I said earlier that "each card has a unique 4-digit number ranging 0001 to 9999"

This isn't quite true. The same number might be used again in future, adding another character to the end to make it unique.

@spiderman1804 - Thank you.. I was wrong about the Dorcel bit. And I must have got mixed up with some of the identifying letters, too. I wish I could edit my original... Here it is again - revised... Perhaps a moderator will remove the incorrect original 3 posts back (and this one)?

Better to add a new post to avoid *****...

I found a way to pause the clipNameSprite for a second or so at the end. This works ok but it also removes the spin out effect. I know this isn't clean coding but it does... Work! I replaced the PingPong with a '0' in both chunks of code. Hey, if it achieves a desired effect...

clipNameSprite {
color: 0, 0, 0
pos: -1000, -1100, 0
hotspot: 0, 0
scale: 14.0, 7.4, 0
rot: -90, 90, -90
source: clip
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0, 0.8
animate: .3 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0.8, 0
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0.8, 0, 0
animate: 7.0, 0, InOutQuad, rot, 360, 360, 5760 // Changed PingPong to 0

Starryk, just reporting issues as I hardly ever use repeat but repeat clip isn't working.

I tried the vg repeat clip and it just selects your next clip.

Really the problems with your new releases are very short. Great work.

well there was an update today and i installed it and it seems fine now

Starryk, I have 700 enabled cards but no collections enabled to prevent vghd from selecting any cards.

Tested with collection enabled VI in this case and as you reported the problem does not occur.

This is great not having to alter VG setup to use your PM. Although I am suspicious of a problem with VG and not your PM.

With enabled cards and no collections the problem will occur in full mode after a single card plays. Pause/resume PM starts a card but in small mode.

All is good. Thanks again.

The different card sets are:

a#### - VirtuaGirl (old name: VirtuaGirlHD)
All cards in resolution 720p. Some cards are also in 1080p.

b#### - VirtuaGuyHD
All cards in resolution 720p.

c#### - DeskBabes
All cards in resolution 720p. Some cards are also in 1080p.

d#### - VirtuaGirl Classic
All cards in resolution 480p (not HD)

e#### - VirtuaGirl interactive
All cards in resolution 720p, 1080p and 3K. Two cards are not in 3K (e0026, e0028).

f#### - DeskBabes interactive
All cards in resolution 720p, 1080p and 3K. One card is not in 3K (f0010).


The 15 Dorcel cards are a part the set e####.

@szalka,

It was an image from another website. With the site name, clear as day.

Copyright material is copyright material szalka !

How it's posted makes no difference ! Not at all !!

Do you really want to start arguing the point ??


That was just an edit and a reminder before.

This one is a warning.

@mods
OK, I accept, but it wasn't an image insertion, only information, this is a big difference!

@Rita69
I didn' give Ariel's dimensions, they are in the table

ATTENTION
With this new version it is NOT necessary and actually not good to have no active shows. The problems with full size seem to be related to this. I always had some active shows in my collection during testing and no problems.
My addon checks every 0.5 seconds if vg finished playing its previous clip and needs to be told the next to play and even if vg has started another clip it will just cancel that clip and play the one my addon tells it to.
So there is no problem with having active shows in the collection while using my addon and it seems it causes problems with full size if you don't.

I will do some testing myself now with no active shows and see if i can reproduce this behaviour. But i had another report like the one by @JeB1952 and told that user to activate a show and test again. He did and all worked well without problems.

PM issue in full mode. Clip plays and then stops. Use next clip to start a show but it is now in small mode.

It seems that whatever triggers next clip in small isn't there in full.

VgLogger issue fixed.

It is great to have control over clips again!!!!

New PM issue. In small mode, pick up a VI model so it is hanging. PM starts a new clip. So now I have a new small clip playing and the hanging model on my mouse pointer. Sometimes when I let go of the hanging clip vghd crashes.

Starryk has updated VGLogger to get it to handle transition clips.

Thanks Starryk

Holy crap, Beastman! I love it! I'm gonna play around with spinning the name as well now :) Is there anything we CAN'T do with this stuff???

Thanks for that and also for the extra info on 'animate.' I knew it changed your RGB colours but I wasn't sure why, till now :) I'll change that so it just goes back thru the colors in reverse order. Ie: R,G,B,G,R.

Guys, you need to check out Beast's mods to my scene. It looks awesome! Simply copy and paste his code above into my .scn file just above or just below the two clipNameSprite bits and comment out my originals //. If you prefer Beast's changes then you can delete my originals :) Be careful with the open and close brackets tho{}

Edit: (A couple of hours and tweaks later...) Beast made the names swing and they look REALLY cool!

Now I've taken the names for a multi-dimensional spin! Check this out in my, or your own code ;):

clipNameSprite {
color: 0, 0, 0
pos: -1000, -1100, 0
hotspot: 0, 0
scale: 14.0, 7.4, 0
rot: -90, 90, -90
source: clip
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0, 0.8
animate: .3 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0.8, 0
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0.8, 0, 0
animate: 7.0 , PingPong, InOutQuad, rot, 360, 360, 5760
}

clipNameSprite {
color: 0, 0, 0
scale: 13.6, 7.0, 0
pos: -1000, -1090, 0
hotspot: 0, 0
rot: -90, 90, -90
opacity: 0.5
source: clip
animate: 7.0 , PingPong, InOutQuad, rot, 360, 360, 5760
}

This works on a 3D cam scene. Not sure if it will work on a 2D cam but I doubt it :( That probably needs a few more tweaks...

Edit: Trying to figure out a way to make the spins pause for at least a second or two before spinning off again. It appears that the clipNameSprite function only lasts a set amount of time and anything we add to it can't change this time duration. I've tried spinning the names faster with more than 20 times the rotation speed but it still won't pause in the middle, long enough to read the names :/

The software allows up to 5 seconds to display the names in desktop mode. Is there any way to micro control this in Fullscreen?

I now still missing 4 cards then I have achieved my Goal !

Here is Naomi Nevena sexy upskrit.

VGLogger is still crapping on transition clips. I picked up a VI clip to get the dangling thing and vglogger reported an error and shutdown.

Pause function isn't working correctly. I think pause is working but when I resume it starts a new clip immediately.

When I stop PM and then perform a start I get 0 clips and 0 shows. Only way to get it going is to completely restart.


Note to users of vghd playlist manager. The easiest way to stop vghd from playing clips is to unselect all collections. Not even demo's will play. Now VG Playlist manager takes over. You don't need to disable clips or anything fancy. Works great.

Thanks for your contribuions and effort (which probably was not an easy upgrade) to your player.

I'm still missing 7 Cards !

Sorry Starryk I tried to send you a second pm but the system tells me your mail inbox is full... The thing is a few hours ago I told you the playlist manager doesn't work. Well it turned out that wasn't correct...to say the least. Long story short: I still had version 1.2.60. I simply updated my VG software and now everything works fine :D :D :D

@Lloydn Maybe you got the same problem? Did you check if you got the latest VG software installed man?

even when a show played on my playlist its not playing the fullshow...i set it on fullshow with playlists checked...am i supposed to do something different?....its not working like the old versions of playlist manager

this program isnt workin right at all..ive been playin with it...i created a playlist with it...i mean the program recognizes the amount of shows in my playlist...when i try to play them it plays demos...a simple thing like this should work...i mean im using this like when i had an older version of virtuagirl...well it is a beta...theres bugs..i dont know if im supposed to do something different here

I wish Ariel was back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weabul

Starryk, you are one of my favorite people! Thank you for your effort, and I hope that Totem realizes your effort and gives you something tangible in return for your efforts!

Let me invite you to continue this discussion in @Dorsai6's poll. Here's the direct link:
http://www.virtuagirl.com/forumPost.php?foId=8&ftId=29622

a note regarding Animate

single component animate's are additive
animate: .4 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0, 1 // blue
animate: .3 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 1, 0 // green
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 1, 0, 0 // red

each animate will add to the previous, so you will get a bit of red, a bit of green and a bit of blue, being mixed

If you Add an Animate that changes more than a single component,
that One replaces any prior single component animate.

so:
animate: .4 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0, 1 // blue
animate: .3 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 1, 0 // green
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 1, 0, 0 // red
animate: .7 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 1, 0, 1 // red and blue

would be the same as this:
animate: .3 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 1, 0 // green
animate: .7 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 1, 0, 1 // red and blue

that last animate changing both the red and blue values will take the place of the two previous single color animate line.
or so this has been the results of my tests..

on your fire and water scene..

I thought it'd look good if the name had a little swing to it..

I have only one screen, and the working space slider doesn't even appear on my settings tab as a consequence. But there is discussion in other threads on this very topic.

I finally I developed a very friendly "clip player" where I can tag clips,
Feature #414: Follow Registry to play clips.
don't nkow what surprieses I will see when/if it is back.

@gatonegro Feature 414 is now restored, but your software will require a revision. Where can we get your free add-on?

@charliefoxtrott Others are also working on upgrades to their clip players. There are many to choose from. One of them may suit you nicely, and I'm certain this is the quickest answer to your current frustration.

Weabul, The fact that you can download something without paying for it doesn't mean that is made by nobody and that there is nobody owning a copyright.

Thank you for the clarification of the legal jargon. I did not know that! Lesson learned.

Thanks for your efforts, Starryk! Still waiting for the full release version 1.2.0.66 to come down the pipe.

Awesome, Starryk!

Thanks for your hard work, hope you didn't spend all of your weekend on it.

YEAH !! It's here !! Thank you sir for your hard work. Downloading now.

Here it is

VG Playlist Manager V 2.8.1

New Features:

• Support for VirtuaGirl 1.2.0.66 and higher.
• New filters for the new Collections VG Interactive and DB Interactive
• New Cliptimer on the clipinfo dialog which shows the calculated remaining play time of that clip as a countdown
• New systray Menu Function "Next Clip"
• Option to include Transition clips into the playlist (per default excluded)
• Option to include Disabled Clips was replaced by option to include transition clips

Important: THIS IS A BETA VERSION! Usage at your own risk!
For now don't start a playlist if you have set the number of girls in small mode higher than 1. It will not work correctly then.

Don't run more than one Instance of my program or you will just get a slide show!

Don't rely too much on the cliptimer. Its ok for telling if the clip will run for another 2 minutes or end in 30 seconds but not for determining if it will run for another 5 seconds or 15. I won't answer to ***** about the inaccurate timer!!
All other bugs can be reported via PM

The program can still be found here:
http://www.kp3d.com/vgmanager.html

To just update the program file just replace the vghdplay.jar with the one included in this zip:
http://www.kp3d.com/archives/vgplaylistmanager28Jar.zip

@DANO70: ok your feature request has been noticed. I see what i can do.

Hi everybody,

the issue with the progressive hotness is not the only frustating item in the player.
I have 2 screens with different resolutions. Can you imagine, how ridiculous it looks, when half a girl is big on the left screen, and the other half small on the right screen? This happens frequently in small mode.
On my large screen I want to work and watch the girls on the smaller screen. I didn't find a way yet, to tell the player only to use the right screen. The "Settings/Desktop/Working space/Sarts on: Right side" seems to be ignored.
With the old player this worked - so it is possible.

I also would apreciate it, if I could define a playlist not only for complete cards, but also for specific clips. What's so difficult about playing a list of clipfile-names insted of card-numbers?

Guys!

I agree!! what is up with these new demos? we only get 2, as opposed to the 3 that there used to be, and now every model is doing this beckoning gesture?! I have turned down more hot babes lately because of this, which some director at totem seems to think is a good idea. wrong! we pay to see these girls dance and strip, and that still needs to be represented in thier demos. what is up with Totem Lately? as stated above, this seems to have started with the dorcel cards, and now there is just no variety at all. so, why should I spend my money, Totem?

I just deleted my last post as it was getting too complicated. I've rehashed my Fire and Water scene using many tweaks including Beast's clipNameSprite code from his 'Shades' album (with a few more tweaks) and also added lezardo's new framebuffer with antiAlias shader code. This really does make a difference to older cards in particular :) Thanks to both of you guys, mucho!

The download is on Beast's sharing thread.

So this is how my Fire and Water 3 looks...

Edit: Oh. I deleted the shadows under the models. Most clips worked just fine but some of the older cards were way out of whack :(

I've posted a spin-off of this thread to the ideas forum with the title Add Support For Secondary Models Folder. I've included a poll.
