QSP Jack-o-Nine-Tails [v2.3] [ImperatorAugustusTertius / qwertyu12359]
I remember I used to play this game some years ago (maybe 2020 or 2021). It was much more natural and easy to understand what you had to do. The tutorial is very bad. It explains some things about slaves but not enough and gives you a house with a lot of facilities. You start the game in a shack with almost no facilities. It's unclear how you can improve without renting for a stupid amount of money (100 for 10 days or something).
Also, the stats with numbers are not really explained. For example for Pride it is Haughty, and for mouseover it says Pride D 16 (160 / 40). What do those numbers mean? It's not explained anywhere. I did some stuff that should have influenced that pride (like punish her to be naked for an hour in public and other stuff). Those numbers didn't change. Does that mean that what I did had no effect? How come. Nothing is really explained.
As well at the start I try to cast auspex and it says I failed and need more practice or something to enhance ability. Another aspect of the game that is not explained in the tutorial. I spammed it like 20 times and it worked. Was that what I was supposed to do, who really knows. Just like how you can increase your skills is not explained. Is it just training slaves? Possibly, not really informed about it.
I saw there is a guide for beginners on the first page. But that seems a guide to the extreme. If you start with the weakest possible guys and than there is a step by step guide on what to do. I don't want to play this game by doing exactly what someone else tells me to do. That's why I selected what I thought would be a normal start.
The aura reading is also not always clear. It has the same weird numbers when you mouseover that are never explained.
Flashes of fear : 1 (+40 / 10). Awareness 11 ( +20 / 10). These numbers make no sense.
Will play around a little more tomorrow but it's frustrating to see how the tutorial "teaches" you something and then the game is almost completely different and doesn't explain anything extra.

Regarding the numbers: when the number hit bigger border stat will be increased, when it hits the lower border stat will be decreased
That doesn't seem correct.
As you can see in my examples, some have the number not in the range. Is it an engine limitation? Why isn't it a normal range or maybe even with a bar filling how much you've progressed so far?
P.S. I was wrong. I just checked again and the second number is a negative number. It's just that the "-" is very subtle and hard to see.
I mean, looking for something can work but checking out almost everything that isn't explained in the tutorial is a lot.
It's crazy that a game that is more than 8 years old has such an unfriendly start for beginners. Especially since it was better some years ago.

In config.xml
<game width="1920" height="1080" title="Jack-o-nine-tails v2.3.2.1 Dev Version" icon="icon.ico"/>1.open config.xml set <game width="1920" height="1080" blah blah ...>
2.The game images position are determined by two files in the css directory. I upload my modified files here, but they may cause some problems,I don't know. I recoded some content and modifed some icon layouts.A small number of images need to modify the qsp file to determine the location, such as the page '_layout'，for example $OBJECTS_BACKIMAGE = '''' is related to keyword 'addobj' ，which was defined to add a dialog page arrow。
3.resize images，I recommend using Topaz Gigapixel AI to do the job . I uploaded some sample，put bg images into .\game\content\pic\ui\grimdark，put slum images into .\game\content\pic\bg\interiors

Wait, does this mean we can add images with a higher resolution and then make them fit the screen using those css files?

Alright I tried myself and that css file is fully functional. Meaning it is possible to do everything, including using high resolution images and auto resize them on the fly using css.

On the bright side now we can add images with higher resolution and just edit those css files to make them work on the original resolution - no need to downsize them anymore.

It doesn't seem to be working with girl imagesAlright I tried myself and that css file is fully functional. Meaning it is possible to do everything, including using high resolution images and auto resize them on the fly using css.
Proof:
The only problem doing all this with the base images is that all of them are for 1920x1200 resolution, so u need to resize them to 1920x1080 first and then edit position of all elements in css files to fit all elements properly. This is 100% doable and not so hard to do, but Im not doing thisYou don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The file size is too large. You can use the tool I recommend to enlarge all the images, it will only take a few hours.

It works with ANY image, you just need to add css code for them too.
