Another random scenario generator (it's free!)

Post by Crowley »

Folks

Came across this forum a few days ago (looking for something else) and noticed my software mentioned a few times so I thought I'd say hello and shamelessly promote it a bit.

It's an open source application i.e. it's free and the source code is available to anyone who wants to modify it or just have a peek. I'm a hobbyist programmer, I taught myself Visual C# to write this and it probably shows in the code :oops:

The application allows you to specify a number of categories i.e. cuffs, plugs, boots, etc and then populate those categories with items. A random set of categories will be selected then a random item from each selected category will be given.

The driving principle behind the development has been to make it as user customisable as possible i.e. you can define any category you like, any item you like, change the background image, move the checkboxes about, etc.

You can modify the probability settings in many different fashions i.e.

What percentage of your total categories will be selected for each session type
Make various categories more or less likely to be chosen (I like boots, that category is always at 95% :D )
Make various items in each category more or less likely to be chosen

The second part of the program is a random trigger. This runs on your PC as a system tray application (both components are Windows only, I've looked at porting to Mac & Linux but it's beyond my skill-set at the moment) and kicks off a random session on a random basis (there's a "random" theme here!). You can configure how often on average and the probability of different session types. My personal settings average out at once per month with 50% change of a full scenario, 10% for a light session (25% change of any given category being selected), 30% for a medium session (50% chance per category) and 10% for a heavy session (75% chance per category).

Sorry if that description is a bit number heavy, hopefully it makes more sense when you see it in action. You can define additional parameters for the random trigger i.e. only trigger between certain periods (after the kids have gone to bed in my case) and password protect the whole thing so a screen with a full list of your sex toys doesn't pop up when someone's borrowed your laptop.

The application isn't self-bondage specific, I actually wrote it for my partner to use. She's not particularly into fetish or bondage but willingly indulges me, occasionally. This app was written to introduce an element of surprise for me rather than having to dictate when and what every time.

As I'm not into self-bondage there are probably features missing that would make it more useful for people who are. The application is still in development so if there's anything you're after, let me know and I'll see what I can do. There are a number of posts over on the bound forum that discuss the development that's taken place so far and what suggestions have already been incorporated.

I've included a screenshot of the default main screen below, if you're after any more information head on over to http://randomdresser.sourceforge.net

Thanks

... change "Frontbum" to "Pubic"
generic and understandable....

Otherwise, looks good...

Thanks Dark Lizerd

The key point I'd make about Front Bum is that the screenshot is from my personal configuration. The idea is that you'd create your own categories with whatever names you wanted.

You're not the first to question this, I think I'm maybe making the initial learning curve a bit steep because I've tried to make the app TOO customisable, I'll have to think about it.

Crowley, Cor blimey I thought 'Randomdresser' had gone dormant as I never got a response from you via email :o It caused me some pain (we do pain) as to if or if not to release 'Bluelist'. I was very concerned about a clash of interests. Back a year ago or so when I was playing with 'Randomdresser' I had a lot of stability with the befuddling patches on patches of MS upgrades breaking it. After defecting to Linux I never could get it run under wine. Thus 'Bluelist' was born, it took on a life of its own from there.

For Bondage sessions with the trigger and task functions 'Randomdresser' I still regard as nothing short of brilliant, recommended.

It good to see it still supported and alive and kicking

hola me encanta tu programa, pero me gustaria poder tenerlo en español ya que mi ingles es muy malo.
¿habria alguna posibilidad de traducirlo?

yo te podria ayudar

que opinas


hello I love your program, but I would love to have it in Spanish because my English is very bad.
Is there any possibility to translate?

I could help you

what do you think?

I just remembered where I saw that drawing of the woman - it's on the record attached to the Voyager probes!

Cool, Crowley! :D

The plaque was intended to inform any extraterrestrials who might come upon it when and where the spacecraft launched (using 14 pulsars as a reference point). "There's also an image of a man and woman - perhaps the most cryptic for an extraterrestrial to understand," says Vakoch. "The response NASA got [to that image] was quite surprising to them. Some were concerned that NASA was sending pornography into space." (Illustration: NASA)

Thanks, LoKiT! Brings back memories of my teenage crush on Carl Sagan... :oops:

Yes, I admit it, I'm a space and astronomy fan... thinking of zero-g sex while hogtied... with nipple clamps... oops... my mind drifted off there... :wink:

Esto se ha traducido a través de Google lo siento si la gramática es horrible

Desafortunadamente no hablo español, me gustaría. La aplicación no utiliza archivos de idioma en el minuto para cualquier traducción tendría que ser por escrito en el código.

No hay mucho texto en la aplicación real por lo que no creo que sería difícil de cambiar con el uso de lenguaje, este debe hacer la traducción mucho más sencillo. Voy a tratar de hacer esto para la próxima versión, pero yo no podría tener la oportunidad de desarrollar la aplicación por un tiempo, estoy muy ocupado con mi trabajo de verdad en el minuto. :(

Gracias por su interés. Voy a publicar un mensaje aquí cuando llegue una nueva versión lista y cómo traducir por ello, cualquier ayuda en ese momento sería muy apreciada.

Or to put it another way :D

This has been translated using Google so sorry if the grammar is awful

Unfortunately I do not speak Spanish, I wish I could. The application does not use language files at the minute so any translations would need to be written into the code.

There is not a lot of text in the actual application so I do not think it would be hard to change it over to use language files, this should make translation much simplier. I will try to do this for the next version but I might not get a chance to develop the application for a while, I'm very busy with my real job at the minute.

Thanks for your interest. I'll post a message here when I get a new version ready and how to translate for it, any help at that stage would be much appreciated.

Cool, Crowley! :D
Close but no cigar, take your punishment :whip:

For some reason, I always associate them with the Voyager programme as well but they're actually from the Pioneer programme, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque

The phrase "the first human-built objects to leave the solar system" gives me goosebumps, I AM SUCH A NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used the images as an early placeholders because I have the artistic ability of a small turnip and even then it's a small turnip that isn't very good at drawing things compared to other small turnips :oops:. I took them out of later versions becuase I didn't want to compromise the open source nature of the project by including copyrighted images but was subsequently told that all NASA pictures are public domain so they can be used?

I've no idea of the legality of the advice but it sounded reasonable enough to me and it suited my purposes so back in they went :) , I'd gotten so used to looking at the images during development that the program just didn't look right without them.
