@Sexy3DBoy

OK, that ties down when the decision it made though in the words you highlighted I was more particularly thinking about which point in the software requirements/design/implementation development cycle the decision was made rather than at what time it was made.

I still do not think the top level decision was to prevent us seeing the previews but rather to prevent some particular use of them which was most easily acccomplished by blocking all uses - i.e. a deliberate and foreseen side effect of a design decision or, possibly, an unforeseen side effect of a decision made later during implementation.

Ayant compris la pirouette de censure de la firme

Pour moi, ce n'est pas de la censure mais la politique commerciale de Totem.

For me, it's not censorship but the way of business of Totem.

What I was talking about is the reason why that decision had been made and at what point it was made, not whether it had been made.

Sur la période de novembre ou décembre 2018, peu importe, iStripper nous a demandé de mettre à jour notre application afin de régler certains -soi-disant- problèmes de fonctionnement du logiciel. J'ai mis à jour mon desktop et à partir de ce moment là: je ne pouvais plus voir les clips de demo des SECs d'Alyssia Kent "Splurging" mais aussi celle d'Olivia Sin "Happy New Year".
Ayant compris la pirouette de censure de la firme, je n'ai pas mis à jour durant plusieurs mois mon laptop de voyage et j'ai pu ainsi continuer à visionner le magnifique "Splurging" de la miss.
P.S. Il y a des .exe et/ou .dll qu'il ne faut pas trop approcher.😆

Over the period of November or December 2018, whatever, iStripper asked us to update our app in order to fix some -so called- software functioning issues. I updated my desktop and from that moment on: I could no longer see the demo clips of SECs for Alyssia Kent's "Splurging" but also Olivia Sin's "Happy New Year".
Having understood the firm's censorship trick, I didn't update my travel laptop for several months and was thus able to continue viewing the miss's magnificent "Splurging".
P.S. There are .exe and/or .dll files that you should not get too close to 😆

I didn't know of any of those even. "Stockings" category is still the only way to find pantyhose. Fishnet or stockings are more common.

Zazie Skymm / Jazzy e0848 no panties with net style stockings in photos and a bit in the show. 😎😍

Cara Mell / Rock Angel f0192 no panties with net style stockings and ripping them a bit. 😎😛😍

Ok, it's been a deliberate choice. But why?...

Yes why? Especially as we do get the 30 second preview on the website?

@Wyldanimal

I did not say that it was a mistake, I am, and was, aware of the feature that you are talking about.

There is no doubt that not having previews available for SECs was a deliberate decision. What I was talking about is the reason why that decision had been made and at what point it was made, not whether it had been made. The scenario I gave is one possibility. I suspect that it was just simpler to do it that way rather than only block them for preview pushes.

Watch this Video
http://wyldanimal.com/videos/No-SEC-Preview-By-Design.mp4

It easier to show by video, than to try to explain it.

But I doubt many Members know, you can add a card to your preview list by ***** and Dropping it from the Details View.

So in the video I demonstraight How you add a card to your Previews using ***** and Drop.
I show, I have no previews...
I click on a card I do not own in the store, it's slide out opens
I click on Details
From the Details view, I can ***** and Drop the Card to the Next or Now playing, and that Add's it to my list of previews.
I show this again..
Now I have Two Previews on my Preview list, both Added by ***** and Drop.

Now Let's do it with an SEC card.
What? It doesn't get added...
This is by Design, you can not add an SEC card, not even by ***** and Drop.

So it is not just some side effect.
It is Blocked by Design.

@TheEmu
I fully understood your 1st post.

please see my 1st response.

Please look at the software, it is by Deliberate design
that members can NOT preview SEC cards.

Let's compare:
A non-SEC card, notice the Slide out and the Details Both Have clickable features to add a preview or a favorite

A SEC card, by deliberate design, Does Not have clickable features.

It is not a mistake, or some side effect
It is intentional by Design.

@Wyldanimal

Maybe you misunderstod me. I was not wondering if the fact that SECs had preview clips was a side effect of some decision but if the fact that we can't then use them as previews was.

If there were no preview clips for a SEC then it would be quite clear why we can't preview those cards. As the preview clips exist there is a question as to why they then can't be used as previews. As I said in my previous post I doubt that this was due a deliberate policy of not providing previews for SECs but was a side effect of how the preview system (including preview pushes) works. Possibly the history was something like the following.

We don't want to push previews of SECs (with random discounts that would not be applicable to SECs).

There are two ways to implement this, a simple one that pretends that there are no preview clips which only needs extra code in one place or a more complex one thar requires code to be added in two or more places.

We will implement the simpler method.

This has a side effect of peventing previews for those cards but this is not a high priority to fix,

a SEC's clip list it includes preview clips just like a normal card

True, in some cards these are an edited duplicate of one of the other full clips.
But in Many cards, These are Unique clips and might be the Only Level 1 clips for that card.

I can't think of a reason why they are not available either. If you look at a SEC's clip list it includes preview clips just like a normal card (at least the few I just checked did). I suspect that it is not a deliberate policy but is a side effect of some aspect of the programming that Totem do not regard as having a high priority for changing - maybe its something to do with preview pushing as you would hardly want to hace a SEC show up there and the logic that prevents that is involved.

The girls store on the iStripper website, rather than in the app does at least play a 30 second clip.

This would look to me a reason more to get the app-previews too, rather than the opposite...

The girls store on the iStripper website, rather than in the app does at least play a 30 second clip. More would be nice, but that's all we get.

I really think we should be able to see full previews of the special event cards.

I totally agree.

What would be the problem with giving customers previews?

I am not able to see what could be the problem; and also never got answer when I asked what's reason to hide previews of SECs.

I really think we should be able to see full previews of the special event cards. Since we can use our joker cards to get them and don't only have to win them in games, I can't see why we can't have access to full preview. If totem does not want us to be able to download the previews, they should make them available on the site.

Am I missing something? Are they available somewhere I don't know about? What would be the problem with giving customers previews?

Do we get a joker card after completing the SEC bar a second time?The Prize for the 2nd time filling the progress bar is a Gift Card.
That is what is indicated on My Progress bar.

Okey dokey, thank you

I have tried reducing mounting textures from .png to smaller .jpg

The file format (.png. jpg, etc.) should have no effect on the behaviour. The file will be read and converted from the compressed form used in the file to a simple array of (red, green, blue, opacity) pixel values stored in the GPU's texture memory at the resolution of the original file (unless the size is explicitly changed while it is being loaded) - the work to do this is only done when the file is first read unlike the animations or fragment shader outputs where the work has to be done on each frame. What might make a difference is the size of the image any rescaling to the screen size will need to be done on every frame - there is little point in using an overly high resolution image if all you are doing with it is sescling it down to a lower resolution 50 or so times a second. However GPUs (typically) have hardware to do this rescaling efficiently.

@batavus: (...) I think in the games during August you can't win a SEC, maybe only with "Rainbow candy"
Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure at all about that.

You can win a SEC in both scratch games ("Juicy Pink" and "Rainbow Candy"), but if you win any it will be one of the older cards. I can bet the system will not let you win the newest Milena Ray's SEC.

Merci for feedback @Philours

I'm not sure why it is happening, I am still using iS version 1.2.242
and I have noticed certain background shaders
appear to be affecting clipsprite iterations, like the clipsprites
are losing frames. This even happens when mounting .fsh on quads.

I have tried reducing mounting textures from .png to smaller .jpg
I tried other things in the shader code eg: with FG117 's shader
in line 21 have reduced the interrupt threshhold and so forth. It all seems to
be to little avail. Could it be the number of colors in textures I have used..?
I will experiment some more. I only use paint.net , hence color profiles
might be all messed up..

Perhaps if @EricTotem is looking at fullscreen allocation of resources
at the moment, he might find a conflict in iStripper in the fullscreen
memory sharing with OpenGL there. It is worth experimenting some more
with how to reduce stuttering of models in fullscreen scenes

Gambling never works out for me.

@wrightsayswow 😆

Le mois dernier, la sec Veronica Leal demandait un investissement de 2500 crédits pour l'obtenir en remplissant la barre de progression.

Cela voudrait dire que les joueurs (généralement perdants) au casino seraient aussi des investisseurs. Ce n'est pas de l'investissement mais plutôt de la dépense et rien d'autre.

2500 crédits, c'est le tarif entrée de gamme dans un salon de massage exotique ambiance cosy aux abords du Parlement européen de Bruxelles.
😆

This would mean that the (usually losing) players at the casino would also be investors. This is not investment but rather spending and nothing else.

2500 credits is the entry-level rate in an exotic massage parlour with a cosy atmosphere in the vicinity of the European Parliament in Brussels.
😆

@AquaBlue05

Is there any way to check what cards I do have (those one that I purchased via Laptop) using mobile login?

See my Screenshot, it is now displayed in the Client as well.

Sorry not really a question - more a fun observation 😉
Is it just me or does Belka look like she is feeling the cold on the Summer Sale home page? That's from her Hottest Day Of Summer card and I never noticed that before. 😄 Things warm up for her later on I know 👍

It was a nailed on certainty that this card would be the SEC 😄
I'm not even annoyed anymore by this - it's a game - don't have to play 😄
As @Philours says we have five full weeks to fill this bar 👍
----
And it seems 20% extra on reloads until next Friday 👍

It takes time I think to set up each released card. On Friday with three I've noticed they do not all seem to appear together, but over the space of an hour or so. The SEC though is a strange one as that appears at midnight Paris time for some reason. Then I've noticed this morning some saying they are trying to play for it on the outgoing slot machine promo relating to last months Veronica Leal SEC. Best to wait next time until noon Paris time then all the cards and the current game should be up and running.

@tigerblue300
Non, il ne vous manque rien.
Oui 2500 est assez élevé, mais il s'agit de la mise maximum sans tenir compte des retours de jeux ( crédits gagnés, remises sur cartes, carte-cadeau, ... ou SEC et Jokers dans certains jeux)
Bien lire les règles de chaque jeux.
Vous avez 5 semaines complètes pour remplir cette barre avec 5 possibilités différentes.
Les jeux sont aussi cumulables, votre barre ne redescend pas à zéro avant la fin du mois.
Si vous aviez un joker, vous pourriez l'échanger, mais les occasions d'en obtenir un sont assez rares pour l'instant.
Bonne aventure 😊
@tigerblue300
No, you are not missing anything.
Yes 2500 is quite high, but this is the maximum bet without taking into account game returns (credits won, discounts on cards, gift cards, ... or SEC and Jokers in some games)
Read the rules of each game carefully.
You have 5 full weeks to fill this bar with 5 different possibilities.
The games are also cumulative, your bar does not drop to zero before the end of the month.
If you had a wild card you could trade it in, but the chances of getting one are pretty rare right now.
Good adventure 😊

We are here to help : )

@tigerblue

Have you some patience ?
There are games where you can win a joker. You will defintely "win" some (a lot of) cards you would never have bought, but then you have a chance to get a joker or perhaps win the SEC.
Certainly you can win a joker by playing "Twenty-five", perhaps also with other games like I said before.
But these SEC's are without a doubt expensive cards compared to the other ones

@Philours ah ok thanks, that makes sence why I didn't see any change on the progress bar.
Still 2,500 credits feels excessive for one card, thats like €200! Surely there's another way to get this card. Am I missing somthing?

@tigerblue300
Le mois dernier, la sec Veronica Leal demandait un investissement de 2500 crédits pour l'obtenir en remplissant la barre de progression.
Si je comprends bien , vous avez joué 3 crédits, il est alors normal que vous ne voyez pas encore de différence remarquable sur la barre de progression
@tigerblue300
Last month, sec Veronica Leal requested an investment of 2,500 credits to get it by completing the progress bar.
If I understand correctly, you have played 3 credits, then it is normal that you do not yet see a noticeable difference on the progress bar

I think you need to play these games till you reach the end of the bar to have the new SEC, unless you have a joker.
I think in the games during August you can't win a SEC, maybe only with "Rainbow candy"
Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure at all about that.
