Preset Outfit Options

[FurryFanatic]

Hey guys/gals, I'm slightly new to this place, but has anyone brought up the idea of possibly setting up preset outfit buttons so we don't have to keep selecting each individual item, consumable, or piece of clothing and having to move them one at a time? If someone has, I apologize but I haven't found it yet.  So far, the game's great and I love the customization I can do to the girls.

I am getting seriously tired of people complaining about giving girls outfits of items. It's your choice if you want 100 girls all with the same outfits on, so you get to do the 8 minutes of clicking to do it -_-

[Graen]

Excuse me exodia91... but if people are complaining about it, then it is an issue that at least deserves to be looked at.

I'll admit that I rarely use any items in the game because of how much time is wasted assigning them to each girl.  About the only items I'll regularly use are the cure for drug addictions.  Outside of those, the only other thing that gets used is some health and happiness items on the off chance a girl dies from depression and I need to resurrect her. (Bug, I know!)

Exodia, I apologize if I somehow pissed you, but to me this option would be an improvement. Why should I have to spend 8 minutes of game time going through the entire list of items for every girl I may want to equip a certain way. I don't play the game with 100 girls with the same outfits on, but if there was a button or two that would make the game a little simpler and more enjoyable, I thought this was the forum to put my suggestion in.  I didn't know a lot of people had already asked about this, so I'm sorry.  It's just a quick one or two buttons configured on the gift list and I'd be happy to see the time cut in half at least.  Again, I'm sorry for pissing you off.

Yeah, it's been asked before. But not as often as Exodia leads on... but yes. It has been asked before, and it's being looked at from what I recall. Don't expect it to be on 1.30 though... I doubt that for sure.

[FurryFanatic]

Thanks Mehzerz. I did find that I can use the Control+left click to highlight all the pieces and items I want to give to a girl. The only downside is that I have to click through all the dialogue from each item as it's given to the girl. I can live with that for now.

If you're always so nice, they'll just keep asking and suggesting the same crap constantly, we need to jump down their throats and scare them into lurking more and reading the forums before posting the same drat thing 10 times. Mark my words, if this game gets a popularity boom we'll be swimming in hundreds of threads like this. You'd be amazed how quickly it can happen too.

Also... I said 8 minutes to equip ONE HUNDRED girls. It takes like 5 seconds to equip one as it is unless you have no short term memory and can't remember where the items are. Honestly people, I have 20 girls *which is more then anyone ever needs, anymore then 10 really and its just pointless/your own fault/ you're using crappy randoms that earn chump change* it takes like a minute and a half to put stuff on all of them, and thats if I do it all at once, mostly its 5 seconds here, 5 there. Are people really so lazy that they can't handle doing something for 5 seconds? Honestly, its a business sim people, if you automate EVERYTHING you might as well just delete the game and go look at porn.

EDIT: I finally figured out why people always take my posts as being pissed off. In real life, I have a very flat, sleepy, monotone voice, so I can get away with more provocative statements while not coming off as hostile. So the next time you read something I post, remember I'm not pissed, I'm at most, mildly irritated.

[Mehzerz]

lol Exodia. People think you're pissed because of the hostility your words set for you. Due to there being no tone within text it's impossible to tell the general tone you're trying to set. 


I can generally understand where you're coming from but I have to disagree with you. Yes, this is a business sim. BUT, it's MADE to be customized. You can't honestly expect EVERYONE to share the same opinion with you as far as how many girls they "should need". For a game like this you have to expect people to use tons of characters and micromanagement is KEY in ANY sim game. Micromanagement was a nightmare before Doc started making suggestions towards it, and once 1.30 is out the door. I really do hope to see more effort put towards fixing the micromanagement problems.


Equipping or using items should NOT have to be a chore for a game like this. It may only take a few minutes if you expect everyone to only use 10 girls, but this game was NOT intended to be played that way. There's far more than 10 girls in the standard game without mods as is.  Not to mention random girls are constantly replenished, furthering the players interest in obtaining more girls within his/her harem. I've seen you disagree with many many suggestions from players. But very rarely have I EVER seen you agree with something... so let me ask you... what would YOU like to see in the game? I'm curious.

[exodia91]

That's my point. Even when I have 40+ girls, equipping and using items has never, ever been a problem. Period. And the game was not meant to be played with that many girls, you never need more then like 10 for income, after that its just your personal preference, the game was intended to be played with a few girls you liked and then some supporting random girls. It was not intended for the player to have 50+ unique girls. I fail to see why so many people are complaining about the item system, its fine, unless you're playing this like its pokemon and have over 200 girls, which is your own problem.

[Graen]

I don't think we're playing the same game...

Whore Master allows you to own 6 brothels holding a total of 200 girls.  Also, each brothel can further be expanded to hold more girls, as well.  Then there is the girl editor that comes with the game allowing you to create more unique and random girls for your game.

Just because you play the game your own way doesn't mean that how other people play the game is wrong, especially when the system allows for and encourages their style of play.

If you don't have a problem with the item system and how it works, fine, stay out of the discussions about it, but other people do and they would like to see it improved for everyone's enjoyment.

They way you're being so blatantly stubborn and telling everyone they're wrong is starting to convince me that you're just here to troll the forums.

so, he is a troll because he doesn't agree with someone and doesn't believe the suggested feature is worth the effort that could be put into a different feature?

he doesn't like the suggested feature, so he should stay out of the discussion, but the person who suggested the feature is working to improve everyone's experience?

his posts actually have something to do with the topic, whereas yours do not contribute anything to either side (much like this one), and yet you're telling him to stay out of the discussion

It's gotten way off track since I posted what I thought would improve the game, at least to me.  I had used the search forum for any posts with words like "custom outfit" and other variations, but I didn't find anything. If it doesn't get put into the game because the developers don't think it's a good enough improvement, then there's not much I can do except maybe work on a way to implement it myself, but that would take me more time than what I have available, with work and school.  I play the game like the title says to me "Whore Master."  Because there's so much room to work with so many girls, to me it'd feel like I wasn't pushing the game to its full potential.  It would almost be like you play Counter-Strike and with so many custom made maps, you make a server that only play the original maps.  Variety is the spice of life, and when it comes to Whore Master, having more women with 6 brothels may have advantages as more updates become available.  I just want to see how far I can go in this game, then add updates and patches and keep pushing it.  This game can go so many ways with addons and custom content.  Heck, I'd love to be able to train a lot of my girls to be assassins I can send out and kill rival gangs brothel girls. Anyway, I understand your view Exo, and I respect your opinion and how you play.  We play differently, but enjoy the same game.

Read twice, post once...  I said his actions were convincing me he was a trolling, even if that may not be his true intent.

That said, the subject of this topic is how to improve the item management system with the game which supports 200+ girls, not to tell other people they're playing the game wrong.

So, if you kindly have a suggestion to improve the system, then please post it.

What would I like to see? I'm glad you asked!

I'd love to see a drag and drop interface for the items, and an equipment management screen for each girl, ala the Diablo series.


Obviously such a system would take a lot of effort to implement, and there would have to be art assets to make for each item, even if they were just 32x32px icons.

What I would really like to call into question is, how useful are the current items in game anyway, and could they become more meaningful?

[fixet]

wait, you actually want any game to have diablo's inventory? your actions are convincing me you're a troll

[FurryFanatic]

He's saying he wants a drag & drop type item implementation screen and maybe even an equipment manager for each girl, thus giving a screenshot from diablo for support, not suggesting it look exactly like it.  Something tells me you understood what he wrote, but wanted to be an idiot.  Then again, maybe you really didn't understand what he suggested, and for that I recommend a good English and grammar teacher. Love the idea though Graen.
