Jupiter What's RV addon manual

This manual covers the functions and features of the RV addon for the Jupiter What's. 
 For the general information on the base vehicle, please consult the Jupiter What's Manual notecard inworld.
 
Access
- Main lock operates the outside doors and locks the seats;
- Access level operates the internal stuff such as cabinets and beds.
 
Passengers
- There is a total of 5 sit positions inside the RV, with up to 4 available simultaneously;
- Passengers can change their position, adjust position, and change animations via menu;
- Additionally, passengers can change their position by clicking on an empty seat and hold down the mouse key for about 2 seconds;
- Beds can be extended by clicking them, and folded back by clicking the base of the beds;
- When right bed is extended, the sofa positions are not available;
- Default seat positions are stored in LSD and can be altered(names: "rv_seat_1" through "_5"). 
 
Curtains
Curtains can be opened and closed by clicking and holding the mouse key. Left, right, and rear curtain can be opened to either side by clicking the opposite side;
- Canopy curtain has 2 mats, so the external one can be tinted separately; 
- Curtain texture is stored in LSD and can be altered(name: "curtain_texture").
 
Lighting 
- Main room light and lavatory light can be turned on and off by using the switch on the back wall of the RV. 
 
Movable addons
- Use following prefixes in prim's description field to make prims move with corresponding parts:
main door: ADDON_RV_DOOR
lavatory door: ADDON_RV_DOOR_WC
left window: ADDON_RV_WINDOW_L
right window: ADDON_RV_WINDOW_R
front canopy: ADDON_RV_CANOPY
fridge door: ADDON_RV_FRIDGE
left bed: ADDON_RV_BED_L
right bed: ADDON_RV_BED_R
- Addons for the right and left beds go up and down while remaining in one spot, as the beds get folded and unfolded, so they can be used for storing pillows and other stuff.
- Make sure to enable the EDIT MODE when adding more prims. 
  
Customization 
- Cab and RV will have matching color when you change it via menu;
- Both cab and RV can have their custom liveries added separately via menu;
- If painted by the spray can, RV addon texture should be placed in AUX 1 slot;
- Beds, sofa, and curtains can be tinted via sl color;
- Most of the textures can be altered to your liking, link below:
- We've also included a file for Blender 2.79 that should help you with making complex liveries.
