J’aurais pu utiliser un Joker,

Etonnant de voir les membres faire la collection de jokers. J'en vois quelques-uns 😊 A quoi vont-ils servir?😕
Seraient-ils vraiment accro aux jeux? 😊
Ceci étant dit, chacun fait ce qu'il lui plait 😉 Mais surprenant!

Amazing to see the members collecting jokers. I see a few 😊 What will they be used for? 😕
Are they really ***** to games? 😊
That being said, everyone does what they want 😉 But surprising!

#05 and climbing. Old timers are slacking on the SEC's it seems :D

Mainly because we cannot take part in the "Wheel of Bargains" because we have all the available cards. Therefore there is no way to win the SEC until the game changes next week.😰😰😰😰😰😰😰

I could have used a Joker but I am not really that worried about having the SEC or what position I have in the Hall Of Fame. She wears that uniform in her VR Video and I have that.😍😍😍😍

I would like to request Tatiana Coco all day sucker for mobile. Or amy other card by her.

I tried iStripper on the insider build of win 11 and it's running really well. Does anyone know if the visual upgraddes for games also work on istripper? It's running better than i expected.

This is the july 2021 iStripper’s Hall of Fame !

• Collection award Rewards the 3 members who have purchased the biggest number of shows during the month.
• Full Sets award Rewards the 3 members who have completed the biggest number of full sets of models' shows during the month.

These members get a decoration on their profile picture for one month! (Make sure you have a nice avatar picture on yours!)
You will also find here a ranking of the top 250 active members with the largest collections of shows. If there is equality between members, they are sorted from the oldest to the most recently registered.
Congratulations to all!

@Manue is it possible to win the Milena Ray special event card on wheel of bargains? And do you have to purchase the cards to increase the progress bar or just spin the wheel? Thanks

@Sexy3DBoy

This is getting silly. The point I was making is that the decision to block all uses of the preview clips prior to purchase could have been made as a deliberate policy by the management and the development team then had to do it (in which case it was a requirement) or the requirement may have been a weaker one but it was decided to do it that way anyway (in which case it was a design stage or implementation stage decision) rather than a requirement.

If the decision was one of basic policy for SECs then it is less likely to change than if it was a pragmatic one made later relating to how things are programmed.

Even the most informal software development (which the iStripper development is not) has at least the three stages of requirements, design and implementation - even if it is only a single person writing a very small program for their own use he or she will ask themselves "what do I want the program to do" (requirements), "how should it do it" (design) and "what code do I need to write for it to do that" (implementation).

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.

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

Evidemment que la cause est commerciale mais c'est pas le sujet. La censure, elle, n'en est que la conséquence.😆

Quand le mercredi je peux voir les previews d'une SEC afin d'être incité à jouer et que le lendemain je ne peux plus voir les previews de ladite SEC, et bien j'appelle cela de la censure et rien d'autre. Et pour revenir à l'objet de ce fil: à quoi peuvent bien servir des clips de preview si ils ne sont pas visionnables dans un contexte de Teasing dans le monde sublime des jeux olympiques chez iStripper?.

Le clip de preview est un invariant concernant les cartes à vendre et celles à gagner. Sauf qu'ici le système des previews est complètement biaisé.

Of course the cause is commercial but that's not the point. Censorship is only the consequence 😆

When on Wednesday I can see the previews of an SEC in order to be encouraged to play and the next day I can't see the previews of said SEC, well I call that censorship and nothing else. And to get back to the point of this thread: what is the point of preview clips if they are not viewable in the context of teasing in the sublime world of the Olympic Games at iStripper?

The preview clip is an invariant concerning the cards to be sold and those to be won. Except that here the preview system is completely biased.

I wondered off again into the world of the Classic sampler cards. Found Jennifer Max in her 0057 card enjoying herself with her feather boa - she certainly looks very happy with it 😍

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.

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
