General -- beYou HUD

The beYou HUD is the central component to how beYou functions. It serves as the bridge that connects you to your beYou account and assets, which you can see on your beYou profile. You have to wear this in order to use most beYou features and must have it on in order to level up as a player or to use tools that will help you level up your professions.

**VERY IMPORTANT**: Not wearing the hud doesn't keep your beYou activities from being tracked. If you are actively using something beYou related, your account will be seen as using beYou.

## Wearing the Hud

When you have the beYou HUD attached, you are considered as active in the system. You will get some helpful messages from the system such as if the system is having issues, when a Staff member gives you assets or stats, Support Ticket comments, messages about illnesses and much more. Your HUD is how the system communicates with you inworld.

The hud (Heads-Up-Display) displays your account stats inworld in 2 different ways:

1. **Progress Bars** - like many games that have leveling, you can see your progress with progress bars. As each stat reaches 100%, the progress bar will move further to the right. If that stat is dwindling (going low), it will be more towards the left; or
2. **Percentages** - If you prefer to see actual numbers versus your progress bar, you may switch modes by clicking the left or right arrows on your hud just to the right of your 'profile' button to get the view to switch.

You can also see these stats displayed on your profile page on the beYou World Website.

In addition, you can use the left blue arrow button (just above the blue profile button on your hud) to close both displays and see only the main circle section of the HUD.

Shown below are some examples of other important reasons to keep your HUD on as much as possible.

* LEP and Stats - You cannot earn LEP or get boosts from some items without having your HUD.
* Professions - most professions, aside from cooking will require your HUD being attached.
* Crafting - Several crafting stations cannot be used without your HUD.
* Interaction - certain interactions like clicking others' meters & being examined by Doctors will require your hud to be worn.

## Other Hud Features

In addition to viewing your stats and LEP progress, your Hud holds other features.

### Stat Icons

The round circle stat icon buttons do not do anything currently but this might be changed in future versions.

### Stat Bars/Percentages

From top to bottom, the stats on the right side of your hud are (*click the links to learn more about each stat*):

* Mana - This your mojo, your "go juice", your spirituality in a sense.
* Wellness - This is how healthy you are. This is your most important stat. You can **die** if your wellness is at 5% or lower for 3 consecutive days .
* Energy - This is of course what you will need in order to complete tasks. You must have energy in order to do things like eat, shower, bathe, farm, etc.
* Hygiene - This is how clean you are, inside and out.
* Reputation - This is how much others want to be around you according to how good you smell, how well you take care of yourself, etc.
* Mood - How happy and content you are.
* Social - Affected by how well you interact with other users.
* Dedication - How dedicated are you to using your items? Cleaning, keeping yourself happy and smelling good, etc.
* LEP - also known as Life Experience Points, this is your gauge that informs you how close you are to leveling up in beYou.

You can find out more about stats and what they do by visiting the stats category page of the wiki and then clicking the links at the bottom to learn more details about each stat.

### Left & Right Arrows

The Left & Right arrows switch the viewpoint of your stats on the hud between progress bars, percentages & no stats at all.

### Profile Button

The blue profile button on the lower right of the HUD when clicked will open up your beYou Profile page on the beYou World Website.

### Gear/Cog

The gear button on the HUD to the left of the profile button opens a menu with the following options:

* Redelivery - This option will open up your Caspervend redelivery page where you can redeliver any copiable items that you have purchased from beYou. Pressing Control + F on your keyboard while on the redelivery page will allow you to type in a keyword on the bottom of the page to search for a specific item.
* Reset HUD - This option allows you to reset the scripts inside your HUD, if you find your HUD is not displaying updated stats or in general not working properly you can use this option to reset it. \*If this still does not correct the issue, please go to your profile and send yourself a meter via your profile (see fig above).
* Resize - This option allows you to resize the HUD. By resizing the hud, you can make it as big or small as you like.
* Update - This option allows you to check that the HUD you are wearing is the most up to date version and will deliver a current HUD if it is not. Outdated or Older versions of the HUD will tell you they should no longer be used or detached if you wear/add them.

**VERY IMPORTANT**: Attempting to wear more then one beYou HUD at the same time can cause your account to get automatically banned and you would have to submit a Support Ticket to get unbanned from the system.
