Pony mods are not banned... threads discussing the show, are banned, which is not the issue here.Toady said, and I quote "No more pony threads." He never specified that it was just the show, its just that those other threads haven't derailed into....horrible things and had his attention brought to them.
Please don't spread misinformation. Thanks.

Shh.
Shhhhhhhh.
Only ponies now.
I'm not sure what a pony mod would actually change, though. Alter the health system and hit messages to make everyone have equine bodies? Change the random name files? (Conservative President Applebloom.) I guess you could theoretically shift the political agenda from "liberalism" to something like "friedship". That would be... interesting, at least. Shooting people to make hugs mandatory and releasing parasprites into the groundwater to promote the cause of sharing. Yeah, that isn't a mod idea I would expect anyone to ever have thought of. At least not for very long.
Toady banned ponies? That's awesome.I totally agree.
Discussion of the show is banned, there's no blanket ban on everything vaguely related. Otherwise I think the massive Pony Fortress thread would probably have been axed.
"Supposed to"? Dude, first you say it's not a subculture, and now you're acting like there's dogma attached to the identity. I suppose it's more of a religion, then?
I never said I hated the show. I don't know that much about it, even.
To lighten the mood, i'm gonna share my thoughts.That is how I see this thread in a few more posts.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Putting aside the subculture/religion/injecting it into everything debate, how on earth is My Little Pony even remotely compatible with LCS?
This. It's like Rome: Total War: Merchantilism Mod!
It makes no cents. :P
Grimith: "It doesn't make sense, it doesn't even make dollars."
Also, I hope this doesn't turn into a flame war, because then Today One is probably gonna come down on our asses like a hammer.

You could at least make an effort to try and address the questions fairly, openly, and politely, rather than instantly assuming any scrutiny of a thread you started is trying to incite a flame war.

I bet you never you even watched the show and just hate it becuase so many people do. Also, this is the end of our little conversation.And you dont need to watch a show to obtain an opinion on its fandom.
[stuff]
A lot of people have made MLP dark and evil, ever heard of "Cupcakes?" Watch it on youtube, if someone could make THAT from MLP, I don't see why we have to change a whole lot about LCS to Pony-fy it.
Rape? What the hell are you talking about? Cupcakes isn't about rape.
It doesn't need to fit. When you look around, you'll find mods for things that make no sense. This is one of those instances. I won't bother trying to rationalize it because I can't, and there really doesn't need to be a reason. if someone wants to make a mod that makes little sense let them. It won't hurt anyone else.
I mean hell, I've done things with DF or drawings that make no damn sense at all (railguns being producable by a nominally middle-ages fantasy race spring to mind, or an instance where I've strapped a machinegun on a robot arm to a pony's back in a drawing for shits and giggles.)
Point is, why is it such a bother? Not like the majority of people will give two shits. Now I'm just annoyed by the repeated "Justify it" response.
How on earth is a game about rape hilarious, or in any way acceptable?Its because its not /legitimate/ rape.
Oh, I guess he meant a comment above mine. Anyhow, Im not saying LCS is Grimdark Violence, Im just saying that the concept of MLP is flexible to fit into a lot of situations out of its normal Huggles and Rainbow Kittens type mood.MLP, isn' that flexible. The show itself doesnt go into different genres, nor does it tell a wide range of stories... its quite inflexible really. Its so called "flexibility", is because the fanbase think that juxtaposition equals creativity.

And the fans of MLP, read way to much into the series... like relationship between ponies. Those mostly likly didnt exist before the fandom decided that it must be so. I bet most background ponies are placed together depending if their complementary or contrasting colors.
I can't mod worth a lick of salt yet, so no Im just suggesting it, maybe once I get better at modding Ill try to do it.
I think he's going to draw it, not mod it.
Why are we... debating on... "Justifying an LCS Pony Mod"?
If the person wants to do it, let them. And more importantly, ignore them if you don't like it. Its like saying its ok to mod Dwarf Fortress but not LCS. You don't see people trying to make up excuses to convince people not to mod Dwarf Fortress do you?
Ill do my danmdest, but Ponies vs. Panguins... Yeah... No. Panguins don't even exist in the pony-verse.The majority of the elements in LCS aren't found in MLP either.

I don't think I would react any differently to someone modding Dwarf Fortress. Well, actually, maybe a little, since DF is more sandboxy and lends itself a bit more to total conversions.
At any rate: Modding LCS sounds like a pain in the ass because of all the ridiculous spaghetti code involved. I've looked at the source once and don't really want to do so again.

Dude, they have a MLP mod for Dwarf Fortress. It's called Pony Fortress or something. I think it changes dwarves into ponies.
EDIT: It's called Pony Mod: My Little Fortress. It's up to 138 pages. Link (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=80240.0)

moding DF is really easy , once you get all the tags , you can mod in anything .No, i made a mod with 20+ weapons and armor, and some cars. DF is definetely harder if you are a beginner, as LCS tags explain themselves, and there are a lot fewer to add.
LCS is harder to mod , because the tags are more complicated .
Yeah, but doing anything else than adding items is pretty hard.Locations are annoying, true, and also NPC's, but items are the whole meaning with mods for LCS :P

Well, there just is nothing left to add for locations, and NPC's are not something that is worth it.Yeah, but doing anything else than adding items is pretty hard.Locations are annoying, true, and also NPC's, but items are the whole meaning with mods for LCS :P
This seems a bit circular to me. I'd say that the reason "items are the whole meaning with mods for LCS" is that modding anything else significantly is too difficult for people to bother.
I'm certain if it didn't require diving into the code itself, lots of cool new locations and NPCs could be added/modified.Well, there just is nothing left to add for locations, and NPC's are not something that is worth it.Yeah, but doing anything else than adding items is pretty hard.Locations are annoying, true, and also NPC's, but items are the whole meaning with mods for LCS :P

I'm not familiar with the show, so this may be a very stupid question, but do ponies have hands? Can they hold things? Seems to me that holding things (guns, loot, hostages) is pretty important for the game to work. Though I suppose there are workarounds...Everything in Ponyverse is made for human hands, but the ponies have creepily flexible hooves and mouthes. It presents no issue.
I'd just appreciate if you weren't ruining the LCS subforum with a bunch of unnecessary topics.There's just this one. And in my book any thread that result in independent creative output (mods, LPs, ad hoc drawings) is a positive happening. Even if it's tentacle porn (though hopefully that kind of creative efforts will be kept to tentacle porn forums ::).)

How did I not notice that I misspelled so bad? Glad I helped anyway."Im going to love and talorate the shit out of you!"
"Talorate"? You sir, have just given me the best possible name for my squad of liberated sweat shop workers!
Never mess with... The Tailorators!
