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

[WhoIsHee]

I made new packs and the videos just don't open, older girls opens normally, but the every new one i added, doesn't show the videos in the booths. Anyone having the same problem? Any help or solution to this?

Make sure you're using the right codec (VP9 doesn't work).

Excuse my ignorance, but how do i check and change this?

If you made the clips, there might be some indication of it in the video editor (where would depend on which program you're using). If you have VLC Media Player, you can open one of your videos and click Tools > Codec Information.

That was actually the problem, the new videos were in VP9 and olders in VP8, now i can solve it. Thanks a lot for the help.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does this suppose to show and allow you to do?

Those are times for when a new customer is expected to arrive. Once the timer reaches the bottom it does a check (based on reputation and the day) and if it succeeds a customer shows up. It then goes to the other timer unless your booths are full.

Thank you for that! I've been playing the game for a few years and had no idea about that myself.

Apologies if this has already been covered before, but I couldn't track down a fix for this. I am having a bug with a new pack I just put together- she can't be recruited in scramble mode, and setting her to first girl results in the game hanging and crashing. adding multiple first girls just results in her never showing up as well. Here is a link to the pack in question:

Just added the pack into one of my games and it loaded fine. Depending on the version some packs get placed into the lottery even if not noted to do so. I checked the pack in 9.5.0.2, and it did take a moment to load all the packs but it did load and was first girl.

I think this happened to me with a couple packs too (including a brand new one I made myself). Any idea why it does that?

I don't have an answer as to why, but I'll add that its happened to me as well. I even went into the JSON editor and told it she was NOT in the lottery, but when I went to hire her, she wasn't there. It seems both random and rare, but its certainly a thing.

I've started a new game since then, I'm curious to see whether it will happen with the same packs.

The way it happens it seems to be picking crown jewels and throwing them into the lottery. Only happens in 9.5.0.2 which has a horked start menu. If you start the game with only a small number of packs you can't play at all, need somewhere near 20 packs to avoid. Then when you start it will take you to scramble even though only normal should be available.

The packs that went to the lottery in my last game weren't there at the start, so they couldn't have been picked as Crown Jewels. I figured it was some kind of glitch with adding them in later, which is why I'm curious to see whether those same ones will end up in the lottery again.

I don't usually play Crown Jewels style anyways. And I have over 300 packs, so the small sample size certainly isn't my issue.

If it's happening in Scramble Mode, this isn't what's happening, because no one gets 'thrown into the lottery.' This is just not behavior that exists in the game.

In normal mode, it checks girls who are flagged for the lottery in their JSON. In scramble, it ignores the flag and grabs a random girl who is not in the CJ list for that specific game.

You are right though, it is going into the scramble mode when scramble mode should be disabled. I'll get back to you on this.

I've already reported that happening to you once before. Just because you're not aware of a reason why/how it would be happening doesn't mean it can't.

The problem isn't that it's throwing girls 'into the lottery' in scramble mode (that wouldn't do anything, Scramble Mode just ignores the lottery's existence), the problem appears to be that it's doing normal mode behavior but giving access to the scramble mode UI which is the undefined behavior.


EDIT: I think I found the cause.

Tested a fix, seems to work but my build is in a limbo state because of other changes needing to be worked with so I do not have an eta on this.

What's happening with the bug is when you start a new game, what it's doing is checking if the toggles for the various game selections are set, and then going forward with those selections. I switched to toggles because there's a third setting in the works and every game-type setting I add would double the number of buttons and so I swapped over to toggles.

What I forgot to do is check to see if a toggle was deactivated in the logic for checking if the toggle was set or not upon starting a gain. So what you're seeing is the abnormal behavior the game does when trying to do scramble+cjs with a low girl-count.

All I know is, when I clicked on the lottery button in Scramble mode, it recruited girls that weren't available (even after all the other girls were recruited) in the normal Recruit Girls screen.
