Details


Activate/Disactivate a Puppet:

Ethereal Realms offers the ability to activate or deactivate a Puppet in order to remove clutter from the 0selection list at Realm entrance and on the Comm Panel. Since this is the first option in this script, the user will immediatly notice the two boxes containing Puppet names followed by a 'Suspend' and 'Activate' button.

Management of this is fairly straight forward. To suspend, select a puppet from the 'Active' list and click on the Suspend button (which follow the active list for convenience). Once the page reloads the user will notice that this handle will move from the 'Active' list to the 'Inactive' list, meaning that the suspension was successful.

In order to reverse the process, one would select the desired handle from the 'Inactive' list and click on the 'Activate' button (again located besides the corresponding list). This will move the puppet from suspended to active and become available once again for use.

NOTE: Puppets will expire after ninety days (90) of being suspended. This does not happen to active puppets unless the Puppeteer himself expires.


Password Change:

At times password changes are required by the puppeteers. Be it due to the fact that too many people know of it, or you simply wish something easier to remmeber, this section will allow to change the password as needed. In order to change the password follow the outlined steps.

  • Scroll to the center of the page
    • Enter the old password
    • Enter a new password
    • Repeat new password
    • Click on the 'Submit' button
      [The page will refresh with either a notification of being successful or notice of failure. If you have failed press the back button (or right mouse click on window then select back) in order to try once again. If you have succeeded, please re-enter the portal else scripts will beging to fail until a time you do re-enter]

E-Mail Address Change:

Ethereal Realms does make use of your E-Mail address to notify you of Internal Mail, responses to the Message Board and even system notices if the administrator of the systeems deems it of enough importance. In order to keep informed on the happenings of Ethereal Realms, it is important to change address if the one you registed under is no longer used or simply changed for various reasons.

In order to change your email address complete the following steps:

  • Scroll near the end of the document
    • Provide your login password
    • Provide a new E-Mail address
    • Click on 'Submit'
      [You will be informed if the change was successful or not, once the page has finished reloading]
