Add-Ons for ArianeB

[qbv8]

Hi muppet787
Arnulf is a wise man, and he has given you this answer to protect you from the evil of the Dark and let you live your life in peace and freedom. But as a small bird has whispered into my ears that you are a very curious person that would have no peace in the remainder of his life, if you did not know the truth behind it, I will do something that I never did before: I will reveal to you the way to get Rebecca undress her top while dancing in UP17.

In case you really, really, really need Rebecca to undress --- and please note the three "really" here: these apply only if your health is endangered or the terrorists attack "the civilized world" or the moon falls down on our heads --- there is something you can do about it, and this means using magic. But beware: it is dangerous to mangle with magic.

For this to work, keep in mind the number 95 --- this is a magic number and very important here for the fix --- and proceed exactly according to the formula written in The Book of Dark Arts, which I will repeat here just in the unlikely case that you do not have "The Book" at your disposal. Note that this formula consists of exactly 6 steps where 6 is a magic number by itself: 6 is the first cipher of the number 95 turned upside down, 6 is the result of the sum 1+2+3, the result of 6 to the power of any other number always ends in 6, and God has created the world in 6 days. Take care not to use a different number of steps, otherwise the magic will fall back upon you.
[*]1. Open the file datingsimulator/text95.htm with your favourite text editor. GNU Emacs would be best, but if you are a brave man, any other plain text editor like notepad & friends will do.
[*]2. Look at line number 95. There you see the beginning of [font=Courier New]function postduo.[/font]
[*]3. Change the first if-statement by inserting the text 95- into the place marked red.
[*]4. Press the "Cursor down key" exactly 9 + 5 times consecutively by murmuring with each keystroke the words "INFERNUS SIMUL ET CAELUM IN ME!" and bowing towards the Metaverse (the place where the author of Ariane lives). If all goes well, then you are now in the else branch of the if statement.
[*]5. Insert the magic signs 95|| into the place marked red.
[*]6. Save the file and let Rebecca and Ariane dance.
[font=Courier New]
function postduo()
{
if (95-parent.playVersion > parent.versionORIG) {
if (parent.drinks < 4) {
parent.picture.location.href = "pic95f.htm";
parent.respond.location.href = "resp95f.htm"; //ari asks reb to join
}
else {
if (parent.dress == 8)
parent.picture.location.href = "pic95g.htm"; //ari and reb dance 2
else
parent.picture.location.href = "pic95f.htm";

parent.respond.location.href = "resp95f.htm"; //ari asks reb to join
}
}
else if (95||parent.playVersion == parent.versionORIG) {
[/font]

I hope to see you again in this lagoon one day, healthy and alive.

It took a long time to prepare the next update of the ArianeB datinggame, but now it's done.

The new UP 17 is made in cooperation with qbv8 and the potent and engaged assistance of Digits and Json.err.

I heartly want to thank all team members for their effective and fruitful support.

THANKS GUYS!!!

hi Arnulf, qbv8, all others

ich denke der Fehler mit fehlenden Bildern ist weiter Systemimmanent (blödes Wort), es passiert mir regelmässig downtown in allen Locations nachdem ich über die Abkürzung /already know her) und viel herummachen wieder mit ihr in die Stadt fahre. Sie zieht sich zwar zum wegfahren an, ich denke sie vergisst aber im Museum, Shop usw, dass sie eh was an hat.
Patch habe ich schon eingespielt. Wahrscheinlich habe ich sie da schon dumm und dämlich gepimpert oder mehrere Save/Load's haben sie verwirrt.

Wenn ihr die Statuslines braucht, kurze Nachricht genügt und reproduziere es

Ja, bitte, schicke uns den savestring, wir sind nämlich der Meinung, das repariert zu haben. Aber so kann man sich täuschen!

For the sharkies generally: Yes, please send us your savestring, because we are prett sure that we have fixed this bug. But "Errare humanum est"

ludwig, you can check th situation by yourself: you can in every step watch the situation by clicking on State (the red button on the bottom. Then you can check the dresscode and when the dresscode is different to the dress as shown on the picture, there would be a bug.

[muppet787]

Thanks Arnulf and QBV 8. Unless I can find a friend who is good with editing I may just have to wait until the next update as I am completely useless.I didn't even know how to extract files six months ago!!

[qbv8]

You're welcome muppet787
And you are not useless at all. Your report was a valuable contribution in improving Ariane from release to release. Please keep reporting errors whenever you encounter one. Reporting errors is never a mistake, it is an important help, especially if it comes from non-programmers.

Thank you, and enjoy the game!

Huuuuuuuuuuuhhh --- looks like a lot of work on your side. So, we will do our homework as well and see what we can get out of this.

Bye now, I'm diving into the abyss ...

RE: Ludwig, first error report
Assumption: you play "ArianeB UP17" as published by Arnulf on 13-July-2009 and you have applied Patch 1 as published by Arnulf on 20-July-2009 and reported in the same post.

In your bug report from yesterday (part 1) you report to have [font=Courier New]dress = 5[/font] (only bikini bottom, topless) and the history of states ends on [font=Courier New]... --> 31 --> 64 --> 65 --> 66 --> 68 --> 72 --> 88[/font].

The error shown is that no picture is displayed in state 88. This is because dress code 5 is not supported for the deco store. Now the question is: How did you get Ariane in dress 5 into the deco store? To shed some light on this, we look at the history of states backwards, starting from the deco store. Some examination of the code reveals the following properties.

State 88 "deco store": dress 1 and dress 8 supported, changing of dress not possible
State 72 "downtown": no Ariane shown in the picture = dress independent, changing of dress not possible
State 68 "intersection": no Ariane shown in the picture = dress independent, changing of dress not possible
State 66 "gas station": only dress 1 supported, changing of dress not possible
State 65 "intersection": no Ariane shown in the picture = dress independent, changing of dress not possible
State 64 "ready for drive": only dress 1 supported, changing of dress not possible
State 31 "kitchen": all dress codes possible, changing between all dresses possible.

Therefore: if you have [font=Courier New]dress = 5[/font] in State 88, then you also have [font=Courier New]dress = 5[/font] in state 31, and we have to examine the transition from state 31 to state 64 to see how we could slip there without changing clothes.

Looking into text31.htm, we identify all the possible places where a direct transition from state 31 to state 64 can occur. This is the case only when Ariane proposes to go for a drive, and you accept, which will lead us into the function [font=Courier New]followsuggest()[/font] in text31.htm, line 188:
______________________________________________________________________________
[font=Courier New]
if (parent.suggest == 2){ // go for a drive
1) if (parent.dress == 4 || parent.dress == 7 || parent.dress == 5 || parent.dress == 15){
parent.changeto = 5;
if (parent.swam == 1)
parent.change(84);
else
parent.change(12);
}
2) else if (parent.dress == 1 || parent.playVersion == parent.versionORIG) {
parent.change(64);
}
3) else {
parent.changeDress (1, 64);
}
}[/font]
______________________________________________________________________________

According to this piece of code, condition 1) is true (because of dress == 5) and we should see a state transition to either 12 or 84, but not to 64. This will lead to either the sequence [font=Courier New]31 --> 84 (black dress) --> 68 --> 72 --> 88[/font] or to the sequence [font=Courier New]31 --> 12 (black dress) --> 68 --> 72 --> 88[/font]. Therefore I assume that the code in file text31.htm does not correspond to what is shown here.

Condition 2) can only be true if condition 1) is false and either dress = 1 or you are playing the original version. In this case we would directly change to state 64 and are on the safe side in UP17 (because dress = 1).

In any other case, the code under 3) is executed, and we should see Ariane changing her dress from whatever she is wearing now to dress = 1 (casual clothes) and then change to state 64, which will bring us to the safe side, and all pictures should be shown correctly.

Please examine text31.htm and see if your code corresponds to what is shown here.

This is as much as I can do from here now.

Regards,
qbv8

SORRY, was my fault,

i unrared the patch into the directory and it made it's own directory. I think i was much too curious to check it hard enough.

But it was great to see how you were reading Arianes diary and what she had done with me :-)

I'm going to patch it now again and look for new adventures with her.

Thanks for your patience
Ludwig

Oh, Ludwig!! Mir fehlen die Worte! (vulgo: Mir bleibt die Spucke weg!

Viel Spaß noch mit Ari!

[qbv8]

Mein lieber Junge, diese Nummer kostet Dich aber mindestens eine Kiste guten Rotweins ...

Hey ludwig, where's my wine?
