I’m in the planning stages of the next set of elevator features. I won’t go into too much detail, but the elevator car will not need to have floors manually typed into the configuration notecard anymore. Provided you have your doors and controller installed and initialized, the elevator car will download the coordinates right from the doors.
The other feature is something I’m often asked about: “I’m a builder, can you sell me a full-perm elevator kit?” which I always nicely answer no to, as I don’t trust full-perm copies of my best seller floating around Second Life. Instead, I am going to create a copy/transfer builders kit, which contains scripted dummy objects that you build into your structure. Now, when someone buys an elevator, they simply rez it and all of the objects rez to where the dummy objects were – self installation! This of course means that the elevator installation is only as good as the builders positioning of the dummy objects.
Now, I know the first option is do-able, but I haven’t much researched the second one yet. With products like Rez-Foo that do similar things, I don’t see why this can’t be done.
Earn money by picking up your free Union Micro Affiliate Kit. This kit includes 6 different vendors that tie into my main vendor network server, so your affiliate vendors are always up-to-date. There are 3 different styles varying from 5 to 11 prims each, and 2 sets of vendors – 1 set for elevators, and 1 set for everything else.
Currently affiliates keep 10% of every sale, but I am considering raising this commission. When and if I do, no need to worry, your vendors will instantly sell at the new commission rate without any interaction or updating from you!
You can pick a kit up in-world at Union Micro, or you can grab one at SL Exchange.

I’ve started a new group, “Union Micro Quality Assurance,” which will be a group for beta testers. I haven’t quite figured out the exact mechanics of how it will work yet, but basically you will be given time-limited beta products from me, and will be paid L$ for every NON-REPORTED bug you find (i.e. no one else has reported it). A little more fun than camping, I would think. :)
Bugs will be reported via the beta forum at UnionMicro.net. You will need to sign up on the forum and be invited to the testers group, so you will need to send me your forum login name. Testing is open to anyone, although not everyone will get to test all products. Also, I’m NOT looking for bugs in all products, just the ones listed below for now. Read on for more…
