The PFS Collar

PFS uses a custom scripted stable collar, which can be purchased for a one-time fee of 600L$ at the vendor in the barn. The proceeds from those sales go entirely towards paying the sims monthly fee.

The collar comes with all features needed for the staff to train our ponies (RLV relay, most available RLV restrictions, a custom leash script, memory function, and much more) and is directly linked to a ponies stall, should she/he have one.

It also comes with an owner feature, allowing pony owners that are not a member of the stable staff to interact with their pony/restrict access to the pony by PFS staff if need be.

For further information about the collar, feel free to ask our stable staff!

1. Access to the collar

You can access the collar menu by clicking it or using the command line /7XXmenu. XX are the 2 first letters from the avatar account name. "ni" for Nico Waxen. --> /7nimenu to access the menu from command line. The prefix can be personalized and in that case you will be prompted to inform you what is the right prefix to use with the collar you try to access.

If the menu is already in use by someone else you will get a message and the menu have a timeout of 5 minutes, no action for 5 minutes and the collar access will be automatically released. Managers or Stable Owner can overide the access to the menu.

You can set Owners to the collar and the collar can handle the mix in case you are collar Owner and additionaly have a PFS staff rank. Collar owners have some special powers like turning the collar into the so called limited mode, in that mode the PFS staff, except Managers and Stable Owner, have a reduced amount of features available and cannot for exemple change the RLV restrictions.

2. Cheater detection system

The collar has an anti-cheat system, if the wearer decide to take it off w/o unlocking it, after a time it will trigger a message to all PFS staff informing that person has cheated out. The cheater's collar is blocked unlocked and only Stable Manager or Stable Owner can reset it from the collar menu. In the same time the cheater loses the stall.

The collar sends 5 IM to the wearer before to trigger the cheat message, in case the wearer lost it by mistake, it just need to be worn again, sometimes a relog is needed to make it work correctly again.

3. RLV folder

The collar has an integrated RLV folder browser. Keep in mind the folders need to contains less than 30 sub-folders or objects. This is a limitation of the RLV API and to keep the collar lag as low as possible no extension in that domain is expected

4. Store feature

You can send back the collar wearer to the stall by using the [store] button, this feature is only available for pony, cow or neko modes (or command line /7XXstore if you have the leash). This feature TP the collar wearer back in the stall and is leashed to the right ring. In case the collar wearer don't own a stall, he will land into the Aspirants stall and leashed there.

5. Pony Network

The pony network is a way to force the pony to be unable to understand what humans says. When the pony network is activated, the pony can only hear some words like "come, yes, sit...". What pony write into the public chat window is sent to other ponies using in the same network and inside the 100m range. The ponies can continue to chat to each other’s, humans won’t be able to read or understand what they say, they will only hear some whinnies from the pony network chat activity. Emotes are not affected by the pony network.

Talking rezzed object are not affected to allow the ponies to understand the ponyplay courses results.

the integrated notecard "words" contains all understood words, this notecard is updated with collar update

You can add a "custom" notecard to allow your pony to understand more words. Be aware that feature is limited to the available memory and can cause the collar crash if you add a LOT!

Other helpful plugins

Besides the collar, PFS offers a number of other, helpful toys and plugins. Those are (for a modest fee, going entirely to paying the sim costs) also available at the collar vendor in the barn.

Available toys and plugins are:

  • A number of custom restraints and hoods, all with built-in PFS access

  • PFS plugins for both MD and RR restraints (highly recommended for every Aspirant, intentionally very cheap at 50L$ each, allowing staff members to grab the keys)

  • A cute PFS leg carrier for all those documents (notecards) that our staff needs to see

  • A functional HUD for pony emotes and gestures

  • And much more
