Yes. scale : -1, 1 is what we do now, but it would be in a more convenient position especially if you are using the same clip several times in a scene (which I have often done). Its advantage over *****: true is that it is a more general mechanism that can potentially be used for other purposes. I always prefer general solutions to specific fixes unless they are significantly more complex to use.

"*****: true" is kinda what i meant for newly created scenes and it not being present in older scenes would make them behave as they do now. Isn't "scale: -1, 1" what we already do though, just in a framebuffer rather than the clip define.

Last time i asked about the problem i was told it was because of "illogical lighting" which i thought was funny. Where the lights are coming from is far less noticable than writing being backwards.

@LittleEvilMe

Rebuild Collection Takes an Inventory of every clip in your collection
and stores this inventory list in the Models.lst file

If you have your Models Folder White listed from your Security software
4500 cards takes about 3 minutes or less

if you DO NOT have your Models folder white listed from your security software
it can take a Long long time.

because each time iStripper looks at a clip, so too, you security software will also look at it.
And your Security software adds a lot of delay to each and ever clip looked at.

15 minutes or longer would not be unusual.

Yes, I agree that the product (both as beauty/ability of models hired and as video quality) has been very much improved in last times. I am very happy too about that.

Hah! What am I ***** about? Totem seemed to have created quite a few professional coder for iStripper lol

@z22 - I would do it slightly differently. rather than "add a new flag to the .scn" I think I would do it a a slightly lower level, namely as an attribute of a Clip so that you can control each individually - this in its simplest form would be something like

clip {
id: Girl
*****: true
}

although I think I would prefer to have it a little more general

clip {
id: Girl
scale: -1, 1
}

Thats great thanks guys

Jia Lissa makes me crazy 😵

@LittleEvilMe

1. @Dorsai6 has provided the answer to this.
2. I did them manually, but I only did a handfull as it was just a bit of fun.
3. Yes
4. With my collection of over 2,500 cards a rebuild take 2 or 3 minutes.

I just wanted to take the time to show my appreciation for the amazing job the team has done for us this year!
You guys have gone above and beyond to provide us with the most gorgeous women from around the globe again, making this year's advent calendar exceptional! Normally i don't like buying a package deal because you get shows in there that you normally wouldn't buy, but i decided to buy this year's advent calendar and i have yet to find a show that i would not have bought on it's own. Truly an amazing job!

Thanks for the amazing product and all the work the team keeps putting in!
Best wishes and happy holidays from a very pleased customer!

This thread explains how clip numbers are generated and what they mean. Obviously you can't have two clips with the same number.

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/39331/1?_stoken=decode+clip+number&_sanchor=578811&_spage=1&_scat=

@Dentrassy

Hi

thanks for explaining how that was done. I would like to try do this myself but i have some questions though,
1. What is the significance of the number 1056301 you chose to use when renaming the file name to e0102_1056301.vghd, is this what dictates the type of clip ie top, cage, table etc. if so do you have a list of which numbers mean what?
2. presumably you have to do this for each card one by one manually for every card for which you want to use the transition clips.
3. I would only want to use the hanging clips in fullscreen are these always listed as it05 so that i can be sure i always pick the right file?
4. if i was only changing 1 file (the it05 ones) in say the entire 3K and 4K collections how long do you think the rebuild of my collection would take.

Thanks in advance

Here's one I prepared earlier.
To do this I made a copy of the transition clip and renamed the copy so it appears to be a standard clip type. After running “Rebuild collection” the new clip is available to use.

For example, the Sharon Lee clip in the attached screenshot is a copy of "e0102_it05_38912301.vghd".
Using file explorer I did a copy and paste (in the same directory) giving me "e0102_it05_38912301 - Copy.vghd".

I renamed the copy to "e0102_1056301.vghd", after a rebuild of my collection this shows as “Top of Screen with Accessories”. I chose this clip type because at the time (April 2015) I did not have any swing clips with accessories in my collection.

I have also used the “it01” clips (girls walking around looking bored) in some fullscreen scenes. I renamed these to be Cage clips because there are no Cage clips in any of the E series cards.
For Sharron Lee’s card I renamed “e0102_it01_38912301 - Copy.vghd” to “e0102_512301.vghd”.

Don't forget, You must "Rebuild Collection" after creating the new clips.

Simple solution for legacy support of the older scenes ... ish. Add a new flag to the .scn to use the corrected version, if the flag isn't present it works as it does now. So the legacy scenes would still work as intended without modification.

I'm not holding my breath for any improvements to the fullscreen, they still have bugs in the main software we reported years ago and they are far more important. I think we have more chance of someone making a seperate player with it's own fullscreen scene support.

@Slayer888 Hello. If you buy the calender, all cards till Xmas are already yours a day in advance, which means that you just have to download them - so that both demos and full animations will be delivered to you at same time.

Question

So if u buy the calender each of the girls are only demo and not the full show amd you have to buy each girl sapaply? Or you see the demo and have to download the girls??

@DevaLand2 Hi, I have just sent you an email.

Interesting discussion about 'flipping' of clipsprites. Unfortunately the OP started it in da New Users thread so it is devoid of any explanatory pics..
http://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/43632/1?post=644270

@NotyaBusiness

There are scenes where it is important that no flipping is performed - e.g. where inout clips are used to have the girls enter or exit through a doorway situated towards one side of the screen. If, as you suggest, Totem were to ***** the clips then these scenes would not work. These could usually be reworked easily enough, but in some cases the nested dependancies can be quite complex as can the relationships between the clip orientations and animate: clauses moving them, the camera, or other objects about in the scene. There is no simple answer that would fit all cases.

Yes, the two greatest bugbears for peeps learning to code .scn files have been:
1. left-right mirroring of clipsprites
2. Y axis inversion of textures (image files) when they are used with frag shaders

I've long thought that Totem would eventually upgrade their fullscreen platform
to give us more channels for sound and movie files, a la shadertoy.com 's webGL
however with the cashflow imperatives directing all effort to money spinning
ventures ONLY, it is hard to see that changing soon.

I am just glad that the screensaver (as an 'off the shelf' ) platform was incorporated
in the original design of Virtuagirl in the first place. Kudos to Lezardo, StarryK
Wyldanimal, TheEmu and others for making it at least understandable & workable.

@NotyaBusiness

It would be trivial for Totem to fix the left-right ***** - but that would mean that thousands of user created scenes that have already allowed for this peculiarity would then have to be modified. Fixing the original problem would create a bigger problem than just leaving it as it is. There are times when it is preferable to stick with an established sub-optimal behaviour rather than change it to be more "correct".

Yes It would take an update and probably a re-install and re-downloads. I see your point I mean some of you have like hundreds of girls and shows downloaded and yeah I get it, downloading everything all over again could take ages. I only have 15 shows only lol

@NotyaBusiness

Fixing the original problem would create a bigger problem than just leaving it as it is. There are times when it is preferable to stick with an established sub-optimal behaviour rather than change it to be more "correct" - backward compatibility can sometimes be more important than fixing a ***** bug.

Yes the change in the code provided is easy enough, but doing it for every scenes is a bit frustrating and it's just not worth my time. The real question is that how come the devs have not found a solution for it for over a decade. Curious.

@orclover

My Bad, I misread the Title...

My Clip Player can not be used with FullScreen Scenes..
Not Since a couple years ago...
The Control to Start a Full Screen Screen with a Clip Name Pushed to it
has been non-Functional for a few years.


You would have to Create a playlist .vpl file with IT clips in it.
And Currently, you have to use a 3rd party app to do that.


Then Insert that Playlist into the Next list on the Now Playing Tab.
Then Start Full Screen, so it uses the Playlist.

I've been able to insert the IT clip into the next....but I have not been able to get it to play in the FS scene. There is a slight delay and it moves onto another clip. I wonder if there is an input in the .scn that is needed to play IT clips...they do not belong in any of the other categories such as standing, pole, table...etc....

@Wyldanimal Thank you for the clarification...So If I selcet the second option for delete p2p previews etc...Will all of my previews then be deleted? I kind of rely on those to make clip decisions.

I logged in to DevaLand2 no credits... what can i do now?

No

Was 4k available to us prior to the premium update? I can't recall.

Since we're talking about 3rd party app, is there a way to remotely ***** a playing clip and to go to next clip in the playlist? Some wildcard character we could push instead of a clip filename? Something that would do the same effect as the 'Next model' in the contextual menu.

What is the P2P feature.

All members who have Preview clips can be part of the Peer to Peer file sharing network.
The More members who participate
the faster the Free Previews can be shared among all of the Participants.

The Speed Limit slider is, How Much Bandwidth you are going to Share to Others.
It has NO effect on your own Download Speed.

If P2P is ON
then Any Card you have, that has Preview clips, are made available to the Peer Network to Share to Others.
You are then Part of the Sharing Network.
All or Part of your clips ( Previews only ) will be shared to others.

Also, Any Preview clips you Download will then also come from the Peer Network.

If P2P is OFF
You will only be using the iStripper Servers to Download cards.
You Might have restrictions on downloading Previews, if you Haven't made a purchase from iStripper.

Only Members who have Purchased from iStripper will have unlimited Downloads from the iStripper Servers.
and are allowed to Turn off P2P

Free members, who have not Purchased from iStripper use P2P for their Free Previews.
if a Free Member turns P2P off, they might no longer be able to download the Previews after reaching a limit.

@Snakeman1066
Have you enabled all the categories in the setup tab of the GUI to see and play the shows from Your Collection tab ?

Never use P2P to Download a Purchased Card.

Always Turn of P2P, when you are downloading a Bought Card.

P2P is ONLY for Free Previews.
when you are done downloading your Purchased cards,
turn P2P back on for the free Previews again.

Melenia is one fun looking hot sweetie, i enjoy her shows, her smile and perkiness are awesome, she has such a hot little body, just oil.... oh my god!!! thanks for being here and sharing yourself with us.

I've had P2P from 300kb/s up to 1.5mb/sec
But with regular Speed it goes to Max Download Speed, (Around 5 MB/S)
So it's better when it's set to normal, but I wishy there was a Download Speed Limit selector...
So I couyld max out mine at around 4.5 - 3.5 mb/s and not have to use all my bandwith there...
P2P does vary depending on the user/s you're downloading from, I do recommend turning off the P2P, or at least setting it to the highest value.

Hope this helps..

@Kassiopeia,

Sorry. I've been overloaded with work for the past 4 months. I haven't modified my Playlist Generator to work with the new models.lst format. I hope to do it in the next 2-3 weeks.

I'll post a message here when it's done. The new version also has a much improved user interface and some additional capabilities.

I was used to paying $1 a card then Totem switched to the new creditsYes. Long ago. Many years ago you could get the cards for 1€ per card, but that required a monthly subscription.Totem didn't shut down the subscriptions.they did stop selling new ones.As long as your Subscription payment renewed, your subscription continued.when I joined was 2€ each now they are 2.50€Yes, that was 10 or 11 years ago, single cards were 2 credits each, and a credit, when bought in bulk, was about $1 per credit.But at the time that the credit system changed to 1 credit = 10 credits.the single card price was 2.5 credits. Single cards price is now 25 credits. So the 10x credit change did not affect card prices.as stated above, the cards had a 25% price increase in the last 11 years.and No increase in at least the last 8 years.

Damn, i miss that old system. I was a collector at that time, too. In my mind i had 1 €=1 Credit, a card catched on disount for 1, regular for 2.

When the credit system came up, i couldnt get rid of that in my mind, even if i knew it was wrong, it felt like a card is now 25€ by costing of 25 Credit.
It also felt like loosing the easy overview, by calculating each time of the credit to money, including the disounts and %, how much a card is now for real.

That was the time i stopped collecting, not on purpose, it just lost its attraction to me.


But i still miss it sometimes. I still have my playlist of all cards of my favorite 10 girls running.
I also think of remembering the quantity gone up. Possible it was one card each Friday(?) where you were looking forward to during the week, and then it got serveral releases each day? Not sure, was 7 years ago :D

Sry for offtopic and nekro, just got a bit nostalgic about :)

Does it depend on time of day as to which you choose? I would love to hear your experience.

I think you all missed something there, he meant fullscreen scenes, not large size on desktop.

A little bit more info.

My Clip player can be used for ***** and Drop.
Put a ShortCut to the EXE file on your desk top.

Open a Models folder
***** a Clip and Drop it on top of the Short Cut.

You can Also use it as a Clip Server.

write your Own App
have your App send my Clip Player the Path and Name of the Clip you want to play.

My Clip Player will then tell iStripper to Play that Clip.

So it has some Utility function if you want to experiment with your Own App.

or Just use it for ***** and Drop, no FIle Association is Needed for ***** n Drop.

Demo Video here
http://www.wyldanimal.com/files/Clip-Player/Clip-Player-as-a-Clip-Server.mp4

You Can also use my Associative Clip Player from 2008.

Unzip it to a Folder in your User Profile
Such as
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ClipPlayer

can be any folder you want to use.


Open one of the Models Folders.
Right Click on one of the .vghd files
Select Open With
Select Browse for App


Browse to the Folder where you save my Clip Player
and Click on the EXE file
make sure there is a check mark in Always use this app

Then Do the Same thing for a .Demo clip.

Now all of your .vghd and .demo clips are Associated to use my Player when you Double click on one of them.

Browse to ANY models folder, and Double click on one of the Animation files to Play that Clip.

PS.
iStripper must be running it can be Minimized to the System Tray, it doesn't have to be on Screen.

Works with All version of iStripper
Browse to a Models folder,
Double click on a Clip to play it.

Download it from here
http://www.wyldanimal.com/files/Clip-Player/iS-Clip-Player.zip

Here is a tutorial Video - Shows how to Unzip it, and then Associate it to the .vghd and .demo clips.

I may have made a ***** mistake last night when I said

You can see this if you use a simple shader that does nothing to a clip - the result is that the clip is displayed upside down.

I think I may have been misremembering what it was that revealed the need for the Y direction was flipped at some point in the rendering process, it may have been just the simple shader or it may have involved the use of a frame buffer (I rather think now that it was the latter, but I have no time to check before leaving for work). This makes no difference to what I was trying to say in the paragraph, namely that for one reason or another the the Y coordinate direction had to be flipped at some stage and this might, or might not, have been done in a way that simultaneously accidentally also flipped the X coordinate.

- Downloaded the .zip from the link provided on the first page. v2.8

• entered data folder path in the "input and output"
• clicked on "update from istripper
• > getting error message:

"Could not load models.lst file. It is version 281 and only version 280 will work."

In the iStripper settings it says I have 1.2.240 installed.

edit:
deleting the models.lst file made iStripper not start up anymore. Had to reinstall completly.

current state:
when iStripper is closed when using the Access database the "Could not load models.lst file." is still displayed.

when trying to "update from iStripper" when iStripper is running as well another message is triggered

"Runtime error 5
invalid procedure call or argument"

. . .
Is there a newer version of the Playlist manager that works with newer versions of iStripper?
or
Is this a problem with my specific installation?

@orclover,

My Playlist Generator is out of action until I modify it to support the new models.lst file format. Should be 2-3 weeks. When it works it is able to create playlists that include transtion clips. It is also able to enable or disable cards and clips by setting flags in the models.lst file.

Yes, there are some tricks.

The simplest trick is to put the file name to registry.
Assuming you know how to use Registry Editor: open Registry Editor, locate this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\vghd\parameterslocate the variable named "ForceAnim" and change its value to, lets say, "f0036_sc1_it08_9101.vghd" (use the file name you want to play as its value).

2nd: use Custom Playlist Manager from @Starryk or Playlist Generator from @Dorsai6. If I remember correctly, their apps allowed to create playlists consisting of transition clips and play them in full size.

3rd one is described here:
https://www.isworkshop.eu/index.php?p=multiple_models_on_one_screen_3

Thank you for the help. I was able to get the transition clips into istripper as indiviual clips but when I add them through the tried and true ***** and drop and then fullscreen it goes black and skips the clip. I'll try the playlist managers and see If I can get them to play.

"Groundhog Day"
Funny, with every special game, the same stuff is babbled again and again, again and again in a circle. 😆
"Groundhog Day"

Even if you scratch 5 X-es on the outer ring, you still have to scratch the center circle as well, and funnily enough, the higher rewards, like 50+ credits or Special Event cards seem more common during the times you don't scratch enough hearts on the outer ring.
That isn't encouragement to try again. It doesn't give a sense of "Aww, I almost had it".
Instead, that feels like a big f-you towards the customer.

The addition of the small bonus credits from the bottom bar might compensate from a tiny bit of the losses, but it's really just a fraction. Maybe set it to double the reward if the outer ring doesn't give enough X-es, but I'd still be wary of this game. It's more profitable to follow the previews tab for special offers, in my opinion.

Overal, scratchgame is, and probably always will be, the worst TGIF offer of the set.
