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

[Disgruntler]

I have been looking into the trap issue where a girl's icon ends up stuck under a booth after a performance instead of on the left side of the screen. I have noted the issue with Tasha Reign, Anissa Kate, Ariella Ferrera, and Viola Bailey packs. Disgruntler confirmed he has observed the issue with the first three and so have others. I discovered Viola Bailey in the process of testing the other three.

Can confirm. As far as I can tell, this is an issue with the 2019 build of unity (which is what Venus is built under) and that's not something I can do anything about (other than upgrading to 2021 and recoding and Nightmare)


And thank you, atmo, for your work behind the scenes. I appreciate the help.

If in Scramble mode, a girl who will not dance should not be selected by the game as the first girl. Several cartoon characters have no such videos. I just got Serath and the game is dead. Easy to restart, but frustrating nonetheless.

Ironicly, I do have code for girls that are intended for the Foreplay and Oral tier of play to make them cheaper if they can't 'perform' but I don't actually have a check for 'can't dance' with the first couple recruits. This is actually a good idea (and I should have a check for the first few girls, not just the freebie).

I wouldn't like turfing a run because of this. I'll work on a fix immediately.

EDIT: Fix is in new build. Your first few girls (including your starter) can't have someone who won't do a basic dance in them now. Thank you for this feedback.

Are you playing in Normal Mode (The recruitment screen has a list of girls on the left side, and a big middle portrait), or Scramble Mode (It shows 2-9 plates all over the screen, small portraits, and no girl stats)?

oh never mind its all working fine thanks, one more thing does the game get updated automatically if i add more girl-packs or do i have to restart the entire game to see the girls in recruit tab? and also what is the main difference between normal and scramble mode?

 

[CaptC]

In normal mode, all your girlpacks are available, but you may or may not be able to afford any of them.

In Scramble mode, you can only hire from a selection of the packs that the game picks. However, until you get very late game, you are very likely to be able to afford almost any of them.

Girlpacks will be added to your game the next time you run the program. But beware, there are a few bugs that this seems to trigger. If you add new packs, I suggest starting the game, loading your save, then exit and restart. That seems to take care of most of the 'added a new pack' bugs

oh ok thanks for explaining.

A couple other differences is that girls automatically start with traits in Scramble Mode but you need to manually train them in Normal Mode, and that Scramble Mode has automatic scaling of girl's stats as you get further and further in, whereas Normal Mode always has the same stats every time as set in the girls' description.JSON files.

I recommend getting a feel for the game mechanics in Normal Mode before Scramble Mode, but hey, it's your game, do as pleases you.

Doing a final test run of the newest build right now. This one is a bit more complicated under the hood, though, so it's a lot harder to check.

 

[Disgruntler]

A bit of a teaser for what's coming up.

 

[xxxtent]

i have a 4 questions?
1. What does taking a class for a girl do? does it increase all their stats by few points?
2. when can i access brokers in game?
3. can i get the names of few girlspacks who have lessons ? i only know of elena koshka, adriana Chechik and abigal mac.
4. i play scrambled mode and like it but will i miss any story lines by playing scramble?

 

[RottenPlum]

I downloaded happy hour, how to install it? Should i copy and paste files to regular venus club? Also does happy hour mode have more content with Nicole or is there a mod to add more content with her?

1- In both modes, taking a class will drain their energy for five days but they'll be getting 2 skill points in each stat in each of those days. On top of this, in Normal Mode, this also has a good chance to give the girl a trait, which gives them additional benefits or allows them to 'break a rule' in some way.

2- Brokers are accessed by buying the ability in Club Improvements, for 5 Connection (the resource with the suit icon.) In order to earn Connection, you need to have unlocked the Gespote Crime Family's upgrades and purchased the 5 Influence one that gives you more visits from special clients. This will also enable Politicians which give you Connection. Once you've done that, there's a suited icon near the Crime Family icon, and that will let you assign a girl to the Brokers.

3- CaptC has a few with lessons but I don't keep a list, sorry.

4- Naw, everything you can do with Nicole is in Scramble Mode.

I downloaded happy hour, how to install it? Should i copy and paste files to regular venus club? Also does happy hour mode have more content with Nicole or is there a mod to add more content with her?

I do not recommend overwriting the original Venus Club, instead, install it in a new Happy Hour directory and move your girlpacks and music folder over. I haven't had any problems myself with overwriting but it's not worth taking any chances--game's haunted at times.

As for more content with Nicole, I haven't expanded the story, however, I have enabled her to use finishers, and once you've finished her dates and story, you can unlock Oral, Sex, and Group for her.

I have no plans with regards to expanded cutscenes or tutorials, but am rather approaching it from the standpoint of adding new gameplay features and mechanics, which I feel is where the game's advantages are and where it shines.

I just posted a list of girlpacks with lessons, in the thread about packs.

 

[RottenPlum]

Copied the happy hour mode to regular venus club and it's working, however i can't end the day when they preform, whenever i click on it it just won't do nothing. When i load autosave i progress to new day but money earned is suddenly in minus and same bug (can't end the day) persist. I mainly downloaded happy hour for continuation of Nicole scenes but while it does work there are no more dialogues so i don't know if that's an issues that causes no day end bug... Is there any solution for this? Or can somebody upload full save with basic girl pack?

Was this off a fresh Happy Hour game, or was it a continuation of a v8.1 game?

It's a loaded save from regular v8 i downloaded here, then i downloaded and pasted your V9.1.s.1 in your signature into regular v8 (maybe that's what messed it up) because of more Nicole options like BJ, etc, but like i mentioned, i can't end day when i click on it.

Other issue, but not that important, added Anna Polina, folder with files like img, json, etc is same as default girls pack but there is no option to hire her, maybe i have bugged save but i can't bother to start new game all over again because i unlocked everything with all upgraded for main girls pack in my v8 save of regular game.

I will try to just paste girls pack into Happy Hour v9.1.S.1 and see if that works.
Edit: That didn't work, same issue, i think only full save would solve this.

 

[xxxtent]

Also after downloading a girl pack if I rename the girlpack to something else then it doesn't appear in the game. Is there a way around it?

I do my best to try to ensure saves are compatible as best as I can, but unfortunately, once new features start adding to the save files there's only so much I can do in that regard, and I apologize that it isn't in this case.

On the bright side, scramble mode is meant for replayability!

As for Anna not showing:

1) Make sure your Girlpacks folder is always organized and set up like this:



The system isn't going to look deeply into subfolders, it expects your packs to be organised like this, and if it finds something that doesn't quite fit, it won't accept it.

2) Make sure that her top level folder opens directly into the folder with images, JSON_data, texts, and videos folders. If opening it goes into a subfolder with the girls name again, the system can't see it correctly and will ignore it.

It should look like this:



If you have a data.yml file here as well, that's okay, that's for The Ultimate Strip Club and you can safely ignore it, Venus Club doesn't do anything with it, nor does it care that it's there, so just leave it there for TUSC-compatibility.

3) go into her JSON_data folder, open her Description.JSON file (you can do so in notepad)



and make sure that there's no line that says:

"inLottery": "true",

and if there is, either change "true" to "false" or delete the line entirely, if you want her to show up in recruits straight away. This line being "true" doesn't mean she isn't in the game, but it does mean you'll have to wait until you use the lottery before you'll see her.

Then, you'll also want to make sure....

Also after downloading a girl pack if I rename the girlpack to something else then it doesn't appear in the game. Is there a way around it?

4) You also have to make sure the girlpack folder name and their name in their information file is identical. So, go into her JSON_data folder, and open her Description.JSON file and make sure the line that says

"name": "Kimberly Brix",

or whatever, has the exact same name that you named her girlpack folder.

So, for example, for Xxlayna Marie, in the Description.JSON file, if the like says anything except

"name": 'Xxlayna Marie",

then the system will reject it outright, and it won't work or be visible by any means. The game will refuse to load it.

5) In the Description.JSON file, every entry but the last needs to end with a comma. I don't make the rules. JSON does.

If you rename the pack, you have to rename the description.JSON entry for the pack identically. A girlpack with a JSON "Name" entry that doesn't match the folder name will not appear.

If you've edited the JSON, check for other factors in the JSON: InLottery, ReputationCost, InfluenceCost.

If Lottery is True, she'll only appear in that portion of the game (random chance); If Reputation or Influece are higher than 0, she won't be available until you get farther in the game.
