The new add-on interface is so cool. Love having the immediate action of next clip and next show (note that VG doesn't even offer a next clip command.)

Also, now you don't even have to start VG before PLM. Just resume plm and VG enables and starts. Now if they would accept a PAUSE command in ForceAnim to trigger VG pause it would be complete.

Thanks Totem for the add-on support improvements and of course talented Add-on developers like Starryk. The more you make viewing our existing cards pleasing to us the more inclined we are to purchase additional cards in support of your product. Just my opinion of course.

@Lloydn: Yes this pause means pausing the playlist.
So when the current clip is over VG will take over and play what ever it likes to play until you click on Pause (it says Continue then) again.
If you want the VG Pause halting the current clip then use the VG function for that.

Is anyone familiar with Virtual Girl program running on a Surface pro pc? I will be getting a laptop/tablet in near future and am concerned with Microsoft Surface Pro tablet/pc running the VG movies.
Thanks

Many have ***** about the missing link to the models web page. If you click on the model card picture in either PLM Clip Info or VG Logger it will take you to this web page.

Starryk comes through again. At least for a little while until Totem elminate the web all together.

Re: There isn't even a 'readme.txt' file included with the download.

True, but the application and this web site both include the same set of FAQ material. Unfortunately these FAQ's are very limited in scope and often do not address important issues. The application has many hidden features that are not described in the FAQ and can only be discovered by experimentation or by asking questions on this forum. Also, there is no how-to information in the FAQ.

Nearly all programmers, myself included, ***** to do documentation, but it's unprofessional to skimp on it.

Rita, I'll follow your lead - That artwork is stunning! And you make a cute Mermaid!

Love that story! You have many talents and tactfulness is one of them. I didn't miss the reference. Obvious to me, but not apparent to others in this thread is of course your reference to the fact that explicit notes in the forum headers would help to guide new-users and everyone to key information about etiquette.

I refer of course to your earlier post here and beg your forgiveness in the same stroke:

One of the major shortcomings of VG is its documentation, or lack thereof. I would suggest two kinds of messages along the lines you've described.

Yes, sir, that's the ultimate goal indeed. With your experience in IT, I couldn't have said it more clearly. I thought to use this thread as a 'worksheet' if you will, and then to create a PDF or some sort of split thread idea as you have so eloquently expressed.

Thanks again for your support and wizardry. It's a work in progress, and may take quite some time to complete or even to fully visualize. I may not even be here before it's completion. Who knows?

Dorsai and Rita69 - Collecting and reorganizing WA's posts? Wow! That's a daunting task

My thinking was to create a shorter version than you two have imagined - just enough to get new users 'up to speed' and avoid some early hurdles. I hadn't fully coalesced my thoughts, thinking I'd collect ideas first. If it expands beyond my original, disorganized plan, all the better. I think Dorsai6 hit the nail on the head, with his insightful note that the software lacks documentation of any kind. There isn't even a 'readme.txt' file included with the download. Standard with most downloads (and expected by new users, myself included) is several copies of such files, in various formats (txt, PDF, MSWord), indicating instructions and information such as posted earlier in this thread. These types of documents are indexed in such a way that a user doesn't have to read the entire manuscript, just to figure out if he can use both monitors at the same time, for instance.

The information in the threads, as posted by WyldAnimal, JonC001, and the moderators (all of whom are VG shamen) would be the next step for a new user. My intention was not to replace the information already contained in the sticky notes (and beyond), but to augment them with information excluded from their content. As a new user, I felt I should get this down on paper before I grew through it and forgot my early stumblings with the program. I've come a long way already with their help.

I hadn't considered coaxing Totem to include PDF's and such in the download. Maybe it's on a back burner and coming out with the next release. I wanted to provide an alternative by using the forums. The 'How to...' thread naming convention that Dorsai6 has proposed was beyond my original vision. I like it, and that certainly can be accomplished once we have a model created from this early data collection process. Simple copy/paste from this thread to a newly-created thread is childs' play.

The information I had conceived to include may be technical in nature, but new users don't need to know the inner workings of the software in such detail as described by wizards such as WyldAnimal in his very informative posts. I simply blew past it in my early days, because it wasn't what I was seeking as a new user.

Another thing missing, which I'm sure Dorsai6 has on the tip of his tongue, is a document listing the rules of etiquette for these forums. How to be nice, don't argue with the moderators, that kind of stuff. It's something I noticed right off, when I came in here. It's probably the first thing I was looking for. Not there. Not a whisper. I was afraid to post for that reason alone. To my mind, it should have been the first thing in my face. With the possible exception of 'Hello'.

The master plan is to reduce frustration. If the documentation becomes too massive, poof. I'm back at square one. Hence my first question in this thread, which still hasn't been answered, by the way.

Well all my playlists plus my previous playlists work excellent and the "pause" button does work too. Small size, full size, everything works the way it should. Lucky me! :D Thanks Starryk for giving us back the control over our shows! Watching the shows I purchased weeks or months ago feels like an all new experience now. It's almost like watching the shows for the first time again and this time the way it is meant to be. Just great!

Works great!

There has been two VirtuaGirl songs once in an earlier version of software, but the second one got lost by the time. It was Tito & Tarantula "After Dark"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlBfIwZ8JD0

At least this one came to me with one of the upgrades in the past. SpaceInvader called the song's name.

This rather ethnic music works well with the strippers, IMHO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wCcMqM7cHg

it says pause when u right click the icon on desktop...the girl wont pause...in VG it works fine

@stuka75: Yes they will work with the new version!

Will my previous PM playlists work with the new version of PM? IM currently using VG
1.o.34 so I xould ocntiunue using PM.
Thanks, and Staryk for making this fun tool for our collections.

There seems to be some issue with 3k clips in small mode and trying to move them. PLM kind of gets ***** and plays one or more clips as a result.

I think it is just the same dam problem with the player and moving 3k clips. I do hope they listen and add an advanced option to disable this feature. I doubt if your program can do anything about it. We can only just put it into full mode.

Retested Replay on PLM and it is working correctly.

Well, if nobody's bored yet with this, I figured a way to spin the model name in, pause it for a second, then spin out again but leave the name flashing for another second or two :)

clipNameSprite {
color: 0, 0, 0
pos: -1000, -1100, 0
hotspot: 0, 0
scale: 14.0, 7.4, 0
rot: -90, 90, -90
source: clip
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0, 0.8
animate: .3 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0, 0.8, 0
animate: .5 , PingPong, InOutQuad, color, 0.8, 0, 0
animate: 7.0, 0, InOutQuad, rot, 360, 360, 5760 // Changed PingPong to 0

}

clipNameSprite {
color: 1, 1, 1 //Changed color to white
scale: 13.6, 7.0, 0
pos: -1000, -1090, 0
hotspot: 0, 0
rot: -90, 90, -90
opacity: 0.5
source: clip
animate: 7.0, PingPong, InOutQuad, rot, 360, 360, 5760 // I Put Pingpong back here.
}

About the problem that the playlist is not continuing in full size if no show is active:

I did a test myself.
It goes like this:
my addon puts the name of the first clip into the registry (***** Anim)
VG takes its from there and starts playing
It also puts the clip name into another registry key (current anim)
when the clip ends it empties current anim
my addon reacts to current anim being empty and puts the next clip into forceAnim. It also goes into a wait mode to give vg time to start the clip and fill current anim again.
VG takes it, empties ***** Anim but doesn't play it.
My addon does nothing because it waits for VG to start the clip.

I could include a timer so that the wait is limited to say 5 seconds and afterwards it puts the clip again into the registry.
But with that you would still have the problem that she starts in small size again
Both things are problems of the vg software but as they can easily be prevented by activating at least one show i wouldn't bother to ***** about this.
I also tested with shows active but the frequency set to 20 minutes. It still works then. So all you really have to do is activate at least one show in your collection and set the number of max girls to 1.

@TracerKi: you need to have an active show in your collection.
Make following test with vg software while PLM is not running:

activate vg (red V icon)

if a girl shows up and starts dancing you can use my addon if not you can't
Its really as simple as that. Also set the shows frequency to continously.
Not sure if thats necessary but that were my settings while i developed and tested.

your side issue is VG business. VG remembers the clips it played and if you turn it off and on it will restart that clip.
Just try it with PLM not running.

@Lloydn: which pause button? VG pause button or PLM pause button?

Merci Alerte

One of the major shortcomings of VG is its documentation, or lack thereof. I would suggest two kinds of messages along the lines you've described.

The first kind would be posted in the new user forum and begin with "How to ". That's what it would be, a description of how to do something with warnings of the risks involved. If all such messages began with "How to" it would make searching and finding easier. An example would be "How to save disk space".

The second kind would begin with "About ". It would describe some feature in detail. It would be something that could be added to the FAQ section of the application and this forum. An example could be "About windows file structure" or "About - Settings - Advanced - Synchronize with server button".

Every so often I think of writing messages like this, but it's a lot of work to do it well and I've been lazy. Wyldanimal has posted a lot of messages in both classes but with a variety of names and usually in response to a larger discussion. It would be great if someone researched his postings and refined and reorganized them a "How to " or "About " messages.

Ever wonder what in the world the girls could be listening while doing their dances? Sometimes i do, cause i can't get for the life of me what rhythm some of this beauties are trying to follow while "dancing". Anyway, on December, 2008, Stanzeflasher provided a short list of songs played while doing the shows:

• Akon / Smack that (feat.Eminem)
• Rihanna / Dont stop the music
• Beyoncé / Shakira Beautiful Liar
• Beyoncé / Naughty Girl
• Kat Deluna / Rub The Show
• Kelly Rowland / Work (radio edit)
• Mary J Blige / Family affair
• Nelly Furtado / Maneater
• Pussy cat dolls / Don't cha
• In Da club / 50 cent
• Laurent Wolf / No stress
• Jestofunk / Say it Again
• Neneh Cherry / Trout - Buddy X
• Puff Daddy / Been around the world - Senorita
• Eminem / Never enough (feat 50 cent)
• Snoop Dog / Erotic city - Escobar'97
• Tom Jones / You can leave your hat on
• Britney Spears / Womanizer - Me against the music

sometimes you just have to dig further into the threads...
This list was posted in a thread where they were talking about older threads. Ooops! I did it again. ;)

Two issues with the current PLM:

One: When a show ends the PLM seems to rarely start a new show.

Two: When the PLM DOES start a new show after the previous one has ended it comes up as minimized.

Relevant info: I've tried multiple variations of adjusting the play length (why is this an option to begin with?), adding/removing show types listings, and adding/removing collection listings. I haven't found a combination of these three PLM options that will consistently start new shows when previous shows have ended.




Side issue: Is there a way to change the settings so that turning shows off and on will skip to the next show? It currently simply stops and restarts the current show, and that's driving me crazy.

@JeB1952: My addon also has a repeat function.Check the Systray Menu for that. Use this and it should work.
You said you used VG Repeat so i take it you mean the VG Software repeat function which indeed might not work as my player notices when the first play of the clip is finished and not knowing of the repeat function used just starts the next clip.

Hi, Dorsai6

Thanks for your help. The plan here is to post items that you feel might help new users in their learning curve. I've headed it up with a few items that might have helped me, and I've included a few points that I felt might have facilitated my getting up to speed more quickly, had I only known about them sooner. Points not already covered in the new user section of the forum.

Some might think this redundant. I think it has some merit. I could just run across the street and knock a puck around the ice, but this is good sport too!

I was chatting in a thread recently about deleting files not required, but can't find that topic anymore - my poor search skills mainly. In that thread, it was mentioned that certain download files *.dlmcf or something like that, could be removed if they exist as they were simply temporary download files used until the software could determine they were intact and rename them. I was having trouble with something else, and stumbled on this info. I saved a bunch of HD space in the process. It was me turning the download on and off repeatedly, compounded by a messy wireless connection in my hardware setup that caused the files to be left behind as relics.

I was hoping to get a list of those files which are added by downloading a card, but only refering to the models folder. And files someone might download into the scenes folder, or the music folder (mp3's) and such. Anything that a user might want to check for and delete to save space without affecting the performance of the software itself.

This thread might serve as a quick reference to help users who don't really want to share in the forums, but who come here for help. Kindof a research library of sorts, as an extension of the new user forum information in those sticky notes. It might reduce the multiplicity in similar questions coming down the pipe from new users all ***** by the same issue, repeatedly, ad. infinitem.

I see from your profile that this is right up your alley. You may have more thoughts of your own to post here as well. Your experience on the Mac would be welcomed. That's what it's for, my friend. Knock yourself out! ;)

@Algonzo
Good luck to you as well, on double diamond status. I hope this cheers you on, coming from a triple diamond member. Also, good luck to you on triple diamond status.

Re: If someone could post the extension names of files stored in the user-defined areas of the software it would be appreciated. Some users like to tidy things up by removing stuff they don't want to keep.

If I understood what you want, I could probably help. Are you asking what kinds of files are in the data and models folders? Deleting files in those two folders is not, in general, a good idea. It is better to work through the VG application. I know a fair amount about the file structure used by the VG application on a Mac and nothing about Windows, but I think the two are almost the same.

If someone could post the extension names of files stored in the user-defined areas of the software it would be appreciated. Some users like to tidy things up by removing stuff they don't want to keep.

The forums are a wonderful place to learn about the software. Something I learned the hard way, and re-posted here to help others avoid this hurdle....

All users should read the TOS/EULA before posting content to this site. It's better to be safe than sorry. If you're not sure, just ask a moderator before posting the content.

I said earlier that "each card has a unique 4-digit number ranging 0001 to 9999"

I found a way to pause the clipNameSprite for a second or so at the end. This works ok but it also removes the spin out effect. I know this isn't clean coding but it does... Work! I replaced the PingPong with a '0' in both chunks of code. Hey, if it achieves a desired effect...

Starryk, just reporting issues as I hardly ever use repeat but repeat clip isn't working.

I tried the vg repeat clip and it just selects your next clip.

Really the problems with your new releases are very short. Great work.

well there was an update today and i installed it and it seems fine now

Starryk, I have 700 enabled cards but no collections enabled to prevent vghd from selecting any cards.

Tested with collection enabled VI in this case and as you reported the problem does not occur.

This is great not having to alter VG setup to use your PM. Although I am suspicious of a problem with VG and not your PM.

With enabled cards and no collections the problem will occur in full mode after a single card plays. Pause/resume PM starts a card but in small mode.

All is good. Thanks again.

The different card sets are:

a#### - VirtuaGirl (old name: VirtuaGirlHD)
All cards in resolution 720p. Some cards are also in 1080p.

b#### - VirtuaGuyHD
All cards in resolution 720p.

c#### - DeskBabes
All cards in resolution 720p. Some cards are also in 1080p.

d#### - VirtuaGirl Classic
All cards in resolution 480p (not HD)

e#### - VirtuaGirl interactive
All cards in resolution 720p, 1080p and 3K. Two cards are not in 3K (e0026, e0028).

f#### - DeskBabes interactive
All cards in resolution 720p, 1080p and 3K. One card is not in 3K (f0010).

@szalka,

It was an image from another website. With the site name, clear as day.

Copyright material is copyright material szalka !

How it's posted makes no difference ! Not at all !!

Do you really want to start arguing the point ??


That was just an edit and a reminder before.

This one is a warning.

@mods
OK, I accept, but it wasn't an image insertion, only information, this is a big difference!

@Rita69
I didn' give Ariel's dimensions, they are in the table

ATTENTION
With this new version it is NOT necessary and actually not good to have no active shows. The problems with full size seem to be related to this. I always had some active shows in my collection during testing and no problems.
My addon checks every 0.5 seconds if vg finished playing its previous clip and needs to be told the next to play and even if vg has started another clip it will just cancel that clip and play the one my addon tells it to.
So there is no problem with having active shows in the collection while using my addon and it seems it causes problems with full size if you don't.

I will do some testing myself now with no active shows and see if i can reproduce this behaviour. But i had another report like the one by @JeB1952 and told that user to activate a show and test again. He did and all worked well without problems.

PM issue in full mode. Clip plays and then stops. Use next clip to start a show but it is now in small mode.

It seems that whatever triggers next clip in small isn't there in full.

VgLogger issue fixed.

It is great to have control over clips again!!!!

New PM issue. In small mode, pick up a VI model so it is hanging. PM starts a new clip. So now I have a new small clip playing and the hanging model on my mouse pointer. Sometimes when I let go of the hanging clip vghd crashes.
