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

[Disgruntler]

Also, my mind is a bit scrambled right now. What does popularity do again? I tried looking in the girlpack and the changelogs but can't spot anything.

It boosts income for any act, as well as other benefits.

I'm a little confused as to what the screen is showing. Scrambled mode is just the game with the girls' stats randomised isn't it? Girls that require advanced stats etc won't show until later and lottery girls won't show either which is what we want. Why is Kylie not showing on the left there?

It's also out of order, which means that the means to scramble is in the code now. It seems like a minor thing but, it's not. The reason Kylie is still showing has to do with how the recruitment page works. Something I need to fix--amongst other things on the list of things I need to fix about it. But it's just to show that it's totally possible in engine.

That's great. Honestly the randomisation of stats has made a bigger difference than I thought it would. I am enjoying the build up of my (different) girls from the beginning of the game.

Also, don't take my deluge of messages as a virtual cracking of the whip. From my point of view, take as much time as you need. Don't feel any time pressure from me. There's a tonne of other things I really should be doing. Somehow though, I always end up coming back to this game every now and then. It'll be even more now that you're actively working on it and there are more girlpacks being made due to TUSC as well.

Again, really appreciate all your hard work.

I don't feel pressured at all. Quite a few great ideas have come out in the past couple days, and I have quite a few interesting things I'd like to try (even if I haven't solved how to get them done yet).

I'm using CaptC's randomiser which is awesome but I can't help but notice that ScrambleMode rounds to the 100's which satisfies my slight OCD.

It was pretty easy to add a round up function to the moneyCost. It will round up to the nearest 100, now. In the VCRandomizer.py in my Mega.

Thanks for doing that.

I did quickly look up how to do it but I got lazy/sidetracked and didn't get back to looking at it.

All this excitement surrounding the game as made me want to maybe, just maybe make a girlpack. I think the biggest hurdle for me would be to upload it somewhere.

Holy AmazeBalls, Batman! I generally ignore that 'See Staff' button, but it is now a 'must check daily'!

Most people get started with a free Mega.nz account. I know I did.

Yeeeep.

Take the listed cost with a grain of salt. In that build it'll charge double what it should, and you might see some underflow errors as a result. The current dev build has that fixed.

The game has hung on me twice while going through the script to turn on criminal activity. Here's the screenshot of where the hang occurs. Let me know if I can get you more information -- but I was bad and haven't saved the game recently.

That did happen to me as well but I loaded my latest save (I pretty much save after everything always ) and made it past the second time. I think it may have been I was clicking too fast?? The second time I didn't spam my clicks and it didn't hang.

Can I ask what does your randomizer do exactly? I have an assumption and am excited to use it and also I guess I havent checked your mega in a while because you have many more girlpacks in there, thank you! I already enjoy most of your girlpacks already!

Had the exact same thing, I guess the game doesn't like spammy clickers.

TLDR version: The randomizer goes through all your installed girlpacks, checks for a variety of things, randomizes each girl's cost (in money, influence, reputation and connections), and then modifies her skills and popularity to somewhat match her new price.

I see you added Carrie Fisher in there, havent downloaded her yet but please tell me that you have the "slave girl" costume in there, lol! (I am such a perv, lol)

 

[CaptC]

I don't think the slave girl outfit features prominently. There are some soft bdsm scenes where Darth Vader is having his way with her in the Death Star, though.

 

[mgunner2010]

Ok, two things then I will quit for a while. First for CaptC: will the randomizer script work for the VCHH? And second is for the Happy Hour dev, will the development of Happy Hour remain on this thread or are you considering making a new thread for this?

For some reason, Venus Club--rarely--refuses to load in the dialog options for that specific line. I've encountered it twice in the old Venus Club and once in Happy Hour. I'm not sure what causes it or even where to start troubleshooting it, but I'm aware that it happens. At least you have your autosave.

I haven't changed anything about the file format or how stats are loaded so it will work with VCHH. Further, CaptC is one of this community's more helpful and prolific creators and he's the last person I'd want to shit in the cornflakes of in terms of file formatting.

I might create a new thread but for now, with the small incremental changes I'm doing, I'm not yet convinced it's 'ready for prime time.'

 

[CaptC]

Unless and until one of the games diverges from the base Venus Club directory structure, my scripts should work across all games. The developers of Venus Club, Venus Happy Hour, and TUSC all seem to think the same way I do - I am a big believer in backwards compatibility. But I am not a slave to it. If a game DOES do something different for good reasons, I am quite likely to modify my scripts accordingly.

Is there a process via which you can just take over this thread?
