GuideMe (TeaseMe v2.0) - Current Build 0.4.4

[whdmusic]

Hello all
I wanna try something. Kind of a tournement with duels like the catfight in tease "Casino", but in a cup style (last 16, quarter finals, ...). Next aim: I would like to let girls be chosen out of a list similar to GottaEdgeEmAll.

I am not familiar with Java etc. but there are many pages as w3schools to look it up. But I did not find a description of the TeaseMe oder GuideMe functions.

If it is possible, I would write a function calling catfightDuel, with two parameters (girl1, girl2) and output of the winner.

This leads to two questions:

1. Is there a list with all annotations including parameter explanation?

2. Is there a possibility to change the delay in a function. You can change image with overRide.image = "path/image" or change audio with overRide.setaudio("audio.mp3"). But is there the same possiblity with delay, seconds or whatever?

Cheers

It looks like the first post on this thread needs to be updated :)

The person that used to maintain it is rarely around anymore so that's not likely to happen.

Maybe it's time to start a new thread.

Is there anything like the EOS editor for making teases for guideme offline, with a full UI?

A similar question was asked recently - see my reply here: viewtopic.php?p=345719#p345719

Sorry I missed this post, and somewhat surprised no one else has replied in the meantime.

The original javascript documentation by philo is here: https://github.com/philormand/TeaseMeV2 ... ava-script
It's still helpful for the basics, then you can refer to the other stuff below.

EroticDevelopment has updated a lot for the newer version of GuideMe and has great documentation for the XML nodes here: https://eroticdevelopment.github.io/GuideMe/docs/xml

Unfortunately the javascript documentation is still "coming soon". The XML reference can give you insight into everything that's possible, then for more details on all the javascript calls available you can dig in to the source code here:
Guide Module
OverRide module
ComonFunctions module

Once you get used to reading the java code it's easy enough to find what you need. As you've already learned the functions generally fall under guide.xxx(), overRide.xxx() and comonFunctions.xxx() although many functions are availble in more than one place (like guide.setFlags() and comonFunctions.setFlags()).

The delay stuff you were looking for is
overRide.setDelay(String target, String delay, String startWith, String style, String set, String unSet, String jScript)

If you look through the source code modules I listed, as you start to learn the functions available you can just go the relevant source page and search on that page to get details. Many of the functions have several forms with more or fewer arguments for different needs.

Hope that helps, and don't hesitate to ask more questions, but be patient. I'm not here every day, and don't log in every time I am here so may not always see notifications, but I do monitor this thread. And as you can see sometimes I miss things. If I don't respond here within a week or so send me a PM too. I always take care of those first.

Thanks PG. This is exactly, what I was looking for. I am a bit surprised, that these links come with your post and not on page 1 or 2 of the decription / manual. They will be somewhere, but I did not find them with usual search terms or I overread them.

I think I have asked this once before but any ideas why sometimes I have images and audio advance but the text does not? I have looked in the log file and nothing. Its very random but occuring more often.

Does anyone have v4.5 working on Linux?

I got it working! Short answer, download the source code from here: https://github.com/kamita721/GuideMe/tree/vlcj_update and compile it yourself. Compiling it is not too bad; just run 'make' at the top level and it will spit the result out at target/dist/linux64. There might be some other programs you need to install for that to work, but everything was already installed on my machine, so hopefully you don't need anything too crazy.

No promises I didn't break something else though. This was my first time looking at this code base, and the change was relatively invasive, and I barely tested it. ;)

Does anyone know what the current status of development is? I submitted a pull request to EroticDevelopment (https://github.com/EroticDevelopment/GuideMe/pull/46) because it seems like that is the most active repo, but it also seems pretty dead. If no one is working on it, I might take over maintaince.

If someone wants to try getting the "official" release working under Linux, I can tell you that the problem is with the VLC bindings. I solved it by updating the bindings, but there may be a solution where you downgrade VLC. Looking at the linux launcher (start.sh), it actually seems like someone had that idea, because the launcher has:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/snap/vlc/current/usr/lib

Unfourtuantly, not only does that not do anything if you do not already have a VLC snap installed. It also doesn't tell you what version of VLC you need to link against!

You have asked about a similar issue before (discussion starts here) but it referred to images not advancing, while text and audio else does.

Does this happen consistently on a given page, or is it really random?

Sometimes subtle errors in the text node prevent it from loading (like a paragraph with no closing tag for example), so in the GuideMe log start right from the beginning of when you load the tease and look for where it loads the exact page that triggers the issue, or search the GuideMe log for any errors.

Maybe the text node is broken, but GuideMe still loads the other elements?

According to his profile EroticDevelopment was last active July 31st, 2023 and his last post was in October 2022, so who knows. He did post an update of what he was working on, but that was in August 2022. After that much silence I'd say if you have the time, energy and inclination to pick up maintenance of the project, go for it.

If EroticDevelopment resurfaces you can always connect with him and collaborate.

Thanks for the response. I guess next time this weirdness happens I just need to stop and debug if I want to get to the bottom of it.

Hello all

Despite PlayfulGuy's excellent answer about GuideMe and javascript description, I programmed the Teasefight Invitational Cup with EOS as an online Tease instead of offline for GuideMe. I hoped, that I could get both because there's also a download tool for GuideMe. And with EOS, there's a larger audience to give feedback and further ideas which helps to bring the tease forward.

Unfortunately, this didn't go well. I cannot download my own tease. https://milovana.com/webteases/showtease.php?id=69023


And now, the first question comes, that also others would like to download it as offline tease:

Any chance you can convert this to be offline as well? I cannot get it to run in GuideMe.

With EOS downloader 096f, I get following error message:
Getting tease info for https://milovana.com/webteases/showtease.php?id=69023

Error occured in BeautifulSoup: <class 'UnboundLocalError'>

Does anybody know, what BeautifulSoup is and what I have to change on my tease to be able to download it? I like soups, actually , but I tink, this is not what we are talking about .

The downloader has been updated to 0.97 with lots of updates, including the fix needed because of some recent site updates (BeautifulSoup).

Your tease downloads with the new version. I would post in the other thread if you have issues with the conversion.

Thank you Trusfrated and apologies to the silly mistake to not taking newest version. I didn't check!

Download works with new version but I don't get it running. I post it in the proper thread, thank's for the reminder.
