Yeah, just noticed it too. Wanted to buy some more creds. The final amount i have to spend in RUR is like ~7 times up higher now. No way i am paying that much, sorry VG ^^

@robbanzjo

thank you too!

As your suggestion, I asked Totem to remove those cards permanently.

Well all cards have a folder in the models map that you can delete so that you dont have it on the computer anymore.

The card will always be available in you collection to download it again later if you want. There is no way you can really delete it from your collection completely without help from Totem themslefs but i dont know if you can ask them to do that, if they would do that which i doubt im pretty sure you wont get a refund for it.

Doing what @spiderman1804 posted is a good way to ignore a card that you dont wana se tho.

@Spiderman1084

thx for answering, but I meant to remove them permanently, even from the 'Models' folder in C:\users\appdata\local\vghd...
Anyway, thanks again!

I use this filter settings (see picture) to hide the disabled cards.

@Hombre
Excellent, yep in your last PM you had:

• moved the theater a little left
• inc width & reduced height of theater a touch

here you increased model's standing position from y = +30 to -20
reduced model height a touch from 1060 to 950 pixels

It works fine on my screen
the heads of models no longer cut off
black lines on my resolution 1360 x 768 were ok (unaffected)
______________________________
when you edited the original X = -25 posn for the background to X = 0 like in your Edit4: just watch that the TV screen retains its mask correctly. I didn't alter the backdrop back to -25 but instead moved Rita's pictures a touch to the right, on my system to compensate.
ie: x value changed to 210 instead of 190 :
//TV layer1
sprite {
pos: 210, -430, -160

this is great @Hombre. All people will have different screens so you've shown in thread this tailoring with the presettings.

Tinker with scn files to fit your screen and remember ALWAYS FIRST !!! save to a NEW NAME like mysceneAA.scn so it doesn't overwrite your original scn , also you can compare later with what you have done ;)

I will not update the zip yet, because tweaking gently with the code and seeing what it does ie: ..resaving~watching~tweaking~resaving~watching.. is a great 'safe' introduction to coding any scenes for newbies.

nice i like it.

ok

Re: purpose of the demo carousel i

I'm doing some guessing here. I think that from Totem's perspective the carrousel is a sales tool. It puts unowned cards in front of you and encourages you to buy them. That's still true even without the discount.

From my perspective, the carrousel is a way to see demos of a card before I buy. Since the discount function of the carrousel is gone, I have suggested that Totem add a feature that will let a user place any card or cards of their choosing in the carrousel. My message is in the ideas forum. Others have suggested the opposite, that you should be able to play the demo clips of a card simply by clicking on it in the Store Tab. This issue has been discussed or at least commented on in many threads all over these forums.

Full Screen run on the GPU, so the display is similar to that of a Gaming screen Overlayed above the desktop.

The Actual Computer desktop is suspended in the Background, and what we see is the overlayed Image from the GPU.

so that's why your screen cap program only captures a black screen.

best way I can describe it..

Totem has a built in Screen capture by pressing the "S" key.
the captured images are saved in the Data\Scenes folder

yes, yes, I understand the new pricing structure, and I have the new version of the software. I guess I don't understand the purpose of the demo carousel if it doesn't offer a separate discount as it used to.

1.1.0.84 and all versions before 1.2.0.46 without support of new vg/db interactive cards and will not play them, it not depends from cards resolution, the differencies in the core of software (84 don't reading new cards at all)

very useful AND JUST NECESSARY addons for members with big collections - the player by WildAnimal and vghd playlist manager by Starryk - can work only with versions before 1.2.0.38 because an external control of the card/clips has been removed from vghd since 1.2.0.38 (i think it was needed for clarity in rewriting the engine)

Rex wrote that control function will be returned and very improved in next version
until then last version for vghd addons is only 1.2.0.34 without new cards support

i not recommend use old and stable 1.1.0.84 as a main vghd client - the new versions will better with members feedbacks. soon or later all critical software aspects will be solved, gpu acceleration is only one part of usability and stability, many depended from qt framework - qt is the best platform for applications in the world, but it's a big and not easy code also

Totem will solve all that planned - it was in 2002, in 2007, it will be and in 2015

rita69 thanks for the links

Virtual Christmas cards are instant, so there's still time... ;)

Hi everyone!

I want to remove some cards that I don't like more.
I tried to do it with the appropriate command, but the cards are still in my collection.
Is there a way to delete them permanently?
Thank you very much!

Re: is this covered in another post?

Yes, a few dozen. About 3 months ago Totem came out with a new pricing structure and a new version of the VG application to support that pricing. The old version of the software doesn't display prices correctly in the carrousel. It also won't work with the new 3K cards.

The following thread covers the situation, but there are many other threads about it in the Bug & Fixes section.

Forum > What's new about VirtuaGirl? > Brand new version now available for everyone - update now [...]

Thanks for doing this buddy :) You were right. It does work pretty well as a fullscreen show!

Just 2 little things I noticed after a few girls had appeared. Some of the girls were scaled up off the top of the screen and also, they are right at the limit on the bottom. Can you resize the clips a tad so they all fit on the screen ok? I'm using 1920 x 1080. I can do this myself for my own screen but I'm thinking of other guys who might want to use this one ;)

Good job, buddy!

@Number6: We are all a little sad, methinks! ;) I could be out looking for women in the real world! I may be 51 but I can still pass for 40;)

I'm all for sharing and helping any way I can in the forum.

This is a great idea by Everthang. Every artist here can have their work immortalised in fullscreen!

I will say tho that my contribution to this one was only that I found and used the background in one of my own images. I didn't create the original! :)

Edit: I just reset the code to this:

// Show model center
clipSprite {
pos: 0, -5, 0
rot: 0, 0, 0
source: clip
material: true
standingHeight: 950
opacity: 1.0

I tried a few s.caps but for some strange reason they all came out black??? Anyway, the Y pos is now lifted a touch off the bottom and most clips are now within the bounds of the screen :)

Edit 2: Changed it again slightly:

// Show model center
clipSprite {
pos: 0, 20, 0
rot: 0, 0, 0
source: clip
material: true
standingHeight: 950
opacity: 1.0

Now the models are just a tiny fraction above the bottom of the screen. All looks good now :)


Edit3: For some strange reason, my screencap software (ScreenHunter 6.0) only takes blacked-out caps of VG fullscreen images. Anything else works fine. Then I remembered that hitting the 'S' key takes caps and saves them in the scenes folder :)

Edit4: I just noticed that there's a black bar down the right side of the screen. I edited your X pos for the background to 0. This got rid of it :)

just got a Christmas card from my cable company, my bank, and my insurance agent. was hoping totem would give me one too! lol

was wondering why my demo carousel doesn't offer an extra discount like it used to? is this covered in another post?

Still no picture... ;(

At last, I can enjoy the fruits of my labour... :)

@EverthangForever

Well that one works quite well for me as I have an Xmas play list (yes I know I'm sad) set up where the models are wearing (or not wearing, as the show progresses) predominantly red or green.

Hopefully more people will get into the idea of sharing their artwork for full screen scenes. Either by suggesting their own stuff or someone else's work (with their permission of course).

Since version 1.2.0.46 clips of a card about 7 minutes to play before moving to the next card.

added first 3-way collaboration: congrats!
Happy Festive Season to all. Hope there's more, Enjoy ;)

Thanks Arseneo,
Supa great. sc00fy was supa cool too and did provide more or less the same information.
I've got to reverse my desktop to 1.1.0.84 to try to see if playlist creating/applying (which I do now need, for my collection has grown bigger) are working properly in this version, and also to have random/progressive hotness work as expected ...you know merely to have the damn software decently usable !

Multiple girls and extra size (lagging in my yet recent laptop, so not useful anyway at least unless gpu acceleration is figured out again by the software team) and so are nice features but not KEY ones, I mean Totem really missed a point in presenting version having such regressions in primary (basis !!!) functions.
I guess I may find out that even in 1080p resolution new cards won't play on 1.1.0.8x but it'd be nice to have a usable software again anyway. Will see depending if I reverse my laptop too (since you can buy with decimal price systems and discount from the website, not the most practical crossover, but doable)...

It's the same on a mac, and the software is identical as far as I can tell, The only difference that I can tell is the startup home screen. Other than you can have both apps simmotaniously,,

I'm just returning to VG (using the PC), but my DB cards work fine within VG, and I see options to purchase new DB cards. Do I need to go to deskbabes.com for any reason, or can I stick with the VG app? In fact, it seems cheaper to purchase through the software rather than the website, yes?

for Windows

1.1.0.84 - super stable release with clips scaling options (which was removed from 86), the best version for old pc's or for just weak laptops, NEW VGI/DBI CARDS NOT SUPPORTED, this version just for playing 480/720/1080p cards on the second device

http://my-files.ru/zyyd7y.virtuagirl_1.1.0.84.exe
md5: f292575f344c696967ab6490803063ed

1.2.0.34 - at this moment this is a last version with not removed external control of the card/clips for use the addons by WildAnimal and Starryk, NEW VGI/DBI CARDS NOT SUPPORTED, this build will not be needed after returned external control

http://my-files.ru/w2scg1.virtuagirl_1.2.0.34.exe
md5: dc73f81c7ab76176734881620891486a

1.2.0.52 - just for save the current version that working. very slow, but with new feautures and new cards/prices/discounts support

http://my-files.ru/n127vj.virtuagirl_1.2.0.52.exe
md5: fe93de6977fbc397da56a6e4b14a4aca

@Number6 sure. The other point to note, is that for any image posted by another member here ..the original name gets scambled by Totem when you try to save it :(. To me its a natural step forward that ALL artists here can collaborate and have the opportunity to get their work translated into fullscreen dynamics. I'm more of a technician than an artist! Well @Lunarpup et al may save the red room TV scene from extinction yet,. I'll go and have another look. thanks for your thoughts. cheers ;)

well, and a now shortly about quick changing the vghd software

with installed vghd new setup not needed, DON'T CHANGE YOUR VGHD REGISTRATION without needs
replace the client application on second pc WITHOUT CHANGING ACCOUNT ACCESS KEYS is easy to do:

0: unload both loaded vghd exes (downloader via task manager if allowed after quits)

1: unpack original vgsetup.exe with inno unpacker and place the files where you want
Inno Setup Unpacker is free tool, take the last version from SourceForge: http://innounp.sf.net/

2: save your current registry settings to file before doing any changes
press Win+R, type CMD and press Enter, then paste to the console a command below and press Enter:
reg.exe export "HKCU\Software\Totem" "%HomeDrive%%HomePath%\totem.reg"

be sure that you have saved YOUR ACCOUNT ACCESS KEYS WITH THEIR CONTENTS
notepad.exe "%HomeDrive%%HomePath%\totem.reg"

3: change the current data to version 1.1.0.84 (only of two values if your pathes stay the same)
paste both commands below and press Enter:
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Totem\vghd\DLM" /v "version" /d "1010084" /f
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Totem\vghd\DLM" /v "installedon" /d "0108130000" /f

if the files in other locations then change corresponding values of "vghd\System" subkey

4: delete the prevention keys before start any previous version, they will created by vghd again
for %K in (Spin2 Stdin2) do reg.exe delete "HKCU\Software\%K" /f >nul 2>^&1

5: "Trolltech" and "QtProject" keys can be used by other apps, look inside carefully before deletion
for %K in (Trolltech QtProject) do reg.exe query "HKCU\Software\%K" /s

don't delete that you haven't under control

6: start vghd.exe without parameters and enjoy the simplicity

return to new version is easy also: unload exes, replace the files, import saved regfile, start vghd
.

build 84 the best for old machines, stable as 86 and have the scale options which was removed from 86
NOTE THAT ALL NEW FEAUTURES, 3K CARDS, NEW PRICES AND DISCOUNTS INACCESSIBLE UNDER VERSIONS 1.1.X

i use 1.2, but want HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF PLAYABLE COLLECTION ON ANY PC (all cards before 3k)
NOTE THAT MAIN VERSION IS LAST STABLE RELEASE FROM LINE 1.2, ALL 1.1 CAN BE NOT SERVED AT ALL

whooh, the ***** in your eyes? stand up, warrior! just get the best portable antivirus and scan: http://emsisoft.com/en/software/eek/

yes, we can download 1.1.0.84 again, take the original vgsetup.exe here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-3o3bU3o2fMOWkzY1pya0puUG8/view?usp=sharing

With regard to copyright and restrictions of images I must admit that I am unsure as to the provenance of some of the images I have used in my full screen scenes.

Many of the images I have were downloaded from usenet over the years. As they have been publically uploaded to the internet I have assumed that these are in the public domain. In many cases there is no way of checking as the filename may be totally different from the original filename.Similarly with stuff downloaded from Google images, if they have not had a "takedown notice" then I have assumed that the images are in the public domain. Where a website is specified I often visit the website to see if there are any restrictions on the use of images. The biggest problem is where someone has renamed a file. I come across this quite frequently on Google where the same image appears on a number of different websites but with different filenames. Unless any of the websites specifically claim copyright of the image then I have to assume that the image is in the public domain.

Then there is the problem of an originally copyrighted image being edited by someone to the extent that it may actually be considered as a new image. I have seen this argued on a number of occasions on usenet.

All I can say is that if I know the image is from a source such as Deviant Art then I will not use it.

The "space" images I have used I know must have come from NASA. There is no other real source for these and I know many of the ones I have used come directly from the NASA image of the day RSS feed. The images for other scenes such as the Xmas scenes are freely available from Google on a simple search and again where I have been able to check there has been no copyright or usage requirements. Similarly with the fractal images these have generally been downloaded from usenet. Some I have even created myself. Some that I have yet to upload have been created by @Lunarpup.

The whole copyright thing is a bit of a minefield and as previously stated I do not use images where I know there is a definite copyright restriction. Unless someone specifically asks me to desist then I will continue to use the images that have downloaded and I assume to be in the public domain.

In addition I would add that this is a closed forum and sharing of images is restricted to a closed group of which probably, looking at comments, only about a dozen or so people actually download the shared scenes.

Moderators would you care to comment/advise on this.

@Wyldanimal:

Thanks for the tip. I will look into that in the new year.

You should have a look at https://www.entropay.com/
There might be Similar companies that provide On-Line Virtual Credit Cards as well.
But I've been Using Entropay for some time..

It Was a ***** Getting Setup, Since they Are in the UK, my Bank Froze my Account till I verified I initiated the transactions.
Dummy Me, did it on a Friday..
And My Bank isn't open on the Weekends, So my Account was frozen
Sat, Sun, and Mon till I could verify I made the Purchase.

But once I had that Sorted
( for the record, the Bank was just protecting me as they saw a suspicious purchase from the UK )
Now with My Entropay account set up.

I log on, Transfer funds from my Bank account to my Virtual Credit Card.

Then I get the Virtual Visa Credit Card number that I use On-line, just like an Ordinary Credit card.

It's not attached to my bank Account,
Only to the On-line Virtual Card.

So the only funds at risk, are the funds I put in the Virtual Card.

https://www.entropay.com/

it's supposed to be a Global Company so it should work anywhere Visa is Accepted.

Now that it is all set up.

all I need is internet access, and a web browser to transfer funds, get a prepaid Virtual VISA card, and Make an On-line Purchase.

PS: The Fee is 4.95% So If I load $100 in my Virtual Card, The Fee is $4.95
Total cost $104.95 to have a $100 Prepaid Virtual Credit card.
There is No Fee to Use the Virtual Card Funds.
The Fee is Only Charged when I load More Funds.

I agree with you, @Wyldanimal, all of that pocket change is not missed at the end of the day. Unfortunately, I cannot take that pocket change to Wal-Mart to buy VirtuGirl credits.

I can, however, purchase a pre-paid credit card from Money-Mart with all of that pocket change. Since I live in Canada, I pay more than the advertised price for credits. 50 credits cost me $68.40 plus the pre-paid credit fees (about $25.00). So at the end of the day, I am paying about $90.00 for 50 credits. For what those credits get me I do not find that overly expensive, but that is a lot of pocket change.

Credits are cheap. Here is real expense for me:

I live and work in the Canadian Arctic.

Money-Mart or Wal-Mart for that matter, are in Yellowknife NWT. I am in Norman Wells NWT. 530 miles between the two. Chartered airplane rides are $850.00 one way. 2 flights per week weather permitting.

So in the end, those 50 credits will cost me $90.00 plus $1700.00 in air-fair plus 2 nights in a hotel at $140.00 per night for a grand total of $2070.00.

That's enough pocket change to be missed.

PS I did not even mention how much I lose taking 3 days off work.

Does deskbabes no longer offer 1 model a day with a recurring subscription ? I noticed i was getting billed the monthly fee but no new models in a month

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Its not rocket science to see why so few people are posting scenes here. If you go to Deviant Art for instance and read their policy, its clear that anything to do with nudity is a big no no. So asking permission if you can use their authors' pics or any author's pics to adapt & publish on an adult site like this , has a snowball's chance in hell probably. Maybe iDancer will change all that. I hope so :(

@TracerKl Read the postings of Rex, man. page 1 of the "pop up Topic"! The posting I'm referring to IS indeed about the playlist manager... ;-)

well here's what you Do...
Every time you buy something and you get some coins back as change..
Put the coins in a jar..
Before you know it, the coins will have amassed to enough for you to buy the cards you want.
A little spare pocket change, can add up pretty fast.
and for Most of us, that pocket change at the end of the day, it's not even missed.

Thank you to 67 members.

With how everything is currently being sold it's hard for me to buy anyone. I don't have a lot of money so when I see that I have to drop 12 dollars to get like 4 girls (not counting 3k models), it's disheartening. I have to pay for bills and other necessities and with everything paid, I don't have much left over. I hope there will be something else in the near future or I will probably not purchase any girls anymore because of how costly they are.

For some reason my playlist manager has been getting an error, even with .34 installed... And I am now stuck without a manager entirely, and very frustrated by it...

Please release the new update and manager soon.

@Hemingford: This topic is not about the popup, it's about the playlist manager.

My settings return to default after I change them. The same girl keeps coming back and the time delay reverts to constant. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else have this problem?

by platinum Avatarr - 10 hour(s) ago
The idea after that was to try to make a "template-for-dummies". Like, take some album-oriented pics from bonus pics, rename em, replace the old ones, and u r set. Maybe even have a simple .bat doing the latter steps. It ran smoothly on my laptop, but i am aware its still sometimes considered "above average" despite hitting 3yo soon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

That was a good Idea, and it would work for fast computers.
I think if the Images were just reduced in size, then it wouldn't be so choppy on slower computers.

make your template Idea to used a Fixed Image Size based on the FOV.
maybe try to get it to be 4K
2160h x 3800w
The Example I created has that exact FOV

when I get home ( at work on a brake )
I'll redo the template Idea using a Fixed Image size..

Then Like you said.
you can drop in any group of 7 pictures sized the same, and renamed to pic1, pic2, pic3....
and have a different experience each time.

@Avatarr, you can do what @No.6 and @Wyldanimal do and define your backdrop texture source as just the image folder name. Eg: as @wyld shows in +Snow - white1.scn

texture {
id: BackDrop2
source: /images/backgrounds/Ice
}
where /Ice is a folder of several images

..then VGPlayer will select a random image each time you cycle the scene say by right-clicking your mouse. If you want them to spontaneously change, as fast as the sideways pan rate on a loopforward animation you can't, because Totem have set a minimum of 5 minutes between scene cycles :(

@Wyld
"I like the Voyeur Idea.. there's a little pervert in all of us...
Who can resit watching the neighbor through the Window get undressed?"
When i was testing those i almost wished there were more shows with LESS eye contact. I mean its me who supposed to be peeking, not AT me ^^

Actually, i did roughly what you did as a beta-test of the scene (although i think mine was more clumsy), it managed to have no gap between loopforward cycles.

The idea after that was to try to make a "template-for-dummies". Like, take some album-oriented pics from bonus pics, rename em, replace the old ones, and u r set. Maybe even have a simple .bat doing the latter steps. It ran smoothly on my laptop, but i am aware its still sometimes considered "above average" despite hitting 3yo soon.

P.S. Any ideas how to change multiple backgrounds without moving em to sides? I tried animating opacity, but my head exploded after the number reached 3 ^^
