Add-ons

Optional extras that plug into your venue: OmniDisplay Web Control puts your OmniDisplay poster boards on the dashboard, and Quiz runs a full live pub-quiz night — players on dialog HUDs, the MC on a one-button web console. Both pair to your XTech Server and are driven from the dashboard.

How add-ons work

An add-on is its own object — a board you rez at the venue, not a script inside the server. A few rules are shared by all of them:

OmniDisplay Web Control

OmniDisplay — the poster system itself — is a standalone product that runs entirely in-world, and its own page covers rezzing, pairing Screens and transitions. This add-on puts it on your dashboard:

  1. Drop the Web Control script into your OmniDisplay Store. Remove it again and the Store is pure offline, exactly as before.
  2. Pair the board to your venue. The script finds your XTech Server(s) and asks you to confirm which venue this board belongs to.
  3. Open the Displays page. With the add-on licensed, each board appears with thumbnails of everything in it.

What the Displays page does

Nothing to upload: the web side works with texture UUIDs, so showing something from the dashboard never costs upload fees — and staff can still walk up and drop textures into the Store the old way.

Quiz — live pub-quiz nights

A complete quiz night: a Quiz Board at the venue, answer HUDs for the players, and two dashboard pages — one to build quizzes, one to run them. One Quiz Board per venue.

What a quiz night looks like

  1. The MC starts the quiz from the web console. The Board announces it in local chat and invites everyone to touch it.
  2. Players touch the Board and get an answer HUD to wear. Joining and rejoining works mid-quiz — a crash-and-relog catches right up.
  3. Each question pops up on the HUD — buttons for multiple-choice, a text box for free answers. Players can change their answer until the MC closes the question; only the last one counts.
  4. Picture and audio rounds just work. Pictures show on the HUD (with a zoom view) and on the Board; audio clips play privately to each player — no blasting over the venue stream, and the MC can replay the clip.
  5. The Board keeps the room in the loop — round banners, "answers in!", a live leaderboard on its screen, and the winners' podium at the end.

Building a quiz — the Quizzes page

Running it — the Quiz MC console

Built for a DJ running the night solo: glance, click, back to the decks. The console shows where you are and one big button for whatever comes next — open the question, close answers, judge, next question, end. Around it:

No laptop handy? An MC touching the Board in-world gets a menu with the essentials — next question, close answers, end quiz — so the night can run entirely from the floor.

Between quizzes

The Quiz Board ships display-ready: pair it to your OmniDisplay Store and it joins the poster rotation as just another screen while no quiz is running, then hands itself back to the quiz when one starts.

Troubleshooting

Board won't pair The board and the XTech Server must have the same owner, and the server must be up and finished with its own setup. Touch the board to rescan.
"This venue doesn't have the add-on" The dashboard page is licence-gated per venue. The board itself will pair and (for OmniDisplay) keep working offline — only web control needs the licence.
A staffer can't see the page They need the matching feature switch on Manage Access — or a venue-admin role. Feature grants stop working when someone leaves the staff.
Board seems stuck mid-quiz The Board re-syncs itself against the web on a heartbeat, so a missed command heals within a minute. Stubborn case: touch it as the MC and pick Sync.
