There are several steering whips in SL, but I always thought the animations to them were too harsh and aggressive. Going for a leisurely cart ride is supposed to be a relaxing and pleasant experience, so I created new animations for my Buggy Whip and packed them into a simple-to-use HUD.

No more wildly flailing whip swings. No more standing up in your cart when you use the whip, because this one only animates your right arm.

I've also included a copyable sound and script that you can drop into any other modifiable whip, in case you have a favorite you'd rather use.

Scripts are no-mod/copy/no-transfer. Every other part is mod/copy/no-transfer.

~USER MANUAL~

Operation is pretty simple, but here are a few, easy tips.

1) Wear the HUD and whip

2) The blue button is the Training Mode button. use this and you won't have to tell your pony what each whip command corresponds to in ((OOC))...rather they can learn from extra emote hints given by the HUD...more like how an actual pony would learn what the sounds mean.
Once your pony has learned, switch Training Mode off and the extra hints are no longer supplied.

3) The five, most usual commands are in green, red, and yellow. These are the buttons you'll use most often. The orange buttons are for "hard right" and "hard left". Each of these has an additional emote of "...and pulls hard to the [left or right]". I use these as the "turn around 180" command, but of course they're left open to interpretation.

I sincerely hope this helps to improve your pony play. If you have questions or input for future versions, please drop me a message to let me know.

CHANGELOG

v5 (10 Dec. 2015) fixed an issue that was preventing the whip from playing sound properly for avatars with special characters in their display names.

v4 (7 Jan. 2015) small change to the main HUD script to refresh the holding animation after sim crossings.

v3 (25 Nov.2012) moved sounds to the whip from the HUD. Also included a copyable sound and script that you can drop into another (modifiable) whip of your choosing.

v2 (5 Nov. 2012) moved to a Hippo Update Server so all future updates will be automated. This doesn't change any of the functionality for you, but will make my life much easier in the future if further updates are needed.

v1.2 (1 Nov. 2012) fixes permissions on the HUD *facepalms*

v1.1 (1 Nov. 2012) removes a redundancy in the script and increases the priority of the default holding animation, making it a little more efficient, but does not change the functionality.

Yeah, kind of turned off by other whips because they make you stand in a cart. Not only it looks over the top, but also sometimes the animation got stuck on busy sims and you don't return to your seat.

This one keeps my avi seated, and even in busy sims it won't leave you standing awkwardly on your cart.

Very nice!

If the sound can be increased slightly it will be totally perfect :-)
