Unity Venus's Club [v9.5.0.1] [Disgruntler]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by rights issues? it just uses the files you already have to create the underlining json structure. Technically there shouldn't be much issues when running the script.

As I said: I understand what your script does, average users will not. The worst advice one can give an average user on a Windows machine is to run some script in powershell, as what you try with the script will require proper rights to access and write. Your account has basically no street cred despite being old, which means you should be willing to support what you offer. People will run into problems and one of the most obvious ones will probably be some lack of enough rights in the shell.

Ah now i understand what you mean. It should work without elevating rights actually, i tried it on a fresh install of powershell. If someone needs help i could make a more detailed tutorial. But as of now it's pretty much plug and play
EDIT: As for security reasons, yeah running some script without looking into it is pretty much always a bad idea

I have a similar issue, however it seems not to affect other people. For me videos that are .mp4 do not work at all. If its .webm videos (VP8 specifically) it works fine.
Try it out on your side, to see if its the same issue. And if it is, let me know if you happen to solve it cause I have yet to find a solution besides converting the videos to VP8 .webm

I have the exact opposite problem, and have on two laptops. One Windows 10, the new one Win 11. MP4 are all great, every time. But when I download a pack that uses .webm vids, none of them play, or they have huge issues. Zero idea what the reasons are for any of it.

I rephrase: This is the main thread for the game itself, which consists mainly of the end-users. There is an extra thread for the girl packs including stuff like repackaging, reformatting etc. Your script's audience shouldnt be the average joe enduser, unless you make it really idiot-proof and user friendly. Scripts per se are not an enduser tool.

People collecting, re-uploading, creating, maintaining the lists for them are more your audience and those are not in this thread, but in the other one. For end-users your script needs more, like an interface etc. Anyone, who has ever worked with support, shivers when reading your instructions to copy and paste filenames and directories for a script to work properly. The sheer amount of what people can do wrong there, is what makes it the wrong audience in its current form.

While playstyles may differ, I noticed that in my games I spend most of the time in the first club upgrades. Finally getting to see the highest sex acts is thus naturally rewarding, but also usually game pace in the endgame is changed from "growing" to "grinding", and I rarely continue playing past Final Club or 2nd Jewel.
That does not prevent me from enjoying the game, but it feels wasteful that the end content is rarely seen. I was thinking about possible ways of getting to see Sex and Group acts in the mid-game. For example, I remember in some earlier versions there were random events after the shift end, and it could be a place to peek at the end content. Or it could be pulled after the Broker work, or actually there are a lot of implementations - the question is if it's only my issue with game.

I play like this as well. I think one way to change it would be to adjust the balance so as not to spend as much time at the start, and spend more time at the middle stage. Finding implementation for your ideas would be cool too. I wouldn’t know how to design it in game though.

Hey everyone, I have a Girlpack downloaded(athena farris) but it is showing 0 video. I remade it myself by moving all the vinds in to a newly created character pack(made by the aplication) all the vids are in teh right format and location and i can play them. I have no clue why it is not working. does anyone know?

It could be a problem with the JSON file. If the scenes aren't tagged as being viable, they won't show up in the game.

OK, I think I've managed to combine Raivo's mods with Disgruntler's provided source code. I've also added some things of my own:

- Protosicario's request to add an option to change the portrait change breakpoints (25/50/75/100) to match the performance breakpoints (16.6/33.2/49.8/66.4/83).

No changes to existing girlpacks are needed. But to make the new option fully work, you can add another image named portrait_pose to the girl for that breakpoint. If it doesn't exist, then the default portrait will be used until the foreplay breakpoint is reached. All other portraits stay the same.

- Rearranged the Staff page (see image below). The buttons are now the girls' portrait_small images instead of generic pink buttons. (This is the only page where this appears; I might do this as well for the other pages where the same layout is used.)

- Fixed girl bios not appearing.

- Made the top bar consistent across all screens.

- Changed the Full auto mode and random finishers to only select unlocked finishers (ex. you could previously get creampies while only being able to do blowjobs).

- Probably a couple other small things I forgot about.

I wasn't able to contact Raivo, so I had to try to reverse engineer his mods. It's probable that I missed something. Let me know if something breaks. I'm pretty sure this can't handle saves from 9.5.0.1, so you're probably going to need to start a new game.

If everything works out and once I get more used to the project structure, I might start to try doing actual gameplay changes.

Just to be completely clear, you mean that portrait25 will now show up when they get to 33.2 openness, portrait75 will start being displayed when they get to 66.4, etc.?

EDIT: Since you're expanding on the portraits, would you consider including the option for a second small_portrait? I'm not sure what the breakpoint for it should be, but it would be nice for it to change by 100 at the very least.

Are there any potential issues when one merge girlpacks? The game's just randomly loading a vid file from a folder, so there shouldn't be any issues, right?

There shouldn't be any technical issues as far as I've ever heard. The main problem with merging is duplicate or near-duplicate clips.

Athena Farris pack

I checked the jason and that looks ok, so probably not the cause of your problem.

But i noticed right away that your naming is off for a couple of videos, like this for example:

I am not sure, but this mixed naming could be the source of the problem. Your name in your package is with a double r in Farris, while your videos are like the orginal package with a single r in Faris.

P.S. I moved my original Faris folder and unpacked yours. While it is not giving an error while initializing, it will not show your Farris at all in the list of models. So I am almost certain there is a naming problem here.
P.P.S. Renamed your folder and json to 'Faris' with 1 R and the effect is the same. So it is not just the naming but it has to be something with the files themselves. Maybe someone else has a good idea, as I checked also for codex and those seem to be ok as well

The video files can have any name you want. There are tons of girlpacks out there with videos that don't have the girl's name in it at all, there's no way that could possibly be the problem.

9.5.0.2...plus?

I like the new staff page portrait icons instead of generic pink ones. Maybe its just me, but in both the original and the mod version, some parts of UI seem too busy with information and buttons. Some consolidation would be nice like for rarely used Reset/Repair/RepairAll buttons into one submenu or something.

Seems "Take Class" button doesn't work. Would be nice to also have ability to send them all to class, but I'll hold off on feature requests, I realize this is just a start =)

Thank you for bringing life into this!

Okay, I think I figured it out. The videos labeled "Faris Dance" have the VP9 codec, which doesn't work in this game. The ones labeled "danceDance" are the correct codec (VP8), but they're 60 frames per second, and that may be too much for this game to deal with. I think all the videos would just need to be re-rendered.
