I'm going to explain here in more detail the situation with my Made in Abyss packs.  This will let me type it up once, and then link it in the individual posts.

First, why there is any issues.   For different reasons, the gender of two of the major characters is a bit ambiguous.   One is not ambiguous in the show itself, the other is deliberately ambiguous in the show, but the R34 artists for both have drawn both in both genders.  The two are Maruruk and Nanachi.

For Maruruk, he is canonically male.   The problem is that his sensei dresses him as a female maid, and he's fairly effeminate anyway.   So he "presents" female.

For Nanachi, they are deliberately ambiguous in the show as to their gender.   The author has expressly stated that they do not intend to declare Nanachi to be male or female canonically.   The fandom tends to treat them as more likely to be female, but canonically it is not known.

So for both of these there exists plenty of R34 showing them in each way.   For their own packs I will be using only female imagery, or images where it does not matter.  Non-R34 for instance does not matter.

For their appearances in the packs of other characters, if their sex is obvious in an image, it will be tagged according to the visible sex.   If not, I will generally tag Maruruk as male and Nanachi as female.

For example, an image of Riko (F) sucking either of the two's dick, the guest is tagged male.   An image of Riko fingering the pussy of either of the two would be tagged female (Lesbian or Bisexual).   An image of Riko + Guest sucking on Reg (M) with the guest's gender not visible would be tagged Group or Bisexual depending on who the guest was.  (Though in Maruruk's pack, since Maruruk will be assumed female there, the same image would be tagged Bisexual.)

For FederalAgent I wanna try some of your packs but why are they so heavy? 

For your information the problem with FederalAgent pack's its that he didn't resize the image for game usage so the original pic's are quite big. Some pic's are more then 2700x5400 pixel and was more then 25mb just 1 pic alone. Well i resized he's lastest pack if you want to try it out.

Yui Miyaoi (Fate)
This pack after resizing it to 1000x1000 what most older pack maker's use like Leortha it's became from the original ~900mb to nothing more then ~17mb in total.

Yeah I figured it was something like that. Thanks I will check it out.

i fucked up the conversion originally using XnConvert (don't know how) which retained their original filesize while also making them webp. pretty sure im just retarded and did some stupid shit. filesizes of all my packs should be reduced soon.

EDIT: can confirm i am retarded and checked some shit in XnConvert that retained filesize. original links on announcement thread should now be updated with much smaller packs (500mb>50mb, 2Gb-200mb, 500mb>70mb).
also added them to the google doc masterlist

well i was planning to make girl packs for Panty and Stocking from PSG relatively soon but then they went and announced a season 2 lmao.  prolly gonna wait till at least the new season starts airing before working on them if nobody picks them up before i get to it.

Yo, long time no see everyone. How much of a difference is there in the new version for packs compared to the old?

Not really a lot after the expanded tag set was created.   A few behaviors have been added. 

The biggest is the location tags.   Beach, Town, and Nature.   These, when combined with the Profile tag, help to limit the pics that are shown of the free girls around the game.   Beach pics only show up at seaside locations.  Town pics at urban locations.  And so on.

Also there is a beach side event that only triggers for a girl if they have a suitable Beach pic in their set.

Oh, and the Lesbian tag gets used in a few places, giving pack makers a use for all the gorgeous girl on girl pics that previously were discarded.

Finally lol - all of that time spent tagging those pics is coming in handy lol

gathered images for a shinobu kochou pack, buuut the tagging tool crashed 200 images away from finishing it out of nowhere which really took the wind out of my sails after spending the whole day on the pack so i just uploaded the untagged images to my mega if someone else wants to tag it.  probably needs another round of de-duping as well, noticed a lot that made it through visipic when i was tagging

[Leortha]

There is a solution for this.   Before you even start tagging, switch the tool to Browse mode, then click the button to cycle all pics.   The tool will go through loading every pic, and if any have issues with loading it will crash the cycle.   You can then see exactly what pic is the problem, and deal with it.  Wash, rinse, repeat.   Do not start actually tagging until you get a complete cycle without any crashes.

Before this cycle option was added I would regularly Commit changes every 50-100 pics, just to minimize the amount of loss if I hit a bad pic.   The tool also has a system to remember changes from before a crash, but it does not work all the time.   Worth a try to enter the tool once more after the crash to at least see if it remembers any of your tags.

didn't know about this, i'll keep it in mind for the future

knew about this, opened it up immediately after the crash to check and none of it was saved.  if nobody's desperate enough for the pack to tag it themselves, i will get back to it myself eventually just gonna have to make some other girl packs to reset my mind on this one before i do.

I remember a while back on the old board someone had set up a way to use the autocharamoments mod for Koikatsu to generate tons of images auto named for their role, such as waitress maid naked, I was interested in finding out how to do it, does anything have a record of the tread/post.

Our old forum went down without warning and we were only able to archive a few high-traffic threads/posts which remained cached by search engines & the wayback machine.

I remember the thread you're talking about, but can't find it in those places (it's a bit late now as well, the old forum is slowly disappearing from google's cache)

[Leortha]

Does the "image" tag have to use a url?

Yes.  It's whole purpose is to link in an image hosted elsewhere.   Imgur is the easiest place for that.

I love these girlpack with videos. May I ask with what you make them? Are there any limits I have to be aware of?
