Ok? Thanks for the answer. Hope you find it for the next release, I like the game. Thanks for the quick response.
Unity Venus's Club [v9.5.0.1] [Disgruntler]
- Thread starter Disgruntler
- Start date
Hi folks!
I made a quick and dirty Save Game Editor for Venus's Club. Works with current version 9.5.0.1
In my play style, I don't really need to cheat with money, rep, or any other stats. But I often want to disable certain policies again, and don't really like Karens (that's how "On-Floor Manager" is called in the original code
), so I started it.
However, I figured the guys here also would like to change some other things.
You can change the main club stats (money, reputation, influence, connection), as well as many girl stats (skills, openness, popularity, ...), and a girl's power (or trait).
It works only on recruited girls, you cannot add improvements, nothing about costumes, etc.
Install:
Extract
Usage:
Click "Load", select a save file, edit, click "Save"
The editor will make a backup of the save files, so if something goes wrong, you can reset to your state. It will also try to re-load after saving and automatically revert if something goes wrong. But that's not 100% failsafe. However, never experienced any issues.
Let me know if there are problems, or how you like it!
Update
Fixed a potential problem when no girls are recruited in the game.
Removed "Affection" (not used in game yet)
Update 2
The original file was detected as virus (I can assure you it is not). I contacted F95 staff, they recommended to reupload with password
Update 3
Fixed a version where some values had wrong bounds and save file wouldn't load. This file is a gain password protected to work around false virus detection:

I made a small save game editor, where you can change it: https://f95zone.to/threads/venuss-club-v9-5-0-1-disgruntler.48941/post-9348845
This is awesome.
Just so you know Disgruntler, when you try to fire a Crown Jewel, it crashes the game (unable to hire anyone else).
I was testing and found out the hard way.

Iiiiinteresting. I'll look into it when I find time.This is awesome.

I generally either add new save information onto the end of the save or within the girl objects so I expect forward compatitibility.
The only thing I ask of you is, if you see a stat that doesn't seem to be referenced in game, that's either something for future work I'm considering or it's something Tobe put in that is unused that I might find a way to incorporate--please don't work with those. It won't break anything, but there's no guarantee that it'll become 'a thing' either.
It's your games though, you do you.
I get an error when I load a save "End of Stream was encountered before parsing was completed."
Any ideas what I've done wrong?
I hope I didn't upset you in a way by publishing this editor... You do great work in continuing Tobe's work on that game with some nice and fresh ideas. Really enjoy the work!
About compability: it should work with future developments, however, the new data for new version will be lost after editing. The tool reads and completely rewrites the save file, so anything it doesn't know about will be lost. But I might update if it comes to that.
I just saw that "affection" is not used in game so far. That's what you refer to, I think...
But there are other ways this editor might break game mechanics: e.g. you could set any girl as ASSISTANT, or you can remove policies that are requirements for others that you've already purchased. I don't know if the game might break in some way when you do that. But that's anyone's own risk if he wants to bypass some mechanics.
As I said, just a quick and dirty tool to change some attributes I found usefull...
Is the save game from the newest Venus's Club version (9.5.0.1)? This error occurs if there should be more data in the save file, but isn't... E.g. an older save.
Yes. It's a fresh restart from the weekend using the most recent update (I think). But for some reason, my main folder says 9.5.0.2.
I'm not really sure why the folder is named that way.
I'm re-downloading a fresh install and I'll let you know if it continues. Thanks for putting the app together and for taking time to answer my question.
Edit: Looks as though I was running a test build from August (9.5.0.2) instead of the stable release from June (9.5.0.1).
Didn't even realize it.
Disgruntler one thing I noticed on the .2 is that I often have trouble gaining enough Influence to buy the late-stage upgrades. It sometimes take 4-5 days to pick up the 10 influence I need for each upgrade in the Final Club.
It makes it so the only way to acquire performers is through the Lottery -- which is fine because I was picking up 100 or so Connection points each night.
In one save, I went a week without picking up any Influence but had close to 2000 Connection -- and it frustrated the hell out of me. lol
That's why I was looking into the app to see if I could boost it up a little quicker. Not sure if it's something with the build or the way I play the game but I thought I'd toss it out here.

Yeah 0.2 has some behind the scenes changes to the GirlClass object which would change the file structure. My 0.1 saves aren't compatible either.
At first I was confused at how this could be, because Connection is the slower drip currency. However, reading this, I think you mean that you're flush with Influence (mafia dudes) and dry with Connection (suit dudes)
My current meta gets me a fairly decent rate of Suit Dudes so I'll share my strat that I generally test with.
I generally target +Con or +Penetration work Investments, because I know that everything else eventually just falls into place. I often will grab the +Rep/Inf/Con costume if I'm running Crown Jewels just because those are the major bottlenecks.
Okay, so, that said, let's say you're in a rut and you're still not getting Suit Dudes. One technique I've deliberately included support for is something I call Snobchurning.
Basically, if you anticipate having trouble with Connection down the road, make sure you have a couple Snobs in your back pocket. Then, set your first three modular/specialty booths to Dance or Posing.
The thing with Suit Dudes, unlike Mafia Dudes or Cash, is that there's no scaling with duration or happiness. All that matters is that you sent a girl to the guy, and that the girl finishes service. The snob will end service very early, but the dude will still supply the full amount of Suit Dudes.
Then you churn--you just blow right through guys, bam bam bam bam bam.
My bad, I confused the two. Yep, plenty of Mafia, no suit dudes. Didn't think about the Snobchurn (nice term, BTW) but I did all the costume stuff to see if anything kicked.
I can't remember which Investors I had going going but I find I often look for the same ones each time I start new (Theme, Change Trait, Add to other Bonuses, and a random one to lower costs or lower openness). I probably should take time to actually see how each of these work differently.
Thanks for replying.
Sorry if this has been brought up before or if I'm just missing a setting, but I've noticed two different girlpacks always become the first girl added if I start a new scramble mode save. Even if I reroll it changes the 2 I can acquire but the free one is always the same. First time I noticed it happening I just deleted the girl but now it's happening again with Maya Woulfe.
Is there anything in their JSON file that would cause this? It's happening in 9.5.0.2.

Look to see if "firstgirl":true,
I think I set it that way for Maya <sorry>. Change the true to false on both girls and it should be back to random.
FYI: There is a pretty handy editor on the first post for fixing these things.

Ah, Thank you! I'm blind, I tried comparing the JSON to another pack before asking and I never noticed that flag.
I made a small mod for Venus's Club 9.5.0.1. It's just some small control adjustments, for easier navigation during the booth game. I like to use the Numpad, as there all keys are relatively close (and I always struggle finding the numbers in the row...). Also tried to make better use auf auto-zoom and auto-pause. And fixed the finisher hotkeys
Features:
"No Karen" Version:
I made a second patch, that will additionally remove the energy-constraints of "On-Floor Managers" (aka Karens). With this, the requirement of 100 energy and reduced energry regeneration are removed.
Installation:
Extract and copy/replace the Assembly-CSharp.dll in {VCFolder}\Venus's Club Happy Hour_Data\Managed
You might want to make a backup of the original file.
Troubleshooting:
Game is stuck in auto-mode when girl won't do a performance
Disgruntler If you want, I can PM you the code changes I've made. The hotkeys are quite obvious, but auto-zoom / auto-pause and finisher fix might be worthwhile to have for the official game. Just write me!

Hallelujah!
Woot!
My balance concern: OFMs/Karens currently work -because- they're taken off the field so you have to use them (or put them backstage) to get their bonus the rest of the time. If Karen no longer has to work to get the bonus, what's stopping one from just having her sit there passively giving the bonus as girls 7-8?
Yeah, send me the source code and I'll take a boo at it!
I know it breaks your intended mechanics. But as I posted before in my Save Game Editor, they just break my game flow...
That's why I posted a version with and without this mechanic

Don't take it as 'I think it sucks don't do it' but more as 'Here's my explanation as why it is, but ultimately, it's your game and if changing it adds fun, go for it.'
Happy Hour wouldn't exist if I'd left well enough alone, so I can hardly fault you for it!

I am getting the same error and my game is 9.5.0.2?? It is on a newly started game, should the game run into it more or what for the editor to work? I have the editor in its own file, does it have to integrated into the game files itself (replacing some of the data within)?
