Brothel King - Girl packs and Mods Collection

[__neronero]

Question (its not in an offensive meaning): why WEBP? isnt that google shit? there is no big difference only that google holds the rights on it. in my opinion that format is made for n00bs because no one can remember all the different picture formatting. whats the advantage of WEBP? or is it really the better format? can someone please tell me ^^

I used to be confused by it as well (how can it be any good if you need to download a plugin to open it in photoshop!) But it really is the better format. The only real downside of WEBP is lack of support (in image editing software, in operating systems, in image-comparing and resizing software that taggers use)

It has all the advantages of JPG and PNG rolled into one (smaller filesizes and alpha transparency support) and has much better compression algorithms on top of that, whether you're saving lossless or lossy. So that's better quality and smaller filesizes for girl packs.

If I remember correctly some tests were also done to compare Brothel King's loading times with WEBP vs the other formats, and WEBP was a vast improvement there as well. PNGs were especially disasterous for the loading times.

And I get around that issue by doing all my pack prep in other formats, and converting to WEBP as almost the last step before releasing a pack. And I keep a copy of each pack in the other formats in case I have to do any revision at a later date.

For me the issue is all about size. WEBP is handled by Ren'py well enough, is good enough for the game, and is much, much smaller. For makers like me who are very limited in Mega storage space, it's a life-saver to store at a much smaller size footprint.

Also, as a collector of R34 imagery myself, I keep in mind that I am not releasing packs for the sake of other collectors. I'm releasing for the game. I do not need to be releasing images at a quality level that would make a collector happy, but at a level that will make game players happy. WEBP accomplishes that.

You're not actually very wrong here. The two big advantages of WebP are transparency without huge size and simplicity: handling/converting one file format when you need to do so for hundreds of images may be 'n00b', but it's also way faster and more convenient.

As far as actual size comparisons go, WebP is miles better than PNG, no questions asked. But whether it's better than JPG seems to be not as clear-cut. I recall doing some experiments, and basically it depends on the picture. But nobody is going to test 500 pictures individually to see whether they can squeeze out another 30kB per image by not converting. Thus the all-WebP packs.

And WebP does indeed seem to behave better in BK/Ren'Py as well.

Guys i have a doubt here:

I'm on the latest steps of tagging my pack, and i wanted to see how my pack rating was.
The tagging tool says my pack is already A+.

But the game (v0.2) says my pack is still B+.

(PD: Ignore the "972 pics", 300+ are still untagged, low-res duplicates and LOTS of swinsuit pics i don't know how to include for "beach events" without being used for massause or public)

In those cases... Who should i trust better to know my pack's rating? The Tagging Tool, or the Game itself?


Edit: Oh, and also, any idea how could i tag pics of "Cowgirls"?
And NO, i don't mean the sexual position, i mean cowgirl cosplays like this one:

I was thinking on "libido cosplay", or maaaybe something for the farm, but i still want suggestions/corrections.
(Since this is the year of the Ox, many Artists went a bit crazy with this kind of images, so that's why i ask)

 

[Kite80]

Can't say much about different rating between tag tool and game, are there any other similar cases around? About the pic you can tag it as cosplay libido happy, it's the most appropriate tagging for it in my opinion.

thank you for ur answers guys. thats interesting to get another perspective. at least its better for the game so keep it WEBP for that is my conclusion in this case. nice nice

Since GH20 is also on HHS, he might've seen the resulting investigation there already - but I figured I'd share it here for those who are interested.

The answer is that this is most likely due to changes in the tagging library, such as the addition of "cunnilingus".
The game's rating should always be leading, the tagging tool (normally) tries to reflect the game's rating accurately, but in this case some changes are required.

Attached is a reconstruction, as best I can do, of kite80's original 5.1 trainer. It has AFAICT, all the girl and brothel commands, and most of the MC commands.

I will post my highly modded 5.1x as well.

hello to any pack creators, is anyone interested in making or has made a ryuko matoi girl pack? (hopefully this isnt coming off as rude)

 

[vikont]

is there any mod-trainer for this version of the game?

 

[Leortha]

For which version? There are two different versions that get actively discussed. 0.15b is the latest stable version, and 0.2 is in extended unstable Beta.

If you are talking about 0.2, check out the previous page of this thread. Kite released a version of the King's Way trainer mod that is compatible with current versions on 0.2.

 

[vikont]

he King's

I have a game crashes for some reason with The King's Way trainer

 

[Jman9]

I have a game crashes for some reason

That's spectacularly useless information for troubleshooting. I presume you're getting a traceback which you can post here or send to Kite? If not, he'll probably need a detailed report of how you're making the game crash so completely it doesn't even leave a trace.

 

[Leortha]

Also, I asked earlier, but I'll repeat. What game version are you using? The new version of King's Way is specifically compatible with the latest patch of 0.2. If you have an older patch of 0.2, or tried loading KW over any of the 0.15b releases, that right there is a good part of your problem.
