Nimin 0.92 Aftermath

General
Okay, now that the flood of bugs seem to have been taken care of, time to regard some things.
The pregnancy-vagina bug - I spent 2 hours staring into vaginas to find any possible reasons this may happen. I did find a couple, but they did not relate to some accounts. What I think was happening was that Flash is bad at math. It happened before with the appearance sizes (I'm sure you remember the .00000001 etc. kind of things) and I believe it was happening when simply dividing an integer by 5, resulting in a comparison tipping the wrong way and making the game believe you were missing a vagina, which would then continue on ad nauseum. This would only happen once in a while, which is why the bug would pop up with completely unrelated accounts. The egg laying cannot cause it, it simply checks to see if there's an empty womb and just drops an egg, but it probably alerted people to the fact it was happening more obviously than before. I'm hoping that by "softening" the comparison, it won't matter if Flash is horrible at math, it wouldn't be able to mess up that badly.
Prostitution Scenes - The editing team are just about done with the past scenes, only a couple left, and are starting to get into new scenes. I might just continue to leave the new scenes out until the next release, especially since I am expecting fans will start sending in more. If you haven't noticed, Oviasis only has a "generic" scene which I will use whenever there aren't enough scenes to cover all possibilities. Which, in this case, there are no scenes for Oviasis, so you'll only see the generic one until people send in scenes for it ^^ Remember, prostitution is otherwise populated solely by you, the players!
Next Release - For the next release, I don't plan on adding much in terms of new events. Instead, I will be focusing on getting the game up to date in other regards. For instance, I want to re-do Masturbation with a lot more focus (which includes fixing the cheat people use to level, sorry :P). It also means filling out Sleep a little more, finishing Lila and Jamie, and probably messing around with the data itself a whole bunch so I don't have to add certain things later.
Potential Player Event - As you have noticed, each city or its surroundings has at least one "Big" event, like Malon, Lila, etc. Except Tieden. And while I have another "big" event in mind for Softlik already, I have hardly thought about what I would want to do for Tieden. Quite frankly, big events are quite exhausting and it takes a lot to do them, so I have kinda dreaded Tieden since I don't even have an idea there. While I'm sure I could come up with something that would do well when I got around to it, I thought that, with the next release not having much in terms of events, "maybe the players would want to make one."
So, would people be interested in a contest to have their own event in the game? Since I don't generally accept content outside of prostitution scenes, this could be the chance to actually go all out with an actual event. It also means I would be picking the "best" (and may even use the second best, if it's good), so there is a bit of competition. Don't know if there would be a prize besides having your event in the game though XD (I could give the "winner" a copy of Portal 1 or something? :P)
What making a "big" event means is having an event with multiple levels/paths that can go far more in depth than a prostitution scene. It would have different scenes based on different variables, can potentially change a character different ways, can build a loving relationship, lead to "unique" children, or many other things, within the scope of the town. In the case of Tieden, it should exemplify the Lupan attributes (in this case, it should probably have some focus on knots and thus have some degree of penis in it) and maybe build a little of how life in Tieden works. Since I haven't really said much about Tieden, that means your event could essentially build the qualities of Tieden (though I would have some leeway over it, like not having them be a bunch of butchers with blood everywhere or whatnot :P).
If people are actually interested in this, I will make another journal going into more detail about how to build an event and what requirements there are (such as you have to be able to write without it sounding like immature slop filled with typos and bad grammar). Just be sure to let me know if you are, I would need at least 3 people saying yes to continue with it ^^

I...I don't know about an event contest. This thing is your baby, and I kinda think the big events should be your's to make. I personally think the Tieden event should take advantage of some form of hyper-ness. Perhaps balls? There's been vajay (Felin), cawk (Equan), rump (Lizan, kinda?), bewbs (Human)...Heh, I don't know ^^; I like bawls. *dies*
Love the update, though! I hope there'll be more to do in Oviasis soon, n' the cave near Firmshaft continues to confuse / intrigue me *stares at it*
I kinda wish I knew more about flash so that it would be easier to make it's broken math work better. Have you tried setting the Vagina variables as absolutes so that it can have limited or no decimals to confuse flash?
For Tieden, I may have to see if I can come up with something... The area from the prostitution scenes and clothing reminds me of Victorian era England, London especially. I've never written anything too complex before, but I can brainstorm ideas like nobody's business.
Each vagina is supposed to be accompanied by 5 indexes in the pregnancy array, so the pregnancy array will only have 5, 10, 15, etc. indexes in its length. So, by making sure there's only 5*vagTotal indexes in the array, I ensure that the pregnancy array and number of vaginas correlate correctly. However, rather than 5/10/15 divided by 5 spitting out an integer, I'm guessing sometimes it spits out .00000001 sometimes, sees that's more than the number of vaginas (vaginas are simply integers) and thus adds a vagina. So, I padded it it by adding .5 to the vagTotal, so even with a rounding error like that, it'll remain appropriately true.
And I can brainstorm ideas too XD It's just painful to both come up with this intricate idea and then write it all out :P Or writing out an intricate idea in general XD
Then there's the handjob scene for everyone.
Lastly, there's the Felin in heat that only appears if you have a penis.
There is at least one more scene on the way, but as far as I know, it's not coded yet.
If you can convince flash to make the calculation using only integers, then (pregArray.length/5) will just throw away the remainder and you're golden.
Otherwise, you're in floating point territory, and the problem is that floating-point numbers cannot accurately represent fractions that are not (negative) powers of 2.
So, (pregArray.length/5) will give you an *almost* correct result that will look right but will fail exact comparisons when you least expect it.
It's sort-of similar to how simple hand-held calculators handle fractions resulting from division by numbers which are not powers of 2 and/or 5. For example, thy the following sequence: [ 1 / 3 * 3 - 1 = ]. The result will not be zero.
That said, you can sidestep the problem by replacing the division with multiplication:
if (pregArray.length > vagTotal * 5) { addVag }
Peace,
Lurker.
Consider that in this game, a player character may end up with a penis bigger than the rest of his body. That raises several questions:
1) How does he get an erection? Where would the amount of blood needed to fill the erectile tissue come from? Where would it go once the erection subsides?
2) How will the size affect various actions such as walking or fighting
3) How should the locals react to such a sight? It's hard to hide, after all...
I'm having a hard time imagining someone with a penis "the size of a car" fighting effectively. In my opinion, there should be some sort of scale between "totally unimpaired" and "cannot move" even when we take strength into account.
BTW, that applies to giant breasts as well.
Now, disregarding the above, I can think of several events involving a giant penis:
1. Assuming that an engorged penis is more massive than a flaccid one, a player may get immobilized while aroused should be able to move after, um, taking care of the problem. Simply masturbating in such situations should not be possible without some special implements but maybe some passers by can lend a helping hand.
2. A giant penis is only giant compared to the size of the rest of the body. For example, a giantess, could still use the player as a dildo. Or, if he gets himself shrunk ("drink me"), a normal-sized woman could do the same.
Unfortunately, I am not very good at actually writing such events, but the ideas are free for the taking.
Can't say I can write it my self but maybe it'll inspire someone, and it'll surely include knots~ XP
Just be sure to let me know if there are any limitations before I start brainstorming. Also, I should know what the deadline will be. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and let me know if you're interested. This will help me get a feel for what it will be like to write different scenarios for a game.
Well I do know one who does alot of stories, porn, and pregnancy related to wolves (Lupan in this case):
Though you may ask him.
^^;
I AM a sort of a author, but when I get started on something, I usually either...
1. Never finish it....
2. Get halfway, OCD kicks in ( Or at least something does...), and I end up editing and deleting it to hell and back.
In other words, I suppose I can say it helps me to have a direct deadline of which this needs to be finished. If you could give me that, I would be greatfull.
As well, there is the matter of the paths. You said multiple. What exactly would you like from that? Would you like seperate stories for Male, Female, and Herm? Or would you like it in a way that is flexible for all three?
As well, how would you like me to mark which path goes where?
And as well, is there any specific history of the town? Any timeline of history the town had that you can make up would also be helpful.
Bah, too many details, my head is spinning. Sorry to hit you with so much suddenly. ^^;
I don't really have any ideas for large scenes and such, though. I wouldn't mind helping to try to track down bugs, or edit scenes for typos and such, or anything else you could use some help with. ^_^;;
Or they could have a high ceiling. Whichever.
Or lending an eye to source code if you come across any other intractable bugs. Might as well put the degree to use since it hasn't gotten me a job yet. ^_^;;
As far as the actual event goes my brain is an utter blank, so if any wants to use this as a building block go right ahead.
