What size is...

As I'm do a refactoring of the breasts code to script, I also decided to do a small research on wiki about sportive standards - to be sure that actual size comparisons will be right. This a table with compilation of sizes of some balls used in the various sportive games. I'll plan to correct comparison tables with these values:

Name              Diameter     Radius           Range used in game

Golf ball           4.5cm         2.2cm              2-3
Tennis ball       6.7cm         3.3cm              3-3.5
Baseball           7.4cm         3.7cm              3.5-4
Handball          17cm          8.5cm              4-9
Volleyball         21cm         10.5cm             9-11
Bowling ball     21.5cm       10.7cm             ?10-11
Football           22cm          11cm                ?10.5-11.5
Basketball        23cm          11.5cm            11-13
Exercise ball    35-85cm     17.5-42.5cm     17-50
Beach ball        100cm        50cm               50-9999

As you can see, there is some gaps and intersections in this table. Intersections is not a problem, but gaps need to be filled with something. Maybe some fruits will do. :)

  1. Fruits are ok, just please, in this context, avoid bananas...

    :)

    Actually I am very impressed with the work you are doing with research and that you keep us informed.

  2. Actually 2500cm/2500 would be the Epcot Centre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_Earth_(Epcot)
    16cm/16 is very rough human head size
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_head
    35cm/35 would be one person beanbag size http://www.amazon.com/Ace-Bayou-Bean-Bag-Chair/dp/B001T4XTRW
    25cm/25 would be body sized according to http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=volume+human+body http://www.handymath.com/cgi-bin/solidsphere.cgi

  4. If i calculate correctly, range in game is about the same as radius in cm, then you can add some more references in range 50-9999. Like hot air balloon, small ones go from 5m diameter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_balloon)

    1. You are almost right, but very small and very big sizes have few nuances. For breasts, measurement for this value is a line between flat chest virtual line (it's virtual as it under the breasts mass), and top point of breast. If value is small, like "2", it's not meant that breasts base do not cover their supposed place on the chest. It's only means that breasts almost flat.
      For very big sizes, value become more like diameter then radius, as the base of breasts become smaller than their diameter.

      Breast cup sizes now have it's own separate stat calculated other way. It's actual difference between underbust and breasts circumference measurements. This method will work good for breasts smaller than H-cup - K-cup, but bigger sizes not so obvious.

  5. I'm personally a bit worried about the implications of "football-sized" as I'd wager there's plenty of people who'd assume that you mean "american football" which obviously involves an egg-shaped ball. That's definitely a strange mental image, to be honest.

    Also:
    -Plum
    -Orange
    -Grapefruit
    -Cantaloupe
    -Watermelon
    -Pumpkin

    1. As you can see, I set "?" in the table for two lines - it's meant that I not sure if it will be used. :)

  6. Your game, your rules. As I've said before, breast size seems to be one of the harder things to decide on how to emulate. You are the first I've seen that wants to try and do it as close to realistic as possible, though where's the fun in that? (~_^)

    So does that mean the description call for breast sizes has changed a little bit? I've decided to start tackling the sex scenes and I have a question that is related to this as well.

    Sample: Client grabs proxy's [size] breasts. I want to put a call in there to reference proxy's current breast size. How would that be written out so the program understands that I want it to display the current size of breasts, and/or in the case of males/herms, the current size of their cock.

      I see the fun in the difference between close to real descriptions and calculations, and possible in the game world changes. :) Realistic descriptions - not a limitation to the various fantasy events. It's just a tool for the more detailed game world.

      >So does that mean the description call for breast sizes has changed a little bit?

      No, call not changed, if it's done as intended. Constructions with direct calling DescriptionRange in scripts - is a old method that I used before adding a new, more easy variant. With it, You sample just should look like this:

      Client grabs proxy's [=proxy][breasts].

      [=proxy] - this tag tell parser that all next descritions tags will be about proxy character. Not display anything, even a space.
      [breasts] - display somethnig like "A-cup breasts", "Beachball-sized boobs" etc.

      The same method can be used for other organs:
      [belly]
      [penis]
      [balls]
      [vagina]
      [hips] (not ready)

      Actually simple tags (as I call them) do not do anything by themselves, parser just replace them with actual scripts before processing event scripts. You can see list of currently existed tags by pressing "Simple Tag" button on the development panel. For now posibility to edit this list and add you own tags still blocked to ensure that compatibility will be not broken, but later I unblock it.

      For example: [=proxy] is replaced with <%c=proxy; "";%> script, [breasts] - with the <%Include("c_od/breasts");%>
      So, if you ever need to show breast description for the custom character created in you script, it can be done:
      <%c=custom_character_variable; "";%>[breasts]

      And you can suggest new tags to be added by me right now.

    2. I think I understand now. I will take a look at the the list to see what you have for tags. To be honest, I think you should never unblock them unless you plan on stop developing the game yourself for the very reason you have said, ensuring that compatibility is not broken. There are only so many points on the human body that would need simple tags, unless you start introducing playable kemonomimi. Even then that would only include the possibility of tails. Is there any future plans of playable kemonomimi?

    3. Playable and not playable is no different in the game. ANY character that have full DNA is can be playable.
      And yes, kemonomimi are planned. Catgirls that already in the game in the forest is something like a early test. :)
