General Session Options

To go do a different page, click on one of the tabs or buttons in the picture:

 

Type of Session

Standard
This option specifies that the session should start normally.

Pop Up
This option specifies that Virtual Hypnotist should hide in the background for the time specified in Session Start Time, and then pop up and start the session.

Background (no visuals)
This option tells Virtual Hypnotist to hide the induction screen, and to run the session entirely in the background (similar to the Subliminals Only mode below).

Background, subliminals only
This option lets Virtual Hypnotist change into a subliminals-only mode, much like standard subliminal software found on the Internet. The subliminals will then flash on your computer's desktop. See the Subliminal Session section for more information. When you are running a session in this mode, an icon in the taskbar will be visible:

To exit the subliminals-only mode, click the taskbar icon, and click Stop Subliminals in the box that pops up.

 

Session Options

Scroll computer screen on popup
This check box enables a mode where the whole screen seems to "scroll" upwards right when the session starts. It's an interesting effect.

Performance Monitor
This option turns on and off the Performance Monitor, which helps prevent freezes during sessions and shows statistics on the speed of the sessions. The statistics are shown in the Information section.

Show script errors during session
This option turns on and off error reporting during sessions.

Show script commands (debug)
When this option is enabled, a message will pop up during a session for each command being processed.

Show top-left exit message
This turns on and off the message at the top left of the induction screen, which tells the user how to exit the session.

 

Session Start Time

The two boxes in this section let you set hours and minutes for the following two options

Start session in time above
This option will make Virtual Hypnotist disappear when Start Session is clicked on the main screen, and Virtual Hypnotist will pop up again and start the session in the time specified in the time boxes above.

Start session at random time between now and time above
This option will make Virtual Hypnotist disappear when Start Session is clicked on the main screen, and Virtual Hypnotist will pop up again and start the session at a random time between the time you clicked Start Session and the time you specify in the boxes.

 

Screen Size

Full Screen (default)
This option runs the session in full-screen mode

Windowed
This option runs the session in a window, and you can specify the window size in the boxes below it.

 

Screen Resolution

This section lets you change the computer's screen resolution when the session starts. Choose a resolution, and click Test.

 

Text-Only Session Options

This section allows you to determine what the text will look like during a text-only session.

Text Duration (if speech is off)
This slider changes the amount of the that the text stays visible, when speech is off. If speech is on (along with text), the text will stay on as long as the speech system is speaking.

Text Fading Speed
This slider changes the fading speed of the text.
