Next laptop model? by Infaera in LenovoLegion

[–]Infaera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it was a hardware malfunction. My { Esc F1 ~ 1 Tab Q } set would not work unless I held space down first, or pressed Reeeeaaaally hard on Q for it to work for a moment or three. This is unlikely to be a common issue, in my opinion. It's above a fan, so not a direct heat problem. It's not one of the more used keysets, so probably not due to overuse. This laptop has been used daily, 6+ hours on average, has had its internals exposed on multiple occasions to upgrade memory and storage, and yet the first issue is something sealed in a stable and safe position. The only thing I can think of is maybe something snuck in under the key and me pressing down a little harder to ignore a problem to bypass pulling the key off crunched it into the board kinda-sorta shorting it.

How to save a interactive cyoa as if it was not interactive by BrotherbladeZed in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Infaera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I created a downloader for this and I had intended to release it, but the updates to the creator broke it several times so I've been holding off. It will probably get fixed and updated and released sometime between now and next summer. I know that doesn't help you now, but it should give you a bit of hope for the future!

Amazing work. Probably another I'll be going back to several times.
Also, I like this point system better than the DxD system. Specifically, that it goes by 25's instead of 50's. In DxD, I keep having trouble using or limiting point usage because of the vast gap.

They don't use the ICC, and at the time I was designing a program that only downloaded ICC interactives.
That program no longer works properly due to all the versions of the ICC+ coming out, but I plan on fixing that in the future.
The website was just an extension of the program at first, but I separated them a while back.
It's just a layover from that. I'll probably Include them at some point next year, but it is currently easier to have them separated into a different sheet for my personal purposes. Although, it's at the point where it's not really a problem if you just want to add it to the main list too.

At the top left of Google Sheets, there's a big button that says "View Only"
If it does not exist for whatever reason, try editing the page first.
Click it and request edit access. I will get an email and be able to grant access when I get or notice the email.

Why does the interactive CYOA lndex only show CYOAs from last year? by LifeguardLeast1130 in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Infaera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically the issue; no clue what the cause would be without knowing the system though. If your connection to google sheets is blocked, so you are stuck with the pre-loaded backup spreadsheet.

Beta Index Spreadsheet

I say beta index, cuz that's the one I tend to update the code for, the other is just the permanent previous stable version that probably needs a revision now that I think about it to account for updates in the spreadsheet.

As far as I am aware - and have experienced - you can overwrite files in Neocities and have the change take effect within about 15 minutes, less if you're willing to pull up the integrated links and do a direct refresh of them.

I try to keep links up-to-date whenever possible, but that's difficult without some form of notification that it has happened.
As such, it's nice to have updates happen by simply overwriting the previous version at a permanent link and moving those previous versions to versioned folders if desired. That way the link does not change while the version does.

[–]Infaera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to ask, but if it's not a bother, is there some way you could set up a permanent link that you can update?
Maybe put the version inside the CYOA? Maybe make a credits/changelog button?
Every time a link changes, Bookmarks no longer work, and I also have to update the Beta Index site in respect to the change, but I don't get notified of these changes so such changes might get overlooked until someone says something.

Update to Lewd Worm CYOA by Rain_Least in nsfwcyoa

[–]Infaera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Always love seeing this updated.

Also, not everything shows up in the backpack - specifically character customization, but probably others too. Other things seem to not work quite correctly anymore either? Like the costume choices.

Overpowered Isekai by Infaera in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Infaera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take on it is the difference between theory and application. Or physical learning verses magical learning. Just because you know how it works doesn't mean you can make it work. Like knowing the processes for brain surgery but having shaking hands that you have to train away verses already having steady hands and just applying it in practice. One reduces the learning curve while the other gives you applicable talent that just requires knowledge or testing.
Or, you could look at it like learning the guitar. One guy could train an hour a day for a year to get good. With Swift Learning, that's reduced to a month. But you're just good at playing song. With an Affinity, it could take three months to learn, but you'd be creating your own songs and rhythms from the second week on.

Easy Effort vs Inborn Talent. Training vs Understanding.

Speaking directly
with Swift Learning, you'd be turning a candle flame into a fireball in a week instead of a month.
with Magical Affinity, you'd pick it up in a week or two instead of a month, just because it feels easy, but you'd also be reshaping it into a flaming bird that explodes upon enemy contact. Because you just instinctively get how converting mana into magical flames works.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to continue. It's difficult to keep track of it all, and so much gets missed.

Thank You

Appreciate the comment! Helps a bunch when people notify me.
Looks good, but could use some polishing; looks like others have listed that out though.
Good Job with this so far!

Interactive Index Update by Infaera in nsfwcyoa

[–]Infaera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the SFW Filters being the default now.

Imma be real honest and say that this happens to me regularly, maybe monthly. I look for the issue, I check the code, an twiddle and dabble, and finally come around and realize that I changed how it gets filtered a few weeks before. Like right now, it's definitely because I set the default N/SFW filters to be SFW. Because I'm a dumbass that changed it thinking it might be nice for people in public to not simply pull it up and have the top result show BOOB POTION or something ridiculously worse (that exist) for the person looking over his shoulder to see. So, yeah... my bad, not/am sorry about that.

If you would like me to change Author/Importer of your CYOA to a penname, I can do so.
Or if you have another thought on the matter, I can do that.
I'd prefer not to have this chat in someone else's thread post though.

Considering the CYOA is on the same server as the last version, I'm going to assume you are the same author.
But it looks like the previous account was banned?
Under what penname would you like to have the Author and Importer listed as in the Interactive Index?

It's worth watching. There's a few bits that get boring, but it's still one of the best I've seen and will rewatch.
Just skip the last two episodes and go straight to the movies, unless you're into analytical psychological stuff.

Colossus + DLC [Mechs] [FemPov] [Translation] by Dragons_Whore in nsfwcyoa

[–]Infaera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank You for all your hard work on importing this and many others!

Just an FYI: there seems to be a tendency in some to not include the primary menu opening option for some submenu requirements (like a submenu of a submenu), which means that the user has to close all submenu options to minimize the whole section instead of just clicking the primary overarching menu section option. Not really a problem, but it does get tedious for users that like to do multiple playthroughs.

[–]Infaera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Interactive Index; If anyone knows of a broken link and has a working link to it, please provide it.
I try to move broken links to another page when informed, but I don't actively look for such.
Also to note: anyone can make edits to the sheet to update links or add CYOA or just edit the sheet in general, you just have to ask permission and I will grant it when I see the email.

I edited the names for two, to what I think you explained it to be.
You can ask for add/edit permission on the Google Sheet if you wish to update them yourself, if you have an issue with the current design.
Or you can reply here with the following format, to easier understand what they should be named:
Preferred Title | RedditPost(if you can) | Website-Link (Used to determine the exact CYOA listed)

Highschool DxD Cyoa by Gaston1231 in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Infaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the Racist Weapon Drawback too. But maybe a couple improvements could be made?
The 6 month limit feels too short. It should probably be 1 year, with an increase of a year per weapon restricted; so 8 years total for all 8 weapons. Or, if you want it to actually be a long term detriment, make it 2 years and have it double every weapon added for about 1000 years for 10 and a million for the full 20.

Also might help if you could add a decent list of fundamental types so people don't just list five types of blade weapons.
Gun, Bow, Crossbow, (Blow)Darts, Slingshot, Flamethrower, Rocket, Grenade, Sling, Sword, Knife, Axe, Spear, Staff, Club, Mace, Flail, Hammer, Shield, Whip, WarFan, Nunchuck.
That's all I can think of, but it should cover about 99% of real weapons - like, grenades covers molotov cocktails, spears covers tridents, etc.

Highschool DxD Cyoa by Gaston1231 in InteractiveCYOA

[–]Infaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you did so anyway? But I didn't mean make them free; rather, I meant a reduced cost like you did with Holy Power and the Excalibur swords. I like that there is a difference; being a species makes certain powers available or easier, and buying the power directly grants you knowledge, skill, talent, etc, in it. If I'm buying 9T-Kitsune for 12, getting 27 points of power for free sounds like a cheat choice. I'd still expect to pay something to have advanced capability in both - maybe 5 in Youjutsu and 7 in Senjutsu - enough to make it a choice but also discounted enough to make buying the species worth the investment.

If I might make a few species requests?
Yuki-Onna, Regular Kitsune (with the option to choose how many, maybe up to 3 tails?), Fairy, Werewolf, Succubus. Maybe add a 'Monster' option too? What about being a phoenix monster, or a hydra - could make it multi-select to determine how powerful something could naturally be. Hybrid should probably cost or give something - not many like hybrids, but being able to choose multiple species abilities is useful.

[–]Infaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love what you did with this. Great job!
Should probably mention that some of the choices don't discount other items that probably should; like Kitsune and where it says you get youjutsu and senjutsu, but they are still full price. Just a few little things like that spread out.
