PonySquare is now only for RP. The social network is now BronySquare. I find it less laggy and more flexible than ever. You can even add any CSS you want to your profile.
I apologize for being completely gone. And for more or less abandoning Lost in Darkness. The reason for that is that I ran into trigger issues, sent it to Winston for help, since he had agreed to help with the triggering, and he never did anything with it. I asked him several times how it was coming along and if he was going to do it, and he said he would, but he never actually did anything. So yeah, I kept waiting, he never did anything, and I didn't start working on it again by myself. So yeah, I apologize. Although, if one of you guys are willing to help me with the triggering, then I will start working on it again. If not, though, then it is unlikely It will ever be finished.
Regarding the triggering, I had reached the first section with hotkey events. The idea was the villager guy would be walking through the woods, then a prompt to press a hotkey would appear. The beast would then leap out of the woods, and if you pressed the hotkey, then you would jump out of the way and survive. If you didn't you would die. The triggering for the hotkey event itself wasn't that complex, I was able to make it fairly easily. The problem, was making the event repeatable, so the player wouldn't have to start the entire game over if they died. That said, I did manage to reach a point were it was mostly repeatable, with only a few minor kinks to work out. Unfortunately, that was the point were something went wrong, and all the triggers for that section stopped working properly. Not trigger lock, but some problem with timing, or something. So yeah, if you could figure out what went wrong, that'd be great. Of course, It's kind of a convoluted setup, and you may have trouble understanding it since you didn't make it. I mean, I made it, and even I can't figure out what went wrong. If you can't fix it, that's fine, I can try to work that part out by myself again. I could still use your help for other parts, though.
So, would you like me to send it to you?

You've always struck me as the most reasonable person on the Internet that I've ever met, by the way. I typically disagree with most of your opinions, but they always seem like pretty good ones all the same. Which is apparently something I'm not good at recognizing...
Can't now. Don't have aom. Might grab it when I return home for thanksgiving. I assume I can still trigger... Have t done so in a long time, though I do program stuff and its similar logic.
I wasn't planning on it, did you want me to? The problem with doing that this time is that the overlapping rotten logs for the fire delete each other when the scenario is loaded again, and several of the units seem to have shifted or something, making getting them in the same place and frame of animation REALLY hard. I could still send you the scenario if you'd like, though.
Oh, this reminds me I still have a video of a screenshot I made for CSC, because people thought I cheated :p. I'll try to upload it later this week. It's just a few camera movements around the scene, based on this shot https://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa384/Euroqueb/AoMH-Continuous-Screenshot-Competition/screen536.jpg
Also, current CSC theme is "Sex". I said I'd make a screen for it, but have no idea about what to do yet... xD
Hmm... Kara coming to visit... Just got new gf two weeks ago... I feel like they're both down to earth people who won't be feeling awkward about this, right? Hum... Might be hard...
