Is it me alone, but it seems we have been reverted to triple-diamond status...?

Not just you. To be more specific: only the message has changed back to triple diamond. The status has never been Master yet, only the message was saying that.

An impossible question to answer as we have absolutely no idea where your interests lie.

and in the ***** of that information ..... I recommend ALL of them 😎

Just select a girl/outfit you like, watch the preview, and maybe read some of the comments
compile a list of favourites and give them a second viewing

If I had to venture a guess...
Member @JJXQ hasn't even participated in the NFT auctions.
and is just trying to present a baseless foul taste to the members.
"Look at how much of a Failure the NFT's are !"

Which to me, is disrespectful to all of the Members who are taking part in this
new successful venture.

You can't disagree with numbers.

Exactly, and the Numbers so far are unquestionable.

Every Auction has been a complete Success with all of the NFT cards selling out.
The re-sales on the secondary Market have also been very successful.

There is really nothing complex
About a skin graphic.

It's the creative idea that is the difficult part.

Once you have the idea and create the image
Making a ***** change for the new UI is minimal in comparison.

The initial creative process
That's where the complexity is.

I believe that one or two of the Palette variables changed.
I will have to look back at an older skin and palette to verify any changes.

What I mean by a complex skin is what @PictureBoy did, for example.

This guy was a real artist.

Unfortunately, his skins are no longer usable with the new version of the program.

And since I really like his skins, I'm sorry to have to upgrade to a newer version of the program.


Ce que j'entend par un skin complexe est ce que faisait par exemple @PictureBoy.

Ce gars était un vrai artiste.

Ses skins ne sont plus utilisable malheureusement avec la nouvelle version du programme.

Et comme j'aime beaucoup ses skins, cela me désole de de devoir passer un jour à une version plus récente du programme.

To Manually Play a small Selection of Scenes
you can Group Select the Scenes
Then use the Single Play buton to PLAY just this group of Scenes.

The Multi-Play button will always play ALL of the Enabled Scenes without regards for any selection made.

The Single Play button will play a single scene or a Group Selection of Scenes.

You can Window Select a connected group, or use the CTRL key to select non-connected scenes.
once your Group selection is made
click the Single Play button to play this group.

The Right Mouse button will work to cycle through any Group of TWO or more Scenes.

Quit and Restart iStripper

Just completed buying a card;and clicked on "Collection" to see it being activated. There was nothing there. A message shown on the blank page said that I had hidden all my cards ,which my Collection View menu showed was not correct. The message said to "go back to hidden cards". When I clicked on that I got a message that said that I had no hidden cards.

What's gone wrong here?? My purchase history lists all of the 74 cards that I have bought, including the most recent purcahse. Where do I go to resolve this ??

If I have a lot of active scenes and I click the right mouse button it changes the scene and the model swith it - surely that is a "restart"

No, that is a Change of Scene to the NEXT scene in the scene que.

If you only have one scene active, or you click the Start button on a single scene
The right Mouse Button will not restart that scene
but the Down Arrow will.

So if you want to use the Right Mouse Button to cycle through the same scene
you need to make a duplicate scene, and then Multi-Play both of the duplicate Scenes.

Then you can use the Right Mouse Button to Change between Two Duplicate scenes.

I could not abide loss of the side bar menu in Forum pages and elsewhere. .

I agree, this looks to be almost unbearable to me too... I think side menu should be available everywere (as it used to be), not only on Collection page as it is now. Current choice is far from user-friendly, it looks uncomfortable and cumbersome.

Also, I would ask to please reinstate "X" button in pages where it used to be available: I think there's no valid reason to drop out such a valid and useful function.

Seeing how many of you have gone back to older versions, I'm glad I stuck with 1.2.360.

I would recommend .378 as the best version if one wants to stay on a stable one prior of the restyling.

@WA

I'm ***** by:

While the Rignt mouse does not cause a restart.

If I have a lot of active scenes and I click the right mouse button it changes the scene and the model swith it - surely that is a "restart"

Is it me alone, but it seems we have been reverted to triple-diamond status...?

The Right Mouse Button vs the Down arrow key.
While both seem to do the same thing, they are very different.

The Down arrow ***** the scene to change / restart.
While the Rignt mouse does not cause a restart.

The RIght Mouse Click is only functional if there is more than ONE scene in the Scene Que.
If Only ONE scene is in the QUE, the right mouse click does not function.

Perusing my Wishlist cards today I see 4 cards each with a "yellow" icon box showing a "-20%" or "-10%. What is the meaning of these boxes? It deosn't seem that they repesent a price reduction for the cards.

@JJXQ

DOLZ is already looking like a failed project. It's been over half a year and you still find less than 700 bids on auctions. Last auction closed with 673 bids and those were from only 285 different people.

Not to mention that some of those just buy them just to instantly sell them at 10+ times the original price they bought them only to make money.

I disagree with pretty much everything you say there. The auctions have been running for 8 weeks not "over half a year". Of course some of them are bought to sell on - but someone is of course buying them, it's a free market. Hardly any cards have been sold for "10+" times the original price. The number of unique owners is growing week by week with the biggest jump on the last auction, that caught me out completely and none of my bids in the Limited auction won even though they were fine 15 minutes before the end. Well played to the people who were able to react quicker while I was eating dinner. I'm fully expecting to be priced out of the market soon - but that is my opinion not investment advise.

@EverthangForever @WA

It does on mine (change the model)

That's what I was trying to avoid when I built the "Journey" scene. The upside of my method being you get a continuous show with backgrounds changing while the show continues. The downside being you can only use as many backgrounds as your system can cope with. @WA's method is potentially unlimited.

@EverthangForever

What about separate /Shader folders@WA Does RandomShaders.exe need to talk to the Windows Registry at all ?ie: does it need to be installed or can it be just copied to each of the Shader Foldersand used ubiquitously as required ? Will the settings for path etc. (if they are saved individually ) be preserved in each case ?

It Can be Copied to each of the Scene folders.
The default Paths are set to the Current Folder where the App is started from.
The Saved Custom PATH is Common to All copies.
so if you Load a custom Path, it is the same custom path for all copies.

( I can serialize these saved paths, so each copy uses it's own set of save and load)

@EverthangForever

Oh, i didn't know that iStripper maybe keeps activation status when you move stuff around. I must try that 👍

There is a registry setting that keeps track of Every Scene the app has ever loaded on the Scenes tab.
Unless you edit this registry, it keeps a History of the Scenes, even after you remove them from the Scenes folder.

Branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\vghd\Scenes

Each Key:
is the name of a Scene that has been loaded on the Scenes tab.
The Value is True or False based on if the Scene is checked Active or Not checked Active.

If you add the Scene back, while iStripper is NOT running
it will use the False or True setting of the this registry branch
when you next start iStripper.

BUT:
If you add the scene back, while iStripper is RUNNING
then the scene is Marked Active as a New Scene.

@Calgon

in it's Startup Mode.
it changes the Random.fsh Shader every 15 seconds.
This doesn't cause the current Scene being viewed to change in any way.

you would have to use the Mouse ( right click) or Keyboard (down arrow) to Change to the Next Qued Scene,
or Wait for the Scene to reach it's time out setting set by the slider on the setting page of iStripper.

The Slider can be set to a minimum of 5 minutes = 300000 milliseconds
1000 x 60 x 5 = 300000

Buy you can Quit iStripper and make a registry edit so that the Scene will change faster than that.
don't move the slider after your edit.
Branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\vghd\parameters

Key:

MinimumSceneDuration

Number of Milliseconds to wait before changing the Scene after a clip ends.

If the Time out is reached, while the current clip is playing, the scene is changed with the next clip.

I've always thought that this project will mainly benefit Totem.

Like many other cards, these will soon be forgotten in favor of new ones.

As the saying goes: "All new and beautiful".


J'ai toujours pensé que ce projet va surtout profiter à Totem.

Comme bien d'autres cartes, celles-ci vont être rapidement oubliées au profit de nouvelles cartes.

Comme on dit: "Tout beau, tout nouveau".

I think you're brave to be testing these new versions of the program.

Seeing how many of you have gone back to older versions, I'm glad I stuck with 1.2.360.

If one day you find a reliable 64-bit version with Windows 10, let me know.

Maybe then I'll take the risk of trying it out.

I don't see anything in your writings that would encourage me to take that risk.


Je vous trouve courageux de tester ces nouvelles versions du programme.

À voir le retour vers de plus vielle version pour plusieurs d'entre vous, je me réjouis d'être resté à la version 1,2.360.

Si un jour vous constater une version 64 bits fiable avec windows 10, faites moi signe.

Peut-être prendrais-je alors le risque de l'essayer.

Je ne vois rien actuellement dans vos écrits, qui m'encourage à prendre ce risque.

As the owner of all the regular cards, I'd noticed the last few times I'd played that the rate of complexity had increased, to get the SEC.

My losses were greater than when the games were first introduced.

I didn't have much to gain in the end, and the SEC card was becoming more expensive.

600 credits is a lot for a card. The last time I got 600 credits was last June. I had paid for 500 credits + 100 bonus credits offered. At the exchange rate, it cost me $69.29 Canadian.

So it would have cost me that much for an SEC card, if I'd been in your shoes @Number6, and even more if I consider that I actually paid for 500 credits.


Étant possesseur de toutes les cartes régulières, j'avais remarqué les dernières fois où j'avais joué, que le taux de complexité avait augmenté, pour obtenir la SEC.

Mes pertes étaient plus grandes qu'au début de l'instauration des jeux.

Je n'avais pas grand chose à gagner au final, et la carte SEC devenait plus cher.

600 crédits c'est énorme pour une carte. La dernière fois où j'ai obtenu 600 crédits, c'est en juin dernier. J'avais payé pour 500 crédits + 100 crédits bonus offert. Cela m'avait coûté avec le taux de change $69.29 canadien.

Donc cela m'aurait coûté ce montant pour une carte SEC, si j'avais été à votre place @Number6, et même plus si je considère que dans les faits j'ai payé pour 500 crédits.

Linda Baker is an Amazing New Model! 😵 First show is Fire! 😋 More Linda Now! 😵 Should be labeled a Squirt Card in categories 🔥

@Calgon - 'I thought the software remembered the state of each scene even of you move it out and back.'
..

Oh, i didn't know that iStripper maybe keeps activation status when you move stuff around. I must try that 👍

Does it restart the scene i.e a new model at each change of shader ?

It does on mine, however depending on the 'Time in Seconds' setting many models can occupy one scene.

• Keyboard right key changes the model in the running scene.
• Down key will change the model & scene after around 15 seconds of play regardless of yr settings
• Time in Seconds is usually a tad less than what you set . My 30 seconds works out at around 23 seconds.

Yeah just scroll through the store, you will soon find a girl you want to grab. 😆
Must remember not to do that when out for real though 😆

An impossible question to answer as we have absolutely no idea where your interests lie.

@WA

I want to start the scene, and just have it cycle through the shaders automatically

Does it restart the scene i.e a new model at each change of shader ?

@Everthang Forever

having to selectively re-activate all their favorite scenes again after use

I though the software remembered the state of each scene even of you move it out and back. What I tend to do is.... move a folder that has all the scenes I want active all the time to a subfolder...then select all of the remaining scenes and deactivate all of them ... then move my folder back into the scene folder.

kiss love love

Recomadation for the best shows here

can confirm it's not just a problem about managing volume controls, but a real issue which some users are unfortunately experiencing on all 64-bits versions since .524.

Agree with that...to date, broken Win10 codecs for iStripper remains unresolved in spite of all revisions.
As a Windows 10 iStripper version 524 ,32 bit user I was even having occasonal stability issues with the check boxes on the My Music page being toggled off (red to clear) however the music still played. Thats it.. sorry, I had had enough.. Gone back to version 378 indefinitely ..also as well as the lack of music in versions > 524, I could not abide the two clicks for everything dropdown menu & the loss of the side bar menu in Forum pages and elsewhere. .

👍😜

Version 1.2.528 64bit
The app shuts down after a Synchronize with server. No error message in the log file. The stability issue is still there, I think.

There have been other members who did report music issue on newest versions (music files not audible while reproducing animations), issue which me and @Everthangforever have already being repeatedly reporting; they did so in another thread - thread which has been wrongly closed by Mods dismissing it as just an issue on user side.

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/53395/1?post=768291

I, instead, can confirm it's not just a problem about managing volume controls, but a real issue which some users are unfortunately experiencing on all 64-bits versions since .524.

Welcome to the istriper comunity. You let my heart beat higher with ,your perfekt Body. your beautiful, charming face, and youe amacing Performance. i'm looking forward to your next card💖💖😘💖💖💖

@hansolo1215 - you got the reward for becoming a Gold member when you became one - which must have been over 5 years ago as your account shows no purchases in that time.

What about separate /Shader folders
@WA Does RandomShaders.exe need to talk to the Windows Registry at all ?
ie: does it need to be installed or can it be just copied to each of the Shader Folders
and used ubiquitously as required ? Will the settings for path etc. (if they are saved
individually ) be preserved in each case ?

With Regards to Having Multiple Working Scene Folders/
I do this by Renaming the Data\Scenes folder

So I have several Folders
Data\Scenes-001
Data\Scenes-002
Data\Scenes-003

Then to make one of them the Current Scenes folder
I quit iStripper
rename the existing data\Scenes folder to data\scenes-004
and then rename one of the others to data\scenes

Then restart iStripper

you can make as many of these folders as needed, and then swap between them

Just upgraded to the new version. After the upgrade i got a message saying i was a Gold Member. The Free Credit it says for being a Gold Member does that happen when i add Credits since i am at 0 credits right now?

II suspect there are at least 2 things that approve your odds of felling like a winner.First if you have all or most of the shows there's is nothing left to win but credits and the targeted exclusive card so my guess is the system gives credits for any win (instead of shows). The additional credits allow the player to play longer reaching the exclusive card faster and offering more opportunity at winning one of the larger payouts instead of winning shows

Not really true.

As somone who has all the cards the last 3 SECs have cost me in the region of 600 credits each which seems to negate your theory above.

Some time ago the average cost of a SEC to me was circa 250 credits which may sort of agree with your theory but recent costs do not. Without other peoples experiences is difficult to say whether this is just my bad luck or a trend..

I have had some occasional very positive results from playing the games for the SECs but these are getting fewer and fewer. Justifying 600 credits for a SEC card is no longer an option and it is unlikely that I will be pursuing SECs via gambling games any longer. As long as they keep promos like the Advent Calendar (I love the Xmas outfits) I will participate as these type of promos seem much fairer for those with full collections.

@Wyldanimal Thanks for creating this amazing RandomShaders app.
i get some interesting renders by combining preset shaders in some of my
(C) RandomShader0x scenes provided they are the only scenes active during play.
A shader acting on a different shader which has been rendered as a sprite, or from a new texture derived from an open directory, is often quite inspiring to see.

The problem with doing all that comes from users having to selectively re-activate all their favorite scenes again after use. An irksome prospect no doubt with thousands of shaders because there may be lots of try-outs / failures / duplicates in peoples' /Shaders folder usually left un-activated.
Possible remedy, is to copy the marked favorites alone into a new folder and reset the app paths
in our (C) RandomShader scenes. It would be brilliant of Totem if watching a shader in the old 'working' folder, one could hot-key copy that shader over to the new favs folder. Might need 2 copies of RandomShaders.exe then available with different path settings for playing with that..(yikes ;-)

If it is desired, That the App Remeber the Last use Settings, and apply them on the Next Start?
I can add that to the Next Version
Question:
Should it remeber Scene Capture and the Capture rate?
So that the next time you start it, it will then automatically start the scene captures again?

• Remember the Last use Settings - Yes please 😊
• Remember scene Capture - Ok, as an option only. No automatic start of capturing process

or of visible path writing pls

I don't want to use the keyboard to reload the scene to see a new Shader.

I want to start the scene, and just have it cycle through the shaders automatically

That is the Idea of the PUSH scene change settings.
5 seconds is too quick... I want it to wait more than 5 seconds.

You can change the Setting of the timer for how often to pick a new Random shader.
and then you can check a check box to push a reload of the scene.

It defaults to 15 seconds between random Shaders.

What if I don't want them Randomized? I want to play them in Sequential Order.
There is a Check Box to change from Random to Sequential.

it is BEST to Click on the PAUSE button 1st
so you can change the settings...


NOTE: When the Push Scene Change is Active.
the FOCUS is taken from any app you are currently using
and Given to VGHD,exe
so That VGHD.exe is then the App that Receives the Change Scene command.
I can't tell VGHD.exe to relaod the Scene, unless it Has the FOCUS.

If you want to use a different app while the Random Shader app is running
Always PAUSE it 1st.

Where do I keep all of the Shaders?

I started to copy all of the Shaders in to a common Shader folder, stored on my remote NAS.
So Instead of having them All in the iStripper Data Scenes folder
I have them in a Network Share.

So How do I access them????
Well that is where the Custom Path idea came from.
Allow the App to use a different path than the one it starts in.

Many of the shared Scenes, use a Subfolder for the Shaders.
So instead of Manually coping all of the Shaders to this Newtwork share
I copy the subfolders.

And that is where the Use SubFolders came from.
So you can set a Custom Path to the Master Shaders folder, and the it will scan all of the Subfolders and make a complete list
of ALL of the shaders in ALL of the folders.

And then, I added the Save and Load methods.
so once you set up the custom folder Paths.
you can Save these, and load them the next time.

it is BEST to Click on the PAUSE button 1st
so you can change the settings...

Pls Note that people using the
RandomShaders.exe program may have some issues:
It is running immediately when you turn it on

To keep the newer Versions Backward compatible with the 1st version I released.

when you start the App,
it defaults to running.
The only thing it does, when started is to pick a random Shader from the Folder where the app is started from.
This is the reason that the App has to be extracted to your Shaders folder where all of the shaders are stored.


To Use any of the Newer Features:
You should click the PAUSE button 1st.

Then make any changes to the Other settings

If it is desired, That the App Remeber the Last use Settings, and apply them on the Next Start?
I can add that to the Next Version
Question:
Should it remeber Scene Capture and the Capture rate?
So that the next time you start it, it will then automatically start the scene captures again?

Why I created it:

There are so many good shaders that create amazing backgrounds.
To watch them all
I need to have 1000 or more Scenes in the scene folder.
very had to manage them all

Since MOST of these shaders needed no other inputs from the scene to work properly
I wanted a way to use just a Single Scene File to cycle through All of the Shaders.

So the 1st version was

• Start the App

( it changed to a new random shaders every 5 seconds )

• Play the Scene

then use the Keyboard Down Arrow to reload the scene see a new Random shader.

That is why the new version still start running in this basic mode,
Start the App
Play the scene.

I can watch and go through the 1000 plus Shaders, using a Single Scene in my Scenes folder.

@Number6

Yes, you are correct.
I had purchased that VR show when it was released.
And that is the Extra VR show in my Folder, that isn't on the web Page.

First if you have all or most of the shows there's is nothing left to win but credits and the targeted exclusive card so my guess is the system gives credits for any win (instead of shows).

You don't have to guess, there have been many posts confirming that that guess is correct - some of them from Totem team members and recently even in the description of the game that you get when clicking on its (i) icon and/or the initial announcement of he game by @Celine.

Also, at least when I was actively playing, my memory is that if you had all the SECs and then won one you would get a joker (which is a slightly better prize than a SEC).

Where is the icon to view my wishlist??

Go to the store and look for the tab / submenu that says 'Wishlist'

If you haven't marked any cards for your wishlist it will be empty. I now have to many cards I want to even bother with a wishlist so filled it with exclusive shows I'll probably never own ;)
