MoonBots Inventory Viewer

Search, wear, and manage your bot's items from anywhere

What Is the Inventory Viewer?

Every MoonBot comes with its own Inventory Viewer, a full browser-based copy of your bot's Second Life inventory. It works just like the inventory panel in your Second Life viewer. You can search for items, wear and remove things, read notecards, view HUDs, and share items, all without ever logging into Second Life yourself.

Best of all, it's included with every MoonBot at no extra cost. No other bot hosting service in Second Life offers an inventory tool this complete, which makes the MoonBots Inventory Viewer one of our most popular features.

Accessing the Inventory Viewer

You can open the Inventory Viewer right from your bot's dashboard.

Step 1: Log in to your MoonBots account and select your bot.

Step 2: Find the Inventory section on the dashboard.

Step 3: Click Inventory Viewer to open your bot's full inventory in a new view.

What You'll See

Once it loads, the Inventory Viewer shows your bot's complete inventory tree, organized into the same familiar folders you'd see in Second Life: Objects, Clothing, Body Parts, Notecards, Landmarks, Animations, My Outfits, and more. It also shows a live count of how many items have loaded, with Refresh and Full Rescan options if anything looks out of date.

Folders can hold thousands of items, especially for bots that have been active for a while, but the viewer is built to handle large inventories smoothly.

Searching Your Bot's Inventory

Instead of scrolling through folders by hand, just type into the search box at the top of the viewer. The Inventory Viewer searches across the entire inventory, including items nested inside outfit folders, and returns matching results instantly.

There's also a Dialogs toggle. When it's turned on, in-world dialog menus and notecard prompts can be answered directly from the viewer.

Working With Items

Right-clicking (or tapping, depending on your device) any item opens a menu of actions, just like in the Second Life viewer itself:

1. Get Info: See item details like permissions and creator, without opening Second Life (see A Closer Look below).
2. Give Item: Send the item to another avatar or object directly from the viewer.
3. Detach Item: Remove a worn item from your bot.
4. Touch: Trigger an item's touch event, useful for vendor displays and interactive objects.
5. HUD Viewer: Open a HUD's controls without having to wear it first.

A Closer Look: Get Info

Selecting Get Info opens a panel with everything you'd want to know about an item before you wear it, share it, or troubleshoot it:

1. Inventory UUID: The item's unique identifier inside your bot's inventory, with a Copy button for pasting elsewhere.
2. Asset UUID: The identifier for the underlying asset itself, also copyable.
3. Creation Date: The date and time the item was added to the inventory.
4. Description: The item's description field, as set by its creator.
5. Permissions: A breakdown of what you, anyone, and the group can do with the item (Modify, Copy, Transfer, Share), plus what the next owner will be able to do if the item changes hands.

This is especially handy for checking copy and transfer permissions before you try to share or give away an item, or for grabbing an asset UUID when you're troubleshooting a script or a support ticket.

Great for:

1. Quick outfit changes: Search for an outfit by name and wear it on your bot in seconds, without digging through folders.
2. Checking item permissions: Use Get Info to confirm an item's permissions before sharing or distributing it.
3. Event prep: Open a dance HUD or control panel with HUD Viewer to check its settings before an event.
4. Sorting gifts and new items: Search incoming folders like Received Items or Lost and Found to find and sort new items.
5. Testing interactive objects: Use Touch to trigger vendor or interactive objects in your bot's inventory directly from the dashboard.
6. Sharing items with others: Use Give Item to send notecards, landmarks, or outfits to customers or other avatars without logging in.

Tips

1. If an item you just received isn't showing up, click Refresh first, then try Full Rescan if it still doesn't appear.
2. Search works on partial names, so you don't need to remember the exact item title.
3. Keep the Dialogs toggle on if you want to respond to in-world prompts straight from the viewer.
