The Tip Jar: Rewarding Support for Your Creations

The Tip Jar in SL Colonies is an essential tool for creators and roleplayers alike, allowing you to receive donations and tips in various currencies. Whether you’re a performer, a shop owner, or simply someone who appreciates the generosity of others, the Tip Jar is a versatile and customizable way to engage with your community and earn support.

 

Key Features

Customizable Design:
The Tip Jar is fully modifiable, allowing you to adjust its size and appearance and even replace the default mesh with your own. Whether you prefer the default chest design or want to integrate it with other objects, the Tip Jar can be tailored to suit your specific aesthetic needs.

 

Multi-Currency Support:
By default, the Tip Jar is designed to accept tips in Linden Dollars (L$) and SLC coins. Additionally, if you have created your own currency within your SIM using the SL Colonies Coin Mint, you can configure the Tip Jar to accept it as well. This flexibility makes it a perfect fit for a wide range of in-world economies.

 

Interactive Tipping Process:
Players can tip in different currencies through a simple interface. For Linden Dollar donations, players right-click and select “Pay.” For SLC coins or other custom currencies, a short left-click allows them to choose the currency and amount they wish to tip. This straightforward interaction ensures that tipping is accessible and easy for everyone.

 

Owner Control and Customization:
As the owner of the Tip Jar, you have full control over its settings and scripts. You can customize the hover text, welcome messages, thank-you messages, and more. The scripts are also modifiable, allowing advanced users to tailor the behaviour and interaction of the Tip Jar to their liking.

 

Security and Script Management:
The Tip Jar provides options for script management and security. You can reset the scripts from the content tab or via the owner menu, ensuring smooth operation. Additionally, you can set permissions to control who can use or modify the Tip Jar, maintaining order and security within your space.

 

Using the Tip Jar

Placement and Setup:
Rez the Tip Jar in your desired location within SL Colonies. Once placed, configure the permissions to allow it to take payments from players. Remember, it won’t take money from your account—this setup simply allows others to pay into it.

 

Modifying the Tip Jar:
If the default design isn’t to your liking, you can unlink the mesh from the invisible box and replace it with another object of your choice. Be sure to resize both the lid and the body if you choose to alter the dimensions, maintaining the visual balance of the jar.

 

Receiving Tips:
Players can tip you by right-clicking the Tip Jar and selecting “Pay” for Linden Dollars or by left-clicking to choose a different currency. The money or coins are directly transferred to your account, with the Tip Jar tracking the total tips received.

 

Customizing Messages and Hover Text:
Owners can easily edit the welcome and thank-you messages that players see when interacting with the Tip Jar. This personalization allows you to communicate your gratitude and create a more immersive experience for those who tip.
