JOIP-Engine v1.1.2 Release

[RemotelyChaotic]

~ JOIP Engine v1.1.2 ~



A little later than I would have liked, but here it is…
The new version of my joi creator software (finally on Milovana as well).

=================================================================
About
=================================================================

JOIP Engine is a software for creating and playing offline tease projects.
It contains a player and an editor in one application, so you can easilly create and tinker with your or your friends teases.

Teases are written in JavaScript and the editor also contains a (for now very simple) debugger to help you find mistakes in your tease. Don't want to code? No problem! Clicky click! You can let the engine generate 90% of the code for you by simply using the UI.

=================================================================
Feature Breakdown
=================================================================

• Tease editor and player in one.
• Supports all common image, sound and video formats.
• Supports remote resources found anywhere on the web.
• JavaScript debugger and editor.
• Code snippet generator.
• Node based graphical designer for your scene flow.
• An optional interactive tutorial for the editor.
• In-app help that can interactively display help based on selected engine component.
• Kink tag lists for teases describing all kinks featured in the project.
• Pause functionality for teases.
• Possibility to export and pack teases. They can be exported as a bundle, packing all resources in a single binary file that the engine can load.
• All the components you need for a tease: resource-player, timer, text-box, cock-hero style metronome and more.
• The possibility to add a source link to a resource, which will be copied on clicking the i icon in the player. This way you can show your players where you got that image or video from and the artist get credit.
• A nice looking player UI that renders on the GPU instead of the CPU for very fluid gameplay.
• Styleable application via css stylesheets.
• Teases are fully forward compatible. Create a tease and play it with any future engine version.

Thank you to all who download and play or even just read this

=================================================================
Edit: There was a bug breaking the tutorial in certain cases. I ninja edited the post and it should be fixed if you download the current version.

wow nice

[letsplay]

Wow! Congratulations and thanks for the contribution!
I find it fantastic especially the part of the nodes!

Is there a tutorial available?
Following the program's tutorial, there is a time when it crashes and you cannot continue. Maybe you could add a button to pass the next tip

A "quick test" button would also be fantastic to see if it works! Instead of saving and loading each time from scratch.

Although they are only recommendations!

I hope you go ahead with the project!
All the best!

Need to have a look at that. That should not happen.
In any case the button is a good idea as well. Noted.

Currently there are no other tuturials.

A "quick test" button would also be fantastic to see if it works!

There's a debug button to see if your script works.

Hi!

From what I got from the first post this could really be great project, respect.

But I have to ask: Is there any tease(s) available already to play-test this?

It doesn't have to be a huge tease or something,... but at least something to just jump in and play a bit, something which shows at least some possibilities?
... I guess most people just wanna play, and only through playing they build up enough interest to start creating own teases.

Take TAI in example, if that would have been only the software without 'wicked tease' included, I guess it would have died some weeks after release,... but with a good 'example' tease people got interested, got curious and wanted more,... started to do their own creations / additions.

Best greetings,
Markus

Oh wow. This holds a lot of promise! I'm just starting to mess around with the editor and it looks really slick!

But I have to ask: Is there any tease(s) available already to play-test this?

There is a demo in the download. Make sure your content is pointed to the right place (in the data folder where the file unpacks). It's just a demo of features, but it's fully editable so you can see the layout and scripting. If this catches on, creating teases/JOIs is going to be a breeze!

[avatarbr]

That looks really cool.

I was thinking in try my next project in GuideMe, but this one looks easier to learn.

[Bright_Sprinkler]

Hi,

this looks really cool.
I will play around with it a bit.

In the patch notes I found this: "Scripts can now include other scripts to provide some modularisation to the JOI".

But how do I do that?
"import { XYZ } from 'script.js';" does not seem to work, or am I wrong?

[RemotelyChaotic]

But I have to ask: Is there any tease(s) available already to play-test this?

There's the demo tease and there's one full MLP themed tease and one in progress. The reason is that this originally started as a private project to just remake some of the teases from milovana that I've seen at the time. As far as I know there's also one in progress by a member of the tease community, but I don't know how far that is.

For the brave:

In the patch notes I found this: "Scripts can now include other scripts to provide some modularisation to the JOI".

The syntax for that is a bit hacky atm. It's:

Code: Select all

var Helpers = include("Helpers.js") /*Helpers.js is the resource name for your helper script.*/

The helper script has to be is an Object-Style syntax so basically:

Code: Select all

{
	"a": 1,
	"foo": function() {
		// my js functinon
		return this.a;
	}
}

I need to implement proper JS-Style includes yet.

Just an FYI I fixed a tutorial breaking bug and edited the post. Should be all good now.
