QSP Jack-o-Nine-Tails [v2.3] [ImperatorAugustusTertius / qwertyu12359]

[qwertyu12359]

Glad to here it is a known issue, and I hope it does get a proper fix.

In the meantime, here is my improper fix

download imagemagick

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

(note, there might be a windows tool for this, but I didn't bother trying to track one down. If you don't have a linux/mac machine, just install WSL)

Dump the following bash script somewhere (or execute it directly from the shell):

#!/bin/bash

for i in *_loli.png; do
printf "$i\n"
convert $i -resize 1060x795 $i
convert $i -crop 795x596+133+199 $i
done

This scales all the images up by about 1/3. Might be a bit excessive, but you can adjust it easily enough. Note, the crop dimensions are widthxheight+left+top. Width and height will always be 795x596, left should be 1/2 the difference between the scaled up width from the resize command, and top should be the difference between the scaled and unscaled height (doesn't need to be super exact)

Doesn't seem to have hurt quality by too much

Nice, thank you for giving us the method Would you mind adjusting the scaling to your ideal preference and give me a preview in Private Message? So I could judge, and then notify Powerairmax and ask him if it ruins his plan for the next UI.

A display problem in some of the pages?

what are the differences between custom game and sanbox game apart from the points you can spend?

ps: i can confirm that saving a game takes a lot longer than it did in vanilla.

A display problem in some of the pages?

On the update post, I warned about that problem:

(known annoyance: when trying to sell a slave to a Rome resident, the backgrounds appears too big. It was always too small before, when entering the neighborhood streets. It should be just the right size for the non-beta version, tell me if this is too much of an annoyance).

Basically, in content/pic/bg, the "necropolis_street" images are in 1000x750, to match with the other background. It allows them to the full screen when going to the resident houses (it was too small and let an ugly grey space in 1.7.x). However, what I forgot, is that the text is barely readable :/ It's even one or the other.

I can make a small patch with downsized pictures, it will have the same proportion as in 1.7.x and 1.8. Do you guys want it?

I might have spotted a problem with the latest beta + loli patch; or I might be tired and/or be losing my marbles

Is it just me, or does the beta 2 *not* contain any JSON files for lolis, where beta 1 did? The JSON files for lolis are also *not* in the loli patch. Do lolis work in this version? (I haven't actually had a chance to try it yet)

If that's the case for you, something is definitely wrong on your end (and given you're distributing the torrent, I'm a bit scarred ). Maybe you downloaded it first from GoFile and it got corrupted? Many told me that this uploader sucked.

I've attached a screenshot of my archive for the loli patch. The json folder should contain all loli slaves, from number 1 to number 340, with slave 2572 and 2573 included wherein.

EDIT : You got the wrong version, the loli patch of Beta version 1. Give it another try, the workupload link on the wiki.
As for Full version 2.0 on the wiki, it got deleted Isn't there any worthy upload server on the whole internet?

I got the loli patch from your anonfiles link, and there was no corruption. However, I notice that the file you are offering now, via workupload, is "loli patch for beta 2.0 version 2.rar", as opposed to "Jack-o'-nine-tails - Loli patch for v2.0.rar" which you uploaded earlier to anonfiles - which appears to be the patch for version 1 of the beta, where the loli JSONs were in the main beta download :/

So, the loli file currently being seeded by more than 60 people is the out of date one you uploaded by mistake earlier. I wish I'd noticed sooner!

I'll msg you links for the correct torrents to fix the first post - apologies to anyone who got the wrong/old files due to me not noticing the mistaken upload earlier!

I tried starting over with the new update and it seems without my dragonfire staff I can't do combat even against street scum. Will combat be touched at all?

Combat wasn't touched at all compared to 1.8. Powerairmax and I haven't planned to tackle the combat system, but Heirter has. He's the one focusing on remaking the game on Unity. You can see a link to his topic on the Roadmap button of the first post.

 

[SenPC]

Mega bans anyone sharing Jack-o-nine-tails links :/ I lost everything there.

That seems...unlikely. There's nothing in this game that Mega isn't providing download links for in some other game. There's got to be more to the story, like a history of violations or obvious virii in the files.

Yeah, that's what I said in my post. I already sent you the new links before your edit. Thanks for updating the wiki with the correct torrent files.

I'm really not sure why so many upload sites are removing the patch file. I'm guessing that hypersensitivity to some country's messy laws and moral outrage, coupled with the filename, may be causing an issue. You might need to find a host in Finland, Scotland, Japan, Belgium, or Spain, and/or remove the word "loli" from the filename.

Yeah, there is something grossly wrong with combat in this "v2.0" patch (both beta version 1 and beta version 2) compared to the previous "HF v1.8" patch. This was the one thing that was getting me very aggravated when trying out the new v2.0 beta.

EDIT: Actually, I think it is the Hongfire patch that made combat significantly more difficult. We may need to dig for an older version of Jack to find the older, easier combat system.

EDIT 2: Like, it's REALLY bad. I died to the "3 Beggars" fight in a single turn.

I even went back to playing the old original v1.2.1 build by Huntsman and was able to hold my own against most opponents using the same setup.

Spoiler: REALLY, REALLY bad...

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

A great majority of your hits will only deal a measly 2 damage, 5 damage, 3 damage, etc. with the off-chance of hitting in the mid-20s if you stack the buffs/debuffs properly; meanwhile, you're just getting decked with 15s, 20s, etc., or, if you're unfortunate enough to have the Large Ogre or the Fog Fiend as your opponent, pretty much getting two-shotted. Mind you, this is all with the highest possible combat-related stats/skills (Herculean (Strength), Master Swordsman (Fighter), Master of the Whip (Whipping) because I think this also boosts the Lash's effectiveness) and Gothic Plate armor.

The usual strategy to even be viable while patrolling the Border of the Fogs (and to have a backup money-making method in case everything goes south) was to get Leather Armor (taken from Isabelle), a Bastard Sword, and a Stunner or Lash off-hand for the buffs/debuffs, then you learn Roundhouse Kick at the Colosseum. You stack as many buffs/debuffs that will empower your Power Attacks (red) and then give them a Roundhouse Kick for a whopping amount of damage, one-shotting most enemies.

I remember there being discussion in this thread saying that the devs for this v2.0 patch tried messing around with combat but everything was fucking up for touching even the tiniest detail, as if the entire combat system was being held up with glue and rubber bands (

) and whatever was in the HF v1.8 patch and before was a stroke of luck that everything didn't implode. I was thinking that something could have been modified during the development of this beta and wasn't reverted, perhaps?

Well, I swear. My Mega account was fine, no virus, no pornography. I shared the game files with Powerairmax for months. Then, a few weeks after uploading 2.0 version 1, all the links were deleted, and my account was banned (with no explanation of course).

I will try another account and avoid uploading the specific patch. I won't post it on F95 of course, rule 7 and everything.

 

[luxoord]

Now thats the patch who we are talking about, holy *** how much content have they done

 

[Nytemare]

I like playing these types of games but in this one, the system is absolutely unforgiving. It seems way hard to raise obedience, make regular cash, train up any skills to a decent level. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

 

[ordos]

I have tested Jack-o’-nine-tails v2.0 (beta 1.0). Tremendious work you`ve done guys! Thank you very much for your efforts!

 

[RestlessZenza]

Just finding this today, is this the successor of the slave maker series?

 

[allthetoast]

Yes, I totally agree. Some have big breasts too, which is weird (although it can be justified by the lore, maybe? I hope ^^).
Powerairmax handles the full body images, the face, the json files, the code...
I handle the scenes, the musics, the backgrounds...

Meaning I don't have any personal power of decision. But I notified Powerairmax about it since day 1 of beta version 1. If he has the courage to review all the lolis and/or a photoshop algorithm to make them not look so far away, I'll notify you.

If someone else want to tackle this problem (or any problem), he's welcome. Just notify me (by quoting me or sending me a PM).


I'm trying to create an account there, waiting for their confirmation email... I will keep you up to date.

It looks like the confirmation email is a little bugged. I had to go to profile and select resend confirmation email, then I got it in like 10 seconds. Wasn't filtered into spam. Maybe try again? Otherwise I can try to make the project, though I'm not clear on whether the release files are the same as the dev files.

GITGUD REPO IS LIVE:

You must be registered to see the links

I have set the privacy settings to internal, so that only logged in users may view it. I split game/content/pics/girls into a git submodule to keep the game repot size down. The loli patch is in its own repo titled "controversial-content-patch". qwertyu12359 and Powerairmax my username on gitgud is allthetoast, please let me know when you make accounts so that i can add you as owners on the project.

Note: the confirmation email for gitgud seems a little buggy so you will likely have to select "resend confirmation email" in your profile

This was the biggest git push I have done by far!

Combat was indeed reworked in 1.7.5. One of the reasons for the spike in difficulty is that the slaves are generally better quality now. Some even being S+ potential IIRC. There are some enemies that I remember being able to defeat without much difficulty, otherwise, you're going to need pretty much the best gear available, the special items, as well as, proper special techniques, buffing, debuffing etc.


TLDR: Yup, really difficult
