HUDDLES Button Bars

There are three different button bars that I make. These button bars attach to your HUD and allow you to play animations with just a mouseclick. Here are the announcement threads for each of the three versions:

1. HUDDLES Deluxe Button Bar
   
2. HUDDLES Button Bar with Text
   
3. HUDDLES Button Bar Mini

The three button bars have similar functionality. The primary differences are:

1. The Deluxe has 20 buttons rather than 10 buttons on the Text and Mini version.
   
2. The Deluxe comes with a Dance Ball attachement that allows your friends to hop on similar to a Chimera or Dance Sphere.
   
3. The Text version uses floating text to display the names of the currently loaded animations.
   
4. The Deluxe is copy/no transfer while the Text and Mini are transferable/no copy.

Here is a feature list of the Deluxe. Deluxe-only features are bolded:

1. Load up to 20 animations and access them with simple button clicks.
   
2. Small size does not take up a lot of screen, so you can wear it all the time.
   
3. Current animation is highlighted on the button bar.
   
4. STOP button to stop the current animation.
   
5. Buttons with no current animation are greyed out for clarity.
   
6. Add emotes for each animation.
   
7. DANCE and RANDOM modes to cycle through the currently loaded animations.
   
8. NEXT button to go to the next animation in DANCE or RANDOM mode.
   
9. Change the time interval between dances in DANCE or RANDOM mode with a chat command.
   
10. TIMED mode where animations are played for specific amount of time in seconds.
    
11. Invite your friends to dance with you with a simple chat command.
    
12. Drop as many animations as you wish into the bar.
    
13. Switch between sets by switching config notecards with a chat command (supports unlimited notecards).
    
14. INFO mode, to see the names of the animations currently loaded.
    
15. LIST button to list all animations currently loaded.
    
16. HELP button to get a notecard with detail instructions.
    
17. RESET button to reload the current config notecard.
    
18. EMOTE button to toggle emotes on and off (off by default).
    
19. SILENT mode to turn off most owner chat feedback.
    
20. COLOR button to choose the background color of the bar.
    
21. ALPHA button to choose the transparancy of the bar.
    
22. Access any other animation in the button bar (beyond the 20 currently loaded with the "pose" chat command.
    
23. Dance Ball included. Wear the ball and animate up to 10 additional avatars.
    
24. SELF button to toggle animation for you. So you can:
    - Choreograph dancers,
    - Direct a model,
    - or control a slave/pet, without animating yourself.
    
25. List dancers who are linked to your Dance Ball.
    
26. Remove dancers by number.
    
27. Clear all dancers from your button bar.


28. Change the channel for voice commands.
    
29. Copy the button bar and make modifications to it's appearance/size.
    
30. Comes preloaded with 40 freebee dance and modelling animations (these animations are also available at HUDDLES Headquarters for free).

So... whenever I release updates to the button bars, I will post something here. And I will direct people here to discuss and get info on these gadgets.

------------

P.S. Thank you for providing a place on the forums where I can host an ongoing discussion about my product, a product that changes and evolves with updates over time.

On Saturday, December 10th, I updated the Deluxe Button Bar to version 0.9.1. The major changes were:

1. The command '/51changenotecard' was changed to '/51load'.
   
2. The command '/51animateself' was changed to '/51self'.
   
3. Added a timed mode where you can specify the amount of time an animation is played in dance or random mode. This is entered on the notecard, but is not necessary for you to specify. (see instructions for detailed help on timed mode).
   
4. /51timed switches timed mode on and off. It is on by default.
   
5. Deluxe version now includes 20 free dance and 20 free model animations.*
   
6. Added the /51invite command to invite others to dance.
   
7. Added the /51clear command to clear all dancers
   
8. Improved /51list with an explanation line and the elimination of unnecessary lines.

* I am not selling these freebies. They are also available for FREE at my store in No. I added them as a convenience to my customers, so they would have some halfway decent dance animations right out of the box.

and cheaper then the chimera

By the way, I had been selling the deluxe model for 749 on SLexchange, but I decided since it was the only way for someone to gift this no transfer item, I reduced the price to 699 to match what I sell it for at my stores. So if you want to give one away for the holidays, use slexchange!

Wee! I set up a stall at the Scripters Trade Show in Brilliant (19, 173). There is a giant Deluxe Button Bar there that you can give a try.
