Customizing the pics in teases
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2016 7:49 am
There are a lot of teases out there which I really like in terms of the pace, structure and story but the model (domme) is not to my liking. I suppose this will be the case with many of you and hence wanted to share some ways of customizing the pictures used in the tease.
Obviously you will have to download the tease using the TeaseMe offline program. This downloads the tease as two parts, an xml file and a folder which contains the pics and optional mp3 files, both with the same name.
Method 1
Take the custom images you will want in the tease and rename them to match the images in the folder and just replace them. If the tease is short you can do this manually or else will have to take help of the free bulkrenameutility software. But bulk renaming works only if the tease author has named the files in a very systematic way. If it is not, that is where Method 2 comes in.
Method 2
If the pics are not named systematically and there are multiple models and sets used, you can get around this by writing an excel macro to read the file names and assign them to your custom pictures. But this takes a lot of time and effort and I have had the patience to do this only once.
Method 3
Just delete the pics in the folder and paste your own custom pics in there with no regard to their file names. Now we need to change the xml file. Open the xml file using wordpad or notepad. Press Ctrl + H (copy and replace). Now Find all <Image id=" and replace them with <Image id="*.jpg"/> . This alters the code to select a random image from the folder in place of the previously assigned one. Now this has serious implications to the tease itself. If the tease uses different models for different scenes, this could be a turn off. But if you are desperate to play a tease but can't stand the images for some reason, this is the way to go. Irrespective of how big the tease is, this method will just take a minute to complete.
Many of you would have figured these out by yourself, but I just wanted to put this out there for tech noobs like myself.
If you have any better methods please do post.
