| | [[File:Descendants of Darkness HUD Guide.png|center|thumb|812x812px|The Descendants of Darkness Main HUD. The species themes share the same functional layout.]] |
|
| |
|
| Above, you will find a photo of the Descendants of Darkness Lycan HUD. All species are the same functioning layout so we used the lycan HUD as a demonstration. The image displays the buttons and their respective functions. You can also locate the photo at the Descendants of Darkness land. This article will delve into the features more comprehensively than what the image conveys.
| | The '''Main HUD''' is the player's primary in-world interface for combat, feeding, scanning, and settings. The buttons use the same layout for every species, although their artwork and resource display vary. |
|
| |
|
| =Attack-Feed Button=
| | This page is an overview. Follow the links below for the full guide to each control. |

| | __TOC__ |
|
| |
|
| The three buttons above represent the attack options for each species, and the specific button on your HUD depends on your chosen species. To initiate an attack, you need to click on the corresponding button when you are within one and a half meters of your target. Clicking it in proximity to another player triggers an attack, and you can view the attack information below the HUD, positioned in the default text display.
| | <span id="Attack-Feed_Button"></span> |
| | == Attack and Feed Button == |
|
| |
|
| Upon attacking another player, they will enter an animation if they have animations enabled. Simultaneously, you will also engage in an attacking animation, which varies based on your species. Clicking the attack button near a non-player (human) initiates feeding. Feeding involves replenishing your blood if it's not already full. The human must have blood for you to feed from them, and the feeding data is visible below the HUD in its default text position.
| | Use the species-specific main button to attack registered players or interact with regular humans. See [[Attack and Feed Button]] for the HUD controls, [[Combat]] for player attacks, and [[Feeding and Blood Levels]] for feeding and human blood. |
|
| |
|
| Each human starts with five liters of blood. Feeding from them decreases their blood levels. If you deplete their blood to zero liters, they will be considered dead, and you won't be able to feed from them again. However, if you don't kill them (i.e., taking them to zero liters), they will naturally regenerate blood over time. It should be noted that if you attempt to bring a deceased individual into the game, they will need to purchase a potion for revival before they can be converted into a player.

| | == Self Scan == |
|
| |
|
| It should also be noted that the pictures of the buttons above show the blood half full. If you lose blood, the blood level on the attack/feed button will decrease, and if you gain blood, it will increase.
| | The private Self Scan reports your character's detailed identity, status, age, resource, lineage, affiliations, and other applicable fields. See [[Self Scan]]. |

|
| |
|
| Click the '''Self-Scan Button''' to display a detailed private scan of your character in nearby chat. The results are only visible to you.
| | Scan registered players, regular humans, and Abominations within the range allowed by your age group. The full guide explains public versus private fields, human blood states, and the information deliberately omitted from Abomination scans. See [[Scan Others]]. |
|
| |
|
| A Self Scan contains more information than the public scan shown to other players through the '''Scan Others Button'''.

|
| The exact fields displayed will depend on your character. Optional information is automatically omitted when it does not apply.
| | Search the region for active Descendants of Darkness HUDs, with additional information revealed as your character ages. See [[Scan Region]]. |
|
| |
|
| == General Information == | | <span id="Settings_Button"></span> |
| | == HUD Settings == |
|
| |
|
| '''Username'''
| | Configure RLV locking, HUD size, the combat display, themes, animations, links, sounds, Awakening Orbs, and language. See [[HUD Settings]]. |
|
| |
|
| Your Second Life username. When displayed by the HUD, the name links to your Second Life profile.
| | == Help and redelivery == |
|
| |
|
| '''Born'''
| | If the HUD is missing or no longer working, see [[HUD Help and Redelivery]]. |
|
| |
|
| The date and time your character originally entered Descendants of Darkness.
| | [[Category:HUD Guide]] |
| | | [[Category:Gameplay]] |
| '''Sire'''
| |
| | |
| The player responsible for bringing your character into the game. If your character does not have a sire, this field displays '''None'''.
| |
| | |
| If a Re-Sire request is pending, the scan may also display the proposed sire and the number of days remaining.
| |
| | |
| '''Generation'''
| |
| | |
| Generation records your character's position in their family line.
| |
| | |
| A root or Arch character is normally Generation 0. Someone sired by a Generation 0 player becomes Generation 1. Their descendants become Generation 2, and the pattern continues through the family tree.
| |
| | |
| Generation is primarily used for lineage and roleplay. It does not directly determine your combat strength; combat progression is primarily determined by your age group and related statistics.
| |
| | |
| '''Species'''
| |
| | |
| Your current species. The Main HUD currently supports Vampires, Lycans, Witches, and Hunters.
| |
| | |
| '''Status'''
| |
| | |
| Your character's current condition, such as Alive, Sleeping, Dead, Dead from Hunger, or Banned.
| |
| | |
| A dead Self Scan may also display the date and cause of death.
| |
| | |
| '''System Role'''
| |
| | |
| Players with a special game-wide position may have a System Role displayed near the top of their scan. This field is omitted for players without one.
| |
| | |
| == Age Information ==
| |
| | |
| '''Age'''
| |
| | |
| Your character's current age in nights. Characters with an Alive status normally gain one night of age each day.
| |
| | |
| Some sleeping levels slow or pause age progression. Because of this, a night of character age does not always equal one real-world day for sleeping characters.
| |
| | |
| '''Age Group'''
| |
| | |
| There are currently '''12 age groups'''. Each species has different names for these levels, but they share the same age thresholds.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| Reaching a new age group can increase your maximum resource, combat strength, attack range, and scanning range. It also reduces your Subsistence requirement.
| |
| | |
| '''Subsistence'''
| |
| | |
| Subsistence is the amount of your species resource normally consumed each night while your character is alive.
| |
| | |
| In the example above, a Subsistence value of '''0.460''' means that the character normally loses 0.460 units of Energy each night.
| |
| | |
| Subsistence decreases as you advance through the age groups:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"

| |
| | 0.050
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| Sleeping characters currently do not lose their resource through nightly Subsistence.
| |
| | |
| If an active character's resource reaches zero through Subsistence, the character may die from hunger.
| |
| | |
| '''Blood / Energy'''
| |
| | |
| This line shows your current species resource followed by your maximum capacity.
| |
| | |
| * Vampires and Lycans use '''Blood'''.
| |
| * Witches and Hunters use '''Energy'''.
| |
| | |
| For example, '''Energy: 4.640 of 5.160''' means the character currently has 4.640 Energy and can hold a maximum of 5.160.
| |
| | |
| Your maximum capacity increases as you advance through the age groups.
| |
| | |
| '''Essence'''
| |
| | |
| Essence is a shared resource used by every species. It is separate from Blood and Energy.
| |
| | |
| Alive players normally receive a passive gain of '''0.25 Essence per day'''. Additional Essence may be obtained through region-presence rewards, special events, kills, or Essence Containers.
| |
| | |
| Essence may be spent on actions such as:
| |
| | |
| * Siring or converting a new player
| |
| * Reviving players
| |
| * Depositing Essence into containers
| |
| * Other game abilities and costs
| |
| | |
| '''Dark Rating'''
| |
| | |
| Dark Rating is a rolling activity score that measures how active you have been during the most recent 28 Second Life Time calendar days.
| |
| | |
| Accepted activities award Dark Rating points. A maximum of eight points can count toward your rating on any one day. Accumulating 120 points within the rolling period produces a Dark Rating of 100%.
| |
| | |
| Dark Rating is recalculated daily at approximately 12:30 a.m. Second Life Time. Older activity leaves the calculation after 28 days, so your rating can rise or fall over time.
| |
| | |
| Dark Rating is no longer the direct score used to rank Dynasties and Clans. Those groups have separate Weekly and Lifetime scoring systems. However, Dark Rating remains important to systems such as Legacy.
| |
| | |
| '''Legacy'''
| |
| | |
| Legacy is your cumulative bloodline score. It is influenced by the living descendants beneath you in the family tree and their Dark Ratings.
| |
| | |
| Active descendants with sufficient Dark Rating can contribute toward your weekly Legacy award. Deeper and well-developed family trees may earn larger rewards. Certain consequences, such as being slain or entering a coma, may reduce an award.
| |
| | |
| Unlike Dark Rating, Legacy is cumulative and does not automatically disappear when older activity leaves a rolling window.
| |
| | |
| == Bloodline and Affiliation Information ==
| |
| | |
| '''Bloodline DNA'''
| |
| | |
| Your character's inherited bloodline. This is private information and is not shown in another player's public scan.
| |
| | |
| Bloodline DNA is different from Bloodline Allegiance.
| |
| | |
| '''Bloodline Allegiance'''
| |
| | |
| The bloodline or Arch organization to which your Clan is currently loyal.
| |
| | |
| If your Clan does not serve a bloodline, the scan may identify you as a '''Renegade'''. Players without an applicable affiliation may be identified as an '''Outlaw'''.
| |
| | |
| '''Loyal To'''
| |
| | |
| When available, this line identifies the leader of your Clan's bloodline allegiance and displays their bloodline role.
| |
| | |
| '''Following'''
| |
| | |
| The player your character currently follows through the loyalty system. This line is omitted when you are not following anyone.
| |
| | |
| '''Bloodline Role'''
| |
| | |
| Your current position within your inherited bloodline.
| |
| | |
| '''Clan'''
| |
| | |
| The Clan to which your House, Pack, Coven, or Order belongs.
| |
| | |
| '''Clan Role'''
| |
| | |
| Your current position within the Clan.
| |
| | |
| '''House / Pack / Coven / Order'''
| |
| | |
| The name of your character's primary affiliation. The label depends on your species:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"

| |

| |
| | |
| '''Affiliation Role'''
| |
| | |
| Your current role within your House, Pack, Coven, or Order.
| |
| | |
| '''Title'''
| |
| | |
| An optional personal title assigned to your character. This line is omitted when you do not have a title.
| |
| | |
| '''Umbral Bond'''
| |
| | |
| The player with whom your character shares an Umbral Bond. The name links to that player's Second Life profile. This line is omitted when no bond exists.
| |
| | |
| '''Followers'''
| |
| | |
| The first number is the number of your followers who are currently alive. The second number is your total number of followers.
| |
| | |
| For example, '''Followers: 2 of 3''' means that two of your three total followers are currently alive.
| |
| | |
| = Scan Others Button =
| |
| | |
| [[File:Scan others.png|alt=Scan Others Button|center|thumb|Scan Others Button]]
| |
| | |
| The '''Scan Others Button''' allows you to examine nearby avatars. It can identify registered players, humans, and Blighted Abominations.
| |
| | |
| Unlike the '''Scan Region Button''', Scan Others only searches within your current scanning range. The scan covers 360 degrees, so avatars do not need to be standing in front of you.
| |
| | |
| Click the button to display a list of nearby avatars, then select the person you want to scan. If several avatars are nearby, additional pages may be available in the target-selection menu.
| |
| | |
| Scan results are displayed in your nearby chat and are only visible to you.
| |
| | |
| == Scanning Range ==
| |
| | |
| Your maximum Scan Others range increases as your character ages.
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"

| |

| |
| | |
| The scanner has a five-second cooldown. If it is used again too quickly, the HUD will tell you how many seconds remain.
| |
| | |
| == Player Scan ==
| |
| | |
| When the selected avatar is a registered player, the HUD requests their public scan. A public scan contains less information than the private scan produced by the '''Scan Self Button'''.

| Fields without information are automatically omitted.
| |
| | |
| A public scan does not reveal private information such as the player's exact age, birth date, sire, subsistence, essence, Bloodline DNA, followers, or the person they are following.
| |
| | |
| Witches and other Energy-based species display '''Energy''' instead of '''Blood'''. The affiliation label also changes by species:

| |

| |
| | |
| == Dead Player Scan ==
| |
| | |
| A dead player's public scan is shorter than a living player's scan. It may display:
| |
| | |
| * Username
| |
| * Date of death
| |
| * Cause of death
| |
| * Banned status, when applicable
| |
| | |
| Private details about the player are not included.
| |
| | |
| == Human Scan ==
| |
| | |
| If the selected avatar is not a registered player, the system treats them as a human. A new human normally begins with 5 litres of blood.
| |
| | |
| A human scan may look like this:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| ╔═★⋅•⋅∙∘☽ Human Scan Result ☾∘∙⋅•⋅★
| |
| ║ Human: Rowan Silverbrook

| |
| ╚═•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅⋅•⋅⋅•∙⋅∘☽★☾∘⋅∙•⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| The human's status reflects their remaining blood:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| ! Status
| |
| ! Meaning
| |
| |-
| |
| | Novus Sanguis
| |
| | New blood with a full 5 litres.
| |
| |-
| |
| | Sanguis Plenus
| |
| | The human has at least 4 litres of blood.
| |
| |-
| |
| | Sanguis Medius
| |
| | The human has between 2 and 4 litres of blood.
| |
| |-
| |
| | Sanguis Exiguus
| |
| | The human has less than 2 litres of blood remaining.
| |
| |-
| |
| | Sanguis Nullus
| |
| | The human has no blood remaining.
| |
| |-
| |
| | Ignotus
| |
| | The human's blood status could not be classified.
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| '''Sanguis Nullus''' is the correct term for an avatar with no blood remaining. It does not merely mean that the avatar is not a registered player. A human with this status cannot be fed upon while their blood remains depleted.
| |
| | |
| Human blood gradually regenerates over time.
| |
| | |
| The '''Protection''' field displays the progress of any protection placed on the human by a Hunter.
| |
| | |
| == Blighted Abomination Scan ==
| |
| | |
| The scanner can also identify a '''Blighted Abomination'''. Its scan may contain:
| |
| | |
| * Status
| |
| * Current blood level
| |
| * Protection
| |
| * Essence reward
| |
| * Echo or backstory
| |
| | |
| If the Blighted Abomination is dead, its scan may instead display resurrection information and the person or force responsible for killing it.
| |
| | |
| == Masquerade Warning ==
| |
| | |
| Public scans contain information protected by the Masquerade.

| [[File:PowerUpButonCircle.png|center|thumb|Power Attack Button.]]
| |
| The Power Attack button executes an attack that inflicts four times as much damage and has an extended range. The attack covers 360 degrees around you and spans up to three meters. When you attack someone the power attack % increases. To see your current power attack %, you can click on the power attack button and your % will temporarily show above the power attack button. If you don't attack anyone for a minute, it will reset to 0%. Once your power attack is at 100% you will see a timer above the power attack button showing how much time you have left to be able to use it, and there would also be a yellow circle around it. This lets you know your power attack is at 100% and you can use it to attack another player. If you do not attack someone with the power attack before the timer runs out, your power attack resets to 0%. Also, don't try to find a loop hole with the dialog box for the power attack, the time is already accounted for. you get 60 seconds to do the power attack. This also includes the time of the dialog box. If the count down timer reaches 0, even if you have the menu open, you won't be able to do a power attack.

| = Scan Region Button =
| |
| | |
| [[File:ScanRegionCircle.png|alt=Scan Region Button|center|thumb|Scan Region Button]] | |
| | |
| The '''Scan Region Button''' searches the entire region for other players wearing an active Descendants of Darkness HUD.
| |
| | |
| Your own avatar is excluded from the results. Avatars who are not wearing a compatible HUD will not respond to the scan.
| |
| | |
| The button supports two actions:
| |
| | |
| * '''Short click''' — Performs a manual region scan and displays the results.
| |
| * '''Press and hold''' — Opens the automatic scan settings.
| |
| | |
| == Manual Region Scan ==
| |
| | |
| Short-click the button to begin a manual scan. The results are displayed in your nearby chat and are only visible to you.
| |
| | |
| A new player's scan with one other HUD user in the region may look like this:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| Piercing the veil, please wait...
| |
| | |
| ┌─────────────────────────────────
| |
| │ 🌑 Dark Sight
| |
| ├─────────────────────────────────
| |
| │ ✧ Unknown
| |
| └─────────────────────────────────
| |
| Found 1 player in region.
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| The scan confirms that one player is present, but a new player cannot yet identify their name, species, rank, or distance.
| |
| | |
| As your character ages, their senses become stronger and additional information is revealed.

| |
| | |
| == Complete Scan Example ==
| |
| | |
| After reaching 120 nights, the same scan may look like this:
| |

| |
| │ ✧ Raven Ashfall (witch • Disciple) 0.59m
| |
| └─────────────────────────────────
| |
| Found 1 player in region.
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In this example:
| |
| | |
| * '''Raven Ashfall''' is the player's name.
| |
| * '''witch''' is the player's species.
| |
| * '''Disciple''' is the player's current rank.
| |
| * '''0.59m''' is their distance from you.
| |
| | |
| When several players are detected, they are listed in order of distance, with the nearest player shown first.
| |
| | |
| If no compatible HUD users are detected, the HUD will report:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| No presence detected in this realm.
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Manual region scans have a short cooldown. If you try to scan again too quickly, the HUD will tell you how many seconds remain.
| |
| | |
| == Automatic Scan Settings ==
| |
| | |
| Press and hold the Scan Region Button for at least half a second to open its settings menu.
| |
| | |
| Automatic scanning runs quietly in the background approximately every 30 seconds. It does not print the full player list shown by a manual scan. Instead, it activates the HUD's scan effect when another active HUD is detected in the region.
| |
| | |
| The following settings are available:
