I think adding the Read/Not Read marks to the CD/VHS would be a great idea, with the option to toggle each type (as well as choose how the icons show, as per the current mod does with skill books). I would think having it all on by default would be best, if people can just turn off whatever aspects they don't want (eg; only show marks for VHS & CD, ignore Home VHS; maybe 'Apply only to Skill VHS/CD').

Further, if it's possible to include a form of the 'Pages X/Y' from Skill Books and apply it to the media types in general, then you could use it to display the Tick progress for any VHS or CD (presuming future/mod content adds skill discs). Maybe just a simple "Progress: X/Y" in the tooltip, with the same "In Inventory: Yes/No" & skill info (total lvl/ current lvl % progress) that's currently displayed for Skill Books.
And if the VHS/CD doesn't increase any skill(s), then the skill info can simply state "Skill: None". I'm assuming that non-skill media could still utilize the 'Progress: X/Y' I mentioned, since all of them actually have a number of Ticks over time that trigger reduction in boredom/unhappiness (in addition to the skill XP gains).

I don't know if media can be re-used after a certain period of time in order to reduce boredom/unhappiness, but if it can then adding an extra info line of "Watch Again: Xh Ym Zs" would be a nice bonus (toggle on/off in options).

Yes please! This would really help. Would love to contribute, is this mod on github?
Alternatively, this code snippet may help: https://pastebin.com/j47iphDv

@ZeroEffekt
Sorry for the delay.

After much consideration, I have added support for CD/VHS/HomeVHS as an optional feature (default OFF). This is because there are so many users of this mod, and I wanted to introduce it without changing the behavior first. If there are many requests in the future, I will consider making the default ON.

Also, the feature to show if it's in progress or not seems to be technically impossible at the moment. Off course it's possible in vanilla Java, but those function can't be called from Lua, so at this point I could only add "NotRead" mark.

@MassCraxx
Thank you for that very helpful info, very useful! :)

I'm thinking of extending this Mod to "CD", "VHS", and "Home VHS". Specifically, Same as the "Training Materials" in vanilla, I'm thinking of adding a Not Read mark ("!") to determine if they've been watched or not.

Do you think it would be better to add this enhancement as a standard feature, or as an optional feature (off by default)?

I'm also thinking of adding an option to show the mark for CD, VHS, and Home VHS each.

Feel free to post your opinion, thank you :)

Extensions to maps.

I'm not sure if the mentioned update has broken it but even if i watch/listen to a VHS or CD fully it only displays the unread symbol

I am very sorry for the delay in replying.

@S4ro
It seems that mod already has the Italian translation file. If you have any corrections to the content, it would be helpful to receive the file. Please also check the uploader link in the translation thread.

@zork
As for the map, I would like to add a feature that will work correctly in Mid-Save, but due to technical limitations, I am unable to implement it at this time. It is on my TODO list, so please be patient.

@Ophelia Sakura
Thanks for the report. I have checked the latest version and confirmed that it works correctly for CD/VHS as well. Please note that the unread icon for CD/VHS will not disappear until you watch it to the end. If this still does not solve the problem, please contact me with more information (whether you have other CD/VHS related mods, which titles are affected, etc.).

I don't have any CD/VHS mods, it seems to affect all titles but the mark does disappear if you watch it all then reload the game

@Ophelia Sakura
This may be due to a failure of user data on the client side. At least, the latest version (build 41.78) works fine. If I try with a new saved data, do I get the same problem?

this has been happening on several different saves

@Ophelia Sakura
Very unlikely, but the client version is the latest "build 41.68", right? The behavior is similar to in older versions when there was a problem with the data that keeps the read status of CD/VHS called RecordedMedia. I am sorry, but it is difficult to investigate the issue any further.

i think that it´s even a better idea than the original
