Unofficial Sex Sim Support / Re: Update 1.7-1.7b searching entire hard drive

« on: November 05, 2013, 02:18:39 PM »

I think, the idea using a patch/update instead of every time make a complete new installation of the game, is the right way !

Regarding the update problems:
Why not just pretend that the Update.exe needs to be copied into the SexSim installation-folder and executed there?

Then it would not matter which path was Sexsim installed, no need to search the registry, etc...

this would require moving the updater to the sexsim folder, either manually -which may not be possible without 'administrator approval', and leads to tickets like "I tried moving the updater to the install folder but got access denied"- or automatically which requires the use of the registry to locate the install folder.
however neither one of these methods would fix the problem of the installer not correctly identifying the updater when ran.
another method would be to simply write the data to the current folder without performing any checks, but then someone would say "I installed the update but am still on the old version" (update installed in the Wrong location) or "I installed the update and it overwrote the pictures of my grandma!" (update installed in the More Wrong location).

this sort of highlights one of the problems that software developers deal with, there are many different types of people, and many different types of environments, and building a single thing that works for everyone is very difficult.

a bit like designing a vehicle that can fly in the air, sail on the water, and drive at highway speed

I don't agree with that, because if a user unable to copy a file to a folder, i believe he is also unable to install a program like sexism , except without administration rights 

Another point is, if a user has changed something in the _aDSata folder (for example: create/copy a character, or clothes there), and reinstall the game, he might lost this changes.

See article http://www.sexsim.com/forum/index.php/topic,670.msg3027.html#msg3027,
where Jak wrote:
Just a note to anyone using mods like this... if you modify anything in the _aData folder instead of the user_created folder, please be aware that those files may be overwritten when new updates come out.  The safest thing to do is always use the user_created folder for modifications unless absolutely necessary.  If you do mod something in the _aData folder, make sure to back it up before installing any official Sex Sim updates.

I still think it's not to much to ask a user to copy a file to his sexsim folder, but however, if we need to perform a new installation at each patch, update, hotfix or release , i have no problem with that

How to make things for Sex Sim / Re: Question

I have used the permutations program but none of the characters I saved show up when Irun  SexSim.. just the two originals.. what am I doing wrong?

First, you're going to need to install a Java runtime from http://www.java.com/
(If you've already got Java installed, I recommend checking that you're up to date)

Once you have that installed, just create a directory somewhere on your system and put the ppp.jar file in it.  Anywhere on the system will do, but the closer it is to your SexSim directory, the less work it will have to do when you first run it.

The first time you run PPP, it'll go hunting across your system for your copy of SexSim, and record that location in a ppp.properties file next to the ppp.jar, ready for next time.  This bit might take a little while (maybe a few minutes at worst, probably more like 30 seconds, depending on the size of your video collection) but it only happens once.

If you use Windows 7/Vista:
Sexsim keeps its "user_created" data in its program directory.  If you installed sexsim in the "program files" directory, and you run as a "normal" (non-admin) user, that means that PPP won't be able to write directly to those directories, because Windows protects them from editing to avoid things getting accidentally trashed.   

There are two ways to work around this:
- I am told (but have not tested myself) that if you put PPP actually in the sexsim directory, things will work (This tricks Windows into thinking ppp is part of sexsim, so Windows (mostly) plays nice).  Thanks to forum user oldcock for suggestings this workaround.
- PPP will detect that it's being blocked.  It will then write the files elsewhere instead, and you can manually copy the files into place.  (ppp will tell you where to copy them to/from).

At last check the PPP settings. Is there maybe no character selected ?

PPP should generate a ppp.log file in the same directory as the .jar file. 
If you're having still problems, post it in this forum.

PLEASE NOTE:                                                         
EACH TIME YOU RUN PPP, IT WILL OVERWRITE ANY GIRLS FROM PAST RUNS. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANY OF THE GIRLS PPP GENERATES, EITHER RENAME THEM USING THE "MANAGE LADIES" UTILITY, OR USE THE CHARACTER EDITOR TO RENAME/EDIT THEM, BEFORE PERMUTING AGAIN - OTHERWISE THEY WILL GET WIPED.

You find this Information too in the readme file in the PPP folder

Suggestions / Re: What would you like next?

I think it would be great if the women had also a visible orgasm, and when the body's change more during orgasm (for example, continued to lean back and the facial features change accordingly).

Another suggestion:
It would be great if in the night vision, would light up the sperm. 

I especially would like to have more places

(Sorry my English is not the best)
