Town of Magic [Ongoing] - Version: 0.70.005

Walkthrough and Guide

Less Grinding Mod: FILEKNOT - ANONZIP

Less Grinding Mod Installation:

Note:
You'll need to unlock the Tailor and maybe also go to bed before the new clothing options appear.

Windows, Mac, and probably Linux:
1. Acquire the game and extract to your desired location.
2. Download UnRen-forall (or whatever your preferred unren program is or which is appropriate for your OS) and place the bat in the Town of Magic main folder (where the exe is)
3. Run your UnRen program, extract only the rpa files, and choose to delete the rpa files when prompted (or manually delete them if your unren program doesn't have the prompt)
4. Download the mod, place it in the Town of Magic main folder, right-click, and choose "extract here"
-optional- If you only want the grind-reduction aspect, open the 'game' folder and delete [initiate_variables_clothes.rpy] and [renpy_reset_day.rpy].

Less Grinding Mod Features:

Implemented:
- Underwear and nude and commando/braless are added as separate outfits in the equip screen. Nude still has an invisible, strippable layer. *Underwear-only is bugged as of v0.65.004. I've removed it but left the framework in place should it ever magically fix itself (or the game reaches full release and it makes more sense to go all in on the mod).*
- Battle rewards (gold, XP, SP) are increased by around 50%.
- The common chest base-probability was reduced by 60%. Chests still spawn at the same rate, but you're far less likely to need to actively grind an area multiple times to get all the rare drops.
- Enemies which can cum do so twice as fast.
- You can install just the grind-reducing aspect. This makes your save fully forwards compatible so you don't need to wait on me if you want to play new updates asap.

To-Do (if I ever have time):
- Make cursed equipment affect Nel? It's low. low priority though since I'm a bad programmer.
- Figure out a more elegant way to increase battle rewards instead of just editing each enemy's entry. Editing the rewards formula didn't seem to do anything.
- Make all equipment toggle-able? It'd be nice to have the option to go commando without needing to add a second copy of all trousers/skirts, but simply setting each piece of clothing to toggle-able makes the strip mechanic bug out.
- Scratch that, I'm just going to add a second copy of most tops and bottoms so you can go braless/commando.
- Clean things up so only the game's base images are used. Done, but legacy saves don't update.
- Maybe add a bracelet or something which significantly increases cooldown and arcane. Done, but it's an invisible hat.
- Trouble-shoot adding an Android version, since it's unfortunately more involved than simply clicking "export". Impossible since I now directly edit the game files instead of using Renpy.
