check |
|---|---|
| RLV restrictions do not work | Enable RLV/RLVa in the viewer and check the Collar's RLV menu. |
| A menu button is missing | Check whether you are the Wearer, Primary Owner, additional Owner, or Trusted user. |
| The Updater is not found | Wear the Collar, rez the Updater, and stay within 5 m. |
| OwnerHUD has no access | Confirm that the avatar is registered as an Owner and is using the current Owner Kit. |
When reporting a problem, include the exact error message and the version shown under More → About.
