Pink Petal Games

@CasualFire
What do you mean with slowdown? Right now, the entire video is loaded at once and decoded, during which time the game is frozen. For a short clip, that should not really be noticable, however. Or is it lagging while the video is playing?

@renat Great to hear. Yes, the spelling is wrong, but it is used in so many places that I've so far avoided to fix it. I'm still trying to improve the displayed error messages, so that these things become easier to debug.

I've just uploaded a new version here: https://github.com/h1262216/crazys-wm-mod/releases/tag/v7.2.1-beta7

With the therapy crashes now (hopefully) fixed, I think this has matured enough since my first introduction of the new image selection code to be called a beta version. Apart from bug fixes, this version introduces two features that have been requested some time ago:
1) The ability to load game settings (the More Details part from New Game) from files, placed in `Resources/Presets`. I've put some very simple files for different difficulties there, that change mostly how much money things cost and give, but I haven't really playtested this to see if it makes sense from a balancing point of view.
2) The ability to select image preferences. With the new image tagger, you can declare whether an image is a drawing, rendering, or photo, and the player can select their preferences. This is just a relatively small nudge into the direction of images to use---if a tag with lots of images is requested, then the preference will be fulfilled, but if there are few or no images of that type, the game will ignore the preference setting.

From now, I hope I can focus my attention on implementing the new, generalized job code. I've made some progress on this, but as jobs make up a good chunk of the game, its a large amount of code to deal with, and it will probably take several more weeks till I have something playable again.

This is likely caused by me adding traits, but I'm getting a "_Map_base::at" error at load or new game when loading traits.

Any idea what I screwed up?


on alpha 5 atm

"_Map_base::at" indicates that the game tried to look up something, but could not find it. First thing is to look at the `gamelog.txt`, that might give some more clues as to where these invalid lookups happened and what it tried to look up. Usually, it's just a spelling error somewhere.

@Zephisto, thanks for reporting, it appears there are some spelling errors in the job xml files. I've fixed them, and also changed the code to validate that traits exists already when the game is loaded, so that there is less chance of such a thing going unnoticed.

@renat For the Advertise job, there is actually already something similar, in that it can generate an event where the girl says that she doesn't like the job and wants to be reassigned. When unifying the code for all jobs, I guess it makes sense to allow this more generally.
