@A Kitten Sounds more like a new issue, maybe recent updates changed something. I’ll look into it
A Kitten Nov 18 @ 3:57pm 
Strange I just checked my settings and it is unchecked is there any known issues that you know of that would cause this problem?
Sim0nG 「狐」  [author] Nov 18 @ 5:33am 
@A Kitten "Consume on use" should be unchecked
A Kitten Nov 17 @ 9:51pm 
hi! totally missed over that settings oops! is it supposed to be checked or unchecked in order for it to not use it upon me reading it?
Sim0nG 「狐」  [author] Nov 17 @ 9:41am 
@A Kitten configs can be edited via Sandbox Options. They're available only when playing in the Custom Sandbox playstyle. All related settings are in the "Manga Packs" tab

Gabe Uttsex Nov 12 @ 6:26am 
Not sure why but this mod is creating crashes and return to main menus.
Red_ghost88 Nov 8 @ 7:42am 
may you add 86
Chiiro Nov 7 @ 8:53am 
Thank you for changing it from "vol # name" to "name vol #"!
frost1eaf Nov 7 @ 5:39am 
can you add Girls' Frontline manga please?
Sim0nG 「狐」  [author] Nov 6 @ 4:42pm 
@Kuragboom Added. I believe I got all the arcs right
Mi.Aponeeon Nov 2 @ 1:15am

@face I've fixed a sorting function. Should be compatible now!
Sim0nG 「狐」  [author] Oct 19 @ 4:17pm 
@Jiopaba It is using lexicographical sorting, which is why the order is weird.
Unless I want to rewrite the vanilla sorting logic, adding leading zeros is the only (as far as i know) way to fix it. It'll look awkward for the bigger titles though :seriousboss:
Jiopaba Oct 19 @ 3:20pm 
The sorting is actually still slightly off even with that, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to just throw leading zeroes on everything? At least all my manga sorts with its own type. It's kind of fun to mess with, changing the translation files since there's like a thousand lines.
Sim0nG 「狐」  [author] Oct 19 @ 2:14pm 
@face Thank you for the feedback! I'll look into this for the next hotfix as well
Sim0nG 「狐」  [author] Oct 19 @ 2:10pm 
@Jiopaba Great suggestion! I completely forgot how sorting works :megshock: I'll fix the names in the next hotfix.
Packing sounds cool too, but I'll have to push it to a separate update since I'll need to patch my tools for that
Jiopaba Oct 19 @ 10:58am 
The change I just described sounded like it'd be a pain in the butt, so I wrote some RegEx to do it automatically if you throw ItemName_EN into Notepad++ or similar text editor.

Find: "(Vol. \d+)( )([^"]*)
Replace: "\3, \1

That will find Volume Number, a blank space that needs to be removed, and then Volume Title, and then reorders them to go Title -> Volume Number. In case anyone else wants to try it out.
Jiopaba Oct 19 @ 10:39am 
Really neat mod. I think my only suggestions would be: the ability to pack up completed series' of manga like you can package other stuff in B42 now. And changing the order of the names.

If you have 300 assorted volumes of manga, they sort in the most naive alphabetical way possible. 1 -> 10 -> 11 -> 14 -> 26 -> 4 -> 51 -> 8.

I think it'd make a lot more sense for it to be "Naruto: Vol. 1" or even "Naruto 1" instead of "Vol 1. Naruto" so that the same series sorts with itself.

Hey, first of all — amazing mod!
I really love Read Your Manga, it adds so much personality and immersion to Project Zomboid.
The UI looks great and the idea of collecting and reading manga is just awesome.

However, I ran into a small issue when using this mod together with Bigger Character Avatar.
When I open the manga/literature tab, the game throws an error:
__lt not defined for operand (in LiteratureUI.lua, line 130).

After that, the manga list doesn’t load and the UI freezes.
It seems the sorting function mangaSort() is trying to compare invalid or nil values when sorting the manga list.
Probably just a small compatibility issue between the two mods that can be fixed by adding a simple type check before comparing.

Thanks a lot for creating this mod — it’s really one of the most creative reading mods out there!

Adding this mod solely because it has gantz thank you!
KemonoAmigo Sep 22 @ 3:45pm 
@Sim0nG 「狐」Legend :steamthumbsup:

I see. There's probably a way but I don't really want to mess around with .class files right now.
Sim0nG 「狐」  [author] Sep 20 @ 1:05pm 
@KemonoAmigo Added suggestions in the latest update.
Spawn rates are handled separately from the base game and can be tweaked in the config files. You can technically disable other item spawns by hand and bump up spawn-related config values.
However, I'm not sure if there are any tools or mods which allow you to control specific item spawns without editing existing source files :seriousboss:
KemonoAmigo Sep 19 @ 4:20pm 
Also, is there a way to replace every non-skill book and magazine in the game with these without decreasing the spawn rate of other types of items?
KemonoAmigo Sep 19 @ 4:13pm 
I personally only leave the more modern titles to spawn, haha. I don't know pretty much any manga or anime prior to 1993 except for the very well known ones.


Anyway some of my favorites if you have the time:

- Laid-Back Camp (I'd love this in an apocalypse scenario to escape reality)
- Super Cub (ditto)
- Log Horizon
- Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense
- Mashle

Thank you.

DigitalGhost Jul 17 @ 1:33am 
Is the Berserk manga the originals or the deluxe editions? It'd be so based if you had both. Also if you add BLAME! and Gunsmith Cats.
