Immersive dining

This is my modular version of Khione's classic mod "NPC Schedule Enhanced". This module makes the dining scene in the auditorium more interesting and immersive.

✨ Development of this module has stopped on **November 21, 2024**. It has been merged with all my other "Immersive" mods into a single mod called **"Immersive ModPack"**. If you plan on installing all four of my immersive mods, just install the Immersive ModPack. Otherwise (or your computer has a low configuration and may not be able to run the integration package), you are free to install individual modules that interest you.

🍽️ Module Introduction

The NPC Schedule Enhanced mod by Khione is excellent, but there were some things I wanted to do differently. After a year of procrastination since Khione no longer seems to be actively developing or supporting the vanilla mod, I finally decided to create my own version.

**Why make it a module? ** There are several reasons:

• **Performance Considerations**: These modules are very resource intensive, and low-end systems may not be able to run all modules at the same time. Users can install only the most desired modules according to their needs.
• **Easy to Manage**: Each module contains 200 to 1000 lines of SQL code and is very complex. Separating them helps me clear my mind.
• **Independent Updates**: I can update each module individually and the user only needs to install the updates that affect the functionality they are interested in.

*Professors, students, and ghosts are leaving breakfast. *

✨ Brand new features

• 🧒 **Younger students** will now attend meals.
• 👤 **Named NPCs** now participate in some meals (although they don't sit down).
• ⏰ **Meal Time** now matches meal sound effects (sounds of students chatting and eating).
• 👨‍🏫 **Professors** will attend the meal if you also install the Immersive Classroom module.
• 👻 **Ghosts** now attend breakfast and dinner (excluding lunch). Some pretended to eat, some just stood and chatted.
• 🚶‍♂️ **At the end of the meal**, the professor and some students (mainly the more disciplined younger students) will get up and leave.
• 📚 **Study Hall Time**: Some students will do "study hall" and socialize in the Great Hall between meals (like we saw in the HP movie). Food is sometimes provided.

⚠️ Important prerequisites!

In the game's default settings, 1 game day = 48 real-life minutes (game time is 30 times longer than real-life). This causes problems because it can take a student or professor 2 real-life minutes to walk from one end of the castle to the other, which equates to **60 game minutes**! It's impossible to create a realistic schedule if it takes an hour to walk from classroom to classroom or go to the auditorium for lunch.

Therefore, **You MUST** install the following mods and set the game day to **3.2 real-life hours (or more)**. This way, traversing the castle only takes about 15 game minutes, making the schedule feasible.

• ⏳ Time Dilator

❗ None of my immersive mods work properly without this mod installed.

📅 Schedule

• **Student Breakfast** = 06:00 - 08:00 | **Professor Breakfast** = 06:15 - 07:45 (Monday to Friday)
• **Student self-study** = 08:00 - 12:30
• **Student Lunch** = 12:30 - 13:30 | **Professors do not attend lunch**
• **Student self-study** = 13:30 - 18:30
• **Student Dinner** = 18:30 - 20:30 | **Professor Dinner** = 18:30 - 20:00 (Monday to Friday)
