Tiny Empires 3000 makes extensive use of hover text on the HUD.  Depending on your screen settings, you might see the text hanging over the edge of the HUD or blocking some of the graphics.  To address this, you can alter the UI size of Second Life, which changes how the hover text appears. To do this, click Edit -> Preferences from the SL menu, and slide the UI Size slider to the left or right, and click Apply to see the result.  Tiny Empires 3000 also allows you to fine-tune the position of the text. Click the ? button at the top of the HUD and then click "Adjust Text". On that blue window you will be able to move the text up/down/left/right by small amounts.

Inactive HUD

After about 30 to 45 minutes, the TE3K HUD becomes inactive. There are two ways of dealing with this:

  • detach the HUD and re-attach it
  • use the "offer scroll"-buttons (bottom right corner of the HUD)

HUD is attached but invisible

Chat commands for the HUD are:

  • /3000 help (or /3000 options): Brings up the blue options window.
  • /3000 reset: Resets the game hud to a default location on the screen.
  • /3000 min (or /3000 minimize): Minimizes the game HUD so that it takes up less space.
  • /3000 max (or /3000 restore): Restores the game HUD to full size.

The game text is hanging over the edge of the HUD, or it's not aligned correctly

Tiny Empires 3000 makes extensive use of hover text on the HUD. Depending on your screen settings, you might see the text hanging over the edge of the HUD or blocking some of the graphics. To address this, you can alter the UI size of Second Life, which changes how the hover text appears. To do this, click Edit -> Preferences from the SL menu, and slide the UI Size slider to the left or right, and click Apply to see the result. Tiny Empires 3000 also allows you to fine-tune the position of the text. Click the ? button at the top of the HUD and then click "Adjust Text". On that blue window you will be able to move the text up/down/left/right by small amounts.

Configuring the HUD

How can I configure Tiny Empires 3000? Click the "?"-button at the top of the game HUD, or type "/3000 help" in Local Chat. This will bring up the blue settings dialog that lets you configure the HUD position, overlaid text position, and sounds, among other things.
