@JonC001

Thanks for that information! I have also a folder "...vghd\data\skins\basic\cards\watermarks" for the basic skin, and also 20 folders + 20 files in it. All the subfolders in "...vghd\data\skins\basic\cards\watermarks" have last edit date in Windows Explorer as May 17th 2023 (probably because I just switched to that) and all the 20 image files in that folder have last edit date as November 8th 2022.

Some of the 20 image files are named as *exclu.png, *star.png and *etoile.png. Those are the ones containing the star with iS or iS xxx -logos. Why the software doesn't use them for all SEC, I don't know...

EDIT: for what it's worth, I reverted back to 1.2.360 and the same issue remains (regardless of the skin I select, as I tested with a few). I don't know / remember if that issue was there before updating to the new beta. Maybe I had just missed that OR maybe it appeared because of the update... but why it only affects some of the SEC (and curiously just the first ones of the e- and f-series) and not all, is interesting.

Odd that installing the new version did not get back the missing files and folders.

Dfner, that may be a problem.
I cannot even use the new version. Still using 12376.

However, in my folder "C:\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\SexyGirls\data\skins\iStripper\basic\cards\watermarks", there are twenty folders and twenty files for a total of forty items.

note: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is not my real computer user name but replaces a folder that I created specifically for all files I get from the internet or create.

@Wyldanimal

I was using a skin called "Belka - Booty in Leather", but switching back to basic skin didn't correct the issue, even after quitting iStripper and starting again after that change. Also, that particular skin doesn't have watermarks sub-folder. The whole content of that skin folder is this:

• cards (folder that only includes file "hidden_cards.png")
• description.txt
• desktop.jpg
• img_left.jpg
• palette.txt
• skinThumbnail.png

@Dfner

Or it could be a custom Skin Issue.
What Skin are you using?
Does the Skin have a cards/watermarks subfolder?
this is where the Logo and Star Stickers come from.

omg!!!!!!!!!!!! this is so cool.👍😵😵😵

@Dfner

custom card images, do not get stickers such as the SEC star applied to them.It looks like you have some of your cards using a custom card image that already has the Logo on it.Actually, taking a 2nd look, all of your SEC cards look like it's a custom card image with the Logo and Star included as part of the card image, and not a sticker.your cards with a Star, the Star is shown to the right side at the top. ( a custom card image?)Where on a non-custom card image, Only the Star is applied to the top left of the card.

The strange thing is that there are no custom card images for any of my SEC. My only custom pictures in the ../vghd/data-directory are for deleted shows in my collection (***** O'Fee, Nikky Case...). All the SEC-cards have regular card image without the added layers of "iStripperXXX" / "iStripper" or the star-symbol, and they are named simply e1387.jpg, e1416.jpg (these two examples being the first e-series SEC in my collection missing the star-symbol).

I even named the card image on vghd/data/e1387-folder to "xe1387.jpg --> then closed and quit the software and opened it again --> synchronised with server. And still the card image shows as before even though it is named differently.

A few minutes later I noticed that e1387.jpg was downloaded to the above folder (so that there is now both e1387.jpg and xe1387.jpg). These cards are identical and in software it still shows without the star-symbol. The "new" e1387.jpg was therefore just downloaded from somewhere and it still has no effect on the issue.

Quite a head scratcher... But I think this is something not to get too stuck with. Whenever the new final version of the software is released, this probably is already fixed and if not, I'll bring it up again.

Je trouve dommage la disparition des carousels, c'était une belle façon de voir les modèles, qui malheureusement n'étaient plus mis à jour, sauf pour les nouveautés.

Oser virer le carroussel alors qu'IMO c'était la seule pièce qui apportait de la vie à l'interface et qui me rappelait la présentation des miss dans les maisons de tolérances.

P.S. Pas de mise à jour pour moi 👎😕

In my above message 'stropped' should be 'stopped'.

@Guillaume

Hi, can you please do the following: Install the new beta but don't launch it. Go into your data folder (by default, C:/Users/[your_user]/AppData/vghd/data) and find "vghd.log" and remove it. Launch iStripper. Wait for it to crash and note the exact time. Go into Windows "Event Viewer" and see if you can see anything related to iStripper at that time (most probably in the "Windows Logs => Applications" section). Send me (e.g. via Manue at the support or directly on discord if you're using it) your vghd.log, anything you may have noticed in the Windows Events Viewer, as well as the exact time the crash happened (please include your time zone with it) so I can take a look at it on our end.
Thank you very much

Thanks Guillaume

I've messaged you on discord with the logs etc from when it failed for me last night.

Bummer!

I downloaded and installed this beta version.
I get a "DesktopWare / Istripper has stropped working" message.
I tried this a few times and every time is the same.

Version 12376 still works for me.
Something has changed that makes i impossible for me to use this version. It may be totally incompatible with Windows 8.1

I will write about this and send screenshots in the discord beta thread.

@Dfner

I think it's a pity that the carousels disappeared, it was a nice way to see the models

I whole-heartedly agree,

I had always hoped that some day we would be able to define our own carousels - perhaps as a way of displaying the contents of a short playlist (or even a long one with girls getting on and off the carousel at its furthest point).

At times I used to use them as a kind of roulette game by holding down a left or right arrow key to make the carousel spin rapidly, releasing the key and then playing the card that came to the front.

Skins still work.

Not all of them.

They have changed something so that the colours defined in the Pallet.txt file are not the same.

I have at least one skin where the menu bar text is not visible because the background is not dark (but it is dark in the current non-beta version).

I am also having difficulty with some of the text in the forums in some skins.

Some still appear to work OK - but not all of them.

I need to work out what has changed but I don't have the time at the moment. Hopefully it will be fixed,

@pickle1

I just posted a screen cap of this issue on Discord:
https://discord.com/channels/709339443777110026/890605069324664863

@Dfner - can you find some way to screen print what you are seeing and send us a link to the print (or post it on Discord)?

I appreciate that the cards are larger in Models individual page, they look good, accept they have been defaced by the "In my collection" banner across all of them. Why can't the cards just be separated into 2 categories with "In my collection" only having to be mentioned once.

Is it possible for those who tried this version to still see (as in my version 1.2.360) what was the image behind our icon and the credits of my old version. (I think among others of the eyes of the girls of the PictureBoy skins?)

Skins still work.

Like @pickle1 all of my 32 SECs have their gold stars clearly visible.

Strange... I have synchronised with servers a couple of times, closed and quit the software, and still the same thing. I have 51 SEC and 9 of them have those stars in the corners. 42 of them look like regular cards.

Of course this is not important, just a curious thing the developers might want to know about. Probably will be corrected for me, too, later.

I haven't downloaded this new beta version. And I plan to wait, and don't know if I will. I'm not convinced of the real improvement of these changes.

I saw the video clips from @Wyldanimal.

But there was no skin showing on those clips.

Is it possible for those who tried this version to still see (as in my version 1.2.360) what was the image behind our icon and the credits of my old version. (I think among others of the eyes of the girls of the PictureBoy skins?)

I think it's a pity that the carousels disappeared, it was a nice way to see the models, which unfortunately were not updated anymore, except for the new ones.

It's also a shame not to see a 64bit version.


Je n'ai pas téléchargé cette nouvelle version beta. Et je compte attendre, et ne sais pas si je vais le faire. Je ne suis pas convaincu des réelles améliorations de ces changements.

J'ai vu les extraits vidéo de @Wyldanimal.

Mais il n'y avait pas de skin apparant sur ces extrraits.

Est-il possible pour ceux qui ont essayé cette version de voir encore (comme dans ma version 1.2.360) ce qu'il y avait comme image derrière notre icône et les crédits de mon ancienne version. (Je pense entres autres aux yeux des filles des skins de PictureBoy ?)

Je trouve dommage la disparition des carousels, c'était une belle façon de voir les modèles, qui malheureusement n'étaient plus mis à jour, sauf pour les nouveautés.

Dommage aussi de ne pas voir une version 64bit.

Like @pickle1 all of my 32 SECs have their gold stars clearly visible.

One ***** thing I noticed with beta: I have all special event cards but (under "My Collection" and "Special Event Cards") most of them don't have the "star indicator" signifying that they are SEC. I have SEC sorted by card number, and only the first three e-series cards have the star (e0863...e1321) and only the first six f-series cards (f0406...f0567).

@Dfner - I have just been looking through my collection where my SECs and cards are sorted by date of purchase - and I have checked the first (newest) 15 SECs down to Tatiana Coco and all of those have the star showing on them in My Collection. I haven't checked the rest yet - it is a bit of a slog

Curious.....😉

Support by Microsoft for Windows 7 ended in January 2020.

It is just not economically viable for companies like Totem to continue to provide versions that can run on such outdated software.

I won't upgrade my system just because Totem decided Windows 7 is too outdated for their product. I have too many softwares I still need to use that won't work in Windows 10. So for me there's only 1 solution, iStripper v1.2.378 will be my last version until it stops working with Totem's system. After that "Bye Bye Totem.

I wouldn't be surprise that half of iStripper members run on "outdated systems" such as Windows 7 or 8.

I have been on the beta for some time and I switch almost daily because there is a feature of the new version that makes it difficult for me to QA the upcoming shows so I flick back to 378 to do my QA work 😉

I think that's a fair price to pay for the privilege to see all future cards earlier than the rest of us 😜 👍

So far I've enjoyed all these changes, they're great!

One request, if possible: I was hoping with this improved UI that I would be able to tell which cards I currently have downloaded or not, when I'm on a girl's page (the one where you see all of their cards). It shows what's in your collection, what's not in your collection, and what's coming soon; just like the non-beta version. However, if would be nice if it were possible to tell which ones are in your collection and downloaded, or not downloaded. Maybe by the color of the tag?

Anyway, again this is great, thank you.

@Dfner - it doesn't take much to switch - apart from waiting and occasionally having to restart the PC to make it complete 😊

@Wyldanimal

Thank you very much! This is very useful information. I did as instructed and now have two bin folders and beta running nicely. Probably won't need the reverting back to 1.2.360 but nice to know that there is an easy option for it available.

With my dark personal skin, some texts are not visible. The palette seems to have changed a bit.

I hope this is going to be fixed. It doesn't affect all of my skins so I am not sure exactly what they have changed.

I don't want to go through dozens of skins (assuming I can actually find what they have changed) and fix them only to have them revert it back again.😰

Long time since I published a scene. Wrote this long time ago, so I'd probably go about it differently if I did it again but... here we go :

Was planning to change the background for a more detailed one at some point but don't seem to have much spare time at the moment.

The carousel has gone too. No more giant pictures now 😉

This new version is still a 32bit software, so no management of the RAM above 4GB 😪

When I click on Feedback, my browser (Firefox) is opening on a blank page with "iStripper 2 Beta feedback" in the center. No place to write something.

@Dfner

Easy to Revert.
Quit iStripper.
Make a copy of the Current BIN folder and call it BIN12360
So you now have a BIN folder and a BIN12360 folder.
Both are all the same files.

Now Install the Beta, it will overwrite the Current BIN folder..

Test, Test Test the new beta..

When you want to revert

Quit iStripper
rename the current BIN folder to BIN12510
then rename BIN12360 to BIN

You can now swap back and forth between the two versions
in a Matter of Seconds.

I have Many Versions installed this way.
I just rename the folders as I test them.

This is a small sample of the versions I can Swap back and forth too.

The beta is not working for me at all. 😭
I can see in Task Manager that the process starts, but it crashes and ends pretty much immediately.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that it's because I'm still on Windows 8.1? 😎
(Yeah, yeah.. I know.. I'm a dinosaur😛, but my pc won't support Win10 and I'm taking my time to buy a replacement - indecision is a terrible thing!)

Had to revert to an old version, then update in the settings page to the latest version, so I'm back to 1.2.378.

Can anyone confirm the system requirements for the new beta, please?

Same for me except I'm on windows 7

Looking good judging by Wyldanimal's video! I especially like that the card size for "other cards by same model" is not microscopic anymore.

I would like to test this myself, but I would also like to be able to easily revert back to the version I'm using (1.2.360), just in case. The thing is that I can't find my installation file for that version anywhere anymore... I must have deleted it at some point. I know there's later finished version available, but since I have had no problems whatsoever with 1.2.360 I'd like to revert to that if need be. Is the installation file for that version downloadable somewhere?

When I click the feedback button the drop down menu closes and nothing else happens. All other buttons work and I have a file "application.cds". The app doesn't crash.

Love the new design! 😊

Hopefully one of the next improvements will be the ability to filter out the various clip types, like turning off the swing clips without having to go into every single show and de-selecting them individually. That can't possibly be that hard. You already do it for the hotness level.

First of all I agree the slider for card size is important. As someone who works in accessibility in games, players with different needs need to have fine control over that. Also the color choices (red and green) over dark grey is a poor choice for people with protanopia (most common colorblindness). There is more stuff on that aspect that requires considerations, like text sizes for headers, links and more, but I'll leave it as is for now. Let me know if you want to know more.

On another topic it would be better to have ways to sort and filter the main screen content. Personally the feature banner is too big and it makes more sense to have the newest cards as the first category, not the most popular.

In genera; I would say that it works well. I did notice some graphics artifacts by my systray. I then went full screen and came back. The artifacts are gone. I'll try to screen capture if I see it again.

Regarding my previous post regarding the resizing button on the Featured page

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/52963/2?post=763770

It now, I am happy to say, is very visible. I do not know if this was due to a deliberate change or if I was initially ***** from a glitch that made it hard to see. If it was the former then thank you for the rapid reaction.

Ça beta test à fond 😎

Regarding 1080p 60 screen resolution = I can confirm that unlike the none-beta version, When going full screen HDR 1080p , the Beta program supports the HDR function, with 60 FPS. Unlike the normal program which turns off HDR (4k is still not supported.

• This might be just my screen that has the problem, maybe in other screens and other windows versions, it works with 4k?

A ***** thing.The resizing button at the bottom left of the top scrolling area of the Featured page is difficult to see and therefore easily overlooked - I only found it by accident when I was surprised that this area suddenly and unexpectedly changed its size and it took me quite some time to find out how to shrink it again.

A clarification regarding my previous post

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/52963/2?post=763764

when I said "we then have to scroll through several screens" I was using "screens" loosely - I really meant "windowfulls". Not everybody uses the GUI at its maximum size, especially when trying to do something systematic with a set of cards that involves using a second program at the same time. It is easier to work with two windows open side by side than to keep on bringing one and then the other to the front of the window stack - especially when you are trying to compare data in one window with that in another.
