Living is right, that stuff is very simple to script but you'll have to do it manually unless new tags are introduced to make that more convinient... we'll add this to new tagging discussion when we get to it.
Ok, thanks guys.
I don't mind doing it manually, It's just I had no idea is it's something plausible or not as the game doesn't allow something like changing images files midgame yet so there's no reference.
Hi!You want to introduce conditions for certain images to reflect some kind of progress?
Well... it's doable. But is it worth the effort? Looking at my own image pool I don't see many characters for which this could be used, mostly because there is no obvious progress.
minutes.
Dunno

, it's probably too much based on personal options and each girl to generalize. In it's all stripped form it's just about making some pics unavailable from the start, whatever selected. If you don't like the idea right away (and I'm not 100% convinced myself) then I say to drop it and I wouldn't force it into my packs either (but I probably still try that set swap event someday).
There are still options even now with current tags for similar effect, like forbidding some happy pics in actions that the girl doesn't like, and thing like forcing the girl to be nude all day should also work (but no matter how awesome it is, the prospect of having to add condition like that to every case of showing a pics is really unpleasant, could there exist a better way?...)
The point that the modder could make the selection himself when placing pics into categories (like exposed pics as normal profile for some shameless girl) is valid, but only for unique girl, not random ones, so it's still best to try to do it by traits/stats when we can (and those can change through gameplay too, not mentioning that the prospect of the girl changing her closet by making her morals change is kinda interesting).
I see what you want to do and it can be done with scripts that swap certain images. How would you want to use this, when do you change the set?
Not sure if I get the question, but let's see...
The main Evangelion girls like Asuka or Rei have so many pictures, that they are capable to do all the jobs (except service that use maid costumes) in both their schoolgirl or plugsuit outfits. So I though it may be maybe possible to let them start the game in their schoolgirl outfit, with the option for player later to go through some quest to acquire the pluigsuits for them, enabling the option to tell them to wear it in their jobs too as "reward".
Or differently not so serious, I would probably change Matou Sakura (Fate) to her Dark Sakura form whenever she's pissed, just for the fun of it, like every time her joy drops too low or you do something bad in interaction

(it was not so nice for her in her route, but it was used as comical effect in spinoffs afterwards so...)
If it's something that could be done just with a script, then I can manage with event system/custom interaction labels, outside the main game files, right?
It's just that I am so unconfident in writing normal stories, that I'm clinging to the visual stuff like these
