Mare Hearing
Mare Hearing acts as a powerful extension to Mare Control. It is a very powerful and effective device which truly immerses the pony into its new life. Put simply, it reduces the vocabulary of the words an animal can understand to just some basic words they need to be an animal. Every other word in the sentence becomes obfuscated.
Description
The pony simply wears the simple HUD icon and it displays just as an icon. No further interaction is required by the pony so it can be simply reduced in size and left untouched.
So someone saying in local “Well aren't you a cute little pony?”
Becomes “░░░ ░░░ ░░░ ░░░ ░░░ ░░░ ░░░?” to the pony.
There are some simple pony play words they can learn if they hear that word enough. So, after time, the pony may get “░░░ ░░░ ░░░ ░░░ ░░░ ░░░ pony?”
Chat Commands
You can use a command in local chat to access the animal’s Mare Hearing:
/321 mare <name> hearing
- Where <name> is the target’s first name.
There is also a chat command to enable/disable Mare Talk:
/321 mare <name> talk on|off
The Mare Hearing main menu can also be opened with the sNr Staff HUD.
Menu
The Mare Hearing Menu looks like this:
[Mare Talk]
This toggles the ability for mares to speak and listen to each other in a secret language no one else can hear. It is usually left enabled.
[Lock]/[Unlock]
This toggles the mare hearing capability. This can be useful if you need the mare to hear local in order to help them train, or perhaps to give them a temporary time-out.
[Name]
The pony’s name as used in local chat is set here, and obviously needs to match their display name so bystanders know who is speaking or emoting.
[Allow Emotes]
If this is enabled then emotes can be sent as normal, but if it is activated then the pony can only emote using the gestures listed below.
Word List
A list of all words a mare can learn.
pony, mare, come, go, easy, work, stay, bad, home, stall, good, stop, dumb, ready, stupid, yes, no, animal, livestock, wait, start, wrong, stopping, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, steeples, slalom, barrels, dressage, polo, cart
A list of all allowed basic emotes if emotes are restricted. These words are also accepted if an s is added to the end.
nicker, whinnie, whinny, snort, stomp, neigh, once, twice, yawn, sigh, blow, squeal, bow, curtsy, curtsie
Troubleshooting
- If you cannot obtain access to the Mare Hearing then you may be too far away to use it or the pony isn’t wearing it.
- If the owner has disabled access to it a message will show in local chat:
Mare Hearing: The owner of this animal prohibits access to this Mare Hearing
- In case you are using the Staff HUD this message can get lost. To be sure, try to access the Mare Hearing directly without the use of the Staff HUD to see the message.
