SubGuard – User Guide

This page explains how to use SubGuard (SubHUD + RemoteHUD) from a user perspective. It intentionally does not cover internal server/PHP details.

For subs

Wear the SubHUD, choose an owner, manage words/regions, and follow the rules.

For owners

Wear the RemoteHUD to control teleports and features (depending on your setup).

Tips

If something doesn’t work, check: RLV enabled, lock status, and TP There input format.

1) Overview

What SubGuard does (from a user perspective)

Main features

  • Owner selection / pairing
  • RLV restrictions (depending on menu & setup)
  • Punishments / outfits (depending on setup)
  • Teleport controls: TP Now / TP Follow / TP There
  • Regions: whitelist + actions on violations
  • Words lists: Badwords + Mustwords
  • HUD Lock/Unlock
  • Optional: “Get Remote” (receive RemoteHUD automatically)

Requirements

  • RLV enabled in your viewer (e.g. Firestorm: Preferences → RLV)
  • The sub wears the SubHUD
  • The owner wears the RemoteHUD (or receives it via “Get Remote”, if available)
Note
If RLV is disabled, restrictions/teleports may not apply depending on the feature.

2) First setup

Quick start

  1. The sub wears the SubHUD.
  2. On first wear, you’ll see:
“This HUD is not owned yet. Please click the HUD to choose an Owner.”
  1. The sub clicks the HUD and selects an owner.
  2. The owner wears the RemoteHUD (or uses Get Remote, if present).

3) Pairing

How pairing works in practice

Choosing the Sub

  • The Owner clicks the RemoteHUD to open the Menu -> pairing -> Sub selection menu.
  • Select the desired sub from the list.
  • From then on, the owner can control the sub via RemoteHUD (depending on settings).
Dialog button limit
Second Life dialogs can show a maximum of 12 buttons. Submenus are normal.

4) Reset SubGuard (changing owner)

How to unpair / clear the owner and start fresh

Correct way: “Reset HUD” (Main Menu)

  1. Click the RemoteHUD -> Menu -> to open the Main Menu.
  2. Press Reset HUD.
  3. Confirm if prompted.
  4. After the reset, the Sub click SubGuard again and select the new owner.

Alternative: chat command

If enabled in your setup, the sub can also reset via chat:

/88 <pref>reset all
Important
Detaching SubGuard and using “Reset Scripts” on the inventory item does not remove/clear the owner pairing. Use Reset HUD (Main Menu) or the chat command above to change the owner.

5) RemoteHUD (owner)

Daily controls

Typical actions

  • TP Now: teleport the sub to the owner (depending on setup/RLV)
  • TP Follow: the sub follows the owner on teleports (depending on setup)
  • TP There: teleport the sub to a chosen destination

Good to know

  • If something doesn’t apply: check RLV, lock status, and permissions.

6) Words (Badwords / Mustwords)

Forbidden and required words

Badwords

  • Words that are forbidden.
  • Typically checked as “whole-word-only”.

Mustwords

  • At least one of these words must appear in the message.

Removing words

  • Open the Words menu → Remove.
  • Select a word to delete it from the list.
Tip
If “Remove” doesn’t delete anything, reopen the submenu and try again.

7) Restrictions & TAB button

How restrictions work and what the TAB key does in SubGuard

What are restrictions?

  • Restrictions limit what the sub can do in Second Life.
  • They are applied through RLV, depending on the active settings.
  • Typical restrictions include movement, teleport, camera, or interaction limits.
  • The owner controls which restrictions are active via menus.

The TAB button

  • In SubGuard, the TAB key cycles the main menu pages.
  • Each press switches between the menu categories (for example: Base → Words → TP Logging).
  • This is a shortcut so you can change pages quickly without reopening dialogs.
