Mod QSP Jack-o-Nine-Tails Developer Versions and Mods

The game that started it all, but not one i've had the chance to check out.

I created a powershell script (thanks ChatGPT!) to avoid needing to copy or redownload the media repositories.

Instructions:

1. Place these all in the same folder

• game-base
• media-base
• media-patch
• Install Symlinks.ps1
  • i.e. Extract Install Symlinks.ps1 from Install Symlinks.zip

Before proceeding, it is strongly recommended to always check code before executing it. Finally​

​

2. Right click Install Symlinks.ps1​

Run with Powershell​

Great initiative!

I invite you to also post your work anywhere you see fit on the game's wiki. That way you'll have more visibility.

Might make sense for me to add a sub-option under Dev step 2) in

You must be registered to see the links

. i.e.

a) Download symlink script b) Choose Complete or NL and move it to the same directory as the 2-3 "code" and "media" folders. c) Rename the folders to: game-base media-base (and media-patch if using complete version). d) Run Install-Symlinks-Complete.ps1 or Install-Symlinks-NL.ps1

For now, uploading the scripts to anonfiles and linking the dl in the wiki (with example above) should be good enough?

P.S. I might (longshot) be able to simplify this and have it run out of game-base. If so, features to add would be: have the script run out of game-base folder and create the symlinks (might be doable). Alternate option is renaming folders to be uniform, would need to change working directory. Added complexity would be having a single script and an option menu. I'm not a programmer and contributing to the repo meaningfully is a bit above my skill level.

The current dev version, images do not load when you do an action. I have created a content folder in game with pic and snd. Works normal on 2.2.3 version

It is possible to build game engine with Qt 5.14.1 and qtwebkit-Windows-Windows_10-MSVC2017-Windows-Windows_10-X86 from github qtwebkit/qtwebkit.

Main advantage - you can use WEBP animations instead of any PNG. Just rename your animation.webp into some_scene.png and some_scene became animated.

To build you need to follow manual in README.md from engine-base and:
- install qt-opensource-windows-x86-5.14.1
- unpack qtwebkit-Windows-Windows_10-MSVC2017-Windows-Windows_10-X86.7z (QtWebKit 5.212.0 Alpha 4) into your installed Qt5.14.1\5.14.1\msvc2017\
- remove line "find_dependency_with_major_and_minor(Qt5Widgets 5 14)" from Qt5.14.1\5.14.1\msvc2017\lib\cmake\Qt5WebKitWidgets\Qt5WebKitWidgetsConfig.cmake
- in cmake-gui configure: generator [Visual Studio 17 2022], platform [win32], toolset [v141]
- in engine-base-master\qsp\mathops.cpp replace QSPVariant v; with QSPVariant v = qspGetEmptyVariant(QSP_FALSE); (line 657, "uninitialized variable" crush)
- use qt 5.14.1 (MSVC 2017 32-bit) to deploy
- copy libxml2.dll and libxslt.dll from qtwebkit-Windows-Windows_10-MSVC2017-Windows-Windows_10-X86 to deployment folder

There maybe some other bugs, but I think, its worth to explore.

Help returning error missing MSVCR120D.dll while trying to get the game to run in debug mode in Visual Studio 2022 by instruction on gitgud engine base

I will go insane fr. Turns out QT returning warning with Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio installation directory, VCINSTALLDIR is not set.

Aren't you missing some of the redistribuables? From the main thread first post:

Ahh indeed, big thanks. I had idea that I need visual studio 2013, just ,microsoft download doesnt work for me for some reason so I left it for later to try

No wait, I have them all. Double-checked everything, tried to repair redistributables, even moved Visual studio on different drive. Can you even run Qt 5.4 32-bit for Desktop (MSVC 2013) without Visual studio 2013?

You should still try to download them all again, from the url I linked, rather than comparing the version names in your list of installed program (if that's what you were doing).

an you even run Qt 5.4 32-bit for Desktop (MSVC 2013) without Visual studio 2013?

I don't know. But you surely cannot run the game without it. And the error messages you encounter are 99% surely an improper install of these redistribuables.

I did reinstall them all, same problem

 

[Lonst]

Turns out you need Visual Studio 2013 desktop to run Qt 5.4 32-bit for Desktop (MSVC 2013), who might guess. On GitGud written " (THIS STEP CAN BE SKIPPED NOW) - Visual Studio 2013 " but this step cannot be skipped, because of Qt

Now I got a different error:
Well that is one hell of a ride indeed

Why not create a release build instead of debug? What are you trying to do that requires recompiling the engine?

I dont sure yet. The closest thing is to add media player for supporting videos for sex scenes

Want to make a mod for the game. Handling multiple assistants and slaves at once in the end game. Human furniture, amputee slaves, actually taking slave/assistant with you for a walk in town, a little update for a combat system to make it more player friendly, adding another option for fog wandering for weak characters that will be much less challenging and less rewarding as well. Inventory rework and more side activities. Will see if my commitment will be enough to do it. I'm wrote it here to not forget

I'm interested in this. ^^

 

[okuru1]

Do anyone know where is parser function and loader function / grenerator for slaves is located?

I have an idea about implementing different races to the game.
