Updated on 10-10-2013, fixing a bug that caused the dialog from the horn for the recolor tool to appear when it shouldn't.
Small update on 29-04-2013, a few default settings have changed, existing users don't have to update.
Updated on 23-12-2012 to do a slight cleanup in the code & to add multiple versions of the horn pre-fitted for all the popular pony avatars.
i also added star particle effects to the magic aura on the horn so it matches with the particles on the spheres
As always, send me an IM informing me that you want to be updated and i will send it your way :-) Don't hesitate to IM when i'm offline, i then will get the message as soon as i come back online the next day.
◆ =WW= MLP Advanced Magic Horn
Due to the success of my other horn, I put it back on the drawing table. While the other one has its main focus on simplicity, this one has it's focus on features. All these new features are accessible through a unique HUD.
This HUD is special in more way then one! I avoided the big panel with buttons, that just didn't work for this system, instead almost all the buttons will change function or position throughout its use. So you will always have the right ones when and where you need them. Another thing that makes this HUD unique is the way it interacts with the things you see in the 3D world. At said before the HUD doesn't need mouselook anymore, however, the system to target things hasn't changed. You can still point-and-click the objects you want to capture. This system works the other way around as it is able to align buttons with your magic spheres, this is useful when you want to change the settings of an individual sphere.
That this version works without mouselook doesn't mean it isn't supported anymore. Mouselook still works, in face, it is better then ever! With newly scripted internal system for more stability and almost all the features that are accessible in the other version are now accessible through the HUD.
◆ How it works:
While most new users will ignore it, i strongly recommend reading the instruction manual included. The working of this HUD is different from how most other HUD's work in more ways then one!
The basic process of use will be this:
You will open the HUD and click on the object(s) on your screen that you want to capture. After you have captured your object(s) the HUD will show controls to move your magic around. Your magic will follow you around as you walk, or not (YAY for flexibility). After you are done moving your object(s) the trashcan button can be clicked to dispel your magic again letting the objects fall on the ground.
This is just the basic process, there are many options that can be changed to adjust your magic to your own needs.
◆ Customization:
But, there is more! Every pony avatar has a different color and every unicorn uses a different magic color. Therefor this horn is fitted with a recoloring system that is easy to use for everyone. This system is able to recolor both your horn and your magic so they can be literally every color you want!
The magic spheres are scripted in such a way that they can be restyled in many ways trough textures, glow & transparency. The script that handles the magic aura effect inside of the horn is full perm so if you know how to, you can can customize the effect to anything you want.
◆ What you get:
The =WW= MLP Advanced Magic Horn will be delivered to you inside a box containing both the horn and the HUD, this box will also act as you back-up in case you need a new fresh copy. You will also get a notecard containing the full documentation as well as a manual on how to use it

- The ability to lift and physical objects & avatars

Still holds up
Thanks to the fullperm magic effect script, I was able to adapt this to a kirin horn's unique horn glow. Very neat.
The fact that i cant use this when public building is enabled is kinda annoying
Dont you think the sim just wont allow you to rez things anyways? Even if im a mod/admin in a sim that can normally rez things in the sim it wont allow me to rez due to the sims permissions. That's kinda irksome
Very useful for role play and in general!
On personal use the product is very fun to use and easy to use for 'simple users' as well. Nothing complex is needing to be done nor is having to study the manual (Though recommended to read!) to figure out how to use the hud. Kinda self explanatory! Though if you wonder what one thing does, refer to the manual included in the package. All answers are therein. ((If you still have one the seller is very nice as to help in any way they can! ))
Totally Recommended
Wonderful hud with great scripts! The hud is quite flexible by means of what you want to do with it pertaining to magic casting. Quite easy and simple to use and is perfect for magic using ponies. There's a manual that answers just about any question you may have if you read it; but if ya still have one, the seller is very willing to answer and to help out. Very much worth the lindens!
need help
i keep getting this message when I click anything for it.
=WW= MLP Advanced Magic HUD: Public building must be enabled to use magic!
Really, read the manual.
I skipped on reading it the first time, which make me overlook a feature. So... go ahead. Read it.
