First off, I will be starting a new job in April so I may not be able to post as often as I was.
This past week I have not been able to get anything done with the game for various reasons.
I have been slowly working on WME to try to make it handle scripts but that will be slow going.
Now for responses.
1: When given the week off for maternity leave retain previous job like you do when the matron gives a girl time off (and maybe allow maternity leave to be a player controlled variable).
Maternity leave should have its own job type label and save the old job.
The old job part of the code needs a little work as well, it doesn't always save correctly and the matron does not always send them back properly.
I will try to get it to work when I can.
2: As long as the doctor or counselor jobs are staffed and the buildings have room, allow a girl to be sent from her existing building to receive those services, and retain the previous job as with being sent to rest by the matron. You could make a generic get treatment job category with specific selections therein. It would be fine for the girl to take up space in both buildings as she is 'occupying' her existing building but receiving treatment and therefore temporarily occupying the other facility. Once treatment was complete the girl would return to her previous work in her normal building.
I have considered allowing the matron be able to send girls to other buildings but it would cause more problems than it would solve.
If they could, the girl would have to save all the information of the move.
Then if there was no room in the old building where would she go?
There are too many variables for this to happen any time soon.
As it is now, there is a chance for the girl to visit the clinic if she is on free time.
More free time options can be added and any factors needed can be added to select what she does on her free time.
I will just summarize the LonelyLokly / edgy98125 discussion.
@LonelyLokly, you may be having problems with the Characters folder being moved.
I made the game be able to be more portable/upgradeable by allowing the Characters folder to be outside the program folder.
This allows you to upgrade the game to a new version without overwriting the old version and without having to move the Characters folder over.
See this thread -
Moving the folders - it needs a little rewriting and examples but it should help.
If you want to create a random girl that uses the images for a particular girl, name the .rgirlsx file with the name of the girl.
So if you wanted to make a random girl that uses the images for Agrias Oaks, make a "Agrias Oaks.rgirlsx" random girl.
The "Agrias Oaks.girlsx" will still be there but you will also have some random girls that use her images.
The images in the "Default" folder are supposed to be used by the game only when the girl does not have that image type in her folder.
There is a bug in the image selection code that is making it not choose a related image every time so default images are getting used more than they should.
I have not gotten around to fixing this because I was planning on rewriting how that entire section works so fixing it then replacing it would be redundant.
I don't make girls packs but I can add links to the pack makers threads in the first post of this thread.
I did add a "hard coded random girl" to the game if the player has no .rgirlsx files in their Characters folder.
This was added because some parts of the code required a .rgirlsx file in order to work, if the player didn't have one, the game would crash.
They will have no images except the default images and their stats/skills will be low.
Their traits will also be random and can be anything in the CoreTraits.traitsx file.
If you don't have a CoreTraits.traitsx file, then there are several traits that the girl may get.
I have no say in approving or disapproving any girl packs, anyone can create/modify/download any pack they want.
Occasionally I will update the .(r)girlsx files of packs when the original creator no longer updates them, but I take no responsibility for the images in said pack.
When I find multiple packs for the same girl, I combine and filter out the duplicate images.
I currently have 1431 folders with matching files, 1113 .girlsx and 318 .rgirlsx files.
I also have several folders/.(r)girlsx that I have not finished checking and matching up.
