Conflicting Movements

[Janine Dee]

Yeah, I'm sure we've all run into it. I know I may reach to rub her pussy as she is say reaching to play with my breasts, and basically who clicked last is the one who's command is carried out.

It's sort of the nature of the beast with computers. The machine only knows the command it received. So command A has one set of actions and the computer starts carrying them out, but command B comes half a second later and that has a different set so the computer changes over.

Fixing it would require a MASSIVE overhaul, and even then it would almost be certain they would miss something.

Though if the Development Team reads this… have you considered play testers? You could EASILY find volunteers here, and that way you could get early feed back on new poses and tinker with them a bit to make them as well received as possible.

Not only would it be a fresh set of eyes, but it could be those perspectives you would otherwise not have.

Just have it set up as the preliminary pose an executable you would email to the tester directly that would be able to install itself into AChat, and then uninstall itself when the real one comes out.

Though you would probably want to make it coded to the tester, and only usable with someone else who has their own tester version.

Still, seems workable, maybe a good idea?

I know exactly what you mean, I've learned where I can do certain stuff that won't interfere with what the man did and where I cannot. If its a partner that likes to do things more descriptive I can describe how I feel from what he did instead.

But it would be nice if we could respond how we like. I think the new poses are better in that way, they are often made better so you can mix more actions.

[Janine Dee]

You mentioned it in another thread Adera, they do seem to be learning.

[Bear]

Well they seem to be picking up better,..one thing about the handcuff pose was the lack of multi-action…I should be able to massage the breast and play with the pussy,..but one option overrode the other…I peg this down to Janine's comment,…a need for beta testers…

It's in their best interest to put out poses with a wow factor…that drive membership…
*raises hand…I'll volunteer*

[Janine Dee]

Yeah, should go without saying, but better safe then sorry. I'll volunteer as well.

[Lover]

Very good idea Janine. I must not be a volunteer, but if you ask me, just to help to improve AChat, hmmm, ok – I will do

The question is, which action is singualr and which actions can be handled together. This has to be decided. Then (in my mind) it should not be a problem, but I am not the expert in  programming.

[Zinah]

I'm chiming in on this because frankly, I can conflict myself.  It's all good, I want to hit the button so my guy knows there are rockets going off and suddenly I'm leaning forward, rubbing myself and not doing anything even *vaguely resembling my happiest moments!  What about head tossing and sheet grabbing as a way to share your joy?

[Bear]

Indeed Zinah,..an image which makes more sense…

[TightFit74]

I think the idea of beta-testers is a very good one. The feedback the dev-team gets should be very usuable to improve on the pose. Maybe they do have testers, but they sure are not female (lol) and I wonder if they play the game online, as a regular member. Would like to volunteer as well..

[Lover]

I also could be a female beta-tester

I think the robots are their dummies – if a scene is working they publish it. They probably know about some issues but maybe it's a comp problem or they do belive it's not important. This is my opinioun when I look at some poses.

Tight, thye are online as members (remember Tom's statement about a member called Admin)

[Janine Dee]

Oh they undoubtedly run bots through to check the animations. Betas would be more to test the “logic” “feel”… to give that human perspective.

[TightFit74]

Then let me be more speciific: are they online as active players…?

[Lover]

Yes.

True Janine.

[Bear]

No doubt they test, but the value of the beta is an impartial opinion which isn't bound by budget, schedule and deadline.

The value is to avoid the embarrassment of ridiculous releases like the ff 69 strapon

[Ardeur]

They could partially solve these conflicts by making a clearer division between full and partial or sub animations.
Let's make an example out of the 'show what you feel' category:
Say there's an animation called embrace, which is a full animation.
One of the partners decides to use it and the two persons step towards each other and put their arms around each others waists while gazing into each others eyes.
From that position you can go a lot of ways without the need to step back for another animation, examples: grab ass, kiss, nuzzle neck, sneak nipple tweak, rub/scratch back or the well-known and sometimes animation-breaking “enjoy”. When you're not actively using a certain body part in an animation, it should be free to use in another as long as the different animations don't cross of course.
In between animations from one move/pose to another would be great too.Going back to the default action only to move back to a different animation in an  almost similar pose can be a bit immersion breaking.
