it's UI interface improvements, instead of text in mid of the screen you got graphical icons on the left side of the screen with tooltips and i added music and added 3 new actions in get rid of her option and 2 new actions in xenophily sex option,
the current version have graphical icons at home only, the next update i will be outside home, also im improving the game bg by replacing not fitting or bad looking ones like for example the accessories bg,

Jack Scourge - Prospects of development
This post I do mainly for themselves, to sort through the available tasks. But since many people, especially those who have not read the earlier posts, it will also be interesting, I do not write in their technical documents and here.
Thus, the development of the EP can now be divided into three areas. Immediately say, that these directions each other in any case do not exclude, on the contrary, they are interconnected. However, it is necessary to build the order of priorities. Accordingly, it appears that the earlier something later.
The first direction - technical refinement existing database:
Dopilivanie features are made of ready-made algorithms;
The new pictures and sounds, as well as editing of what looks and sounds kosyachny;
More educability;
Rebuilding database educability so that you can relatively easy to do his personal assembly and connect the new options;
The introduction of schemes for exotic slaves;
Translation into English (first interface, then perhaps entirely);
Completion mechanics saves to avoid chitni save-load;
Edit text, edit bugs.
No.4436
>>4435
The second trend - the economic component of the game, namely:
New ways of getting educability: Task order to study for her master's slave, the cultivation of new time in a curved sickle technosphere houses, picking up "draws" the girls on the street, catching them on the boundary of the nebula, the expedition to other worlds (the latter two options are very tightly tied to the role branch).
Proper marketing of educability: execution of the order, fixed prices guild, release likivdatsiya, renting a butcher, selling to customers specific to individual preferences;
Service customization educability: make-up, tattoos, piercings, plastic surgery, corporal modification. Here are the lessons to teach in schools or with an invitation to the coach house for educability and for the hero;
Inventory of characters, with different subjects affecting different aspects. For example gifts that improve mood, things giving bonuses to the characteristics or actions that establish the rules of automatic success (= ban from the gag, and so on. N.), Disposable consumables, weapons and armor for the combat system;
Rental housing in the territories of the various Great House or in the Papal Zone. The quality of housing and security depend on the location of the quarter. Price and availability of the nature of the relationship with the House. A larger number of premises provides more opportunities but more expensive cost to rent. (For information on the current version you play as if you bought all the possible areas other than the boudoir in the future will not be so easy} ->);
The situation of housing and home equipment: functional items such as torture machines, musical instruments, laboratory equipment and so on. N., Embellishment to enhance the quality of life and comfort, character, objects of fear to better subjugate educability (eg stuffed the girl who was naughty), pets animals with different features;
Entertainment for the hero in the city, the opportunity to spend money to raise his mood, prestige and outer well-being;
Sources of income and prestige associated with the activities of educability. Here I would like to avoid the banal works in SM. Most speeches, participation in competitions and contests, including races and gladiatorial combat different formats (fist fight, fight with weapons, bullying beasts). But the latter option is again strongly tied to role-branch;
Practical application of skills slave who is useless and rethinking those who are already working. While plans to alchemy as a source of disposable items, the developed system of cooking. And in either case, we will need different ingredients and the method of their production. Skill tying workflow management of household assets through assistant; (Avtopriobretenie products, discounts on rent and optimization of taxation);
Own businesses, such as a brothel or a dairy farm. We must remember that it is illegal for a member of the guild slavers, since the guild division of business in the city can only keep it representative of the department (to think);
And the third direction of the game, it's shareware "role" is:
Leveling indicators hero, including the prestige stigma, welfare, relations with Great Houses and individual characters, and so on. N
No.4437
>>4436
.;
The combat system. Under this deal, there is one on the engine side is ready QSP, but will have a lot of work file. I want to group battles, not only had a few enemies at the same time but also toward the hero could fight several characters;
Magic goes beyond the battlefield;
Options dialogue, torture and sex in the form of mini-games. The first sex, the rest for the long term;
Check the city organizations and individuals with whom it will be necessary to build relationships and conduct business. The first sources of sales slaves;
All kinds of casual and not entirely random events designed to enhance the learning educability, the life of the hero and his communication with the outside world;
Quests and Adventures. Primarily standard and repeatable, such as border patrols and expeditions in the mists outer worlds. Then, the problem associated with increased relationships with the characters, organizations. The ability to get into the showdown houses;
The system "achivok" (achievements) giving certain minor bonuses and opportunities. Perhaps the story advances and achievements, ending;
Very promising option when at certain moments we play for the other characters are in our sphere of influence. For example: an attack on a house in the absence of the hero - Play fight for the assistant, gladiatorial combat for the exposed contact Woman may expedition fog on behalf of our mercenary. But then we must also think;
The order in which I will realize all this is not clear, try to isolate the features intersecting groups and start with those that are most interesting and are ready for implementation.
By publishing versions prospect looks like. At any given time there will be three versions of the game:
Stable, well-broken-in version in which I do not plan to edit bugs. The stable version will have a numerical designation starts with the even numbers after the decimal point (for example, the nearest stable will go under the number 0.2hh). Now is not stable, it will appear as soon as the Heisenberg will finish editing of the text (or I'll find another literary editor);
Unstable generally ready to play with the new features done to the present moment, but requires finding and editing bugs (this is what I referred to the "open beta"). This will go at odd numbers after the first point (the current 0.1hh). New unstable version waiting in the best case for the new year. I emphasize: at best, so I recommend not to pull me once again;
Working version, then I Peel particularly at the moment. It would not be published but will probably attract people tested for initial testing ("alpha / beta closed").
Suggestions and I will consider your wishes, but as you can see the plans so hulk, so your feature needs to be a super-genius that I took for it first of all has the above. Help in the work I'm willing to take, and I will be glad, but it should be something that you can do quite independently without my constant guidance, providing only the finished result. On a tight coordination of the working group I have neither the time nor the strength nor the desire.

Hi anonymous with the loading problem.
It sounds very weird what you are experiencing, and I wonder if it is a problem with my modded engine that is causing it.
I need some more detail to help debug it.
You say the game crashes when you try to load a game as soon as day two.
What do you mean by crashes? Does the program completely shut down or does nothing happen?
Can you save a game at day one, and load that game successfully?
Can you load the game with the "Ignore version check when loading" option ticked on?
If you load on old jack.qsp version (say Merged Mod 1.9), with the _new_ version of the engine, does loading work as it should?
Do you have the "json" folder with slave files, in the game directory, of the version you are experiencing problems with?
No.4491
>>4490
It's more of a permanent freeze than a crash. When I try to load a save it will stay on the screen I was on when I loaded but none of the buttons will work. Music will still play if it was before. Clicking within the screen will make it fade and say not responding at the top (pic related) http://puu.sh/hQy9J/d0b4028332.jpg . It will stay like this forever until I close it.
Also worth noting is it only breaks after certain (very crucial) actions are taken. For example if I start a new game and just pass days in the slums or wander around districts I can load later. But if i buy a house, obtain a slave or get Isabella it becomes unloadable.

i remember some people had problems with the game cause it was on there desktop or it was in a very deep hidden location like D:\ (insert over 10 locations) \jack1-2-1\Jack-o-nine-tails\, so have you tried moving the game from it's current location ?

Yeah that got me to the old main menu screen from merged mods. The ui mod content didn't show up when I started a new game from there though and I couldn't load old saves. Didn't crash when I tried though.

It should not do anything, but could you try to delete it.
So there are no spaces anywhere in path to the game directory.

I am quite certain that it is not because of 32/64bit thing. But to be absolutely sure, could you try to compile the engine yourself?
It is not that difficult.
1. Download Qt:
http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.1/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_64-5.4.1.exe
2. Install it.
3. Download engine source:
https://github.com/ItalianSunglassMovie/FastQSP/archive/master.zip
4. Unpack source
5. Open FastQSP.pro with QtCreator
6. Press configure
7. Build -> Run menu item.
Thats it.
Then try to load the problematic qsp file.
No.4505
Just remembered:
If it doesn't work, there are an other advantage to compiling it yourself.
When running the executable from QtCreator, you can pause the application when it freezes and see what it is trying to do. Then it will most likely be possible for me to fix the problem.
No.4511

I'm stuck on the configuring part. An internet search told me I can find it in the projects pane and I see add kits which includes compilers but there are variables I need to set and none of them seem to work.

Hi powerairmax,
Now I have just finished a beta where the activities menu is completely rewritten.
I have changed quite a bit of stuff - it is not perfect - but it has become much cleaner.
There are several advantages.
I have moved all CSS out and put it in a stylesheet.css file under content.
Now one can change styles, and just reload a game, then styles will be applied. Yay :-)
Menu item icons have now been defined in JSON. There are a new file called menu.json where the picture paths have been defined.
It has a not-so-pretty way to index the items - it will probably be changed in the future, but requires an engine update. But the change will not affect QSP code, so you can easily copy the way it works to other menus, and not be afraid of an other rewrite.
It should be much easier to create menus and understand them. But it is still a work in progress.
But check it out and tell me what you think.
I think the main menu has moved down, when I extracted the CSS, and maybe there are small differences around. But don't think it's that bad.
There are also an updated engine in the pack.
Oh, and I have started to rename pictures in Ui overhall, to have no spaces and large characters.
Did it by hand, but I should just have used a tool.
Here is the link: https://mega.co.nz/#!AYgzXABQ!NfrO-kJ6XDxSekJRVmFmIEOY_21lLAtDLm4knWeTXL4
And now I need some fresh air and to relax my brain a bit.
It is incredible how much you have made with the menus.
I am completely overwhelmed by the amount of code.

No.4519
>>4511
Hi sorry I have busy with the menu rewrite.
You can check the new build to see if it miraculously makes a difference.
Don't think it will though.
I will be back later with a comment about the Qt kits. I thought it would provide and select a default kit, but apparently not. Maybe try the online installer or the mingw version in the meantime. Settings up kits manually can be a little complicated if you don't know how. But basically it is to chose a Qt version and compiler, to a kit. And apply that kit to the project. It will ask what kit to use, when opening a project for the first time.
Or when the .user file is deleted.

Yeah, I would also like it smaller - I have thought a lot about it, and it is the best I can come up with right now.
There are so many trade offs - there are really a lot of balancing in the design.
The language is very limiting. I have tried so many different ways.
And so many time - NO, you can't do that, because it is not supported in QSP.
It's tough.
Maybe you are right about the clicking. Thought that it maybe could be visual in a way.
If you click the girl icon there are partially black borders on each side on that screen.
Maybe the same could be applied to the main menu.
I think it could work.

Hehe, I had downloaded MEGA browser extension and changed the download path.
Had completely forgot about it. No problem with either download.
And yes, I have hardcoded the path to the CSS. And the menu.json is required now.
Awwwww.. You have updated almost all your code, with the new CSS code.
Well I still think it is fundamentally broken. I am Sorry :-(
There are way to much code duplication, and the constants are hardcoded.
It it also not structured well enough.
I have completely changed the design to be able to remove the hardcoded constants, and avoid as much code duplication as possible. There will be fewer in bugs in my code, it will be easier to read, and it will be easier to maintain.
But it will take a bit time to see the real advantages. Try to read my code and understand how it works. It will not be completely obvious at once. Also look at the menu.json.
So while what you have done is better than before, I think you should bite in the sour apple, and rewrite it. It is not fun I know. But I promise it will be worth it.

i have looked into what you'v done so far and i see a window of advantage, well not completely yet but i can where this going but it just looks like a ton of work assuming we gonna reuse the old ids that i removed but i like how the new structure looks, kinda, anyway im afraid that i will have hold off my hands on the whole thing for about 3 to 4 weeks cuz IRL is a bitch, but i will come back to this and hopefully we can get some work done
No.4534
I just realized a smart thing with your menu_form_x.
I kind of do the same with my menu_item_x, but maybe it should be converted to the way you do it. Maybe a fusion will be the best :-)
I also have a lot of IRL issues I have been neglecting. Have 2 very important examinations, that I am not prepared for at all, and LOT of other stuff. This project is actually just me procrastinating things :-/ I am really good at that.
In about 4 weeks from now, things should hopefully be settling for me also.
I know it is a lot of work to rewrite. And maybe we should just postpone the hole thing. No hurry.
I just wanted an other update with the slave definition, while I have the hole system in my head, before I take a break from Jack.
We'll see what happens.
But I am off for tonight. Will be having a glass of wine, some food and watch TV.
Good wind and weather to you :-)

The game works fine until the blue text pops up, such the game in sandbox mode telling you that don't have enough points or when in game you click on the slave ranking and the blue text will pop up telling you what you need to do to improve them but it freezes the game and I can't do anything.
No.4537
>>4534
interesting i wonder what you have in mind for the menu_form_x cuz really that helped me alot, one change in one id of the menu_form_x applies the changes to 30% of whole codes it's so useful, if we can make a fusion of both ideas that might make matters alot easier, also by rewriting you mean take the menu_from location and reshape it in the json ?
btw i wont be absent the whole 3 weeks i will be having 2 days free each week or maybe 3 days i donno yet but i will try to stay active as possible but i don't want waste alot of time on the menu_form location cuz i still have other locations to modify for example city_menu_from and #options and more
>>4535
the thing about the points is that you have limited amount of points to use for the master skills, you can't just max everything and go in it would ruin the meaning of progressing in the game, also when you click on slave ranking and msg pop up telling you what you need to do, there should be a small green check icon at the center bottom of the popup msg you click on to close the msg and continue

No.4547
Not much on my mind right now - I will have to read more code to give an answer.
I don't have the full picture on how your code works, and what would be good to keep and what to replace.
I think that some of my code needs to be restructured, but will have to look at it with a fresh mind - I am too tired today, and not in the mood for coding, so I will return to the question at a later time.
If you have some suggestions, please just bring it forth, then we can discuss it (tomorrow maybe :-)).
No.4548
>>4547
im just waiting on your final toning to the formula and i would begin the work
No.4549
Sounds great.
The thing I am not sure about, is mostly if the model scales well to all menus in the game. I didn't design it with that framework in mind.
And if a massive rewrite is going to take place, it would be wise to keep a consistent structure throughout the game.
And we really have to be careful to take everything into account.
This code I presented was meant as suggestion, and to give an early access to my thoughts. I only worked on it for one day and one evening.
It should be pretty good for the menus with icons though.
But I would not advise stating to work on a rewrite. I am not confident enough, to be sure I haven't missed something important, and if it is general enough. I would also like a bit more elegant. It still doesn't feel completely right.

No.4566
you know im wondering what's the big benefit of rewriting the whole thing ? the old one wasn't causing much of problems so what's the advantage ?
im only asking cause im racing time here and every minute im waiting feels wasted, it could be used putting some codes and the idea of rewriting the menu to make it do the exact same thing the old menu was doing isn't really encouraging
so please lets not make the waiting last long,
i really hate waiting, it's the worst for me
No.4577
Sorry to keep you waiting. Needed to do some other things.
The reason I looked at code in the first place, was to make texts as well as icons click-able.
To make that simple change you literally had to change code at least 100 places.
Then I saw that if you would make one little change some other place, say move the menu 10 px down, then you would have to change the position of each individual element.
If you wanted to change an icon, then you had to change 2 places - and just changing one icon, would invalidate peoples save games.
Each time you would add an extra item, lots of extra CSS would need to be added.
And changes to CSS would again invalidate save games.
To make the menu item links to blocks you would again had to change the code 100s of places.
And on and on and on… It just kept continuing. One little change, oh, change 10 other things.
And there are so, so much code, and the code is a mess - there are hardly any structure.
Again and again I see fundamental design flaws all over. And LOTS of copy pasting
And what are the chances to make a mistake or forget something? Very high.
When you haven't looked at the code for a long time, and have to get back at understanding it, how long will it take? Very long.
When it is not fresh in your mind, how much time do you use to find the right place to change? Probably too much time.
Will the current code-base grow and grow, with added features? Very much so.
Will there be a high learning-curve to new modders? Indeed.
In short, one little change would result in a cascading amount of work. That is a sure way to kill an application, because at some point, it can't be changed any more. Changing this, would break that, and changing changing that, would break this. It will be inflexible and then your stuck.
So I have started to clean up and refactor that area of the code, trying to also take future modding into account. Otherwise the game will be an even greater mess.
I don't think the time is to add new features at all. It is time to refactor.
And a lot of what I have done with the engine is trying to make decent refactoring possible.
Well, that's enough ranting :-) But thats what went through my mind when you asked what the benefit of rewriting it was.
And I think it is very important that it is done properly and not rushed.
I have just looked at my code. And it is definitely _not_ good enough. It needs to be rewritten and looked at several times, before applied elsewhere.
If you don't understand my code, and am in hurry to get things done, then I don't think you should waste time on it. It will be better if you work on your own version then I think, or some other area of the game.
Lots of places need clean up.
I will use most of today to code on it, but I can't guarantee any results. And time is getting short for me.
I will be very busy the following month, and can't use much time on this. So please don't wait for me if possible.
I will not be leaving completely though. Even though sometimes frustrating, this is one of the most fun projects I have ever worked one. And this game is as close to my dream game, as it is gonna get.
A couple of months before I found this game, I was thinking about making a very similar game myself, and now I how found this, with a giant code base and tons of cool features.
So I am very passionate about keeping this game alive and for it to continue to evolve.
But it needs to be restructured.. Badly.
It is so inefficient on so many levels, it's insane. I have even thought about writing a QSP to JavaScript/QML converter, and port the whole game, and completely get rid of the QSP layer. The more I learn about QSP, the more limiting I think it is. But it is as crazy as the idea about making it a 3D game, maybe even more so.
Enough for now. Hope it explains my thoughts, actions and position.
No.4579
completely understandable
and the thing is since your idea of rebuilding the code structure has it's greater benefits, it would be a waste of time to continue evolving the old code since we sooner or later will erase it and write a new code so i do have to wait
i would like help with anything that is in my capabilities
if help each other the time needed to finish such build will have a decrease in time and effort consumed
so don't keep me in the dark bro

"and the thing is since your idea of rebuilding the code structure has it's greater benefits, it would be a waste of time to continue evolving the old code since we sooner or later will erase it and write a new code so i do have to wait"
Well basically yes. Unless you work on something different.
And it is not my intention to keep you in the dark.
If you read between the lines, you can also hear me say: I don't have what it takes right now, to do this work - I'm too stressed out.
My attitude of "I can do everything" just prevents me from saying it directly.
And it is hard to let go of thoughts about this, because at the same time it is very interesting.
But that aside, it is in itself a difficult phase to work together on.
While I would love to be able to design this together, I am not sure exactly how we can do that.
I go through lots of ideas, and rewrites over and over again.
I believe I rewrote the previous code 10 times before I had something that worked decently.
It was not that I had a grand perfect design in my head.. Well I did at times, but then things changed..
To communicate this process, and express those ideas is very difficult to me.
I had hoped my code was expressive enough to speak for itself, and you could review it, and say, this works and this doesn't work so well - wouldn't it be better if you did it this way?
But maybe we should take this discussion to instant messages instead? Maybe it would be easier to talk about small details? I use google hangouts (via Pidgin) to chat. I will send you my e-mail address to your hongfire account.
If you don't like google, then we can use something else, that is just what I normally use.
No.4581
i don't mind any if it means faster communication
and speaking of your code i do understand some parts of it and others im struggling with
when i changed the ids from menu_item_X to the to my menu_item_form_X the results were a bit weird, the icons that have a gray option would take the place of the icon that under it for example the normal menu would be like this:
talk
sex
conduct a lesson
sex education
invite a tutor
reward
punish
get rid of her
but now after i changed the ids things became like this:
talk
sex
conduct a lesson
sex education
sex gray
conduct a lesson gray
sex education gray
invite a tutor
but im still experimenting
No.4583
>>4581
menu_item_x is defined in the menu.json file.
It functions simply as an index to the menu_item array - defined right under.
You can see that it is just ascending numbers, with a name (description of the menu item).
"menu_item_talk": 0,
"menu_item_sex": 1,
"menu_item_lesson": 2,
"menu_item_sex_edu": 3,
….
these refers to:
"menu_item": [
"<li style=\"background: url('content/pic/ui_overhaul/talk.png') no-repeat left top;\">",
"<li style=\"background: url('content/pic/ui_overhaul/sex.png') no-repeat left top;\">",
"<li style=\"background: url('content/pic/ui_overhaul/conduct_a_lesson.png') no-repeat left top;\">",
"<li style=\"background: url('content/pic/ui_overhaul/sex_education.png') no-repeat left top;\">",
…
So in QSP you can write $menu_item[menu_item_talk] to get the beginning tag of the list item, with an associated image.
I would have defined it like this:
"menu_item": {
"menu_item_talk": "<li style=\"background: url('content/pic/ui_overhaul/talk.png') no-repeat left top;\">",
"menu_item_sex": "<li style=\"background: url('content/pic/ui_overhaul/sex.png') no-repeat left top;\">"
…
But this is not possible yet, and it doesn't really matter. It would just be more pretty.
I have used so long variable names, because I don't have an overview what names are used and what names are not. Since all variables are global, I would rather not overwrite anything important.
The manual says though that variable names should not exceed 10-15 chars, which some of mine does. Seems to work though.
And btw. do you see my messages in the chat, or has something gone wrong?

WHERE IS IT COME ON MANE
No.4887
hello there
today we discuss the new mod and what it has to offer and what is improved from the last mod
this mod is followup from where i last stoped in the earlier version,
this mod uses aspects from boney_M hggmod6 so you can say it's a merged mod,
this mod is pretty much what i would call a complete overhaul to the UI and the interface,
and thus from the moment you will be reading this post i will be working on gameplay features, that been said lets dive into the changelog
-first is the icons themselves:
>pretty much every text you click on in the game from home actions to traveling in the cities to buy stuff and everything else is now have an icon represent it with text ( the total icons number for every action the player is able to interact with has reached 1302 )
-second is the text of the icons:
>texts now display ina dark orange color
>texts change color to yellow when hovering over it with mouse
>texts change size to bigger size when hovering over it with mouse
>texts have a bar with same frame color as the icons but with a slighty black transparent background that hold the text
-third is the improved bgs:
>added new bg for the moneylender house
>added a more colorful version of the mystra shop bg
>added 2 bgs for the stasis banks
>in active sex the intensity buttons has been replaced with face images indicates the level of intensity shown on there reaction face
>added chief character image and blacksmith character image bg for when you interact with them
>in the beauty shop added missing bgs to hotwax and added more hairstyle bgs for the slave
>in the beauty shop added missing bgs to all the master services interactions
>in active sex replaced old blindfold bgs with new bgs
>in the piercing shop added new bg for when doing mass piercing
>in the piercing shop replaced new of the old bgs in Body modification option-BDSM paraphernalia-Animal paraphernalia
>in the tattoo shop added bgs for the following:
3 new random bgs for when doing small tattoo
3 new random bgs for when doing permanent makeup
3 new random bgs for when doing start tattoo
3 new random bgs for when doing continue tattoo
3 new random bgs for when doing exapnd tattoo
3 new random bgs for when doing finish tattoo
1 new bg for when doing branding tattoo
1 new bg for when doing fiend tattoo
>in the clothes shop replaced some of the old bgs for the slave clothes with new bgs
>in the clothes shop added bgs for the master clothes
>in the jewelry shop replaced some of the old bgs with new bgs
No.4888
and that's pretty much everything i think ? i apologize in advance if i forgot something or you would encounter a bug, please keep in mind that this is a one man work so im bound to make mistakes
though i would like say thanks to beaver14 for helping me with some the codes i had trouble with and thanks to khorne88 for helping me with some of the game dialogs and thanks to everyone who helped and i apologize if forgot someone and thanks to everyone for bearing to wait for this mod
so now about the download and installation:
this mod is a followup not a standalone so you will need the materials that the earlier mod used now if you already had the earlier mod and was playing with it then you only need to download this mod, put in the jack-o-nine-tails folder, extract and let it replace whatever it asks to replace and you good to go
now for the people who first time trying my mod you will you need to follow one of the following routes
first is the route provided by Thedefend and it is 10 steps
1. Download the game + install grimdark (This one is pretty obvious what you need to overwrite)
2. http://wiki.anime-sharing.com/hgames/index.php/Jack-o-nine/Merged_Mods Download this
3. Extract the content folder ONLY and paste it into the Jack-o-nine-tails folder
4. https://www.dropbox.com/s/quf8bgdw8wwfvbm/jack-jonUIadds-for-MM19.7z?dl=0 Download this
5. Extract the content folder ONLY and paste it into the Jack-o-nine-tails folder
6. Go find the folder from step 5 content/pic/ui and rename 'strec' folder into 'jon-UIadds'
7. https://mega.co.nz/#!cNxylCJB!0piV72u-7vEWmZKmWjPI4aPA6WhR37fO_mNTepBlht0 Download this
8. Backup the FastQSP if you wish it and overwrite the content of FastQSP with the content of the file
9. https://mega.co.nz/#!PEBjnboa!CX66VhwD4u7gq6txjD5kNorjv7Q4PDUHmb0szKryAgQ Download this
10. extract all of the content into Jack-o-nine-tails folder and overwrite all prompt
or you can go for the route provided by Kali1979 which the whole game packed in one 7z file now i would do the same but my internet speed is so bad it would take me so long uploading it
http://www.megafileupload.com/1U10/Jack_Grimdark_MM19.7z
this is the whole game with everything been added to it before so you download this and add to it my mod,
https://mega.co.nz/#!PEBjnboa!CX66VhwD4u7gq6txjD5kNorjv7Q4PDUHmb0szKryAgQ
extract and replace, done
now you may say that these 2 routes don't have beaver14 latest engine verison, to that i say that lateast engine is experimental and not an actual full release yet so i would not recommend playing the new mod on it, might cause unexpected behaviors
i hope everything goes well with as less problems as possible and i hope you guys have fun

i went to the game and leveled up a punch of slaves skills that effect the intelligence and none of them had there intelligence disappeared,
so guys im gonna need a more clear demonstration of the problem you facing also i wanna ask did you guys start a new game or were you loading a save you made with older version of the game ?

I was able to reproduce the intelligence bug with multiple slaves.I had a mundane(red) lvl slaver wear the wizard robes, (so his lvl was pink) and try to teach alchemy. It doesnt cause a problem when its the assistant or tutor teaching. Only the slaver
No.4930
>>4929
Did more testing. Apparently only slaves with green lvl intelligence, and only if the slaver does the teaching, clothing or alch lvl of slaver doesnt seem to matter.
No.4931
>>4930
I just realized what its doing, When the slaver teaching alch, it raises their intelligence stat incorrectly, in fact it raises it up an entire color lvl, no matter the starting point, ie you can raise intel from blue to teal with only one alchemy teaching session from the slaver. If you teach a green lvl intelligent it simply goes off the chart and disappears. So unlike say teaching secretary work which only raises intel by 1 pt each, this just bypasses the numbers
No.4932
>>4931
so you say if i teach a slve with green intellect her intellect stats will disappear ?
i went and got a slave with green intellect and started teaching her alchemy and her stats never disappeared, would you please show me a picture of what you describe ?
cause what you saying about how intellect is being calculated is not quite right, you can see how many points you gain when hovering over it also the code doesn't calculate each one of the attributes alone
the code has a standard formula that is been used for all the attributes, if it adds 1 point per skill then all attributes get calculated as 1 point by action that effect that attribute and so on

idk what could cause such behavior….lets try this
are you sure you started new game ?
are you sure you have the files in there right places ?
are you sure you'r using the FastQsp engine i posted on >>4897 ?
i don't if this might help but check where you put your game, if the dir is something very long like: E/(folder)/(folder)/(folder)/(folder)/………/jack-1-2-1/jack-o-nine-tails/

This game is easily the best slave maker I've played and it's a real delight to have good reason to play it again.

No.4981

yes there is a bug with the fiend im having a hard time with right now and i didn't want to delay the bugfix for obvious reasons
to fix the fiend bug from the game you have to let the fiend die, when you exchange it for the raven crown the game doesn't count that as fiend gone/dead/0 or whatever, it just holds information till a new fiend comes and the information continues from there so just let the fiend die and buy new one or get it from a slave and it will work
as for the presets i will check them now thx for the report
No.4982
No.4983
>>4982
ok listen
thanks to beaver14's work the slaves now get collected outside the jack.qsp so you will not have to open it and mess with the codes in it
so first is the folder json, in it there is a folder called slaves and there is json files numbered, these files are the slaves linking data any change that you made in them it get applied to the slaves in the game, so for example when you find a slave missing her face or her body or scene missing a bg that means that slave has a missing line in her json file
so how you start ?
first you go to content/pic/girls
this is the location where the slaves pics are
face folder for slaves faces portraits only,
full folder for slaves body portraits only,
scene for all the slaves normal interactions only (ex: slave cleaning/slave cooking/slave taking a bath),
sex folder for the sexual interactions only,
torture folder for the slave torture interactions only,
now the standards for the pics you will be adding to the folders
face folder contents are as follows:
the images must be a jpg format
the images must be no less or no more than 150x150px
in the face folder there is a PSD file for the photoshop in it is the template frame you will need to create pics which looks the similar to the ones in the game
full folder contents are as follows:
all images must be a gif format
all images must be no less or more than 795x596px
all the slaves body portraits must be in the center of the image
scene-sex-torture folder they follow the same rules:
all images must be a gif format
all images must be 800x600px
now to the main thing
in the json folder there is a file called 0_template.json this is what you gonna use to add more slaves, first you make copies of that file and open each of these copies in a text editor program (aviod windows wordpad and windows notepad) use something else such as notepad++
from there it's easy work you can simply open one of the slaves files in the notepad++ and see compare results it's easy work
ex:
"nurse": "girls/scene/nurse_general",
"piano": "girls/scene/piano_purple_long_browneye",
"dog_sex": "girls/sex/dog_puple_long_browneye",
"dildo": "girls/sex/dildo_general",
"slap": "girls/torture/slap_general",
"spank": "girls/torture/spank_general_boot",
you can see that scene bgs follow the (girls/scene/"image") dir, same for sex and torture
now when you have checked and known where each extension goes where you simply write the image file name it's right place and as i showed in the previous example you don't write the image format in there ex:
not "nurse": "girls/scene/nurse_general.gif",
now if you look closely in the json folder you notice that files are not numbered correctly it start from 1 to 58 then jumps to from 201 to 273 then jumps again to from 501 to 569
well it's like that for a reason
see, lolicon slaves are calulated from 1 to 200 so if you wanna add a lolicon slave you make her number starting from where it last stoped all the way to maximum 200, if you go beyond 200 it will conflict with other slaves
from 201 to 500 is the young slaves
from 501 to 700 (i think ?) is the milf slaves
now you know how to add slaves to the game, i know it may sound alot cause it's done manually but it's not really that hard
the hard part is searching for the right pictures to use that or you can just from the bgs already in the game but it's not recommended, not for technical reasons but it will kill the immersion of the game, there is enough slaves in the game already that share the same bgs

After clicking next I go back to the main home menus and and a meal hasn't been prepared. My Slaver hasn't lost any Energy but the mood of my Slave drops a few levels. If I ask them how they're feeling they act as though I've cast a spell on them and talk about "whispering in the mind."

each slave has her own emotion system and each one can be trained alone with fully reward/punish system
and upgrading master energy from 5 to 15 and slaves and assistants from 5 to 10 energy max
now i want give an inside about this features here
the way this "added more slaves" thingy works by mostly a duplicate of the original slave codes and the reason i said "semi fully independent" is cause i did not just fully copy paste the entire slave code, that's just unnecessary and not a good design cause for example:
slave["energy"]
if i want to use something like this for args for different types of slaves i can't use the same line of code and expect it work on other slaves, it will just take whatever action i make on whatever slave and will apply to the main slave so instead i would have to do something like this:
slave["energy"]
slave_1["energy"]
slave_2["energy"]
slave_3["energy"]
slave_4["energy"]
slave_5["energy"]
you see where's this going ? yes, the qsp code size will be 6x times larger and that's sooo not good and this is where my small knowledge in coding stops so instead of 6x times codes, i duplicated the most important pieces of codes like
jobs/food/sleeping conditions/rules/training normal skills yourself/rewarding/punishing/ask/affect
everything else when you need to preform them you will be using the swap button that is demonstrated in the attached picture, you use it to swap slaves from the 5 sub slots to the main slot where you can perform any other action that can't be done via sub slave slot such as drinking potions/casting spells/participate in race or fight/slave surgery and checkups….etc and when done and you want your main slave back just swap her back via the same button you swaped her with

Using milk fiend from the menus does not change the Fiend's status (it still says crave). The button next to crave also does not change status. They both properly display a milking image.
No.5212
>>5211
your slave/assistant must have skill points in fiend mating to be able to satisfy it
fiend mating skill has 5 points and the fiend has 5 stages to advance into
each of the stages takes longer than the other one to reach and the milker skill is equal the fiend current stage level then the milking will be successful

well that's where the game versions come in hand, if you like the improvements in this version then feel free to use it, if you like that version then feel free to use that as well, it's not like my mod is the go to mod for the game, there are alot of people who uses the hggmod 6/5/4/3 and some others use the merged mods v1.9,
it's all up to the consumer (you)
though if you have ideas/suggestions/objections feel free to list them out, making a mod that is appealing to everything is something impossible to do, im making this mod first and for most for myself for what i would like to see in the game and i figure that sharing that is not a bad idea, if someone wants to alter the contents of the mod to your liking by all means do it and if you want to further improve on me and make something better for yourself and/or to everyone else then also by all means go ahead

>it's not like my mod is the go to mod for the game, there are alot of people who uses the hggmod 6/5/4/3
well, I consider the option of using mods that change the original experience what I call destructive method.
so if your game just add bgms and improve graphics and add missions everyone will be able to agree that is positive and it will easily be the go to mod. that other portions are the most creative and attractive parts? sure but they are very subjective like you said it is hard that those reach everyone.
>if you want to make something better yourself go ahead

Since diet is already a mechanic in the game, has anyone considered adding weight gain content? For instance, a small add-on mod that allows you to specialize in fat slaves, or something similar. It wouldn't be that hard to implement, and it's content that's barely been touched upon.

diet has a use
normal use which is the the less fat she has the more her price rise
and there is the extreme use
like fat slaves give more meat if slaughter them for meat
also the barn specialize in fat slaves, the fatter your slaves in the barn the more milk/eggs/meat they give and not just in the barn but in general
though if you have a suggestion for specialized use for fat slaves im all ears

I've been getting all my girls from the fogs for 2 full playthroughs from all red. What I've noticed about the girls:
1) Chances of getting a good girl for training seem to be significantly higher than they used to be.
2) Chances of girl being fiend impregnated are at least 90% (probably higher than 95%)
3) Virgins are NOT available from the fogs. Every girl found there has been deflowered.
These are just observations … I'm not asking for anything to be changed. It works fine as it is.

Damn, good job on improving this game that much. I liked it when it was vanilla, and now I'm loving it fully modded.
Can I suggest a few things?
-Is it possible to make the slaver stats show up like the slave's (i.e. where you currently are in order to improve them, like strength, personality, etc).
-Unique appearances for Isabella (and maybe other assistants)? Like clothed images. Although the array of slave pictures is huge, it gets boring staring at tits all game long (HAH! right!)
-More special missions like the 4 ones, perhaps involving the already new stuff (barn related)
-Linked to the above, more special items that gives buffs (although there isn't much room for that, I guess). Perhaps makes the missions very hard
-More factions, locatioins and NPCs
Anyway, keep up the good work.

Different anon here, I would add to the list:
- Central repository with all the required files. (Including images)
- Nightly builds. (Excluding images)
Unless you actually go through this threads, hunting for some of the fixes gets really hard.
I personally really like how the interface has evolved, it's gotten really intuitive and simple (less clicks to get where you want). However some changes would be very nice:
- Quick brew button for discovered alchemy recipes.
- Equipment sets for master and slaves (just like preset rules).
- In line with the above: quick buy/restock function. Think of the groceries!
- Tooltips and Information:
+ - Clicking on an aura hints ways to increase/reduce the stat. (Tooltip)
+ - Warning for weight attribute gain/loss (read: going from healthy weight to voluptuous).
+ - Like the above, warning about skill/attribute changes over night.
>>5229
And on this topic, faster learning rates for skills that are more "rare". Or possibly: the harder it is to train a (dumb) slave, the better you get at teaching.
Point in case, you get to teach 3 skills for housekeeping (maid/cooking/secretary), 3 for artist (dancer/singer/musician), and only 1 for fighter/mage/doctor.
This means you need to go through a lot more slaves in order to get the highest rank, and they have to be smart or you are wasting your time.

Why does even if my slave is not equipped with items like earrings and clothes, I lose everything once I sell them?
Is this working as intended, hardcoded? Can it be fixed?
No.5297
>>5291
Items are bound to a given slave's inventory. Harcoded.
Every slave has their own inventory and retains it even if they become assistants. Likewise, you "lose" your slave's inventory once you sell the slave.
Some things are bound to the inventory of the master, to understand what is and isn't just go to the stores when you have no slaves available.
It could be "fixed", but you would have to do program changes, like add the items to the master's inventory and instance them when you acquire a new slave. It would be a change that save you some money in the long run.
Honestly it makes sense this way (gifts are gifts) and changing it would be nothing short of a nightmare.

Sup guys, sticking my head in to see what's been happening, glad to see things have been trucking along.

This is probably the only practical way to do things. You could do a huge find-and-replace to change all instances of slave["whatever"] to a variable that gets changed whenever you pick a specific slave, but then you'd have to manually change all the end-of-day stuff back manually and add them all to an arg to repeat once for each owned slave (which would have to detect and account for which slave 'slots' are filled), and all in all it's a complete nightmare scenario that'd take tens of hours to implement and tens more to bugfix.
>>5269
Assuming there's been no changes to the fog slave code since my time, the only way to get a virgin from the fog is if she was originally a virgin AND whatever critter you saved her from wasn't fucking her. As for their quality, the more challenging the fight the better slave you'll get on average - it's still possible to get a shit slave from a tough fight but it's very unlikely.
>>5297
I think 'hardcoded' and 'nightmare' is a bit of an overstatement, unless Powerairmax's made some pretty significant changes to how items work it should be pretty fixable. Just add a dynamic to the slaves being sold/butchered/executed/dying that strips them of their items, as well as having a button somewhere in the main menu tree that does the same, then add a new button next to it to add one of each item you have one or more of to the current slave. Probably add a mood malus to the stripping and a bonus to the giving just to do things properly.
It'd be a bit of a hack-y solution but it'd save a lot of clicks.
Course, Powerairmax should weigh in since far as I can see he's been the fellow that took up the banner of modding the game (and I thank him for it, glad things continued on after I left) and he might consider the cost of items to be a vital part of balancing the game.

In regards from update going on
Most lately development was being done by one guy over at HF.
Unfortunately it seems that qsp is freaking limited engine to work on, and most of the source-code on jack game it self is also a nightmarish thing for other developers..
We are starting the movement to get it completely re-done from the ground up but with better code, sane configuration and with an actual game-engine.
One guy is already trying to make it via html+js. I personally want to make something like the godot game engine. Whoever wants to take part and improve jack-o-nine for the best is welcome to join.
