Quote from: sjeongjin on Apr 25, 2024, 06:51 AMit seems like it means that making packs will become infinitely more difficult for people living in the US and UK

I don't know about other packmakers, but I've always preferred using a booru imageboard such as gelbooru as a source for my images, even if they're mostly reuploads that originally came from pixiv or other sources. All the images on a booru are pre-tagged which really speeds up the collecting & tagging process. So for my typical workflow this doesn't make much of a difference, as long as the artists can find a new way to secure their exposure/income. (edit: which could be a big if, ofcourse)

Back in the day I liked using Gelbooru too but nowadays I find that they ban most ai cg which I think has recently gotten to the point where some people can make images that basically 1 to 1 mimics the source making anime based packs especially better. The japanese yen is also dirt cheap so talented people on perftile were selling sometimes like 300 packs for as cheap as 3$, the downside being having to sort through thousands of images and running out of space on my hard drive lol. Packs that were impossible to make 3 years ago because of lack of images are possible to make now with quality that beats packs of the most popular characters made 3 years ago. Boorus also tend to have too much missing content especially uncensored or paid content like on fanbox which you can find on exhentai so usually I use gelbooru nowadays mainly for grabbing content sourced from twitter and stuff like nude filters which you wont find from pixiv.

I 100% get the speed part though, trying to finish tagging thousands of images is suffering.

I just find it a shame particularly because it feels like not a lot of people are making packs anymore even though for the past few months with the improvement of ai it feels like there's never been a better time to make packs and with pixiv and perftile self censoring derivative content that chance might just disappear. I've been tracking where a lot of artists have been going and for the most part its either been go to patreon where about 70% of them get banned for derivative content if they get caught and the rest going to gumroad where you pay 5$ per pack instead of 5$ for 100s.

All in all it feels like a regression to the days where only really popular characters have a chance to make semi decent packs.

I am currently working on incorporating these as official stats into the next release of the game.

One thing I noticed in the events of your mod is that some instances of the "Person Stats by List" operation are using the wrong input link. About a year ago, we changed the operation to have a "Get Average" and "Get Median" input instead of just a "Get" input. The auto-fixing functionality that upgrades the operation to the new variant should take care of changing existing operations that link to it to "point one input link further down", so that they are still going into the "Add" input.
However, some of the operations in the events modified by your mod are not doing that, despite already having 4 input links. That means we have events that will just perform a "Get Median" on the person list when they are actually intended to "Add" stats to the persons. Not sure if that was also already an issue in the public release of the original events or only in your mod.

Hey there! So how does the Enrollment mod work?
Because I can't find an "Expell" option in any student's "School" Dialog category.
Am I missing anything?
I tried it with minimal mods (Generic Person Context Core + DC's School Enrollment)
with pregnancy mod
with Lexville.
Nothing seems to work.

Ah, ok.  Have you loaded the game with all mods active since the start of the game, or have you added any mods to the an existing game?  Both will have different things happen.

My suggestion would be:

• Open the game like normal
• Once loaded and you see your Principal on the screen, click Debug
• Select Modules tab
• Arrange the order so that pregnancy is above the PD_New mods
• Click "Check for errors"

If any errors pop up after all modules are loaded and checked, give us list of the modules you have enabled and in which order so we can recheck on our side if something is glitched.

After dealing with the modules, I would then:

• Select Reload Events tab
• Click "Add changed events"
• When the list populates (anything that was changed at the file level outside of the game or loaded since adding a mod to an existing save), click "Refresh Files"
• Select a line of the list, hit CTRL-A and select "Remove" (Doesn't remove them from game, just this list)
• Click "Add changed events" (Should come up empty)
• Select Reload Game Objects tab
• Click "Add Changed Objects"
• same as steps 3-5

Ok, I see where my mix up in your question was.  There are only a few ways to interact with NPCs.  To break it down as simply as I am able with less confusion about communication:

• Ask About Job (+1 friendship for adults if not already known)
• Ask about Hobbies (+5 Friendship) (Hobbies don't change, repeat asks tells the NPC you don't care enough to remember)
• Ask if they need anything (+10 Friendship when item given) (Average of 3 times per person 3 day cooldown between opportunities.  Cannot be done if NPC has a ! by their name, indicating a quest to be completed)
• Ask for birthday (+Relationship at 15-19 Friendship (1 Heart), otherwise no change)

By this time, you should have an indicator of what Archetype of person they are.  Use that for your first flirt.  Done successfully, you'll gain +10 Friendship and +1 Relationship.  Unsuccessful flirt here will give +5 Friendship instead.  Flirting can be done once daily, whether successful or not - UNLESS you choose "I don't know what to do" at your first choice, which causes no change.  Somewhat like real life, using all of your flirty powers at once in the beginning would probably turn someone off from interacting with you.  Unlike reality, you won't get tossed/fought/arrested for being an overly aggressive sexual predator.

After a certain point of relationship, if your NPC has high enough attraction to you (based on their gender preferences) and arousal, you can ask them to visit your home (Dating).  This will speed up your relationship growth with them immensely, depending on what you do during the date and how long it lasts.

If you don't want to deal with the relationship side of the game, you can instead just give them the gifts they ask for every few days.  When you hit 35 Friendship (or 4 hearts if you don't want numbers), you can ask for their phone number, after which you can call them from your smartphone once a day for increases in Friendship, loyalty, lust, and (possibly) low relationship.  This can still increase their friendship to max at 100.

As for making money, here are the ways that I am aware of:

• Up to 3 days a week, work at the restaurant.  Pay dependent on effort.
• Place spycams in various locations.  Requires spycam in inventory to have a chance to fire, some locations depend also on time since room open or quest events to occur.  Pay dependent on average corruption/attractiveness/inhibition of your students.  Pays weekly.
• When opened and expanded into the Cabaret, the Cooking, Music and Theater clubs all generate over $1k per month last I looked, offset by rental cost of Cabaret.  SPE pays ok, but low.  Pays weekly.
• Once your Photoshop skill is over 20, visit the beach to start the Newspaper photo chain.  Based on skill, every few days can do another assignment for $250, 500, or $800 when completed. Three payments at each level.
• If you have found the missing student and brought her to your basement, after they are fully trained and you have unchained them (option available with Lexville mod), you can send them out to work for up to 8 hours in a specific location for a passive income nightly, based on the number of customers.  RNG based.
• If you continually visit the adult ads and give wine with each visit, eventually you can have both prostitutes working and paying you.
• If you have your sister Annette move in with you, eventually you will have an opportunity to hack her computer, and blackmail her into paying rent via webcamming from her room at night.  Increases by $25 per weekly event, no upper limit (she's currently paying $350 a week in one of my saves).  Pays weekly.
• Based on how many students are enrolled, your reputation, and how high the education level, the more the State Funding you receive each month.  If your cash balance is less than $5k and more than $0 at the time you read the letter and you have improved over the previous month, you can get a bonus as well.  Pays monthly.

Your student population grows based on your reputation, the education score, and the average student happiness.  If you want to make it grow more quickly, try DC's School Enrollment mod, allowing you to enroll students you meet "in the wild".

Finally, to the paraphrased question:  Yes, this is a gradual game.  The events only occur based on stats that are grown by the classes you choose to teach, clubs you choose to open, and occasional events around town.  If you don't want a lusty, corrupted student body, avoid teaching classes that will increase those stats.  However, by doing so you will be pushing most events designed into the game back in time, until you reach those necessary levels.  The game is yours to play how you want.  If you want to hire every teacher, open the lab as early as possible, and run every event as soon as you can, you will quickly fail from not having enough money.  Choose your priority and go from there.  Students will learn through the day even if you aren't there - random events will simply skew that class slightly one way or the other depending on what happened.  That's also why they have the time skip buttons at the top - you don't have to be "present" every minute of every day.

There are other guides/help posts that break down what stats each class taught affects and by how much.

As far as blocking certain events, unfortunately not all events have content block events coded in, so they will still fire even if you have that particular fetish blacklisted.  My recommendation would be to open debug, select debug events, and at the top check the box that says "Show event name".  When a random event fires, it will be at the top in the program title.  Write down that event name and give us a list to get to of what fetish it should be checking for so that they can be updated - or search the event in the debug events section, open it up, and in the window that comes up add a content check to the try phase.

Sadly no... The majority of the errors are suppressed but there is this one...

I'm guessing you are not having any actual errors, as all of these are Suppressed errors - meaning they are deliberately hidden because they are not in use, the first two being a different code structure that has a simpler structure in use, and the rest either being a Work In Progress (WIP) or old script layout.

If you are having an issue where everyone looks like a blackface imposter, close the game, go to the modules section, and move the PD_New mods (Head and Body) to be at the bottom of the list.  Other than that, please give specific events that cause these to pop up.  Hope that helps some!

Student with Susan Hooter bear likes to violate nude uniform policies at school. I tend to put that bear on Mandy Meyers. She is the only student dressed up in class. At the same time Mrs Hooter shows that she can follow uniform policies that apply only to students and comes to work with only pantyhose. There is lexville mod installed, but I think she was acting same way in stock game.

Text wrapping in Teacher assignment screen can activate scrollbar and changes in lower screen portion size when hovering over subject. Some subjects might be difficult to select in lower resolution (1024x768) and for some reason paragraphs get line feeds in the middle of sentence when there is enough space to continue text on same line.

image on the right is after mouse hovering over Math.

From small screen perspective Teacher assignment screen got way too many tips and help displayed on screen.

For the pet play mod, make it an alternate path for Ronda Bells. Also, instead of a teacher, a student.
