Slave Maker 3.3 Beta

This is the first beta for Slave Maker 3.3.

LINKS REMOVED - SIGNIFICANT BUGS FOUND
330Mb

note: uploadmirrors now only takes 200Mb files. It's a pain these unstable issues with file hosts.....

This is an UPGRADE only, it is intended to be installed over an existing game installation. Also it is currently built with all minor slaves released installed (except the few loli ones). If you do not have them all installed then you will see some empty cells when purchasing minor slaves. You can fix this if needed by editing configuration.xml

This upgrade will update save games from version 3.2.06, but any save games from before that should probably work but some events may not quite function correctly. All events and similar should be fine for 3.2.06 saves.

You may wish to backup your old save games before upgrading (say just load and resave to another slot). You may wish to backup the game file too, in which case backup the file/folders
SlaveMaker3.exe, SlaveMaker3.swf, configuration.xml
Engine folder
Language folder
Events folder
Slaves folder

I fully expect many bugs from this beta release, I was still finding ones yesterday and there were extensive low level game changes that heavily changed many parts of the game

Otherwise, this version has a lot of low level changes to the game engine and a lot of changes for developers

• unlimited custom acts (well actually a few hundred due to tab sizes, but seems adequate)
• xml custom event support
• many xml tweaks
• some new actionscript functions and small tweaks. Notably a new function to alter button lables. more logical than using UpdateSlave()
• houses are customisable
• weapons and armour are customisable
• many class changes, see the SDK Examples/Common Scripts/Classes for the publically released ones.

For players

• you may sell any owned slave at the slave market. Do not explect high values. It would be very hard to make a profit buying a minor slave and reselling, unless quite a bit of time and training passes
• Much expanded Lady Grey events
• revised screens for planning
• more weapons in the armoury, and revise armoury screen
• yes/no/unsure responses for love confession. Unsure means they can reconfess later.
• love confessions that are stopped due to leadership limits will re-confess when leadership increases
• initial marriage support (many be fully in for release, not sure yet)
• new slave maker creation options (I am open to more)
• new sex acts Handjob and Footjob, written by Zincat
• Slave Makers can buy clothing and costumes and wear them. They can also choose to be naked. Currently in beta1 these choices do not matter but will (for instance Attend Court will require clothing and come options a certain standard of dress, as will visiting some NPC's etc). Some sex acts will get a bonus (ie BDSM dress will enhance BDSM activities)
• Thanks to Chaos-X most of the standard minor slaves have had an image upgrade

Known issues still in the beta

• I have not added the last version of the Handjob/Footjob acts from Zincat, I'll release an updated Acts.xml later for them. The current version just reads as SlaveMakers only
• The Lady Grey events need more testing and a fair few places just have place holder text, the final version released with 3.3 (non beta) will resolve this
• Some slaves may have odd dress releated issues. I have changed my slaves + Orihime + Peach to handle this, but slaves that do not have the full range of dresses or gain a dress during gameplay maybe affected. If you notice any such issues please let me know. I'll check with the developers or add some additional code to support for backwards compatibility.
• the Slave Makers dresses/avatar system is still a bit unstable + the new images are not used much. Will be resolved in the full release. As noted above the choice of dress has no effect yet

Some notes on the new release

• a lot of standard images have been moved to be in the Images folder, including all standard minor slaves, weapons, armour, the map of the city
• save games are restructured a bit, it is a little more complex to exit a slaves statistics for instance. All slaves, including the current one are in the file smxslaves.sol. It is awkward to find the slave, but note the array is sorted, and the debugging menu, Slave Details, will tell you the index
• some areas of the game use less memory and some more, I think overall it uses a bit less memory
• the game uses a bit less cpu use
• purchasing minor slaves is not optimised and can be a little slow to move through the cells, especially backwards. Should be ok forwards, but not lightning fast.
• starting a new game is a bit slower than version 3.2.06, due to changes to allow all slaves, assistants and minor slaves to change types (ie an assistant become a slave, a minor slave and assistant etc). This slow process (a few seconds before slaves and assistants) should only happen on new slave makers. Just starting a new slave for an existing slave maker should not have the slow bit

I would much prefer any bug reports be posted in the Futanari Palace or MasterBloodfers forum than here.
