The Purrfect Control Suit

1. Wear the jacket: in your inventory, right-click → Attach.
2. On first wear, accept the animation and control permission requests.
3. Open the menu: touch the jacket, or use the chat command:
   • Format: [first two letters of your name]jacket (case insensitive)
   • Say it in public chat, on channel 1, or on channel 233
   • Example: "Alice" → type aljacket
4. Your exact command is shown in the menu header ("Command:") and announced when the device initializes.

Touching the jacket or saying the menu command opens the Straitjacket Control Panel. It shows the owner, version, command, status (Locked / Unlocked), worn state with current tightness, arm binding style, and the key holder when someone holds the keys.

Button	Action
中文	Switch all menus and messages to Chinese
Wear	Put the jacket on (binds arms in their current style, applies the RLV attach lock)
Unwear	Remove the jacket (non-wearers only; impossible while locked)
Lock	Lock the metal straps: adds movement restriction, makes struggle-escape impossible
Unlock	Unlock the straps; returns the keys if a key holder is set
Front Bind / Behind Bind	Switch arm binding between crossed in front and behind the back (only when unlocked)
Struggle	Open the struggle mini-game menu (wearer only)
Tighten / Loosen	Adjust tightness by 10 (non-wearers only)
Settings	Open the settings menu
Timer	Open the timer menu (only while locked)
RLV Menu	Open the RLV restrictions menu (only while worn)
Access	Open the access control menu

Wearing, locking, binding, tightening and loosening each play sounds and print descriptive messages to chat.

Three binding states are supported:

• Unbound: arms free (jacket unworn)
• Arms Bound Front: arms crossed and buckled against the chest
• Arms Bound Behind: arms wrenched back and locked

The binding style persists across sessions; re-attaching the jacket re-applies it automatically. The visual meshes switch automatically between the unbound, front-bound and back-bound builds while preserving PBR materials. Alpha masks are managed for you: bound states wear the jacket alpha, the unbound state wears the hands alpha, and both are removed automatically when the jacket comes off.

Open from the main menu with Struggle (wearer only). The menu shows current progress, tightness and range, decay rate, auto-struggle state, and lock status.

• Start Struggle: begins the game. Progress starts at 0/100.
• Enable Auto / Disable Auto: hands-free mode that builds progress automatically each tick (manual A/D input is ignored while enabled).
• Return: back to the main menu.

How it works

• Alternate the A and D keys (left/right rotation) rapidly. Each successful alternation adds progress; pressing the same key twice in a row does nothing.
• Progress constantly decays at a rate based on the current tightness: the tighter the jacket, the faster the decay.
• Any other movement key stops the struggle (progress is kept and reported).
• Your movement is completely locked down while the struggle is active.
• Reaching 100/100 while unlocked frees your arms and removes the jacket. While locked, reaching the peak changes nothing: escape is impossible until the straps are unlocked (auto-struggle falls back to 50 and keeps going).
• Progress reaching zero does not end the game; you can keep struggling.

Floating text

While struggling, colored floating text shows STRUGGLING..., a 10-segment progress bar with x/100, the tightness and its range, and (when locked) LOCKED - Cannot escape!. The color shifts red → green with progress. It can be hidden in Settings.

Interference events

Each key press has a small (3%) chance to trigger a random latex-tightening event: a chat message, a latex squeeze sound, a 50-point progress penalty, and an arousal/moan effect when used with compatible arousal systems. Auto-struggle uses a lower chance. The messages can be disabled in Settings (the penalty still applies).

Collisions

If another avatar collides with you mid-struggle, you stumble: a stumble animation plays and progress is reduced (the loss grows with tightness; 2-second cooldown between collisions).

Tightness

Non-wearers with access can Tighten / Loosen in steps of 10 via the main menu. The default range is 20–80 (configurable). Tightness sets the struggle decay rate: higher tightness means faster decay and bigger collision penalties. Current tightness is shown on the main panel, in the struggle menu and in the floating text.

• Lock secures the metal straps: movement is restricted, the jacket cannot be removed, and struggle can never reach escape.
• Take Keys (shown to anyone with access while locked and the keys are free) claims the keys. While keys are held:
  • Only the key holder (and the owner; trusted users additionally when the holder is not the owner) can unlock, use the timer or open the RLV menu. Everyone else gets Access Denied.
  • The wearer attempting to get in triggers automatic tamper punishment.
• Return Keys: the key holder can hand the keys back at any time. Unlocking the device also returns the keys automatically.

The Timer button appears on the main menu while the jacket is locked. The timer menu shows duration and status with hour:minute:second precision.

Button	Action
+1min / +5min / +30min / +1hr	Add time to the duration (only while stopped; max 24 hours total)
Start / Stop	Run or halt the countdown
Reset	Clear the duration back to zero (only while stopped)

When the timer expires, the automated release triggers by itself: the jacket unlocks (arms remain bound in the sleeves) and all RLV restrictions are cleared. Timer state survives detaching and re-attaching the jacket.

Access menu (Access). The panel lists the owner and trusted users.

Button	Action
Owner+ / Owner-	Scan avatars in the region to set as owner (full control; setting an owner removes them from the trusted list), or remove the owner (self access is automatically re-enabled)
Trusted+ / Trusted-	Scan avatars within 25 m to add as trusted (max 5; the owner cannot be added), or pick one from the list to remove
☑/☐ Self Access	Wearer's own control on/off: true self-denial (requires an owner set first)
☑/☐ Public Access	When on, anyone can use the controls; when off, only owner/trusted/self (if allowed)

Access priority: Owner > Wearer (if self access allowed) > Trusted > Public. Users without access see Access Denied and only a Return button.

Settings menu (Settings):

Setting	Action
☑/☐ Float Text	Show/hide the struggle progress floating text
☑/☐ Crotch Hide	Conceal or reveal the crotch cover piece (applied immediately)
☑/☐ Interference	Show/hide the random struggle interference chat messages (the progress penalty still applies)

Settings apply immediately and are restored on re-attach. The 中文 / EN button on the main menu instantly switches every menu, message and status text between English and Chinese.

Advanced tuning lives in the Straitjacket.Config notecard inside the object (one parameter = value per line, # lines are comments). Changes hot-reload whenever the object's inventory changes (no reset needed), and safe defaults apply if the notecard is missing.

Parameter	Range	Shipped value	Meaning
struggle_base_boost	0.5–3.0	3.0	Progress gained per successful A/D alternation (higher = easier escape)
decay_multiplier	0.01–0.05	0.05	Decay rate = tightness × multiplier (higher = faster decay, harder escape)
auto_struggle_rate	0.1–2.0	1.0	Progress per auto-struggle tick (higher = stronger auto-struggle)
min_tightness	10–50	20	Minimum tightness level
max_tightness	60–100	80	Maximum tightness level
default_tightness	min–max	50	Starting tightness

Open with RLV Menu from the main menu (only while worn; key-holder rules apply). Buttons show ✅ when a restriction is OFF and ❌ when it is ON; press to toggle:

Button	Effect when restricted
Touch All	Cannot touch anything
Far Touch	Cannot click distant objects
Touch HUD	Cannot click HUDs
Edit	Cannot edit objects
Rez	Cannot rez/create objects
Wear	Cannot attach additional items
Inventory	Inventory window hidden

• Clear All: lift every restriction listed above.
• While the jacket is worn, a detach lock prevents removing it via the viewer; wearing/unwearing through the menu manages this automatically.
• Restrictions are recovered after re-login or re-attach. When the release timer finishes, all restrictions are cleared.
