I7 Extension Simpler AIF

Postby AnotherWannabe » Sun, 13Oct20 19:25

(I don't know how popular I7 is here as an authoring tool, but since this is technically a project I though it wouldn't hurt to post it here.)

EDIT: Simpler AIF Version 5 and its companion extension Advanced Layered Clothing can be downloaded directly from my blog at http://awaifgames.blogspot.com/2013/11/ ... thing.html



More than a year after Simpler AIF version 2, Simpler AIF version 3 is released. It is a MAJOR upgrade over Simpler AIF version 2.

Simpler AIF is an adult extension for Inform 7 (built off the ever-popular Dudeman's General AIF) and is geared towards beginners who want to write their first AIF game and experts who would like an AIF extension that is internally easier to customize. Version 3's documentation has been totally and extensively rewritten from scratch to reflect that. -->Games written with Simpler AIF version 2 will not be compatible with Simpler AIF version 3. <--

You can download it from my blog -- [Link removed, use the one above]

If you want to help me improve the extension, please provide bug reports and suggestions, either in the comments, this forum thread, AIF archive or the email provided in the extension.

FEATURES
[*]Much, much better documentation that walks you step-by-step on writing basic AIF scenes, adding new actions and body parts.
[*]All the basic body-parts and sex actions expected of AIF.
[*]A sex action tracking system that minimizes the need to keep track of fiddly truth states.
[*]Upgraded action memory system that counts how many times you successfully did something and also provides a phrase to treat unsuccessful actions as successes.
[*]A simplified layered clothing system, including an optional "clothing sets" plug-in that expands the functionality of the default clothing system.
[*]Plug-ins that provide features of convenience for AIF writers, that can either be dropped in from the documentation or commented out of the extension. Plug-ins include additional default body parts, the ability to rename the basic body parts, orgasm controls and more.

A special thanks to Hanon Ondricek for helping me test the extension and give suggestions, and to Dudeman who allowed me to use his extension as the framework.

Version 4 is released, it contains critical bugfixes and adds one new feature that I forgot to add.

I know absolutely nothing about AIF. Does it involve writing lines of code?
I downloaded the release 4 file (simpler aif.i7x). What do I use to open an i7x file? 7-zip didn't recognize it.
Is the release 4 file all I need?

Err... alright, let me go backwards.

AIF stands for "Adult Interactive Fiction". It is mostly text-based but includes support for pictures and audio. It does involve writing code, if that isn't your thing, but Inform 7 uses natural English sentences to code which I find much easier to program. If you're completely new to Inform 7, I suggest learning at least a little about the program first before diving right into Simpler AIF. It's "simpler", not necessarily "simple".

You need to download the Inform 7 program to use it. This is the same program used to write Peril in Pleasantville. It can be downloaded from http://inform7.com/

To install, go to the "file" menu, click on "install extension", then select Simpler AIF.

Thanks for the very fast and informative response. I really appreciate it.
I HATE writing code; I had to do it as part of a job I previously held.
For now, I'll stick with using Visual Novelty as my program of choice.
