What is Tabs?

Tabs is an experimental RecRoom CV2 framework that you can use to display basic text pages on any screen!

Originally designed to make simple text archives it has been adapted and updated to allow higher flexibility.
As of now the Tabs system is capable of displaying 12 lines of text across 4 text gadgets. The user can then navigate between these lines and interact with each one of them by using an easy to use 3 button keyboard*. The system automatically slows down when displaying large amounts of text to prevent heat overloads.
Each line can contain hidden links, so that when the user selects one they can navigate to other pages or to send signals to other circuits.

*The entire system actually has 4 buttons, with the fourth one being the reset/start button.

Where can I use Tabs?

You can use it in any room you want: private, public, contest, it doesn't matter.
What does matter is that the original creator ( BlueBird931 ) should be credited in some clear way, wether it's a link button to the original invention and/or creator or by simply leaving the invetion listed in the "inventions used" tab of the room.

Can I sell Tabs compatible data chips?

Yes, if you create your own data chips or even Tabs compatible modules you are not only allowed to publish them, but also sell them and gain a profit.

Can I modify the Tabs circuit board?

Yes, you are allowed to edit and modify the Tabs circuit board to your pleasing.
However you are not allowed to publish your modified version and earn any profit from it.

warning

What should I do if the system stops responding?

If Tabs stops responding it means that it has encountered a fatal error caused by a heat overload or internal bug.
In that case you can try the following:

Restart the system by pressing the "restart" button
Restore the room
Leave and rejoin a fresh instance of the room

If the problem persists something probably got corrupted, in that case try replacing the Tabs circuit board with a new one and check that the data chip doesn't contain any invalid informations.

What should I do if multiple pointers appear on the screen?

Multiple cursors can appear after spamming the "up" and "down" keys. This won't break the system but can certainly be annoying.
Usually the cursors will go away after loading a new page, but if the problem persists restarting the system should resolve the issue.

Precautions

Be aware of the limitations

When using the Tabs system it's good to keep in mind a few rules to avoid system errors and possible problems:

Only run 1 Tabs per room: The system can reach up to 80% of heat consumption when loading pages*, meaning that loading on 2 devices at the same time will lead to heat overload and cause loading errors.
Avoid crowded rooms: Despite being tested in multiple scenarios it's not certain that the system will remain stable in rooms with many players.
Avoid old instances: Using any circuit in an old and unstable instance can lead to unexpected bugs. For a correct use of the system keep your instances fresh and if needed rejoin the room to avoid errors.
Avoid spamming: When using Tabs take your time and let the system respond to your inputs before giving new ones. Even if it is designed to resist input spam it's recommended to avoid it to not cause any unexpected errors.

*In normal circumstances the system should stay below 80%, however during testing the system has reached a peak of 91% CPU consumption when using the"GoTo" function.
