Since necro is taking his time with 1.30 here is 1.29.3. The only new thing is the support for the xml versions of the girl,rgirls, and item files. Note, this version will load both the xml and non xml versions so you might see duplicates. We are still working out the kinks with the xml so there might be some weirdness. The other main changes are the load time improvements, and of course bug fixes.
Need this for the xml version 1.29.3.0 http://www.mediafire.com/?outzykbnj3z (http://www.mediafire.com/?outzykbnj3z)
The version 1.29.3.2 http://www.mediafire.com/?nr1eltwtkym (http://www.mediafire.com/?nr1eltwtkym) in case I screw up this version
Latest version 1.29.3.4 http://www.mediafire.com/?f2qkw2nxhnc (http://www.mediafire.com/?f2qkw2nxhnc)
*edit by Solo761*
Here's full repack for those that don't want download all of the updates to get to 1.29.3.2 version.

It's set with XML files. If someone needs old files they're in "OldFiles" folder within game folder.
-
Can't seem to get it to work. What version should I be patching from?
-
version 1.29.1 or 1.29.2.
-
Also crashing when trying to load either new or saved games - the errors seem to have to do with the new xml files. I removed these and the game loads correctly.
-
I think DocClox said that if there are XML files old ones will be skipped so there shouldn't be duplicates.
But yes, something is borked with XML loading in this. I removed old files and left only XML ones and the game crashes when it finishes loading them. When I swap XML ones for old ones game loads fine. I tried with both XMLs from my editor and with the ones from DocClox, same result.
When I tried older trunk rev 77, week or so ago, and newer with 1.30, XMLs were loading fine.
-
Here's updated version, this one should work if anyone wants to use XML's, just replace "old" 1.29.3 exe with this one. DocClox pointed out what was the problem and it was easily fixable even by me :) , unless I missed some strings that is :) . But with this exe game started fine with XML files.

Cool. Nice work. I've got the fixes (plus a few other odds and sods) in the branch for this release. So hopefully ...
-
I actually think it's better to release updates in 'pieces' like this anyhow. 1.28 and 1.29 were a mess of bugs due to changing too much with too little testing. Incremental updates allow new bugs to be isolated and quashed very quickly (like the XML crashing).
-
Yeah, "release early and release often". I tend to agree.
Not always possible though if you;re doing something far-reaching.
-
Could you add more details in your error message and log them in the game log file?
I just got an error saying something wrong with the trait of a girl but since I do not know which girl it is or which file caused this error it is extreamly hard to figure out what is wrong.
This is a suggestion rather than a report of bug, but I think it will be very helpful for future detection of bugs.
-
I'm working on it. Sometimes you have to add arguments right down the stack to get the information to where it's needed. I'm improving them where I find them, but it's going to have to be an ongoing process.
-
I know it was mentioned once, and I don't know if it got changed in 29.3, but could something be done about the link between high magic and immune to pregnancy? For instance: a button like the ones controlling sex types in the upgrades area that would allow a player to turn off that function of magic. (Speaking of which, in 29.4 you might consider simply making an options menu and putting it in the space between 'supplies & upgrades' and 'visit dungeon'. It would be a more fitting place for the sex restrictions button.)
-
It's been removed in this version.
-
New build to help remove some errors.

We need to either increment the version number or add a new position to the version number to represent these small sub builds (ie, build 1.29.3 gets updated by 1.29.3a and again by 1.29.3b). Perhaps use a system that allows us to follow the dependencies. 1.29.3 requires 1.29 to be installed before it can be patched. 1.29.3b requires 1.29.3 to be installed, but not 1.29.3a (as 3b overwrites the file updated in 3a anyway). If the next patch updates something other than Whore Master.exe, then it would get a version number like 1.29.3b1 or whatever to indicate that 3b is required for the update. Any update at a level above the lowest update level should include all files required for the lower level updates so the patch can occur at the highest level (ie, 1.29.4 would include everything necessary to bring 1.29 up to date).
Feel free to tell me to stuff it here, as this may be too complicated to be worth implementing. I just get OCD when it comes to haphazardly versioning stuff.
-
we have added the sub version in already, we can do what you are suggesting for future builds for the dependencies. It is not that complicated
-
This latest build would be a sub-sub version, as it depends on 1.29.3.
-
That's odd. The last version I checked into the tag/branch I made for this release, I changed the header to read 1.29.3.1.
Delta, which version of the software did you build?
[edit]
D'oh! Ignore me. I can't read. The latest release, according to the title bar is 1.29.3.2. Zodiac, that sufficient for your purposes?
-
The title bar for this thread is still '1.29.3'.
-
yeah, I meant the game titlebar.
Not sure what to do about the thread. If we're going to do some fast big fix release, we're going to spam new threads all over the place if we're not careful. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
-
Changed the thread title, need to add link to first post.

Yeah, that's good for me; I didn't see the version number in the program. Can we get that put in the patch file (if someone hasn't changed it already)?
-
I thought it already was. I've got the full version on my windows download.
-
Nope, the latest patch is called "Whore Master.zip" which doesn't really clue anyone in to what it's for. >;o)
-
I will change that next release.
-
Ah, you mean the name of the patch file. I misunderstood.
-
I guess I really wasn't that clear from the start. I'm glad this molehill-cum-mountain is over >;o)
-
Thread title is 1.29.3.2, but the link in the OP leads to a file named 1.29.3, is it still 1.29.3.2 or not?
-
You need 1.29.3 and then the exe update. There's two link on the top post; you'll need them both.

Does it matter what order you unpack them in?
-
Yes, it matters (which goes to the heart of my version numbering rant). Currently, you need to install 1.23, then patch to 1.29, then patch to 1.29.3, and then patch again to 1.29.3.2.
-
OK, I'm uploading full pack of 1.29.3.2, will that help dealing with this issue? :)
ETA 30 mins
-
It will help at this moment in time, but we don't want to have the dev's uploading the whole game each time they patch something. The important thing is for the process to be clear for users.
-
Well, there were some bigger changes lately, new file formats, renamed pics and like. If you just keep adding stuff eventually you'll have a lot of unused junk :). This will be new "filtered" starting point. And there wasn't really a full pack since version 1.23. For someone "getting on the train" now it can be confusing. Of course, there isn't really point in UL-ing every little update, especially when only change is in exe file. But I think UL-ing full version every 4-5 updates is good idea.
But it won't happen yet. UL failed... After almost hour and a half... It seems mediafire has issues again... After first upload it simply started UL-ing again, and after that one finished it simply said failed, I think I'll put it on HTPC and leave it to UL overnight, it's always on anyway (although, it's already 1:30AM here so it is night :P).
-
It might be worth doing for every major release, and we haven't had one of those in a long while.
-
It was kinda long time since last full pack and although these last few updates were minor by version number, resource and under the hood changes were somewhat major. I agree that there's no point in doing full repack if updates are only exe files, but when other stuff get's updated it's not such a bad idea. At least to delete files that are not used anymore, there were at least 3-4 editor versions when I updated 1.23 to current version :).
-
The full repack does include the version of WM that makes .xml files work, correct?
-
The latest one, version 1.29.3.2, exe is from the "The most recent exe file" link.
-
Anyone else notice it shows that gives the girls insane amounts of gold for wages? LOL
-
Can you please add a changes.txt so we can see the chances from .3 to .4
-
All t really is, is a bug fix that I cannot seem to get right.
