Good morning (0600hrs here waiting for coffee to finish brewing).
Let's get some pings addressed:

@Sancho1969 I'm getting the message "Mod not installed correctly" in the lower left of the main menu screen.
I've installed a clean version 0.10.0 of the game (mac, including fixing the execute bits, a more common RenPy issue of late) and your mod - nothing else - and have confirmed that the mod files are in the correct location.
Any clues on what to look for?
See post here and do exactly that for Win/Mac/Linux and report back please.
I did exactly that in a new location from the game and mod zips as DL'd from Mega, which is how I had installed it in the first place.
The only change to any files was setting the execute bit, which I've seen as being unset on more RenPy games of late:
cmmod +x /tmp/BeingADIK-0.10.0-macOS/BeingADIK_Season3/BeingADIK.app/Contents/MacOS/*

Behavior same as before: "Mod not installed correctly"

You've asked for a hero.
You've wondered if it's possible to be an MMA master.
Well, how 'bout this little ditty?

I changed line 969 of screens.rpy to just "if True:" and it's fine. Interestingly, I don't see any .rpyc files, maybe something to keep in mind.
I didn't build the stock VN's packages in the VN's thread bud. You found that rpy via the original .app packaging, not the mod. That said you best be careful, if you blow the entire app package open the mod is going to get really pissed off. I only offer tech support for the PC build tbh, so be cautious with the app file as you are venturing off on your own if you fuck around too much. Cool?

No problem, I'm pretty used to both game and mod devs focusing on Windows - that's why so many of the games need twiddling of the execute bits, because they never actually got tested. And I'm not scared of hacking around in python, so many games are buggy it just seems to come with the territory.
I may try it on my Windows machine to see where it lays down the .rpyc files - or not - but the Mac is just so much faster, and I'm a Unix guy so it's a more natural command-line environment for me.
Cheers!

We need an 'Auto' mode for science class. Man, what a shit class. I don't know if you've already done it and will come in a future update, I haven't read your old posts. I'm just stopping by to thank you for the mod, I could only finish Ep.10 today and your mod was perfect, I didn't find any flaws. Thank you again.
Any other requests? :p

Not going to ace it like the others tests? Will have to play it manually if I want 100%? I'm guiding the MC into being an honor student, with better grades than even the Tri-Betas. :LOL:

Nope. I've played this damn game... the MC is far from a genius so there's no way in hell I'm going to offer him and easy path to acing the whole semester. :ROFLMAO:

Okay folks, that's got these main issues/requests/goals knocked off the ever growing pending changelog list:
  • Disco lights save fixer and fast travel corrections.
  • Music player default dev's coded features embellished to work proper (no more restarting the VN) and corrected the mod not saving "favorites". Works fully with out without the OG Music Mod (instructions in the OP) automatically.
  • Added more SanchoNotes to the ChoiceGuide as deemed appropriate.
  • Added Brawler cheat plus difficulty setting adjustment.
  • Added Science Class cheat plus difficulty setting adjustment.
What's on the back burner for now:
  • Fish minigame - feed your own damn fish.
  • Pong minigame - really? bounce your own damn ball.
  • PartyPlanner - fuck my life... plan your own damn party for now.
:ROFLMAO::p
I'll take a smoke break outside, kick the dog (again, it's terminology, don't fucking freak out!), and start getting the maintenance update processed.

Fish minigame is not much more challenging than watering the plant Jamie gives MC, anyways. Ping Pong minigame is harder to lose in than win sometimes. :oops:

Party planner is easy using this console command at the perk selection list:
pp_perk_list=[True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, False]

For the budget:
pp_money=insert desired amount here

Problem: that makes for what is impossible via normal playthrough, something that no SanchoCheat does. I've coded every single cheat from the beginning of S1 so as to only be an outcome that could be made the same way via non-cheating.

Exceptions are the DIK and Money cheats... but I got so much heat and toxic posts because I didn't have them originally that I caved and made them anyway. I did make them as safe as possible though (which still pisses some folks off but fuck 'em, I'm saving them from themselves).

What I'm getting at is that when I make the PartyPlanner it will be like the Mansion minigame cheat... it will be both elaborate and safe no matter what Pink does in the future. Bottom line: the ending result in the PartyPlanner are obvious from the dev's code that there is no accounting for perfection... which tells me he's going to check it later. It won't be me in that crossfire if I can help it.

I'm not wagging my finger at you, just explaining my method on creating cheats for this particular VN.

it took me ages and multiple playthroughs to find that fucking plant :ROFLMAO: Thought it was supposed to be in my room, but nope, so it's permanently dead now (I suppose I could look up the variable?). Same with the ladder to the roof, had no idea where to look for it, but found it today.

It's impossible to get a "S" ranking without cheating? Otherwise even with all perks on, every DIK is not 100% happy.

I appreciate the caution and agree with it for the mod, since it aims to be a pure play alternative. I'll risk it and deal with the consequences if they do happen.

:ROFLMAO: Easy to get that confused, since Jamie does give MC that bigger plant for his room in Episode 8.

The other thing that's been working against me is I want to auto-populate the planning board with a push of a button... and Pink made some of the "pieces" random which means more coding work for me to check each piece on the grid. Then I need to read each DIK's happiness, pick the lowest portion of those and stress on them to keep the whole group within a reasonable range. There's other things to account for as well but that's what it will take if I do it the way I envision... is is populating everything on a per grid basis and not just clicking a button, getting "S" rank and the closing screen.

I want it to be automated, animated, and cool like the S2 Mansion cheat which is epic in my biased opinion.

Same with the ladder to the roof,
At the last minute for the initial Ep10 mod release I added a "Ladder" notification if that particular magazine was missing but I elected to not tell the Player where the ladder is so they still had some skin in the game. :ROFLMAO:
