2. The range of cards displayed is 'stuck'. The application used to know what range of cards in each collection was last used, and applied the same range when the showroom was next invoked. Now I have always to update the range, and the new ranges (for iStripper and iStripper XXX) have to be inpu every time.

I'm using Edge too and my ranges are still saved between visits (checked again just now). Not sure what setting has changed for you but it appears to be specific to your computer not a change in the page behaviour.

@TheEmu

Given your Haunted Beuaty and Ruination scenes you might try using the fade in/out, looming and walking through walls effects that I used in

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/TheEmu%20=%20Naughty%20Ghosts.zip

For these ghostly effects It is all done in the .scn files, no shaders are needed.

👍

I am going to learn a lot from you.

Merci @sh42n81, Seriez-vous capable de faire une scène dans le même style que votre maison fantôme, mais sur un bâteau fantôme, style vieux voilier à la dérive (Mary Celeste) ?

What a fun idea! That would fit nicely with both my "Ruin Porn" and my "Boat" themes. (Yes, there are more boat scenes coming. 😊) Let me see what I can find...

2 out of 3 give great peeks today and a Stella VR... yep reload time to show my support Thank you

• iStripper versions newer than 1.2.242. I also tested on 1.2.266. That version does function, but
an apparent change to the QTWebEngine within the application causes pages that have live Web
content, such as the Featured and Forum tabs, to cause an error and fail to connect.

I'm pasting this feedback from @Stanston from another thread to add a perspective on this issue:

That is Interesting, i don't have any of these Issues with 1.2.266.
The opposite is the case, this Version is running better hen ever, at least on my Setup.
The GUI is reacting now better then ever, smoother and more faster as before on 1.2.242.

Maybe ... a big Maybe i'm using the XFCE Desktop Environment which is using xfwm4 as
Windowmanager, and Budgie on your side is using Mutter.
Maybe this is causing the Issues on your side.

Hello,
I'm a longtime user of iStripper and love it !
But now I've problems after installation on my new MacBook Pro ( MacOS 10.15.6 ) - ( I already deinstalled iStripper on my older windows notebook )
1. Every time when I start iStripper I have to type in username and password ( earlier it was necessary only one time after installation )
2. All my individual settings are gone when iStripper runs. All settings were changed to the basic settings.
3. When iStripper runs, everything seems to be ok. I can change settings, I found my own collection etc. But all my setttings will not be stored.

After closing iStripper and restart again - always the same:

• type in username and password
• iStripper seems to run the very first time ( Tutorial etc ) and all settings on factoryset.

Whats going wrong ?
Greetings
Sigi

Since July 2020 I have noticed 2 inconvenient 'features' of the showroom which were not apparent before:
1. The "SOON" banner is rather variable. Sometimes it is there, sometimes not. Specifically, today it is not there for e1472, e1479, e1482.
2. The range of cards displayed is 'stuck'. The application used to know what range of cards in each collection was last used, and applied the same range when the showroom was next invoked. Now I have always to update the range, and the new ranges (for iStripper and iStripper XXX) have to be inpu every time.

Has anyone else noticed this?
Might it be a 'feature' of the new Microsoft Edge Browser? If so, are there any settings I could change such that the application returned to its previous behaviour of keeping track of my settings?

Hi guys, sorry about the delay. They should be there in a couple of hours max ; )
EDIT : The shows have been released. Have a lovely weekend with iStripper! : )

@pickle1I am using the August pre-purchase option which automatically gave me two cards today, Jade and Takha, presumably a third will appear later.EDIT: Oddly the Jade card does not appear in Celine's post showing the recently released cards.

I'm using the pre-purchase option too but i've got only Takha...

OK @Alkasyn - you got me. I was just looking for a suitable thread where I could ask this question rather than opening up another new thread.

😆😆😆

I know, I monitor all the people who go for the spam award, too :D

I think he also wants to brag a little :)

I'm a selective buyer, myself, so I don't buy everyting that the company produces (much more true thesel ast few months, where I bought 2 cards a month)

@sh42n81

Thank you for the compliment and for your valuable input. 😊

No Problem :) Oh my ... 11 Years with Linux only, i never could Imagine that.
Further i found my way to iStripper or even could be able to run the Client in it.
Yap it is absolutely True:
Nothing is impossible, you can do everything you want, you just have to want it.

@sh42n81

I forgot to add this to my previous post. As a variation on your ruination and haunted scenes you could try a haunted ruined hospital if you can find a suitable background image.

A duckDuckGo search for abandoned hospital images gave me a few good images. (Searching for ruined hospitals tended to find pictures of bomb damage which I would be reluctant to use)

hi @Grabandt and @sh42n81
Hahahaha the Cabin scene is certainly getting attention today, like a long lost ***** hahahaha
I built that one in one night, smashed together in like 5 hours with no thought of ever adding the fire. I will have a look at the frame buffers and .fsh files used in the xmas scene this weekend. As far as I can see the xmas scene is in 2D and Cabin fever is in 3D. This Presents a whole heap of issues in converting the file to get it to work, not to mention how much editing it will take to modify the .scn file and placements.
If anyone wishes to mess with this scene also I have no issue with that whatsoever, its a shared file for everyone to play with and improve it! I dont own it, everyone owns it lol.
I dont enjoy "re-visits" to scenes very much, when I'm done with it I like to do something else hahaha but I'll have a play with it too and see if I can get it to work 👍

Thank you @sh42n81, Would you be able to make a scene in the same style as your ghost house, but on a ghost boat, old sailboat style adrift (Mary Celeste) ?

{Moved from the sharing thread}

@sh42n81I already had the thought when @Carstrip published this scene.I've seen the Christmas scene in my collection, the Christmas tree flashing and the fire in the fireplace properly flagging.Hence the idea that @Carstrip could add a flagged fire to his scene.It would look really great.Maybe you can modify it accordingly, it would certainly look great!

Probably not me. I have looked at the Xmas scene and I know it's a shader that's making that fire, but I don't know if I could just borrow that shader, drop it into the Cabin scene, and let the magic happen without having any knowledge of how the shader (or shaders in general) work.

@Stanston Thank you for the compliment and for your valuable input. 😊

just putting this out there how big is your collection thr largest collecton gets kudos and bragging rights sorry cant offer any more
my collecton is 4714

It would be nice if a real fire ***** in the fireplace.
There was a Christmas scene where the fire really ***** in the fireplace

Weird--I just had that exact same thought yesterday.

its alright i can just do what was said to me

@Grabandt: nice scene !!! what is the link?

(0) OSX Big Sur (3D - animated)

@Carstrip, @TheEmu, thanks for the info. I've been seeing what they say.
The principle of this is "Why make it complicated, if it can be made easy"
This is subjective depending on who handles this, some things are very easy for me, others like programming is not my thing, it is tortuous and not very motivating for me.
The shader suggested to me by @Everthangforever is serving me well combined with a color change animation that I found elsewhere.
shader: color.fsh // <---- Color is specified here if many elements share the same color, only the definition of the .fsh is changed
animate: 8, PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0, 1 // <---- transitions from one color to another, useful for variable highlights and other uses
blend: SRC_ALPHA, DST_ALPHA // <---- creates a transparency that cancels out black, serves for reflections and other uses. There are other commands, but I cannot find the OpenCL equivalency to apply it here, some are used for OVERLAY, MULTIPLY and other functions that are useful in visual design.

Making animation chains could add more richness to this, but in practice it is hellish trying to solve it. (already making a 360º animated scene is complex)
try this:
do not give{
animate: blah blah blah
}

Sometimes it works in the camera, you have to take into account how many nodes are used for the final closure, if it is used 2 times at the end of the scene add 2 closures
}
}

In objects I did not get it to work well

Animation curves: InOutQuad and others <----- Good for defining the transition of movement, whether it is smooth, ascending, steely ramp, decelerated, saw type and many more.
Execution Time: PingPong, Looopforward, etc <------ very useful to define behaviors, if it is continuous, if it is executed once, if it is in reverse, etc.

As far as ideas go, I will ask, if the solution is easy (add a couple of lines of code) and not spend hours and hours understanding and applying and that more on top it does not fit as I wanted, it gives me a bit of an allergy.
I find framebuffers useful, but tangled (Fail this course ... ha ha) @Z22,
is good with that.

In the situation analogy, it is like cars. A Japanese car takes 1 min to change a light bulb and without tools, a European car, 2 hours, special special tool kit and disassemble the front panel.

in the showroom that will be card 1484 hip,hop, delice 👍👍😍😍 AudaLove,

Sounds like you rather enjoyed the show.

I enjoyed in particular her outfit with the short skirt and the glasses; she's not a pro dancer or pole dancer, but she did an agreeable show. A good outfit is part of the delight. Taskbar explicit is her speciality. Another thing: Verona is not for the customers, who want the sweet, bright smiling type. Her look is a bit distorted; 29 years of life left it's traces. For me no problem: Verona has my sympathy and I like her. That's the ultimate argument for buying a show or not.

Is her XXX show better than the others or are they all just as good?

I have two cards of Verona: Lights Out/e1433 and The House Rules/f0662. The hairstyle of Lights Out was not so good. A pity for Verona. Verona is for me a model of which I buy only the shows with outfits I like. If you like explicit shows, than The House Rules is worth to buy, but you must like Verona.

After ten votes the rating for The House Rules was 4.60. Four voters more and it dropped to 3.93. and now with 21 votes it's 3.95. The two tattoo's on her arm plus a face, what is not an easy face, are according to my opinion the main reasons for her low rating, not the show.

I have presented some photos here to give her extra attention. She deserves it. Verona looks good enough and her shows are at least okay.

@TheEmu

Use something like

animate: 45, Backward, InOutSine, angle, 15.0 // adjust the value to get the effect you want

Yes, that's much better, thank you! I just used this to replace a camera position and target animation in a scene I have been working on for a while. Now, I just need to clean up some visible seams between the layers and it will be ready.

Verona Sky...

Is her XXX show better than the others or are they all just as good?

The image she used was this one, cut and resized 5 times if that helps 👍

Verona Sky: an underrated model!
...and another great review - complete with stopwatch-level info! Sounds like you rather enjoyed the show.

This chick is a Champ!
Check out her videos on the Interweb!
She knows how to satisfy!
Glad she’s here.

Hi @Grabandt
It was made by @vixen01 she posted a photo of it on the 10th of May 2014 with no link to a download. @EverthangForever or @Wyldanimal might know if it was shared anywhere.

Very well done @sh42n81 👍

TOTEM WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS HOWTO AND HAS NO OBLIGATION TO SUPPORT
ANY LINUX/WINE INSTALLATIONS
(but some of us think it would be nice if they would develop an official native Linux version 😉).

Hopefully they are getting now the Attention to us few Linux Users 😊

Any changes to Wine or associated libraries tend to result in a crash and a
need to re-install; even requiring the complete removal and re-installation of Wine.

As an Ubuntu LTS User it should not have an huge impact.
The Wine and Playonlinux Version from the official Software Repo will stay on this specific Version.
Except for Bugs and Security Fixes, if there are any Issues in this Direction.
Both Packages are located in universe and multiverse,
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/playonlinux
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/wine
so only the Ubuntu MOTU's are taking care of them > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
until April 2023. After this Date there will be no more Updates.
But as a smart LTS-User you should switch anyway as soon as possible to the next LTS-Version 😉
In my case i switched from 18.04 to 20.04 in May 2020.

@Wyldanimal thanks for that lengthy explaination, it actually makes sense now.

Also thanks from me too :)

For a Scene Creator, you would then put the Hot Spot at the point you want to be used as the Edge
then the code behind the scene would do the X axis shift for an In/Out clip.

I think it may be simpler that that. Just have the hotspot for an inout clip be at the visible edge of the clip - it might even be as simple as setting it to be (0.0,0.0) for an inout clip of either type. For backwards compatibility this would have to be an option rather than the default.

It might even be as simple as allowing us to use hotspot: in a clipSprite node. Currently if you do specify one it is ignored, presumably being overwritten by whatever is recorded in the clip file or derived from that data.

The Older proper In/Out clips were any clip that Entered or Exited the Side of the Screen.
The Ones that I called MisLabled were the Table clips, that Entered or Exited Behind the Table.
These were also given the In/Out bit, but to Me, that was not a proper In/out clip.

OK, rather than thinking of the behindTable clips as being Table+InOut I regard the table clips as having a two bit classifier, or alternatively that one of the flag bits is a modifier with a meaning that depends on the main type of the clip - so we have normal standing, pole and table clips and the same with the modifier bit set.

However, I also think that it would have been cleaner (and potentially more flexible) if different bits had been used.

@7171al71 - I think that the post you are thinking of is

Using the techniques used in my "Houses" scenes

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/TheEmusHouses.zip

you can build up quite complex movements, including pauses, by nesting nodes each with their own animate clauses to move them relative to each other. A simple example would be to use a pingpong linear motion to scan horizontally at some frequency and add to that a similar motion at twice the frequency. If the two speeds are made equal then half the time they will be in oposite directions and so cancel out, pausing the motion, and the other half of the time they will reinforce each other. Most of the scenes in the zip file use this technique.

Another way to build up complex motions, including pauses, is to have multiple copies of a clip each moving independantly and then to modulate their opacities such that only one is visible at any particular time. This requires a lot of work to ensure that the clip copies reach the same point at the correct time and that the switch in opacities occurs when they are at that point. This technique is used in my "Prison Ship" scenes

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/TheEmu-Prison%20Ship.zip

In some cases simply using an appropriate easing curve in the animate clause is all that is needed, e.g. using one of the inout or outin variants. Some of these are illustrated in

http://www.theemusnest.eu/scenes/Zips/Experiments/Sliding.zip

Hi @7171al71
@EverthangForever has a recent example of what youre looking for in his last shared file, the camera zooms in, stays there for a while then zooms out and in again with time delays. I havent delved into the .scn file but I'm sure it would be a good example for you of how it is done 😉

NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. THE LIST OF KNOWN LIMITATIONS IS BELOW. SEVERAL
MAJOR THINGS DO NOT WORK WELL ENOUGH TO BE USEFUL TO MANY PEOPLE. TOTEM WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS HOWTO AND HAS NO OBLIGATION TO SUPPORT ANY LINUX/WINE INSTALLATIONS (but some of us think it would be nice if they would develop an official native Linux version 😉).

If you find solutions to any of these issues, please contribute your knowledge here. If you choose to try
this and discover something not working that isn’t listed, please do provide that feedback. It will be
helpful for the community to know about those issues and we may be able to help each other resolve
them.

What doesn’t work properly:
• Desktop stripping. It actually works better than I expected, but it’s still far too glitchy to be
acceptable.
• Music. In fact, even the presence of an mp3 file in the “Musics” folder will cause a crash on
launch. Attempting to import a music file through the iStripper GUI causes an immediate crash.
• The user interface is glitchy, sometimes with much of a window missing. I can usually make the
rest of the window appear by clicking on a visible part and ***** the mouse over the invisible
part.
• Some Linux Updates. Any changes to Wine or associated libraries tend to result in a crash and a
need to re-install; even requiring the complete removal and re-installation of Wine.
• iStripper versions newer than 1.2.242. I also tested on 1.2.266. That version does function, but
an apparent change to the QTWebEngine within the application causes pages that have live Web
content, such as the Featured and Forum tabs, to cause an error and fail to connect. The Girls
Store still works, though, and I could still sync my collection with the servers and download my
cards. I don’t know if Preview Push still works as I turn that off. (UPDATE: this issue apparently has appeared on the Mac client, as well:

Full screen mode works very well; in fact, the picture is sharper than on Windows 10 on both the PCs
that I have tried it on. So, if all you really want is to be able to run the Full Screen option, or if you’re
willing to accept that limitation because you are switching to Linux no matter what and this is the only
way to avoid saying goodbye to iStripper altogether, this may be worth trying. Also check the Forum for
many user-created scenes to add and open up a world of Full Screen possibilities.
