@GFreenD did you do that testing on the b42 or 41?
im still playing 41 till 42 stable

did some debuging this mod does nothing in newerst version and it cant spawn half the things listed in description and many of them that you can find/spawn are already the ones that exist in vanila (making duplicates of different names)

god damn i cant find your books anywhere so this mod is ether not working or they spawn in some specific locations (riverside did not had a single book of your mod)

your books do not spawn in "universitylibrary" rooms (5 floors in Louisville), is that intentional?

i also noticed that some of the books from the mod are in the game, making a book collection that much more annoying to build up, as i cant be sure which books i have which series of.

Hey @SNeicer
as for the books that are already in the game.
Aiming
Reloading
Maintenance
Long blade
Some of your books duplicate existing ones, maybe they should be removed for build 42?

when i try "additem EBAxe1" command it dosent work. It says item does not exist, but when i check mod enabled it is on my server. Odd.

How can I increase the chance of books appearing? I only get 2-4 in the library.

Does this support Multiplayer/MP ?

Could you give color to these book? I know there a mod out there for it, but it would help shorten mod list a bit, also if we move to B43 someday, ppl wont have to port the colored mod

another person and i cant read the books despite my friends on same server can read it. another friend and i both have fast reader yet he can still read it. an thoughts? this has happened for 3 wipes

Created a new addon for the mod, since I went to the Louisville University Library and couldn't find any of your books, don't know if was intended or not, but if wasn't, here you go.

No, all new skills have vanilla books

Hey
There are new skills in mod from b42?

ok

Well its not extra books mod, its duplicate xp mod the correct mod name... Idk why i wasting my time here...

Vanilla books give only half of original xp multiplier and long blade book is broken. I will not remove duplicates until B42 goes stable.

duplicated books, no reason to have firearms and other weapons that allready on vanilla 42...

I understand that halved XP multipliers for vanilla books are intentional and that long blade book will eventually work as intended, but until B42 releases in stable I won't be modifying the mod. Besides, I tried using both vanilla and custom books at the same time and nothing seems to be broken, so there is barely any reason to remove the books.

When B42 releases in stable I will look into this issue again. Who knows, maybe the devs will add more books for combat skills.

iKormann, for now - no.

@SNeicer - Just a heads up, but the halved experience the new vanilla Aiming and Reloading books offer was intentional and not an error on the devs part. The Long Blade book offers the same deal. My guess is they didn't want to make it too easy.

Not a problem just letting you know it's not a mistake. That said, it's your mod, so if you're fine with keeping weapon skills on a par with crafting, then that's fine too. The problem remains that there would be two sets of these skill books spawning in-game though..

As for the Long Blade book incorrectly offering a boost to Reloading , this issue has been reported to the devs, so hopefully they'll fix it at some point. (saying that, my Simple Skill Books mod also fixes that issue, along with the Carving book that incorrectly offers it's rewards to Carpentry lol)

Will it be necessary to review the translations?

That's funny, my mod actually fixes that (If books are left untouched)

Ok then, reverted the changes...

Damn

@SNeicer In B42,vanilla books for Reloading and Aiming only give half XP boost as other books,and LongBlade book gives Reloading XP boost

Only for B42 of course. B41 version has not been changed.

Removed custom books for long blade, reloading and aiming skills. Thanks everybody for pointing out possible conflicts.

Hey all, so I went ahead and made a patch mod for Extra Books Mod so that it will work with my Simple Skill Books mod without issue. The new Extra Books Patch available in my workshop will bring the books added by this mod into line with the vanilla books.

While it is better to start a fresh game, one can add it to an existing game, but remember to burn any pre-existing skill books if you do, ad the patch only works for newly discovered books, and is not retroactive.

@SNeicer - don't forget to add the new book set items for your skill books! Incidentally, the vanilla books now cover: Agriculture, Aiming , Animal Care, Butchering, Carpentry, Carving, Cooking, Electrical, First Aid, Fishing, Foraging, Glassmaking, Knapping, Long Blade , Masonry, Mechanics, Metalworking, Pottery,
Reloading , Tailoring, Tracking, Trapping, Welding. I've highlighted the conflicting sets for you.

Yeah, I'm aware of new books, didn't think of compatibility issues tho, will look into it

I found vanilla reload book, you may want to check new vanilla book list and remove the same one to avoid conflict in future, unless ... it give you even more XP boost

Excited to try this out. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I can't say certainly which mods cause this, so you might need to tinker with the load order yourself. As I already said in description of the mod - there is barely any coding done.

Depends on what mods are installed

im having the issue with not being able to read books, should this mod be placed high or low in the mod order? the auto load feature they have put it in a spot where its not happy i guess..... im on build 42.

thanks

Sure

Would it be alright if I add your mod to a modpack for a server I'm making?

In b41 - No
In b42 - No idea, but probably no too

The only problem is the spawns, books won't appear in places you've been, if you have loot respawning disabled of course.

New game required?

Thank for the update

The mod is now b42 compatible! Took a little longer than expected tho...

maybe. we will see in full release

Thank you for your work!

While in debug mode, in the Items List Viewer, I saw that they added books for aiming, reloading, and long blade. Strange they added XP books for long blade but not the rest of the weapons? Maybe they are actually in but it's not showing up in the items viewer list and/or they will add them on full release?

Ported it, but text encoding is botched, gotta redo it, will take some time to fix...

B42? Such a good mod to not have. :)

The strength and stamina multiplier don't activate and I don't have any mods active only yours in a new game

@BuffGamer101 - But the funny thing is the strange names.

I generally enjoy this mod, but strongly disapprove of the weird names for the books.

okay so, the issue was resolved, i wiped out my settings directory and it somehow started to work. no idea how but i have no complains
