I've uploaded my mod (0.29b (MC)) to MediaFire (4.3GB). Link below.

I'd have liked to have tested it more, but that's always how I feel when I release software. There's probably nothing major wrong with it but I'm confident someone will find a way to break something pretty quickly. (BTW, I haven't seen the save game problems some forum members are reporting but they're more than likely to affect the mod as well as the vanilla version).

The README file is attached.

tl;dr?

The important bit is -

If you want to ask questions, offer feedback or report bugs in this mod via F95Zone please put “*** Version 0.29b (MC) ***” at the top of your post so Ninoss and I aren’t distracted by issues from each other’s versions. Or you can use the ‘Conversations’ option to contact me privately.
I won't have a lot more time to spend on this (more on that in my next post) but I'll try to check the forum once a day for the next few days then once a week for a month or so after that. I can't guarantee I'll get back quickly on anything though.

My calendar's pretty full for a few months and I won't be able to spend a lot of time on the WTM Academy mod. I expect to start working on my own Ren'py game from October or November and will abandon WTM Academy then.

In the meantime I'll be able to do a bit of work on the mod, but not everything I had planned. So I've gotta prioritise stuff.

First will be fixing any bugs I find or someone else reports. After that there's a few options.

1) I can add data to the mod to try to make it more enjoyable and balanced. That would mostly be adding vids and photoshoots to existing girls (including the Vanilla girls I took out of the mods because they had very little data) and adding a few more girls to better meet the needs of the more specialised sponsors in the mod. I'd also improve the quality of earlier data I added (I've learned a bit about it since then).

The upside is I'll make steady progress and won't abandon anything half finished. Unlike options 2 and 3 this will probably be useful to Ninoss's future versions as well.

The downside is most of you can probably do that yourself (some already do) and it would take my time away from tasks no-one else would likely take on.

2) I can add a simple feature I've been thinking about that adds 'Photoclub sound system' to the PTA rules. It would play .mp3 files during photoshoots and increase the 'willingness' of girls to do the shoots. The mp3s would be associated with specific photoshoots, particular students or a general playlist - depending on which folder they're placed in. I'd provide some mp3s as examples along with simple instructions for loading your own preferred tracks into the game. If you switch the music off or delete all the mp3s to save space the girls would still get the willingness bonus.

The upside is I'm pretty sure I complete this fairly quickly. Probably a few weeks.
The downside is it's mostly cosmetic and contributes little to gameplay.

3) I can try to complete the 'Go for a walk'/encounters mod I've been working on. It would enable quite a few new interactions with girls and sponsors that would effect gameplay, including admitting graduated students back into the Academy. I could concentrate on one sub-feature at a time, so I'd deliver something. (I've already completed some minor ones that I didn't include in this version of the mod). But it's fairly likely I won't have time to implement the whole thing or provide much support after I upload it.

The upside is it would add considerable variation to the game-play.
The downside is it will take more time, is unlikely to be fully implemented and may not be delivered until after Ninoss has already taken the vanilla version down another track.

I'm not asking people to vote on this, but I'll consider any feedback about it when prioritising the work.

As with the mod itself, please either put “*** Version 0.29b (MC) ***” at the top of your comments or use the F95Zone notification system (the envelope icon next to your username) to respond to this so Ninoss and I can immediately tell whether you're talking about the vanilla version or the mod.

The photoshoot mechanic doesn't make a lot of sense to me but I can understand why other people like it.

Someone please either add sex addiction into the game as a mechanic in the base game or mod please. Right now the girls eventually get smart enough and just graduate and leave which I think is opposite for what we're trying to do right?

I found the mods docs and trying right now on building some simple hypnosis events but already running into the most important issue of not having images. Are there other hypno/mind control fans out there that recommend images that could be used?

What are the maximum numbers for corruption, affection, etc? Can I create my own stat as well?

I'm not sure what exactly is happening, but it seems like a girls stats don't update properly if she leaves the classroom before the exam ends. easiest way to see this is you just grope the titties of girl number 1 again and again until she leaves the room and then do the same for girl number 2 but you stop before her pressure gets to high that way she stays until the end. if you check their stats the next day girl number 1 will have basicly the same stats where girl number 2 will have higher corruption. I attach some before&after stat pics for "evidence"

Trying to mod the game and I'm wondering what the difference is between to_variable and variable in the girl class. They seem to both be used but not sure which is for what. Should I use selectedGirl.to_corruption or selectedGirl.corruption when updating after an exam event?

to_corruption is the temp variable for the exam, .corruption is the actual stat.
You should modify to_ during exam, it will be converted at the end of it to "real" corruption.

I've found a workaround for now. I marked the parts of the code that i added/removed. Unfortunately this solution makes it so the girls that leave the classroom now don't get an summary at the end anymore, the ones that say: "Left because to horny".
But at least these girl seem to get their stats updated now

So I tinkered with adding some kind of hypnosis into the game and I'm looking for some feedback if this makes sense from everyone.

- added "trance" during an exam to increase corruption and arousal while decreasing pain
- added "brain drain" to make them edge during an exam and set their into to zero but only works at very high corruption. Gives huge boost to arousal.
- added a brainwash option when talking with mothers that sets their 3 stats to max and doesn't require anything (fast way to corrupt them, thats all)

Going to keep working on it and the next thing I want to build is a "play hypnotic music" option for an event for all during exams. It will arouse and corrupt all the girls there.

PROBLEMS
- I had to add code to scripts/storyEvents/lb_evening_visit.rpy because I didn't know how to add mothers content to the mods. If someone can explain to me how to do that I would be grateful.
- I need a lot more hypnosis pictures relevant to the girls getting hypnotized in webm format so if you have them in webm format please send them. I don't want them in any other format because I have to manually convert them myself. Please help.
- Not sure how deep into hypnosis enslavement the community wants for events/features so I'll keep working on this for myself unless others have ideas/images they want to feed me in order to keep the hypnosis train going.

Moving the improveStats() call up into the "retrospective" function seems to fix it.

Alternatively you can just move the "retrospective" function call above the for loop.

On a related note what environment would one need to set up to probably mod the game, i saw no mentions in the README. I have never done anything with Ren'Py before.

Ninoss How do I add an exam event for all the girls to the side of the screen? I'm trying to add another global event but it doesn't add to the side of the screen when I create

Python:
label event_hypnotizeGirls:
    call exameventSetup from _call_exameventSetup_global_4
    
    ....code goes here
in the file lb_examevents.rpy. Do I have to initialize it somewhere?

You need to register it in DB.py

That's what I thought but I don't know how given it is a _global event and I don't see the others listed there. I want to add another option to the list on the side of the screen under "pass time" "encourage the girls" and "disturb the girls" as a new option for exams.

I found the line of code in screens.rpy and changed it so now I have a new option on the menu for the exam... and I just realized my the images I have are in webp format ffs. How can I convert them over?

Oh yes your right, that's actually hard coded in sc_screens.rpy for now ><

You can do a DB_examChoices["Global"].append() in your mod script, will be implemented next update.
Patched files attached.

Batch converting is a pain in the butt unless you have a probgrom on your PC that can do it and they cost money. However, we are not on a site where this is a problem and I can freely tell you to look on Pirate bay for "Any Video Converter Professional". It'll sort those webp files out for ya.
