Also, can you explain why I see some pictures on update 4 that were already in the game? ^^ Like this one:
That was already present in the game, like that:
Another exemple I saw was piano_red_long_young and rest_black_long_young, but there might be a lot more... and since I apply a "add-in" policy (for now), we might end up with duplicates.
The painting and piano pictures you mentioned are from the official v2.2 download and they're originally not 795x596 - I edited them to the correct dimensions and added them to the update, so that's why those are in there. There were a handful of other pictures from the official 2.2 download which were included for the same reason - I think around half a dozen or so. The rest_black_long_young picture is an unintentional duplicate of rest_black_short_young_5, that's my mistake... I tried to ensure that anything I added wasn't already elsewhere in the pack but in this case looks like I skipped over one (at least). Sorry about that, if you find any more please let me know and I'll keep a harder eye out in the future.
Some pictures were relocated, for instance from young to milf or vice versa, and in a few cases I swapped hair color (from red to pink for example) so that's another reason you might see the same images in the update. Some images were re-cropped or touched up in some other way, which is another reason you'd see images which were already in the game.
I'm not really sure how else to handle this - it's not always going to be only new pictures, sometimes I'll move existing pictures around or edit them and then I'll need to add them into an update so they go into their new place.
1) Ponytails and 90% of the girls with attached hair are considered "long_hair". In your packs sometimes I see girls with 1km length hair but they are named "short_hair" because they are attached (not always but I see it often). I go through your images one by one, therefore I rename them all and there's no problem, but for the future you'd make my life a lot more easier if you manage to follow that naming convention
Yeah I had thought about how to deal with ponytails, pigtails, and other forms of tied up hair. I came to the decision that I'd name the picture based on the current state of the hair rather than on the state of the hair if it were loose... so that's why you see quite a few ponytails, pigtails, etc. named "short", even though they'd technically be "long" if they were loose. I'll admit that one of the main reasons for this is because it has been much harder for me to find images with legitimate short haircuts so I decided to make some compromises in the form of tied up hair in order to balance out short vs. long throughout the pack.
Can you give me a few examples of images in my pack with attached hair that is short but should be long? I think I know what you mean but just want to make sure we're on the same page so I can do things your way going forward.
2) You probably noticed that when pictures are not large enough, I make a gradient on the borders (if they are vertical; horizontal are better left black). I select two colors from the background on paintdotnet (most often: top left corner with the left click, top right corner with the right click). If you fail to see what I'm talking about or you have questions about how to proceed, please ask, I can give you step by step instructions with pictures
Yeah I know what you mean. I've been using XnConvert to add borders but I don't think it has a gradient option, just solid colors - or if it does I'm not sure where. Honestly I didn't think gradients versus solids on the borders were too big of a deal so long as the solids aren't too conflicting - usually if the background is a mishmash of colors, or if I have trouble finding a neutral solid, I just use black borders.
That said, sure I can start using gradients going forward.
3) About age, we mostly agree on who is young and who is a milf. Based on how juvenile the face looks is mostly how I go, but the body can help sometimes. However sometimes I see some completely counterintuitive picks. I might be subjective, but one of your bath_blond_long picture in update 4 was named "milf" and she was a literal loli. ^^
I'm a bit confused on this one.
There are no bath_blond_long pictures in update 4. There are six bath_blond_long_milf pictures total in my pack and they are -
Maybe there's an argument for 5 and 6 to be youngs instead of milfs but I'm not sure any of them qualify as lolis. Are we looking at the same thing?
Otherwise, yeah I usually go by the face when determining milf or young although sometimes I feel like a picture could go either way, and in that case I just put it in whichever category has less pictures.
edit:
The woodwind picture was also included because of dimensions adjustment (it was an original from 2.2).
