Should we focus our attention on reducing laggy animations? Two in particular are Goldie's doggystyle scene and Zoe's missionary scene. Both run poorly even on my high-end machine.

Browser plugin lagged really bad on video loops. These are used in some scenes for tail whack of for water effects in Shelly and Zoe scenes. But there is none in Goldie missionary scene.
I don't experience video (re)start lag in Flash Projector 11, neither Trong nor Adobe.

Some scenes get slow when zoomed in.
However, my computer is 10 years old i7 and it still run these quite good. Surprisingly there is no difference in GPU, it runs the same on CPU integrated GPU as it runs on my recently added up to date GPU. So the Flash player doesn't use it.

Currently I'm working on Ava sound. I have to tune up sound synchronization to animation speed, specially to different animation loop periods of different points of view for the same speed. Not just different playing speed but Crow didn't bother to make these equal frame count.

I see. It lags on my end for some reason.

Megan scene updated for straight version - pseudopenis can be removed by variable set in XML dialog file.
Also fixed player c0ck animation in a way it is fixed to player and moves inside Megan, not opposite.

The 5. and 6. speed would be better with increased stroke, but such change requires animation update for 15 parts of Megan and player bodies. I don't have that much time.

By the way, Megan scene file name is megan_sex_b. That suggest a chance that megan_sex_a scene maybe existed at some time, or at least unfinished concept. Have someone ever seen that?

I have never seen anything related to a second megan scene.

I think that Megan's scene was some of Crows lowest effort production

I've done Ava voice synchronization for both scenes finally. Will share files most likely tomorrow.

I had it done for some time but it sometimes stopped working and took me hard time to figure it out.
The problem is a race condition with one user defined function controlling start of playing some segment and another function in onEnterFrame event checking sound play position and stopping at the end of segment. Normally two scripts are not executed simultaneously as it doesn't run multithread. But as it turned out, Sound.start() function doesn't take effect immediately, so when the sync function called by animation starts the sound again from the beginning of file, the onEnterFrame event function executed later sees the playback position still at the end of last segment and thus it calls Sound.stop() because it looks like the played segment is finished. So the solution it to add simple interlock to avoid stopping the sound in the same frame the sync start function is executed.
It worked sometimes anyway because there is no guaranteed order of scripts execution in Flash.

Ava sound update, sharing for test
(Edit: file sharing stoped)


By the way, I haven't received any comments on Ginger update yet.

I tried replacing the files in the necessary locations but the sound doesn't load for some reason. I like how you smoothed out the scene a bit, any way you could do this to goldie's doggystyle scene. It lags horribly when you change camera angles

That's because my memory sucks. :-)
You have to add following line to your hth_config.xml file:
<set vari="scene_sound_path" value="data/sounds/" />

I entirely forgot about that, sorry for that.

I'll update sound scripts to report an error when file load fails or when path variable is not set.

The sound is a little weird, it might need to have it's own timing instead of the timing based on the thrusts. Also the moaning duplicates if you switch cameras while sound is already playing. Other than that this is way better!

I had it playing at original timing in the beginning, but it sounded disconnected from the scene. The synchronization to thrusts sounds better, yet far from perfect. The cause is likely the way too different timing. It seems like Crow's favorite camwhore Kitty Leroux didn't recorded her voice to scene animation playing. Other voice actors likely did.
