@DippedInGold
Not in the software but on the site of the user @lukaszr here https://www.isworkshop.eu/showroom

Just curious if there is somewhere I can view when a special event card will be coming out.

Humm,
It's been quite a satisfying journey..
I went back to the beginning and re-read many of the posts.

it Started a little before this Post.. But this was the Beginning of the Scenes as we know them..
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/21580/1?post=342285

I had dove in to the prior Screen Saver offerings and figured out how to customize
the existing offerings by making up my own set of assets and packaging them up.

When REX introduced this New Strip Club concept.
I didn't want to lose my Ability to customize the Screen Savers.

Totem not only accommodated my input, but went above what was previously possible.

And the rest began here
The 1st Release of the NEW FullScreen Scenes
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/27389/1?post=427152
Man, I couldn't wait to Dive in a Figure out how it all worked...
So I did, and I made my 1st Scenes and Made notes
and in a matter of hours I wrote a Tutorial
and then shared what I learned through trial and error

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/27410/1?post=427679

Some Crazy suggestions: wish we got these...

It's just nice to look back and see a community that creates and shares and inspires others...

Keep Creating, Keep Sharing, Keep Inspiring others to join the Journey!.

From the reload page:

"RELOAD BONUS! UP TO 220 FREE CREDITS AT EACH RELOAD"

but no 1100 credits packages available....

Technically
you can use the same pos:
for both the Clipname Sprite, and the Mask
and just adjust the hotspot: values

This would give you course adjustment control

Then make fine adjustments a few pixels at a time by changing the pos: values.
You can use this as a reference for the hot spot.

Is it possible to calculate the size from the bottom up

If you specify a hotspot for the clipNameSprite (or anything else) then that is the point in the object that is put at the position specified by the accompanying pos: clause. The default hotSpot for clipNameSprites is 0.5,0.5 - i.e the centre of the sprite.

Specifying "hotspot: 0.5, 0.0" will put the hotspot in the middle of the object's base. Do this with a clipnameSprite and all the text will be above that point (assuming that you have not rotated it).

As with any other object in the scene you can either explicitly specify a size: clause or let it take its default size. But in either case you will not know just how much of the object you will have to cut off in order to hide the name of the card - but with a bit of trial and error it should not be difficult to find something that works (but be sure to test with Duo cards as well as the more common solo performer cards)

If, for example, you find that cutting off the bottom fifth of the clipNameSprite would work you might consider using "hotspot: 0.5,0.2" to place the hotspot at the top of the part you want to obscure, you can then position the clipNameSprite at the top of (but behind) the top of whatever you use to mask it.

🔥🔥🔥!

Can I buy one of these cards from someone who own it without crypto?

the short answer is No.
to transfer the NFT from one entity to another entity there has to be an exchange on the blockchain to validate the transfer of ownership.

1) you need a crypto wallet set up on the polygon network
2) you need to link your wallet to iStripper so that iStripper can validate that you become the owner of the card.
3) you'd have to fund your wallet with enough crypto to complete the exchange plus pay the GAS fees
4) you need to use crypto to complete the transfer of ownership on the blockchain.

Hi! Please re-upload older shows from @Carstrip. The links to them no longer work.

This may sound like a stupid question but bear with me. Can I buy one of these cards from someone who own it without crypto?

It was too good to last

@EverthangForever

its all just a masking..

Yep 👍 Of course - and I used it extensively in the past. Except, just thinking.... my scene won't match as it now has a random element.

@TheEmu
Is it possible to calculate the size from the bottom up - if the bottom is consistent ?

@Nebal and @Dorsai

Thanks for confirming what I already expected.

@Calgon - separating out the parts of the clipNameSprite would not be quite as simple as it sounds as some contain three lines of text while most have only two. The same holds for the use of a mask.

That is not to say that it would be difficult, only that it is a little bit more complicated than it might first appear. At the very least if you have something that seems to work you should test it with a Duo card's clipNameSprite.

Also, Totem have at least once changed the font used for clipNameSprites and if it changes again this might invalidate any method that currently works.

@aljey

One item at a time.

No, I don't know how to read the preference file actually.

OK. Here's how I do it. There may be other ways.

1. In Finder, old down the option key and open the Go menu. You will see a menu choice "Library." That choice only appears when the option key is down. Select it. This will open the Library folder as a window on your Mac.

2. In the Library folder you will find a Preferences Folder. Open that.

3. In the Preferences Folder you will find com.totem.Vghd.plist . Open that. This will probably cause your Mac to install the Apple XCode package. This is a free development library that includes a plist reader. It may take a few minutes to install XCode and you will probably have to give permission more than once. You may have to open com.totem.Vghd.plist a second time after XCode is installed.

4. Once Xcode is open you will see a window showing the contents of com.totem.Vghd.plist. There are lots of interesting items there. Scroll or use the Find command to find system.ModelsPath This is the path iStripper will use to find your models folders. Note that this is a UNIX path name using /, not a Mac path name using :. iStripper allows more than one, but I only use a single path and I don't know what a multi-path entry looks like. You can edit and save this, but see below. NOTE: Some of the key's shown have no effect on the Mac.

The article on nethack.ch referred to above does not seem to be about iStripper specifically, is it?

No, it's about the way the Mac OS manages preference file data. I just read that article. I've never seen it before and it explains some things I discovered on my own.

Originally, the preference file contained live data. If you change data in the preference file it had an immediate effect on the application using that data.

At some point, probably for performance reasons, Apple changed things. Applications now copy the preference data into a cache and work with what's in the cache not what's in the file itself. This means that changes to the preference file are ignored by the running application. However, there are AppleScript changes that will update both the data in the file and in the cache. I've used them, but sometimes the results are surprising and sometimes they have no effect.

I later discovered that the cache data is not flushed when an application quits. If the application is reopened and the cached data is still present the application may ignore the preference file.

The iStripper application will update its preference file when the application closes, but never before that.

So, I only revise the iStripper preference file when iStripper is not running at all. That means QUIT iStripper as your first step. Closing the window is not enough. Once I have saved my changes to the iStripper preference file, I reboot my Mac. I do this because, in the past, I discovered the cached data overrode my preference file changes. This may no longer be necessary, but I always reboot just to be safe.

@Wyldanimal and @Nebal

I believe that all applications since OS 10.13, Mojave must be 64 bit. I found the following at https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12012017a

64-bit Requirement for Mac Apps
December 1, 2017
As a reminder, new apps submitted to the Mac App Store must support 64-bit starting January 2018, and Mac app updates and existing apps must support 64-bit starting June 2018. If you distribute your apps outside the Mac App Store, we highly recommend distributing 64-bit binaries to make sure your users can continue to run your apps on future versions of macOS. The last macOS release to support 32-bit apps without compromise is macOS High Sierra.


I hope this helps. I'm happy to answer questions or provide more details if needed.

@Calgon , No need to write a shader..its all just a masking..
In FG024 I did it by deliberately positioning/hiding the part
of the name/title I did not want to see in each location

For scenes using shader backgrounds like in FG448 , same deal. You can just position
& render a small masking sprite ( like 'Torusadj' ) using the same shader
as the background uses , over the part of the name/title you don't want to see.

Me again ;)

Has anyone written a shader that separates the model name from the scene name in the clipNameSprite ? Sure I saw one somewhere.

Doh! 😄

😄 👍 😍

You will never have dreamed so much of getting ill...

@Wyldanimal Don't mean to pry into your conversation with @Dorsai
I'm on a Mac, Catalina OS version 10.15.7

My Istripper App says Version 1.2.377/ 64 bits / Qt5.9.9

Just updated, so far so good. Don't have to put in a username or password

@Dorsai6

Question for you.
On Windows, the iStripper app is still 32 bit.

What about the App for Mac OS
is it now 64 Bit, or is it still a 32 Bit App?

I don't have access to a Machine running Mac OS
so I have no way to tell.

@aljey pls read my PM

@TheEmu has written a book in the best possible way. As commented shaders in his website
http://www.theemusnest.eu

Thanks @TheEmu

You should write us a book ! The notes on here and those you have left in many of your scenes are always very helpful.

@Dorsai6
No, I don't know how to read the preference file actually.
The article on nethack.ch referred to above does not seem to be about iStripper specifically, is it?
And I didn't really understand it anyway.

Whoops, it looks like it got added to the mobile site by mistake. It's gone now, like yesterday's snows. 💔

Just needed to add this:

#define texture2D texture2D_Fract

(Whatever that is)

That is a pre-processor directive that defines a simple text macro substitution.

It causes any use of the name "texture2D" that is encountered later in the source fle to be replaced by "texture2D_Fract"

texture2D_Fract is a locally defined function that is used as a wrapper around the standard GLSL function "texture" that uses only the fractional parts of the position coordinates, P, passed to it to identify which point is being sampled.

The result of the standard GLSL function texture() is only defined when both coordinates are in the range 0.0 to 1.0 (actually I think the condition might be greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0 which would exclude 1.0 from the valid range). How the function behaves when fed values outside of this range is implementation dependant, some clamp the values so that any out of range value is treated as either 0,0 or 1.0 while others discard the integer part of the value and just use the fractional part. Using texture2D_Fract either directly or via texture2D macro ensures that the second of these variations is used. This means that "wrap around" semantics are used for out of range values.


Some history. The texture2D() function is an old, deprecated, part of the GLSL language having been superceded by the newer texture() function. By defining a macro near the start of the shader source file we can effectively replace all uses of the deprecated function with the newer function without having to edit the body of the shader. At the same time this macro also eliminates the ambiguity as to what happens if the function is passed an out of range value for the texel position (I can say this with certainty as I was the person who introduced this way of using macros to adapt shadertoy shaders for iStripper - for example on my system the texture() function clamps the position coordinates but quite a few of the shadertoy shaders assumed wrapping semantics)

Nice going 😊

OMG ! It works

Thanks @Everthang - what a slog that was.

Just needed to add this:

#define texture2D texture2D_Fract

(Whatever that is)

in the shader preamble use

vec4 texture2D_Fract(sampler2D sampler,vec2 P) {return texture2D(sampler,fract(P));}
vec4 texture2D_Fract(sampler2D sampler,vec2 P, float Bias) {return texture2D(sampler,fract(P),Bias);}
#define texture2D texture2D_Fract

and in the rest of the code replace all use of 'texture' with 'texture2D'
its an OpenGL thang

@EverthangForever
😕 Could you be a bit more explicit please ?

In the .fsh need to change your use of 'texture' to 'texture2D'

Made some progress at last. I found after too many hours of hacking stuff around that this:

uniform sampler2D texture0; //Random Surfaces
uniform sampler2D texture1; //Random Greys

needs to be "texture" and not "iChannel"

With that, I was able to use texture1 to create a random starting number BUT it has screwed up the texture on texture0 in the scene.

If you load up the attached scene...
http://bit.ly/3XVcSZC

You will find 2 versions adapted from ET431. In the RandomCave version, the "cave" that is shown is different every time i.e the random number is being generated but the textures are all messed up.

There's a second NonRandom version to see what the textures should look like but in this version the shape of the cave is always the same.

If anyone knows if/how I can fix these textures .... 👍

Beautiful model with such lovely hair and a perfect body, but not to my liking because so much tats.

@aljey

That does sound like a preference file problem. It seems you know how to read the preference file since you checked it. It is possible that Apple has added new security features and the "real" preference file is no longer in the Preferences folder. I'm still on Monterey, so I can't be sure. When you checked the preference file did the system.ModelsPath parameter have the correct path name? Was it one value or multiple values? Does Finder show that the preferences file was recently updated?

This is true. Which is why I had to correct mine. 👍 😎

For example, in Account History I have the first card "Niemira / Stress Relief".
But in My Collection is "Niemira / Pleasant Dreams" the first card.

I'm sorry, but after you buy two or more cards in the same time or close enough, you will have the cards arranged by numbers or even by names.
If you choose to display by the Date of purchase, it is not so accurate. Trust me! All the time I bought and looked after it in my collection.

i've been waiting on this show.

She is my new love! 🔥🔞💖

@Dorsai6
I'm on Ventura 13.1
My issue is exactly as described in the original post.
I installed iStripper on a clean system, logged in, changed the settings.
Everything seemed to work, until the app crashed and I was ***** to log in again and all of my settings were gone.
I thought that maybe they were not saved because the app didn't exit cleanly, which didn't turn out to be the case.
I don't mind logging in every time, but it simply ***** me that it starts to automatically download shows to a disk that has almost no available space on it, because it forgot that I have configured it to download to a different one :)

I also enjoy watching her. Beautiful girl
I couldn't agree more with @trov

Eva Elle has a Splendid slim body! Definitely enjoy her first card. I highly recommend 🔥!

@aljey

That was an old problem with the Catalina OS 10.15. I'm currently using Monterey OS 12.6.2. The latest OS is Ventura OS 13. I don't plan to install Ventura for another 2-3 months.

What is your problem? I can probably help. Which OS are you using? If you have a problem with the Totem preferences file, I have a lot of experience. However, Apple has been tightening up security and some of the rules have changed.
