I side with @Dorsai6 on this point. This is a consumer product and all features should be in obvious places not hidden away behind multi-fingered key presses and two or more levels of menu. In the particular case in question why would anyone think that sending a Personal Message was hidden behind an icon that was labeled "Edit Profile" and the same is true for the go to Website button. What has either of these actions, from a user's point of view, to do with their profile let alone editing it? I suspect that the features have been gathered together because they share some common implementation (they need access to the user's profile) but that is an implementor's view of things, not a users.

It is no good saying that users should read the manual (though they should be encouraged to do so) as the need to read a manual has long been regarded as obsolete for this type of program and most users have the expectation not to have to do so.

I ***** having to right click on an icon to discover it contains a non-obvious feature.

I'm a minimalist when it comes to basic interfaces.
Nice and simple,

but with powerful advanced features, available to those who know where they are.
Right Click, Shift Click, Ctrl Click, Function Key menus
Advanced Menus - Yes !

Ha, brings back memories.

I decode all of this back in 2008, when I wrote my Clip Player program.
( double click on a clip file and it would play that clip )

I sat and watched clip after clip after clip, till I had enough notes to figure out
what the Numbers all meant...

There's a lot more to it than that.. but that's how I figured it out...
trial and error

Then I wrote a post on the forum with all of my findings.
A member of the QA team at that time,
wrote back that I was close...
well I was spot on, just I had used the Final sums of the bit patterns in my post
I had known it was based on a bit pattern, but I didn't have, at that time, broken down what each bit was used for.

with this members list of bits,
I was able to compare it to mine, and confirm my own trial and error findings, and write my Clip Player, as a GUI based
app.

It no longer works with the Current version of iStripper, and I will probably not develop it any further..
this was the First ADD On approved by the Team.

I just sent you a PM and you should be able to reply. To send a PM, you click on the person's icon and a dialog box appears showing their collection. On the middle left is a button "Send a message". It took me a while to discover this too.

Some times I think the Totem developers are gamers who enjoy discovering new capabilities in their software. I'm a business systems developer who want all capabilities to be well advertised and obvious. I ***** having to right click on an icon to discover it contains a non-obvious feature. The trash can icon of iStripper is an example of this bad practice.

I would like to send a private message to Dorsai6 and thank him for his answers and asking him for his Apple script.
But I don't know how to send such a message: from what adress to what adress?
Sorry, that's definitely stupid , but I just use my computer instead of programming it. If there is an easy way to send you a private message, please show and tell.
Thanks.

One nice feature of the latest versions (I think only in 1.2.230 and 1.2.232) is that the Category clause now works for all categories - or at least Totem claimed that it did when 1.2.230 was released. For example I have a simple hospital scene in which the girl to be used as the performer is defined by

clip {
id : Girl1
category : nurse
deny : top, table, pole, cage, glass
}

and lo and behold only clips from cards that feature nurses appear in the scene. This is a useful feature when tailoring scenes but which had previously only worked for a small number of categories. I have only tried a few, but one thing to note is that you use "category : duo" to get what is listed as Lesbian in the filters.

RE: sc clips

@Wyldanimal is the expert on this. My understanding is the sc clips were intended to be played in order. That is all the sc1 clips should be played in order of increasing hotness. I don't think iStripper has logic to do this, but I haven't done any experimenting to confirm this. Only some older XXX cards have sc clips.

Are there any improvements to iStripper running on Mac?

NO! To the best of my knowledge iStripper does not run as well on the Mac as it does under Windows. My household has been a Mac-only environment since 1985 and I've never owned a DOS or Windows computer. I presently have a 2013 Mac Pro with three attached displays and a 2016 MacBook Pro. I've noted the following issues when running iStripper on my Mac's:

1. You can not place a card on top of a window in the Mac environment.

2. When I play multiple cards on multiple monitors at the same time the responsiveness of iStripper becomes terrible. Latency time for a mouse clip can exceed 3 minutes. I only play cards on one display for this reason.

3. Even when playing on one display, every so often iStripper has an attack of "the slows". Latency can exceed 2 minutes, but this only lasts for 2-10 minutes before iStripper returns to normal behavior. I suspect garbage collection, but I have no evidence.

4. It is not possible to change the currently playing clip using a program. This capability exists for Windows and existed for the Mac with VirtuaGirl. When iStripper was released, it was lost for the Mac. I suspect an error when Totem ported iStripper from Windows to the Mac, but they have never corrected it. Under Windows this capability is achieved by changing a value in the Registry. On the Mac the same capability was achieved by changing a value in the iStripper Preference File. That value is still present in the Preference File, but changes are now ignored.

If you have any other iStripper Mac-related questions, I'll try to answer them. I've done a lot of experimenting with iStripper on my Macs.

Здравствуйте! Я надеюсь получить ответ, как исправить ошибку.

Yes. The encoding scheme is the same on a Mac as on Windows. I have an AppleScript (Mac application) that will decode all card and clip information from the models.lst file, the card's XML file and the clip file number and generate CSV files that can be imported into a spreadsheet. It's out of date because I stopped maintaining it when I developed my Playlist Generator. Send me your email address in a Private Message and I'll be happy to send you a copy.

@wrdlprmf

As TheEmu said I developed the application on my Mac, but in a Windows environment. I use VMware Fusion to run a virtual PC with Windows 7. I think the tool should run under Boot Camp, but I've never tested it in that environment. The tool itself was developed in Microsoft Access which, unfortunately, does not run under the Mac's OSX.

Thanks so much for this information!

However, still no nude shots in the photo set! (except one very close shot) Stockings are worn im every photo! Please provide multiple fully nude shots....

1.
Tsss, tsss, tsss, for me if I can see tits and pussy the girl is fully nude stockings or not (but maybe you're a feet fetish who doesn't understand the meaning of nude), in other word if she doesn't have top, bra, bottom and pantie on... she is nude with stockings or not (socks or not).
"You're not nude you still have you're socks on" XD

2.
If there isn't "no stockings" photoshots, they will not grab back the girl to take the shots you want in there...

Please don't post such nonsense...
And maybe lower your expectations a little before it's become an obsession

Till we get a comment section open on the VR page (the page will be improved soon), feel free to post your comment about the VR show on her show page, yes :)
You can also decide to create a topic on "Everything about iStripper" and to write your reviews there :)

I decided to purchase an Oculus Rift headset a while back for the games and experience it offered so having iStripper VR content is an added bonus.

The VR shows are a terrific and far more immersive experience. There are still some I won't be buying based on my preference for the girl but I have already purchased more than I thought I would. My favourite so far is Francys Belle as the teasing she does up close in leaning in for a case and presenting her fimgers for you to lick was awesome. It felt like she was really that 'up close and personal' to you and I swear I could taste her juices on her fingers when she presented them.

Each downloaded file has a card number which matches the VG show of the same model and outfit so maybe it will be appropriate to comment there when the show is released if we aren't to have a comments section just for the VR shows? Any guidence from Totem on whether that will be acceptable? However, it does mean you have to wait for the card to be released, and of the VR shows I have purchased that only applies to Stella Flex's card 'Hot and Steamy' f0464. The plu sside is that gives us anotehr 'headsup' on future models and outfits and I too am delighted to know that Red Fox will be returning.

I think the encoding of file names in Windows and on the Mac does not differ.

###

When a show is played in the desktop mode, then the clips are played in a sequence if possible.
This is possible since late 2014. Older shows play the clips only one by one.

It is possible that two clips are played directly one after the other, if the coding of the clips allows this.
In other cases, one or more transition clips (ITxx) are played between the two clips.

For filename encoding see this thread

http://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/29149/1?post=456786

I don't run istripper on a Mac so I can't comment on that.

My thanks to TheEmu. The handbag question is solved.
Two strikes remain:
1. What is the meaning of the clip code?
2. Are there any improvements to iStripper running on Mac?

@wrdlprmf in the posting that @Dorsai posted a link to it says that he developed it on a Mac and tells you what you need to run it on one.

The Handbag icon indicates that the clip features an accessory.

This may be almost anything - a handbag, a hat, a parasol, a riding crop, a stool, an armchair, a desk, a bath, a motorbike, a car or a sex toy. On iStripperXXX cards it is, I think, always a sex toy but that can not be guarenteed. The large items were quite common in old cards but are now not used (which I think is a pity).

I remember to have read a blog post months ago where someone explained the meaning of the codes of clips. To know that meaning could be very useful in deciding which clips to group in a playlist without having to view them.

For example, there are clips belonging to a greater "scene", like in Aislin: ***** Takeover. There one clip is encoded as
f0153_sc2_9101.demo
"f0153" is obviously the number of the model card titled "***** Takeover". Then it seems part of a greater scene "sc2" which allows to connect them to other "sc2"-clips of "***** Takeover" resulting in a consistent and progressing show.

But there are other examples, where this is not possible, e.g. Alba da Silva: "Sex On A Leash". Here you find codes like
f0343_2048401.vghd, and I am completely without any clue what to make of that. Another clip is named
f0343_22528403.vghd and I wonder, how both connect or don't.

Somebody has already explained it somewhere in this blog, but who and where?

Finally: Some clips have an added symbol (or icon) that looks like a handbag. Does this indicate the use of props? (Or has the model just forgot her handbag when leaving and istripper tells here this way to come back and collect it? Which would be a great opprtunity for a new show.)

Thanks for all answers.

P.S. There are so many great ideas and products here that improve user experience. Not being a nerd I nevertheless try to grab what IT specialists are talking about. But I want to put it simple: Are their tools or improvements that run on a Mac and can be used without years before applying to MIT and study programming?

@Dorsai6 And on my Mac?

Your program seems like a really, really great idea and a genuine improvement for generating playlists. But is somebody working an a version for Mac OS? (I don't want to run Windows 10 on my Mac.)

Yes, you can win them in the scratch game. It might even be possible to get them from the 'sexy goose' game, if you play it a second time (after winning it). I believe that sexy goose can randomly pick a card from your 'wishlist', so if these special cards can be placed in the wishlist,(which I do not know if they can be), then there is a very small chance of them being the prize.

I don't ever expect them to be in the slot machine. That game only displays cards that can be bought at a discount. And the special event cards do not have a price attached that can be discounted

@Number6

Thanks 😊 After I had downloaded the preview, I had found myself being less than interested in the card and promptly forgot how the card was first released.

I have since won the card during the last time the scratch cards were featured on the TGIF. I still haven't downloaded the card yet and it will most likely remain in my 'forever grey' collection.

So you can win these cards when the scratch game comes back as a prize? Even though that event is over? Its forever a prize whenever the scratch card game comes up? That is cool if its the case... although probably a small chance to win, at least its still somewhat attainable for those that just joined and cannot get these special cards....

Thanks pumpdude48 :)

Yes, but only two, so if you have more than two then you need to chose which ones.

Can I install Istripper on 2 computers with the same account?

If you want to create clip-level playlists, my Playlist Generator can make the job easier.

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/40854/1?_stoken=PLaylist+manager&_sanchor=601017&_spage=1&_scat=

@wrdlprmf

The first clip mentioned in the .scn file is treated as the primary performer and is taken from the "Now Playing" slot in the Now Playing sidebar or from the next "Next" slot of that sidebar if there is no active card. If you have a two screen monitor you can ***** a card or clip to these locations to switch the main performer either immediately or on the next change of card.

However, the remaining clips in a scene are not so controllable - they are always selected at random from whatever cards you have enabled on the My Collection tab so your only recourse is to disable any cards that you do not want to be used (which is not very convenient).

I found another type, so there are 18 flavours of Spam

Another question to stefnev1:

Is there any way to influence the appearance of three models at the same time with the background of Whisper Club (Multigirls)?

Such customization would really make the user experience less hazardous and more unique.

Thanks for your answer!

@gkar45

The bird of course. It is an Emu after all 😆

@wrdlprmf

Has anyone here got a clue how to change the number and/or order of scenes within a single model card?
The order in which those scenes are played seems rather arbitrary, the next part does not start where the last part ends.

As well as using a cliplevel playlist as @stefnev1 suggests (which gives you complete control ver the order) there are also a couple of controls on the settings tab of the GUI, these being those for "Levels Of Eroticism" and "Progressive Hotness". If this last is enabled then the progress though the clips is much less random. But note that there are separate versions of these two controls for the Desktop and Fullscreen Scene modes. Also that they are only visible if you first enable "Advanced Settings".

Also if you right click on the Play control for a card either on the My Collection tab or on the card's details page a small menu will pop up and one of the options it offers is to play all clips - if it is used then I think that they are played in a "sensible" order.

@Number6

Thanks 😊 After I had downloaded the preview, I had found myself being less than interested in the card and promptly forgot how the card was first released.

I have since won the card during the last time the scratch cards were featured on the TGIF. I still haven't downloaded the card yet and it will most likely remain in my 'forever grey' collection.

Good idea, stefnev1, I'll try it. Very helpful staff out there, and really fast. Thanks a lot!

I'm not really sure what the hoop to jump through to get the Ginebra Bellucci card was.

@Chicky

It was the first one that you could only win on a scratchcard.

This discussion brings this ad to my mind.

Please read this thread https://fr.istripper.com/forum/thread/42238/2?post=622537
It's not necessary to open a new one to speak about the same thing, thank you.

florane russel is not downloading please fix

@wrdlprmf
To do what you write, you can make a playlist with the clips of the card placed in the order you want to play them. After that, just launch this playlist.

Really I didinst get no 25 credits and no free cards.

Free Credits
I think you have to complete your Profile ,
need an E-mail address, and to Validate it, and to Accept Promotions, and update your password?
I think that's what triggers it..
or
you participate in one of the featured Partner sites, such as Hinetia Heros

I think this is only good for free members who have not yet Bought Credits or cards.
So if you signed up, and the 1st thing you do is to buy credits, I think the free credit offers are disabled.

it's been a while since I tested this..

you can always write to customer service...


Free card.
Some affiliate sites, grant you a 1st free card when you sign up through them.
Their choice of card, not yours.

If you get the software through iStripper, you don't get this free card offer.

Changing the order of scenes of a certain model card

Has anyone here got a clue how to change the number and/or order of scenes within a single model card?
The order in which those scenes are played seems rather arbitrary, the next part does not start where the last part ends.

If you right click on a model appearing and then click the icon "Detalls anzeigen" ("Show details"), at the upper far right corner of your screen appears a new icon which will lead you to a detailed list of parts ("scenes", episodes) of the model card, numbered beginning from no. 1. There are also boxes to tick ot untick, but doing so seems not to change the order or number of the parts played.

This is especially annoying as I want to see the following part or episode, but I often get a scene that starts at the same erotic level as the last one.

I am thankful for every hint from anyone.

please precise... I still see her in your collection... please put your mouse over the card in your collection, right click on the bin and click 'delete all clips" then redownload them :)

Ru version from Google translation:
пожалуйста, уточните ... Я все еще вижу ее в вашей коллекции ... пожалуйста, наведите курсор мыши на карту в вашей коллекции, щелкните правой кнопкой мыши на корзине и нажмите "удалить все клипы", а затем снова загрузите их :)

@EverthangForever

If, as you claim, high heels are now a niche then if Totem provide some cards which feature heels prominently, i.e. on most or even all clips, then these cards would not sell as well to those that do not like such clips. But this would be offset by attracting a bigger proportion of those who really do like them (if the cards are rare then a large proportion of the minority that like such cards will buy them) and the reduction in sales to those that do not like them will be mitigated by people buying other cards instead (not everybody already has almost all of the old cards that they want). Furthermore, a large proportion of customers are likely to buy them anyway regarding it at most as a ***** feature of the cards. I have seen no indication that "shoes kept on at all times" cards sell less well than any other type though I can believe that if they were more common then they would do so as those that are particularly attracted to this particular niche could then be more selective in their purchases.

This logic, of course, applies to all such niches. The decisive factor, it seems to me, is whether or not the niche can be accomodated within mainstream cards without upsetting too many customers. This one can be, unlike some that have been suggested.

However, the argument is moot because "high heels" does not seem to be a small niche as far as iStripper customers are concerned. The best evidence for this is that Totem continue to provide many cards in which there are at least some clips with high heels (actually it seems to be quite a lot) and I assume that they do so because people buy them.

@TheEmu,
I used webcast simply as an illustration of what has become niche,
in the industry, not as some opportunity to persue here. The need
for a fee is often to offset the loss of paying customers who would
otherwise stay in the room.
Webcast has a totally different revenue stream to Totem of course,
dependant largely on individual heavy hitters, dynamically interacting
with the performance, whereas Totem charges the same flat one-off scale
of fee to all for its products, independent of their performance.

@EverthangForever - you seem to be continuously misunderstanding what I have said.

I have not agued that there should be cards in which shoes are left on at all times, or even that they should be left on most of the time. Indeed I have argued almost exactly the opposite - that if shoes are worn then they should preferably be removed at some point, but I have no problems if a small number of cards do keep them on - after all the 13% of customers that either do not buy cards with naked feet or delete any naked feet clips is a significant part of iStripper's market.

The fact that webcast models ask for a premium for "heels on" is, in my opinion, a good indicator that there is a good market for this niche, i.e. buyers are willing to pay more for it and that the models can earn extra for providing it at little or no extra cost to themselves. It is not an indication that there is less profit in providing it at no extra cost, just that there is potentially more profit in providing it as an option.

It seems to me that the mixture that Totem currently supply is in itself a good compromise and certainly better

I commend @TheEmu 's unrelenting quest for diversity at all costs. However...
Some would argue that diverse smorgasbords are no longer economically viable, especially when
non commercial or niche gets an even weighting with mainstream. Webchat models are citing
heels-on as a premium fetish cost these days .The last I recall was for 120 tokens recently (about $12).

Its really a reality check & how Totem wants to go about making future money.
Niche with heels only left on, or Not ?
