v3.3.5 explained: Bye bye, TwoGirlsPacks

Now that I have your attention, let me explain...

1. General

The format for scenes and positions has been upgraded to contain a list of all girls taking part in that particular scene. All former TwoGirlsPacks will be automatically converted to this new format on loading.

This works with recent packs, older packs from the very start of TwoGirlsPacks weren't available for testing. If you still got such packs, either convert them before applying the update or send me a copy for analysis.

Now there is only one editor, so change the file association of *.twogirlspack to it.

2. Editor, main window

Since there is only one kind of scenes, all of them are available in one list. In order to highlight scenes with more than 1 girl such entries are marked with a dark gray background color.

If you want to create a scene with more than 1 girl, just check all the girls needed in the partner list and then click the "Add" button:

If you want to add or remove girls later on, select the scene, check/uncheck girls and choose "Change Parther Girl(s)" from the right-click menu of the scene.

3. Editor, scene editor

Each girl will get its arousal column, which will be dynamically created. The column header will contain the initials, the help text on mouse over the header will show the full name.

Selecting a position will show all girls' arousal and required arousal values in list form.

In order to create more positions with multiple girls the limit on position count has been lifted. In the game a vertical scroll bar will appear in the position button area.

4. Game, scene selection

Up to 3 girl images are shown, if more girls are part of the scene a small counter will appear in the upper left corner.

Names and values are all concatenated using the "&" sign as separator.

5. Game, pre-sex

All the girls are shown in a list, a vertical scroll bar will appear if there isn't enough room.

6. Game, sex

Girls and their arousal are shown next to the player. Currently there is no horizontal scroll bar, you can get the player and 5 girls on a 1280 pixel wide screen.

Get plenty of viagra, since all girls' ratings are now taken into account while determining player arousal. Only if all girls are fully satisfied and the player's power reaches 0, there is a chance for a second round.

Yo!

Great update! But I just started checking the new editor and the first pack I opened already brought an issue (it's an older pack of Magan Vaugh, Skin Diamond and Leilani Leeane). First of all I encountered the WTF moment when I ran the game and tried to see everything in game, I hooked up with a girl at a Cafe, brought her home and got HospitalWork scene. Then I thought maybe the pack got fucked up. I opened it with the new editor and somehow it got all of the locations with same videos from the first scene in the list that was Hospital Work - same scene names, same amount everything is the same. However I opened it with TwoGirlsEditor and it's fine. Investigated further, same happens with solo girl packs but that goes only for the packs that were created or modified before 2015-05,so as I remember there was some kind huge editor change that may have influenced the packs during that time, as all packs after 2015-05 are running fine with the new Editor. However, I have found a solution that I will need to make to my older packs and also people would know what to do with their packs if they face this problem. Open packs with Single or Twogirl editor from the last version and just re-save it. The new editor will encode everything correctly then.

Will be looking further, if I find any issues or anything, I will let you know.

Yes, see above (general section). I don't have old packs anymore, so I couldn't test the scenario.

Could you send me a copy of the packs, please?

All of my packs are available via torrent - old and new ones. For testing purpose you could check Siri/Puma Swede/Holy Halston as solo packs. As Twogirls you can check one I mentioned earlier or Aletta & Alison & Audrey.

Fix for old single scenes: http://www.fastshare.org/download/SV_Sh ... 170611.zip

Problem is that these old scenes don't contain a unique ID. With the new multiple girls I always check if the scene belongs to the base girl and search for the same unique ID, if this isn't the case. The fix skips this if girl count = 1.

Another problem with these old scenes: You won't get the light/dark green colorization of the "Flirt" button to distinguish new/already seen scenes.

So as I said, I will fix all my previous girls with the editors from last version. I think some old packs need some changes in locations too as some scenes were done without locations existing yet. And I am almost done cutting all the new scenes I got for the new torrent update. So practically it will be good timing of everything.

Fix for old threesome scenes: http://www.fastshare.org/download/SV_Sh ... 0611_2.zip

Kebaboni, with these fixes you should be able to work exclusively with the new version. And while you are at it, heed the editor warnings. :)

By the why, what should I do with the scenes in the pack. Where are 3 girls involved and I did the combinations that all girls could have it? Should I just remove those duplicate scenes?

I'm not sure what you are asking. I've seen packs with girls A + B in a scene, and girls B + C in another scene. Some positions were part of both scenes, some positions only in one of the scenes. What I did was the following: I chose one of the scenes, let's say A + B, and added girl C to it. All exclusive positions of B + C were added to A + B, too. Finally I removed the old B + C scene. That way the new pack is smaller, because there are no more duplicate positions in it.

And don't worry, the former limit to position count has been lifted, so you can happily merge the scenes together.

I take it this fixes both problems.

The download host is giving me this message:
To download this file you need to disable your adblocking software!
I'm not gonna do that, so could you please provide a better host for the fix, or better yet, update the sourceforge archive.

Question is, do you want to update your old packs yourself (using the former release)? The above fix will only make the packs loadable, it will not change the scene ID. This is only done on saving, so you have to touch all your old (< 2015, like Kebaboni wrote) packs anyway.

As to a new release, Tomcat said to me: Let's wait some days and look if lots of people run into the problem.
