Whore Master MMX
« on: June 12, 2012, 03:58:43 AM »
I'm excited to announce that Crazy and I have decided to combine our skills, and start working on a mod together. We're going to name it Whore Master MMX, and by working together we hope to bring you all a mod that neither of us would have been able to produce working alone. It will combine the best of Whore Master Patch with Combining the Big Mods.

I'm aware that Combining the Big Mods already used Whore Master Patch's source code, but since I released the source code Combining the Big Mods used there have been many changes to Whore Master Patch. Whore Master Patch was, I admit, also eyeing up changes Combining the Big Mods was making. How do you choose between two mods when the developers are chasing each others' tails? With the two of us working together now, no more worry.

We'll be working on getting the first version of our combined mod up soon.

Question here, what paradigm will you guys use while working together? crazy is far more conservative when it comes to changing elements of the game and instead focuses on expanding it while you're are taking a more direct 'WM EX'like approach and quite boldly tear the game a new one. Both approaches are useful, I am just wondering what to expect from MMX?

Well, Crazy is probably going to continue working on expanding the game and creating new and different areas and getting those working correctly. I'm not entirely certain where he's going to go after that, you'll have to ask him. I'm going to remain focused on game balance issues, working out the jobs, girls, traits, items, and such. On request from scripters that may decide to work on the mod, I can create new script functions or modify existing ones for them to make use of in the script editor.

Heh. I didn't think of it quite like that... (LOL @ tearing the game a new one) I don't even pretend to really know what I'm doing. I started my first mod as a learning project, after taking a couple classes in C++ I wanted to look at some code and see what a real working program looked like. I spent the first couple weeks just studying the code before I even made my first change. Everything I've done, everything I'm doing is just to see if I can. At this point, I'm not even in it for the porn anymore, I just like the challenge of the project.

I'm not entirely certain I like the implication that I take the same approach as THE FUTURE did... I don't even have access to his source code, but I can tell where he cut and pasted bits of code into the wrong places. I can name at least 3 bugs that only exist in his version that are resulting from that. He did an amazing job of adding flavor to his game, and I would have to work hard to meet the standard he set in that regard... but certain bugs make the game unplayable for me, and they all stem from either carelessness in his cut/pasting, or not knowing what he's doing when he does cut/paste.

Pretty much this.  Got quite a few place I want to add then I'll have to work out the jobs to a basic state.  Aika will probally then make them work better with what hes done as I haven't looked at that much.  After I get all the places added idk what I'll do maybe look at new events or something got lots planned but as of right now added new places is all I'm working on.

Edit- On that note one thing I want to do is make it to when you click the clinic or arena or whatever it brings up a screen like the brothels do with a pic and such.

I didn't mean to imply the same approach, I meant that you are more willing to make some serious changes to game mechanics themselves as opposed to fixing bugs and adding new stuff/improving interface.

When you guys are finished and you want an editor/dialog writer let me know. I need to see the script first when its ready. Can't wait for this.
