Whore Master Patch

[Aika]

Are you using the latest patch currently in the first topic? What girl packs do you have installed? What kind of girl did you buy before returning to the girl management page? Does it crash if you don't have any girls at all? I need more detailed information before I can even guess at what's going wrong. I can't reproduce this bug.

Don't worry about bar staff. I need  to take that out.

I've been wondering about that I've looked the code over and can't see that they do anything now I know they use to in 1.29 but now they don't seem to.  Have u seen anywhere in the code that they do anything?

[Aika]

They cost you money for doing nothing for you?

I can take another look through the code, see if I can find anything. But as far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything for you.

yes in the last patch they cost money but did nothing. (downloading new patch now)

starting out is a little hard (or atleast it was for me) i had trouble filling the bar with slaves due to them being too expencive and you needing 2-3 with equipment to actualy gain money daily.

haha i can see why i had trouble defending, in EX you need combat OR magic, constitution and agility. nothing to do with service 

EDIT: ok i doubt this is intentional but stats seem to go into a fake negative, where it ignores the stats given by items and depletes further below them down to 0. the reason i find this an issue is because you can un-equip and re-equip it to boost the stat back to what it should be...

The problems with fame have been worked out and a new patch has been uploaded. I've now squashed all the major bugs I'm currently aware of. Please post if you find anything that isn't working the way it should. Also, boomarrows has noted that the game is difficult starting out. Please post if you find this to be true as well, as well as suggestions. A job doesn't pay enough? Certain critical jobs cost too much (security? customer service? advertising?) to employ? I can't fix it if I don't hear anything about it. Let me know.

Could you enable the pay/cost variables in the config.xml file such that the user can adjust pay/cost? While you can choose excellent defaults, allowing users to tailor the game to their liking is a good thing.

This seems about right. I intended to make it necessary to equip some girls starting out with some basic items. I may tweak things just a little, to smooth out the difficulty... possibly lower the cost of having a security girl, since she's such a required part of the brothel. I've already made changes to the security job so you don't need to employ 2-3 to keep your security level from diving into the negatives... just find the right girl with some helpful traits, and she'll get better at it as she goes along.

I can't seem to reproduce this problem. Is it when you equip a girl, she doesn't increase stats? When a girl is wearing an item her stats drop? Clarify please.

I'll see what I can do, this doesn't seem like it would be too hard to add. But I'd also appreciate it if people would give me feedback on the 'excellent defaults' so I can adjust them if the game is too easy or too hard.

I'm pretty sure the only stat that can do that is Libido.  Don't think any other stats can do that.

the best way to reproduce it is with libido, if a girl has 10 libido(example), equip a girl with an item that gives '+X libido' (succubus wardress?)than make her work as a whore for a while her libido will slowley lower to 0. than if you un-equip and re-equip the item that gives libido it will increse to 15 again

hope that helps.

and for balance, starting out is a little easyer with this patch security is allot easyer to cover, the problem is the girls. there are far too many with drug addictions (might just be bad luck) or they have a whole bunch of traits and are too expencive to use as starters...


i actualy found a girl with 0 traits! but for some reason shes stubborn... gaining rebelliousness daily and after scolding will return to work for a while before refusing again, duno why i never have this issue with any other girl

 i actualy found a girl with 0 traits today i was amazed! but for some reason she is a stubborn cow! her spirit and

[Aika]

As far as I know, drug addictions are completely random.
 
With some changes I made to rebelliousness calculations, having a gang guarding the place and having a matron around are almost necessary. Even a 0 rebelliousness girl will disobey 30% of the time without a matron around, and I've had a -20 rebelliousness girl disobey twice in the same day (RARE occurence, 1% chance). I'm trying to figure out how a -38 rebelliousness girl was able to disobey, since at that level of rebelliousness girls should have a 100% obey rate. Might be a data type problem, I'll have to look into that more when I get back to it (C++ small data types will 'wrap around' if you go too high or too low... in the calculations, if a signed char goes above 127, it wraps back down to -127 and continues up from there).

Hey, I'm having trouble downloading the game.  When I click the link the mediafire site loads with the download link as normal.  I authorise it, click the link and get nothing, just reloads the "Download (86.15MB)".

I've tried clearing cookies but get the same results.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

Edit:  Anyone else experiencing this problem : It worked after i stubbornly tried the link for the 50th time or so.

Started playing with the latest patch... for some reason, everyone is only requesting bar staff. I have over 25 girls, and that is all anyone wants.

Do your best to keep all the customers happy, both shifts. Get the brothel reputation up. Brothel reputation rises based on customer happiness, and customers that aren't taken care of represent a 0 in the calculation for average happiness.When the brothel reputation (represented on the brothel main screen) is high, your fame will start to rise. Fame is hidden, but once it goes above certain levels, customers will start to visit new areas and jobs.
 
 If after more than 20 turns of keeping the Reputation at High the customers still haven't discovered the gambling hall, post here again, there's a problem.

Yes, in my version it IS important to man both shifts. Try the customer service job. The way it's a little bugged right now (logic error on my part, will be fixed in a future patch), it can potentially effectively push customers' happiness above max.

Great mod 

Waitress Job seems bugged though, my waitresses only earn 15 gold and serve 0 customers so too many customers ask for the basic bar jobs it seems.
