HTML Wife Adventures - The Control App [v0.9.1] [Crayman]

[phupdup]

Author is probably developing on Windows NTFS and is oblivious to problems on true case sensitive filesystems such as on linux. I immediately encountered broken image links problems and had to throw in a softlink to point "images" at "Images". I'm sure I will run into more problems further on. NTFS will allow files and directory names to be created with mixed case yet still happily ignore case when loading them in from file URLs.

Either force yourself to make everything uppercase or take greater care when setting up URLs. Also DO NOT allow Windows to hide file extensions or else your software will tend to specify extensions like ".jpg" and ".JPG" interchangeably.

How do you get the "debt" path so that Emily takes jobs?

I feel like this will be a good game eventually but at the moment too much of the paths are too incomplete. I tried playing but the wife become unstable straight away so I turned off the influence for days and she become very unstable, I don't know if that is a bug or what. I hope the developer keeps up with good progress I look forward to playing the dom wife when that is completed.

Besides having to softlink an "images" directory to point at "Images", I also had to softlink "vanilla" to "Vanilla". That seemed to fix nearly everything. There was a couple of broken links when following wife on the weekend and just lazing around, but I didn't bother to pursue it.

Because of the lack of direction or hints, I ended up throwing the html into Twine to poke around and then brought up the variables in the Javascript console to see where I might have been stuck. I had hit at least one bad end by just letting the control app continue to influence the wife without turning it off at some point. That ended up dropping the $balance to negative.

Three variables control the wife path (dom, sub or naive): $sexuality, $liberty and $control. The decision point is when $sexuality goes up to 41. If $liberty is greater than 6 and $control is less than 5 at this point, the wife follows the dom path. Flipped the other way she goes sub. I didn't look much further to see when she might go a hot wife path. I ended up using the console to force her into the dom wife path because she was already locked into naive with sexuality gone way too high by the time I started looking into things.

Buying the laptop is crucial if you want to make the wife dom. Switch to her view in the morning when you can and have her look at porn. There's also a glory hole scene in the park. Too bad the author hasn't added much content to either one.

Having MC not question the stepfather about his gambling habits and also not disclosing that the couple is married at the work welcome party events will knock down control. These are oneshot events.

Also oneshot is the BBQ set of events. I got locked into the neighbor's wife's naive path before I knew it. There's no way to reverse out of that when she becomes available for talk after work at that point. The author needs to add more flexibility about this whole path selection thing.

I stumbled into the principal "secret" path and was thus locked out of the student path. I wouldn't consider these two things to be exclusive.

The author needs to add a stat counter on the sidebar if they expect us to be able to tell where we are in the decision paths. It should include $sexuality, $liberty, $control, $balance and some sort of indicator for current command state and whatever cooldown there that may be necessary. We should also be able to see where we stand with the various relationships at a glance.

On fear of sounding ignorant, what's Twine?

 

[phupdup]

Twine is the html development environment that is used by just about all of the entries in the HTML forum.

You must be registered to see the links

There are currently three different "language" modules that come with Twine, SugarCube, Harlowe and Snowman. The vast majority of Twine apps (including the author's) use SugarCube.

You can download the Twine app and "import" the author's html file. It then brings up a graphic, passage oriented GUI for browsing and editing the content. It is severely limited as an editor however. I wish somebody would write a decent Eclipse plugin for power users. Also, on that note, the Twine environment isn't the only way to develop this stuff. If you ever heard of "Free Cities" that author started in Twine and then the app outgrew its usefulness. So the author switched to a more file oriented system called Twee where passages become individual files that can be edited with normal editors and then "compiled" into a single html file.

huh, every day's a school day. Thanks for this, I'll have a look. Was always kinda curious how they were made.

when i select "Command" says
"Error: Target has already been commanded today. " but i never commanded her

You did, it just a hint that you just did that and can't do it anymore. Just a bad phrasing in that moment.

oh, thanks!
another thing that i don't understand is how can I increase or decrease my control over her?

 

[thedude2866]

fuck the webcam job is hot as hell, had to cheat a bit to get to it though. Hope the hot wife route continues

How'd you get to it? I can't figure out how to get the additional jobs on any path

 

[thedude2866]

I like his writing, but I do think it wou

How'd you get to it? I can't figure out how to get the additional jobs on any path

I looked at the source code and it seems that first you have to miss a payment on any day that is divisible by 28, so day 28, 56,84... Pretty sure you also have to be on a wife path, which seems to be picked once her sexuality reaches 41 and you go to sleep. Then you should be able to talk to her about making more money, this part always failed for me, no clue why, so what you want to do is use the console to set the variable debtwork to 3 and one of the variables debt_work_path_* where the * is either naive dom hot sub equal to 1. Not sure if they actually have to match the path you are on though, then as the wife you can look at the laptop for a job. If you want to switch the job while on the same save then make sure to reset the other path variables back to 0

naive = young old content
dom = Stripper
hot = Webcam
sub = X Club (no content currently)

EDIT: If you're going to cheat you don't have to miss the payment, that just sets the variable debtwork to 1 and lets you ask her about working more. So just set it to 3 and you're good.

And I personally don't like ntr content, unless its somebody else's wife

 

[BoredPenguin]

Thats... weirdly specific. Thanks.

 

[thedude2866]

Thats... weirdly specific. Thanks.

Which part?

 

[Progenitor]

Wow John can afford a $5,000 app but his new job at a magazine publisher only pays $50 a day? John could make more bagging groceries.

 

[sora21345]

gonna wait till there's more content with the neighbor

 

[Punkreas]

How can i start the HotWife Path ?

 

[WuzzyFuzzy]

Reading recent comments I feel both better and worse. Better because others are having the same issues so I know it's not just me being confused about quest progression. Worse because I worry about the future of this game.

So few authors of these VNs can actually write appropriate erotica, but this dev seems to have a good knack for it. But the HTML is a mess and there's no hint system or way to track if we've reached the end of version, etc. I've been seeing that nutty neighbor every day for over two months and know of no way to either rid myself of her.

HTML is not a terribly difficult language to code and I think it would be best for this game if the production added a good coder and let the current author concentrate on the script. One mistake I see often repeated is a dev that tries to do it all in an effort to keep all the $$ that might come their way. In the long run they'd likely make a better game and obtain more rewards by bringing others on board.

Regardless, I hope everything falls in place and all the problems are eventually resolved.

 

[lynrd]

so about the "replay scenes" page, can we actually unlock everything in it? or some of it are just a placeholder for future updates?
