No gif's, ... hell, nooooo gif's!
Let me explain, ... gif's are so outdated, and shown in a picture-box is eating performance, ... so you have a much better performance when you play high-res videos with this (Awakening make use of VLC-libaries) than displaying gif's.
I once tested to show 2 gifs in 2 picture.boxes at the same time and the result was awful, ... one gif is Ok and works fine, ... but performance-wise it's much better to use videos than gifs.
So yes, ... for the domme (and any contacts) you can select a folder, you also can have a list of folders btw., ... it's called 'Add domme media folder' instead of 'Domme images', which can contain videos or pictures, ... then a folder will randomly picked.
In this example video I selected just one folder with just one video, ... so it wasn't that randomly.
Well, most of the times when playing with TAI it shows pics which are doesn't match the context in any situation anyway, except you explicity use tag-commands in the script.My idea was to make some categories (typing, teasing, laughing, etc), and call when need it. But the work to find a model with a lot of webcam videos and edit the parts (maybe 10/15 seconds each) made me give up.
So in the end it will be up to the user to find pictures that 'work' for him anyway, I mostly use such chat-pictures like shown in the video.
And I guess to play such small snippets like you describe it could look a bit scattered.
Anyway, there will be no tagging for videos, but all that I can say is that even some POV-alike videos maybe can work better than just some pictures, ... you will see once you test this on your own.
That is a 'hint' label, which is already optional, so if anybody don't like it, it could be turned off.
I personally often had the feeling while playing personalities that I am not sure when or if I could response, and that I missed some content because I've missed such opportunities.
So, this is a helping hint, it displays 3 things (if you choose to have it activated):
- Timeout Commands
- Yes or No ability to answer
- When an answer is expected
That label is also used for a new command '@ShowWait' which can display the left time until the @Wait - time is over.
1. Not planned, but you are not the first one who ask for it. I hope you can understand that on my To-Do-List things are at the top which I use myself, and things which I never use myself are down below on that to-do-list.I know it is early in the project, so a few questions:
1) Are you planning on utilizing the left-hand side conversation window? I prefer that to the "at the bottom" text
2) Will there be the lazysub app?
3) I noticed the reference to Win7. I am actually running on it, will I be ok to run this?
I never used that side-chat, so, ... as I said before, every suggestion which is posted in this thread will not be forgotten, but it might take it's time, depending on the 'place' on my To-Do-List, ... I hope you can understand this and maybe you have the patience until I get to such things.
2. Also not high on top of the To-Do-List, but yes.
3. Of course, win 7 is what I am running it on, developing it on, testing it on.
... Until now I have not made ANY effort on the design (colors and such) ... this is a pure 'Work-In-Progress'-Version.My one critique is that there seems to be some different colours being used for the controls and the grey/black contrast is a bit jarring to the eyes. Usually my focus is on the conversation and the media window and I think it would help if the other parts blended in more.
So don't worry, the colors/design will change, and most probably there will be a way to customize the colors, so you can choose your own (like you can do in the original TAI).
Best greetings,
