I am not impressed with thios new mobile system. Too be frank, as someone who has spend god knows how much money on shows specifically too view on mobile, all that money is now going to be locked behind a monthly paywall... It used to be but the card have access too the show indefinitely... just like the desktop program.

This is a betrayal of trust, i am quite happy to keep paying for the cards as they release, But locking them behind a paywall, every single card ive already paid for is unfair and exhortative.

You lost a customer.

I need to know if CARDS are 4K or not before I buy them. There are plenty of older cards that I will still wish to buy... But for now I at ;east want to know.... What it is that I am buying.

@Z22

That explains the advantage of selling NFT cards - but not why Totem have chosen that they have to be paid for via Dolz tokens instead of credits.

@Z22 I know that bruh, I have looked through both the ratings and reviews for the cards. But, The difference is barely noticable as both are top tier cards and I was looking for thoughts from someone who has both the cards in their deck. This is my going to be my first Lana lane card, So I want a bullseye on this one, No room for flaws

There are ratings and reviews on each card.

What's the advantage of buying Dolz tokens istead of buying credits ?
Perhaps a more relevant question would be "What's the advantage of selling Dolz tokens instead of selling credits ?"

I don't know the answer to that question either, but it is the more important of the two if you want to understand why it is being done.

Buy DOZL tokens, buy card which has a random chance rareity.

The more rare the more you can sell it for(main point of nft's is that you can sell them), then the buyer can sell it on for even more DOLZ and on and on and on. Until there is a crash and you lose all the value. :/

Because the cards are NFT's ownership needs to be tracked with a blockchain, DOLZ are linked to eth for the transaction. So a record of any sale will become part of the blockchain and the owner can be validated.

AFIK DOLZ isnt going to be specfic to this progran like the credits are they can be used elsewhere, vrparadise for one. I believe they are attempting to get the entire porn industry to use DOLZ tokens, as yet i havent seen any other companies planning to or have adopted them though.

At least thats what appears to be going on ...

Lana lane "The Bride" vs Lana lane "Boudoir bounty" which is better guys? I'm having a hard time choosing

Anyone know if there are plans for a calendar this year?

At this moment, I'm not convinced

Sorry the following may not make much sense to members outside of the UK

As at @wrightsayswow said

And I'm finding on OnlyFans more and more often now the payment requires the 2FA, even for just a minimum $5 tip, so for crypto they will probably send someone to my door and check I'm feeling okay.

Pre covid I was at a VCT (Venture Capital Trust) shareholders meeting.
A woman said that she had attempted to buy shares in this VCT (which would actually receive tax relief from the Inland Revenue) only for the local police ***** to turn up at her front door as her bank (which was one of the largest in the UK) had reported her for a possible money laundering crime.

So anyone attempting to buy cryto in the UK could easily at a minimum find their bank account and cards blocked.

I fully expect them to double down on this like they did with the special event cards and premium.

Totem *****, full speed ahead! (as the captain of the Titanic said ...)

I hope they drop the whole DOLZ thing and end up releasing those beautyful cards here.
Im extatic that a big group like FTX is gone because it shows how little to no safe-guards are / were in place for the dummies that buy into crypto. Hopefully the next massive crash opens totems eyes to the catastrophic mistake they are going to make.

Edit: I wonder if the DOLZ cards price tags just shot through the roof? from what they would have sold at to probably a 500% or more markup just incase if they had crypto with FTX.

Not a finished scene and will be for other people to use in there scenes when i finish it.

Create depthmap from background https://3dphoto.io/uploader/index_old.html

convert to grayscale and max the contrast.


There is a photoshop plugin version here https://3dphoto.io/uploader/ i've not used it though.

Included ARSE (anti ring sharpen effect) which fixes the blurring caused by GL_LINEAR when the girls are scaled by standing/sittingheight without causeing artifacts like "color.rgb+fwidth(colour.rgb)" which cause bright lines (ringing artifacts) between eg: a dark skirt and skin. It does increase aliasing though.

After the mess last week with FTX, I would not be too surprised if this whole project was delayed again. Perhaps even cancelled. The shows made so far could then simply be released as regular cards. Not sure the idea of trading cards between users really had much going for it either.

And as @peterbanker mentioned, many of us might not be able to do this even if we wanted.

I spoke to a cashier in my bank in the past couple of weeks and got the impression that they are likely to block crypto -currency transactions.

And I'm finding on OnlyFans more and more often now the payment requires the 2FA, even for just a minimum $5 tip, so for crypto they will probably send someone to my door and check I'm feeling okay.

Cryptocurrency is a scam.
You can’t use it in the real world. There is always a 3rd party between the seller and buyer.
People only have or want it so that later same other idiot will buy it from them for more money. In the end someone will end up losing real money for useless coins if nobody is willing to buy the Crypto Coins.

NFTs are a scam as it is a digital product that has no reason to be limited at a set amount.

I paid 50 euro for 500 credits and 1 iStripper cards is 11 credits for me. So 1 iStripper cards cost 1.10 euro. Discord server has 16516 members and there are 18395 members on the app forum. Dolz webside mention 300.000 iStripper collectors.

I can safely say that all cards sold at least 5000 time at 1.10 euro is total 5.500 euro. If the NFTs is limit to 500 then they need it to sell it for at least 11 euro. But went totem only release 1 NFTs per week then it needs to be 77 euro per NFTs card as 5.500 euro times 7 days is 38.500 euro. 5000 card is a low but safe estimated. And I don’t know really know how many NFTs card Totem will sell so it is a guess.

In my eyes this is not good for us the user/customer and for Totem. Ones the 500 are sold then that’s it. They can’t ever get more money for the NFTs cards. The normal iStripper cards will continue bring in money overtime and can be use for the games.

Last thing is that NFTs card are not a different product as it use the same resource as the iStripper cards.

P.S. I will not and can't do the NFTs. It probely will be to expensive for me and i don't like it to scan/take a photo of my ID to submit as proof.

@Z22 and @TheEmu

edit:
col.a = smoothstep(0.0, 0.01, col.r);

don't need the if.

Thanks guys - that's much neater. So much to learn.

don't need the if.
That is correct, with smoothstep you don't need any explicit logic for this sort of thing. You might want to tweak the limits, either or both of them, depending on exactly what you want to see but for this particular usage the values you have would seem to be sensible.

If, however, you wanted the transition to be a soft one centred at a value of 0.5 for col.r you would want something like

col.a = smoothstep(0.49, 0.51, col.r);

Yeh, i have used near those values on the sexual predetor scene,

outp.rgb = mix(Girl1.rgb, outp.rgb, smoothstep(0.50, 0.51, col.b+(sin(u_Elapsed*0.5)) ) );

col.b is a restult of getluma of the Girl1.rgb.

Yes - I've been trying to work through some of his tutorials though I haven't watched that one yet, just hacked the code around..

His tutorials are pretty good as he explains how it works and not just typing out code while we watch.

I've nabbed bits of his code too, the raymarching code mainly in a few scenes ...

eg: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ER5FMRzTh_7TgCiIVfxLls5mJnEh89EK/view?usp=share_link

For this problem it is often better to use the softstep() function to get a smoother edge rather than the hard edge you get with the binary if-then-else or the step() function - you get less jagged, less pixelated, edges with smoothstep().
softstep? typo?

yeh smoothstep would give a nicer edge so...

If (col.r > 0.0)
{
col.a = smoothstep(0.0, 0.01, col.r);
}
Is that right?

In my earlier post, which I can no longer edit because of another of my own posts, when I said

2. Read error log

I should have said

2. Read error log - even if the scene appeared to run properly.

on my machine by default the discrepancy is usually only a line or two, but is more if I switch from the Intel to the Nvidia compiler.

ahh, i'm using the nvidia complier. That explains why its such an arse. Calgon is on nvidia too.

As for atom, it doesnt have the functionality by default, you have to point it to "glslangValidator.exe" for it to compile and check for errors as you type. I'm sure yopu can remove the "garish" colours if you don't like them. It's also nice having the project folder browser tab, i don't remember n++ doing that, i always had to file/open/browse.

He didnt ask for equivelence though, he asked for a more elegant. I think i understand what he is trying to do in the scene as it is something i have used many times on the girls alpha. That being if the feathers r channel is not 0.0 then the alpha should be 1.0, if it is 0.0 the the alpha should be 0.0. the low number (0.01) is most likely because he doesnt know about != rather than a desire to slice part of the feather off.

If you just use a threshold of 0.0 for this then in a many cases, though not all, you get a poor result as it drives too many pixels to be transparent. I have found that it often better to use a threshold which can be tweaked.

For this problem it is often better to use the softstep() function to get a smoother edge rather than the hard edge you get with the binary if-then-else or the step() function - you get less jagged, less pixelated, edges with smoothstep().

1. Try to run the scene
2. Did it run ?
2.+Yes => Finished
2.+No => Read error log
3. Did I understand the error messages ?
3+No => Change the code in some random way => Go back to 1.

That really should be

1. Try to run the scene
2. Read error log
3. Were there any error or warning messages
4. If yes - fix them and go back to step 1
5. Did it have a statisfactory effect
6. If no then update source and go to step 1

@Z22

That is not equivalent to the code that @Calgon was asking about which tested col.r not col.a. He may well have what intended to test col.a but even then the code would not be equivalent as the original threshold was not 0.0.

Edit - you modified your post after I started to reply, but the modified code is still not equivalent to @Calgon 's original.

Edit - there is also a standard GLSL function that can be used for this, see

https://docs.gl/sl4/step

the original code would be equvalent t0

col.a = edge ( 0.01, col.r );

yeh, i noticed the error.

He didnt ask for equivelence though, he asked for a more elegant. I think i understand what he is trying to do in the scene as it is something i have used many times on the girls alpha. That being if the feathers r channel is not 0.0 then the alpha should be 1.0, if it is 0.0 the the alpha should be 0.0. the low number (0.01) is most likely because he doesnt know about != rather than a desire to slice part of the feather off.

this is assuming that col.a starts out at 0.0 which sometimes doesnt (weirdly) unless you define it with vec4 col = vec4(0.0). As an aside do you have any idea why it does that (sometimes is not zero if you define as vec4 col;)?

@Z22

Ahh - I see that it has a better syntax checker than I have been use to seeing in the editors.

I know I installed and tried atom a good few years ago and it seemed to be a good editor, but at that time I didn't see any strong reason to switch to it.

Obviously if it compiles and runs but looks weird its not going to help you with those type of errors, nor will the logfile though.

I normally have very little trouble in locating the error using the line number in the log even though it does not exactly match the line number in the editor. However, the discrepancy seems to depend on the GSL compiler being used, on my machine by default the discrepancy is usually only a line or two, but is more if I switch from the Intel to the Nvidia compiler.

On those few occassions when there is a problem I resort to introducing a deliberate error (usually just silly word, like bugger, on a line by itself) close to the line identified in the log as this then gives me the correction term to use for the line numbers - not elegant but a useful technique to have when it is needed.

@TheEmu

To catch errors in shaders I rely on the error and warning messages written to the vghd.log file when any are encountered
Trouble is..... as I'm still learning. I don't always know what the error codes mean. So my procedure is usually:

1. Try to run the scene
2. Did it run ?
2.+Yes => Finished
2.+No => Read error log
3. Did I understand the error messages ?
3+No => Change the code in some random way => Go back to 1.

Thats what i am saying about having the error checking in editor as it tells you the problem. Eg:

if put

vec3 bug = 0.0;

it will say "cannot convert from 'const float' to temp 3-component vector of float

because it should be

vec3 bug = vec3(0.0);

It has saved me so much time just trying to find the problem as the line numbers in the log do not match line numbers in whatever editor you are using.

Obviously if it compiles and runs but looks weird its not going to help you with those type of errors, nor will the logfile though.

I used to use N++ but after switching to atom i'm not going back. It's just far easier to write scenes in, if you can add the same functionallity into N++ do so.

@Z22

That is not equivalent to the code that @Calgon was asking about which tested col.r not col.a. He may well have what intended to test col.a but even then the code would not be equivalent as the original threshold was not 0.0.

the original code would be equvalent t0

col.a = edge ( 0.01, col.r );

if(col.r != 0.0)
{
col.a = 1.0;
}

so if its not equal to zero its one.

so Emu's ones would look ike

col.a = ( col.r != 0.0 ) ? 1.0 : 0.0;

or

col.a = float ( col.r != 0.0 );

i think...

@calgon - you said "I'm pretty sure there are more elegant solutions than this:"

// Remove alpha for black
if (col.r > 0.01)
{
col.a = 1.0;
}
else
{
col.a = .0;
}

Try

col.a = ( col.r > 0.01 ) ? 1.0 : 0.0;

or

col.a = float ( col.r > 0.01 );

The first uses the trinary ?: operator where "a ? b : c" evalautes to b when a is true and to c when a is false (read it as "if a then evalute and use b else evaluate and use c").

The second first evaluates col.r > as a boolean value (where 1 is true and 0 is false) and then converts it to a float value.

@Z22

Have you been watching "the art of code/feathers in the wind"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68IFmCCy_AM

Edit, ah yeh, i see you have his atribution in the shader.

Yes - I've been trying to work through some of his tutorials though I haven't watched that one yet, just hacked the code around. I think I will make the attribution clearer, I was so amazed that I had actually got the code to work how I wanted it to that I rushed to post the result.

Went on the authors patreon site.... sounds like he hardly makes a bean from YouTube which is a shame because amateurs like me need Tutorials like his.

My contribution to the original code was to work out how to hack out the background and move the feathers up /down and in/out so I could create the effect I wanted but the more you do, the more you understand. I've been waiting for someone to comment on my ***** ***** code as I'm pretty sure there are more elegant solutions than this:

// Remove alpha for black
if (col.r > 0.01)
{
col.a = 1.0;
}
else
{
col.a = .0;
}

Then I spent several hours down at the nature reserve taking the background photos of birds before wrapping it all up in a zip.

I use the vghd.log file to find errors.
I keep it open in notepad++
after a scene has an error I check the line numbers and try to find the error in the source code.
Then I delete all the text in the vghd.log file and save an empty log.

this way, I'm starting with a clean log each time I run the scene.

A lot of my errors are because I forget to put the semi-colon on the end of the line.
And then that will cause some obscure error, not specifically in the line I forgot the semi-colon,
but it's easy to spot.

The Head of the vghd.log, contains the most important error information..

WARNING: 4:10: deprecated130(#55) "varing" is deprecated since GLSL1.3. We suggest usage of "in/out"
ERROR: 4:30: error(#143) Undeclared identifier: gl_color
ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors. No code generated]
2022-11-06T07:32:02[] WARNING[*** Problematic Fragment shader source code ***

WARNING: 4:10 - the warning is 4 and the line is 10
ERROR: 4:30 - the error is 4 and the line is 30


so I delete all of the text in the vghd.log, and then save an empty log.
this way I get the Head as the beginning of the log each time.

@Z22

I know that I can have checking done by the editor - it is simply that I don't like colourising the program text to do it. I find that it is so distracting that I rarely notice the error indicators that it produces among the noise of the, to me, rather garishly coloured keywords etc. and, on top of that, that it does not detect the sorts of errors that I make nor the sorts of errors, often type errors (not typos), that others seem to frequently make. Even were I to be using a context sensitive/language sensitive editor I would still be looking at the error messages as they were issued, which in the case of iStripper is most easily done using a tail utlity. If you use Notepad++ that can be just one of the tabs in the Notepad++ window, though I prefer to have a separate window.

I would hardly call single clicking on an icon (just once, not once per run or once per edit but just once a day) when I am developing a scene "a lot of messing about". In any case I would always want to examine the log for errors and warnings even if the scene seems to run perfectly. I do this when installing other peoples' scenes and it is sometimes surprising to see what faults it shows up. Using a tail uility is somewhat simpler than loading the vghd.log file into an editor as it automatically looks at the right end of the file.

@TheEmu, seems like a lot of messing about when you can have inline error checking before you even run the scene

https://i.imgur.com/2NzCJDN.png

To follow on from my previous post

To catch errors in shaders I rely on the error and warning messages written to the vghd.log file when any are encountered. During scene development I use use a file "tail" utility so that I can see last few dozen lines of the vghd log scroll by as they are written (and can manually scroll back for more details if needed). I have a desktop icon pinned to my taskbar that opens vghd.log in this way with just a single click.

I use baretail, out of habit, but there are other tail utility out there and Notepad++ itself has an option to monitor the tail of a file in this way.

The easiest way I found is to ***** the desired girl's card into the "To be continued" section of the "In progress" panel on the right side of the screen. You can ***** multiple cards of the desired girl to this location.

Then click on a chosen scene. The girl will appear in the scene. (It may happen that some clips of the card will not be played, if the type of clip, for example "Swing", has been excluded from the scene.

Before you change the scene, make sure you put the desired card back in the "To be continued" section, otherwise another girl will appear. If you have placed several cards of the same girl, another card of that girl will be played when you change scenes.


La méthode la plus simple que j'ai trouvée consiste à faire glisser la carte de la fille souhaitée dans la section "À suivre" du panneau "En cours", à droite de l'écran. Vous pouvez faire glisser plusieurs cartes de la fille désirée à cet endroit.

Ensuite, on clique sur une scène choisie. La fille apparaîtra dans la scène. (Il peut arriver que certains clips de la carte ne soient pas joués, si le type de clip, par exemple "Balançoire", a été exclu de la scène.

Avant de changer de scène, assurez-vous de remettre la carte souhaitée dans la section "À suivre", sinon une autre fille apparaîtra. Si vous avez placé plusieurs cartes de la même fille, une autre carte de cette fille sera lue lorsque vous changerez de scène.

The "primary" performer in a scene is the one corresponding to the first Clip statement in the .scn file. The clips used for this, and only this, performer in the scene are controlled in the same way as those selected for the small mode desktop mode.

So, if there are any cards in the Now Playing/Next queue then these will be used for the main performer and if you ***** a card to the Now Playing/Now Playing slot while a scene is active the scene will immediately switch to using that card if it has any suitable clips, Of couse you can only use this ***** and drop if you have two or more screens with the GUI on one and the full screen scene on another.

For the "secondary" performers you have less control - these are selected from whater cards you have "enabled" in your collection.

A problem with this is that while it works well enough with "properly" written scenes featuring a main performer with any others playing a supporting, background, role it fails if there is no main performer or if the scene's creator was not aware of the rule that the main performer should be mentioned first in the .scn file.

@EverthangForever @Z22 thanks for your comments. I do hope more people choose to share their work.

Here's what I've been building this week.

The scene utilizes the same shader twice and each use has 3 parameters set up in the scene code which gives you some control over the quantity, size and placement of the feathers.

Have you been watching "the art of code/feathers in the wind"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68IFmCCy_AM

Edit, ah yeh, i see you have his atribution in the shader.

I really wish they would return to the old Virtuagirl Scene Naming convention.

So do i. But I would prefer it if they used the actual folder structure to group the scenes rather than faking one using a naming convention (as they used to do in VirtuaGirl)

you might want to consider Atom rather than notepad++ as it has a language pack for glsl

A quick web search for "notepad++ GLSL" tuned up

https://www.lighthouse3d.com/2013/01/notepad-glsl-4-3-syntax-highlight/
https://github.com/gogo2/npp-glsl

I have not tried them myself as I have never found syntax highlighing very useful (and even distracting) though I know that many others like it. I greatly appreciate "find matching bracket" but I get that with Notepad++ anyway.

Also I still have this ***** that it will affect the core program in the end. But that's me.

Moreover we were never secured by the team to know if my ***** is real or not.

I am thinking like a bar/restaurant.
Totem is selling beer in a bar. (the program we are used to buying)
Totem is opening a restuaruant next to the bar. (Dolz)

If the restaurant does well, I hope the bar doesn't close.
If the restaurant goes under, I hope the bar doesn't close.

I do love my beer!

How do I get a specific girl to show in sceens/fullscreen? It's always a random one and I don't know how to put there the one I want.

But someone posted notepad language code for scn and fsh on here, though I can't find the link today.

@Wyldanimal posted the scn add on for Notepad++

Not sure if this included gls notation for the shaders or whether that has always been there.

For scenes I wouldn't part with Notepadd++ either.
