seems like about twice/yr, I get into a masochistic mood and try this game. It kicks my ass...every time, period. Once...one time in maybe 100 tries, I have completed the tutorial and been admitted into the slavers guild.

It's like the Souls series...just so damn brutal, you keep smashing your head against the wall in an effort to chip away at the damn thing.
In the OP of this thread, it is mentioned that the IA branch is sometimes more updated. This is the case right now. I advise you to download the IA branch of the dev version, as it's a lot less unforgiving than the current v2.2.2.

No matter what, it's indeed the Dark Souls of porn games, which is why I came to like it so much myself.

Hopefully somebody can help with me qgen. I've been trying to alter one of the brothel scenes with custom images and text. I've figured out how to replace the text, but I can't figure out how to make a new image appear with the text. I want about 5 images with dialog to click through. Currently, it just stays on the first image while I cycle through the scene.

Bug report?
This is not the first time I encountered this issue.
My faction reputation seems to be stuck.
After I sold three B+ slaves, I still don't have enough reputation to enter the Raven Tower.
Last time I got to the point where I sold B+ slaves to all possible customers and was still unable to enter the corresponding house.

2.2.2 Dev version hm... Go to the wiki and download the IA branch, it's 2.2.3 dev version that is the most up to date now (y)

By design, you cannot raise reputation with all factions in the same playthrough. Serpis or Corvus. Taurus or Camira. Each pair are rivals and don't trust anyone who gets too close to their rival House. In the objectives tab, it mentions "must not get too close to ..." in the "become a patrician" objective.

she has s cooking skill and all the ingredients turned on, I thought about turning some off but wasn't sure what was considered good or not. like I stopped buying minced meat but I still get B food sometimes. Maybe turn off some others? But the rest seem about the same quality?

Assistant automatic cooking quality is capped by assistant mood.

Does this ver has any gif in pictures? I remember the old versions from HF was like 7+GB, mostly because of the girls H-scenes was in video format, still in my Laptop now. Im quite surprised that this ver only 2.2 G.

Btw, I quite prefer the old vatican ver song, I checked in folder and the new song is in wav format, while old song was mp3, can I just replace the file without changing the format?
Also I had been searching/asking but noone know the song name since f95 old thread, so Imma ask again here, If anyone know the name/full song, pls kindly tell me, thank you very much

Some of the pictures are .gif, but have the .png extension, so you will only see the animation by opening them in-game or with .gif readers. One exemple is hj_general_young_2.

Animated gif in general don't allow much editing, they are taken from bad sources (hand drawn uncensored animated hentai is scarce), they look compressed and yet take so much space!

If animations are to make a triumphant return, we'll go for webm or mp4. (y)

Btw, I quite prefer the old vatican ver song
I really don't ^^ Let me tell you my reasoning a bit.

Powerairmax was apparently the one that came up with the soundtrack to begin with, for the HF version. We needed to replace the soundtrack (previous one had volume all over the place and we couldn't find their names with Shazam or equivalents), so I did it co-jointly with him. So even by the standards of the guy that came up with it, the replacement was worthy.

Now, even if we could have found the source, this one needed to go:

1) There is electric guitar. I wanted the orchestration of the soundtrack to fit the kind of instruments that you are likely to find in Eternal Rome.

2) The mood is too triumphant. The song needs to be sacred, but ambivalent. The vatican is not a morally good entity.
Near the end of the song it almost feels like you are in the jungle, it totally doesn't fit the mood ^^

3) It's an overused chord progression in pop-music. You can literally make a song with it . Jack-o-nine-tails evokes to me something more "refined", less easy of access. Its gameplay is too difficult and complex that most of its audience are nerds that enjoyed Dark Souls and are likely to be regional champions of their respective hobbies :BootyTime:

4) The replacement music is from Tchaikovsky, which was Russian, same as the developer. I was guessing he would have been likely to associate sacred music with some from his birthplace that he must have heard all of his childhood (though tbh he didn't seem to put much care into soundtrack, as there were only 4 songs in 1.21 and when you listen to "muz_podonya" your ears die from how shitty the recording is)

I checked in folder and the new song is in wav format, while old song was mp3, can I just replace the file without changing the format?
In theory yes, you'd just have to rename the extension from .mp3 to .wav.

However mp3 = reduced audio quality.

I advise to search for a .flac source. And then check the level of loudness so it roughly matches other tracks (average level is -24 LUFS, but you can just check the db in Audacity and lower the gain accordingly)

Also I had been searching/asking but noone know the song name since f95 old thread, so Imma ask again here, If anyone know the name/full song, pls kindly tell me, thank you very much
:)
I really tried to help you. I remember finding a magical software, a year ago, that managed me to finally find the name of the previous "home" music (which became v2.2.x credit music).

But impossible to find it again. Tried MusicBrain without success, tried Shazam also... That is exactly why we needed to get rid of the soundtrack if we wanted to edit the files to change the volume without altering quality.

You might want to give it a try with online tools which require registration (y)

Is there a possiblity of replacing the .png files with .gifs ?
Yes, just rename the extension of the file and the game will read it as animation (y)

It was done already for "hj_general_x" and some others, they are truly animated gifs.

Hmm, i've been looking at the whole pregnancy side of things. and it should be possible to code in a mod thats a bit like the barn or cryo. It would need to be called Slave Pens or Harem etc. But essentially it would give you a place to house more than 1 slave rather than the dungeon. Once that's done, it would be a case of giving the doctor an ability to conduct an "experiment" to get around the Vaticans ban on pregancy, that would accelerate it and then generate a random child character that spawns in your harem/slave pen.

Thats about the easiest way I can think of. But just because its easy doesnt necessarily mean its not difficult I guess. I think the hardest part would be the housing side of things. the Hospital part shouldn't be difficult at all as most of the coding for generating a new random character already exists ingame.

If it works, it should be possible to add in an additional route for lactation. so it would add another fertility modifier for "Mothers"

這個遊戲要本地化怎麼辦?
Edit the .qsrc files in the game\locations folder, replacing English text, then use qgen\MakeQSP.bat to rebuild the game.

There's English text scattered all across the code. Moving all the visible text to separate reference files that only contain text which would be a good first step towards supporting localization in a maintainable way.

Downloaded the game from the Hgames wiki. The game says the version is 2.2.4. I can not find where are the Escort and Dressage skils. Clicked througj all the buttons I could see in game, googled my problem, tried to find a changelog for 2.2.4, but none of these helped me find where these skills are located or what they mean. Also the wiki told me my assistant could tell me what specializations my slave is good for, but I cannot see the option to ask her.

Escort was renamed to Elocution. Dressage was renamed to Pony Racing.

Your assistant tells you about the slave when you open the assistant's screen. Look in the text box at the bottom. You need to actually have a slave.
