2. a period during which a shop or dealer sells goods at reduced prices.

Can you own a chance?

The key words is "goods" they are not selling any goods. They are providing a discount on a chance. Hence is a chance a good?

Is what it is but if a casino were to payout double or reduce the buy-in cost of a slot machine I am not sure in the US at least they could call that a "sale".

Seperately I always say I would prefer Totem not doing games of chance but if they do there should at least be odds posted.

@Yauguds

Where is the card of Melena Maria Rya? Any know issue with servers?

It's not released to the people who haven't bought the calendar. In fact, I can't even see the card of Melena Maria Rya.
I haven't bought the calendar

@TheEmu

These and other simple scenes should not be a problem for any system made in the last 15 or more years

You should ask the User @goodwolf and his 8 year old Windows 7 Hardware 😉

Re: Your screen shot of Little Caprice

Yes. That indicates that iStripper believes you need to download that card.

To which I would add that its belief is not always correct. I do not know the details but the system uses more than the presence of the actual clip files to determine if there is more to be downloaded (though any discrepancy should get automatically cleared up during program start). Also, though you may need to trigger a download to get the process to finish there may in fact be very little that is downloaded if you already have 99% of the clips.

Posting a screencap showing the contents of the card's model directory contents as @Dorsai6 suggests will help in diagnosing what is happening.

@Typos

I've been running iStripper on a variety of Macs for 7 years. If you have any Mac specific questions, just ask. Unfortunately, I have very little experience with full screen scenes because I usually do other work will playing cards in the corner of my screen. For years, I've noticed performance problems with iStripper on my Macs. However, the latest version of iStripper (1.2.277) seems to have mitigated some of these problems. I'm currently running OSX 10.15.7 on a new iMac and a 2019 MacBook Pro.

i think yours is different possibly because of a newer computer and access to the latest apple updated platform.

That's unlikely, but possible.

Re: Your screen shot of Little Caprice

Yes. That indicates that iStripper belives you need to download that card. Before you do, post a screenshot of the contents of the models folder for that card (a1312). Also post a screen shot of the contents of the data folder for the same card.

got lost on directions of how to delete path

Do the following:

1. Be sure iStripper is not running

2. Examine the contents of the iStripper foldler in your root user folder (LONNIE). You should have only one folder there, the data folder. If you have a models folder
a. copy any folders in that folder that are not already in the models folder in your Virtua Girl folder on you external drive to that folder.
b. Move the models folder in you root user folder to the trash.
c. Empty the trash

3. Start iStripper

4. In the Data section of the Advanced settings click the trash icon nest to the path /Users/LONNIE/iStripper/models

This should remove the needed models folder safely.

Depending on what you screen shots show, you may not need to download your collection or you may only need to download part of it.

Salut@Typos
Peut-être chercher vous ceci.
Dans votre répertoire scène, il existe Background 2D.

Et vous pouvez ensuite ajouter des fonds de scènes que vous aimer.
Hi @Typos
Maybe you are looking for this.
In your scene directory, there is Background 2D.
Hover your mouse over it and an adjustment wheel appears.
Click.
And then you can add any backdrops you like

I thought a scene was a background that one can choose when going full screen with a dancer.

That, almost, is what the simplest scenes provide - namely the 2D Backgrounds - and are like a simple desktop wallpaper except that they will block out your desktop. These and other simple scenes should not be a problem for any system made in the last 15 or more years

However some of the other scenes, particularly mine, can make very high demands on the GPU and other users have contributed scenes that use 4k images that may tax less capable machines.

@Typos

Apparently these scenes require a lot of processing -- when I try to start one I sometimes just get a blank screen,
and my MacBook goes hard to work -- the fan goes full blast.

The Reason for this is that the Fullscreenmode is using your GPU and the Desktopmode your CPU.
So i guess your old Mac Book has no dedicated GPU ?

Watch my small Desktopvideo here and take a look on my CPU Bars on the right.
My CPU is already slightly older, but still powerful enough to handle iStripper.
If i could use iStripper in Desktopmode 😉
https://www.istripper.com/de/forum/thread/36697/1?post=689828
Running iStripper on some older Hardware is not always a good Idea :)
And the iStripper Client will get more and more Improvements in the Future.

When is today's card being released to people who haven't bought the calendar?

Thanks for all your suggestions. I realize now that scenes aren't what I thought they were at all. I thought a scene was a background that one can choose when going full screen with a dancer. I finally -- for the first time -- actually mananged to play a scene. Apparently these scenes require a lot of processing -- when I try to start one I sometimes just get a blank screen, and my MacBook goes hard to work -- the fan goes full blast. When I get the black screen I've waited what seemed like a reasonable time for the scene to load but finally have given up. My poor little MacBook is getting on in years. (BTW, before you ask, it is maxed out on memory.)

Thanks to your advice I've browsed through the scene folders (including one of your that I downloaded) and have found some excellent images that I can set as a "Desktop Picture," as Apple calls them, and simply watch the dancer full sized against that screen. While it would be fun to run the scenes I'm pretty happy just to have some nice backgrounds for the dancers.

I truly appreciate all your generous advice and information, and the help of others who have responded to my original question.

@Stanston @stefnev1

Thanks for the answer/confirmation. I was 99.9% convinced you couldn't miss them but the mechanics of getting them after the 25th eluded my memory :)

but most of all I would like to get the dancer off the beach, which is the only scene I have, um, seen, so far.

If that is what you most want to do then simply use your system's file browser to move or copy your alternate images to the folder that currently contains the beach image. You don't even have to match their sizes to those already there, for 2D scenes they get scaled automatically.

It gets a bit more complicated if you want to position the girls differently the different backgrounds - but that is the next step along the way to creating your own scenes. From here on the best way to procede is by reading a some of the posts in the discussions thread and to download a selection of scenes from the Share Your Scenes thread which you can simply install and can also study. Obviously when creating your own scenes it is best to start with simple ones which can be made by modifying some of the simpler examples that can be downloaded.

Maybe another Helpful Suggestion, take a closer Look on the first Scenes from @Carstrip from here on,
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/29408/34?post=666103
and the Download Links for them are here.
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/29408/41?post=673043
I highly recommend you, go through this Topic from that Link on above, Download some Scenes
and Investigate them, I was doing it the same way.

Thanks, I will read on, then. It would be fun to create my own scene, but most of all I would like to get the dancer off the beach, which is the only scene I have, um, seen, so far.

Hi @Typos

Anyway, I've been on a Mac for over 10 years so I'm wondering if there is any use in my continuing the tutorials.

This is completely regardless, please don't care about the .bat Files. Forget about them !
The .scn Files are working on Windows, Mac OS and Linux as well.
These .scn Files are the Important Factor for your Scenes.

Download one of my Scenes, as i suggested you they are simple constructed and investigate them,
and you will see to Build those simple Scenes for your start will be an easy Task.

I've started reading the tutorial and stopped when I saw reference to "bat" files. It has been years since I was on a PC and I'm surprised that batch files are still being used anywhere. I didn't realize that DOS is still buried beneath the Windows platform. Anyway, I've been on a Mac for over 10 years so I'm wondering if there is any use in my continuing the tutorials.

yes, it is the latest version 1.2.277 i think yours is different possibly because of a newer computer and access to the latest apple updated platform. since mine is late 2012, apple will not let me download the newest platform so i am still on Catalina. got lost on directions of how to delete path?

@haruchai
I confirm what @Stanston says. After buying the Advent Calendar, all the shows into it are added to your collection automatically, and you can download them when you want.

Thank you @Carstrip. 😊

Hi @haruchai

You can compare the Calendar as a pre Buy Option for the Shows. So you will get the Shows
in your Collection any way, even if you don't open up the Doors every Day.
Otherwise you can always open up a Ticket to the Customer Service 😉

I can't remember from last year, how long will the Advent Calander be available for after the 25th? I'm away for a few days and will not be here to open all advent windows on the day.

They have gone overboard with the gambling and loot boxes in the past few years. I simply decline to participate. I’m happy with reload bonuses and direct sales on cards. Scratch cards and loot boxes are totally a waste. If somebody wants to waste their money on it though, that’s their business.

@Roadhousepsych


Based on what @Wyldanimal said, please open one of the models folders and post a screen shot of its contents. You can also use the iStripper user interface to delete the path to the models folder on your root directory.

Very nicely said @Stanston

No Problem @Carstrip :)

iStripper has such a diverse collection of members from all over the world and
I thoroughly enjoy everyones views and opinions.

I'm not sure if i can and will enjoy every Opinion, but what i'm enjoying is the Fact that i'm be able to
speak to and with other people from all over the World.
And English isn't really my native Language but it's an easy one. Possible through the Internet
and Linux of course, which makes the most part of the Severs on the Internet.

A fantastic platform for all of us "sexy girl" collectors

I Remeber that you were telling me in the past that it's not a good Idea to get too much *****
to specific things, for example iStripper. And i agree with you, but guess what there is one Important
thing which i didn't told you so far.

Totem and the Team behind it, was and is still be able to give me something, which no one was to be able
to give me so far in my Life.

Pleasure and Satisfaction, and maybe i'm ***** to iStripper but i don't care, because i have only this one
Life, and i will enjoy it as long as i'm present on this Planet. That is what i also appreciate very much.

So Thank You again to the whole Team at Totem 😘 for your wonderful Product.
And also, and even if they will not read it here, Thank You to Thrixxx Software and 3D Sexvilla 2,
which were given me in 2018 the possibility to Click on that Banner/Advertisement inside
that small Client for the Game.

That's correct, i was running a Windows VM inside Ubuntu in 2018 to get this Game running 😜
It was that 90 Day Trial Version from Windows 10 Enterprise which is coming with an included Software Key.
This was my way in to the World of iStripper by the way.

So there was that Banner, i Clicked on it, i was fallen in Love for it, and i was looking for
an possibility to get iStripper running in Linux, to get rid of that poor Windows VM 😎

Glad you like it @Stanston 😊
It was a request by someone on the forum a little while back, so decided to thow it together today. I think it highlights the girls very nicely, it was a great suggestion and image 😉

That's a really Nice one 👌 Thank You ! @Carstrip

Sale
noun
1. the exchange of a commodity for money; the action of selling something.
2. a period during which a shop or dealer sells goods at reduced prices.

Very nicely said @Stanston
A little off this thread topic but I appreciate the kind words. Any small guesture we can share with each other makes all the difference. iStripper has such a diverse collection of members from all over the world and I thoroughly enjoy everyones views and opinions. A fantastic platform for all of us "sexy girl" collectors to interact with each other and have a conversation about our shared interest, Thankyou Totem for allowing this forum to remain real and spirited 👍

So Winter Sale is a Winter Gambling Cashgrab? Thats not the right meaning for Sale.

Happy Saturday iStrippers 😎

Enjoy 👍

My sense of who is Number1 on "The Prisoner" is that we are not trying to figure out who is at the top of a list.
The list orientation is part of the illusion that the operators of The Village are creating as a diversion.

The bicycle wheel symbol gives the actual orientation.
We need to be asking "Who is at the hub of the wheel?"
I think it becomes clear that everything happening at The Village is really about Number6.
Therefore the answer to who is at the hub has to be Number6.

If anyone else in the forum knows the best way to safely remove an unwanted models folder on a Mac, please chime in.

@Dorsai6
this may help
These are not instructions for @Roadhousepsych
but information for @Dorsai6 that may assist him..

Should be the same as it is on Windows.
From in the GUI, it is like you mentions, Just click the Trash Can Icon
and Delete the Path.
This Does Not Delete the Folders or Files, It just removes that Entry from the Registry or in the case of the Mac, from the plist file.

I do it the manual way.
On Windows it would be an Edit to the Registry and change the ModelsMultiPath Key.
While on the Mac, it would be to edit the plist file.

One other note:
Since you would be Eliminating one of the Paths.
you'd be down to a single path, and then No Longer need the ModelsMultiPath Key, and can remove it all together.
Just put the correct path in the ModelsPath key



I see that there is an image of the models Folder.
What is in One of the card folders?
Are the Animation files in the Folders, or Are these just Empty Folders?

That would really determine the next steps.
Are the Animation files in the folders or are they empty?

Edit:
The Read Only is Displayed, when the Path Location can't be Found or can't be Written to.
Perhaps that Path has already been removed from the Local Hard Drive.

I have trouble with ZippyShare as wellInspecting the Page, I see that there is a direct link to the FileWhen I use the Direct Link I do not get the troublehttps://www84.zippyshare.com/d/T3NOIMWh/47577/4191%20twin%20shower.rar

Every time I try to open the direct link, Norton goes nuts and my screen turns red with threats of malware etc....

Well. We have made some good progress. I think I know the next steps, but I not certain of the best way to carry them out.

BUT FIRST: What version of iStripper are you using? Your screen shot does not look like version 1.2.277 which is the latest Mac Version. If you are not using 1.2.277, you really should upgrade to that version.

OK. One thing I just saw. Instead of replacing your old models folder which is in your root user directory, you added a second alternate folder on your external 5T home drive. It seems that the old folder is now marked read only.

I think you have two separate problem.

1. You need to delete the old models folder using the trash icon under Storage Folders. However, I have no experience deleting duplicate folders and my iStripper user inteface does not look like yours. You can see that in the fouth of my original screen shots.

2. I think you have inadvertantly turned on some filters on your my collection tab. You need to turn them off. See the attached screen shot of my My Collection tab. But, again I think I'm using a different version than you are. Note that all the filter headings are black on my screen shot. If any are red on yours, you have set some filters and you should click each filter and select "All". That will probably eliminate the Filtered Cards note and show all 142 of your cards. Note that in my screen shot it shows 3004 cards. I suspect yours shows 1/141 cards. It is possible that my instructions will not correct your problem because there are other ways to hide cards. However, what I've suggested in the most likely fix.

Let me know what happens and we can continue trying to work though your problem.

If anyone else in the forum knows the best way to safely remove an unwanted models folder on a Mac, please chime in.

Thanks to all for the generous help! It looks like I have a bit of work to do.

I may have made a huge mistake joining iStripper. I am seriously ***** to it. It's all I want to do! Then a new girl appears and without any thought whatsoever I add her to my collection. I had to turn off the one-click purchasing just to give me a moment to think about it before making the purchase.
So far that isn't going so well.
Thanks again to all.

now my cards say they are filtered???? wth!

I have trouble with ZippyShare as well

https://www84.zippyshare.com/d/T3NOIMWh/47577/4191%20twin%20shower.rar

In the more recent versions of OSX you can take screen shots of just part of your screen. Those shots are pretty small. That what I did in this thread.

not sure how to do that since the images exceed 3 mb each?

No, you don't have to download all your cards again.

Attach a screen shot showing you Models folder in Finder with the folder sizes shown. Attach a screen shot showing the path to your models folder in the iStripper application. It should not be necessary to download your collection again, unless you trashed it by accident.
