Books that actually look like books! This UI is intended for builders who would like a better book-reading experience in their modules. Features include:
- Two pages viewable at any time
- Can turn pages forward and backward
- Create books with or without Table of Contents
- Totally data-driven: A 2da file defines the structure of the book, and a tlk file contains the text.
- Introduces my Enhanced Tag-Based Scripting system. This allows you to use common code for a family of objects.
- Takes advantage of the patch 1.05 enhancements, so there is no need to change ingamegui.ini.
- NEW: Support for custom scripting for dynamic page text, or to perform actions upon reading a page.
Version 1.1: Improved graphics contributed by DavionShores
Version 1.2: Added OnRead scripting hook
Good script ..thanks i had convert your script for using Mysql to book. Not need 2DA and TLK..nothing more fun..

Very nice. Way better than the original books. When you have implemented scrolls, it will be even better. 7 - Very Good, Deserves a Look

If anybody with more artistic talent than me would like to supply a scroll graphic, I'll be glad to make the other necessary changes. _________________________ Big Inventory Icons and Character Info Link Readable Books Link Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs Link

Very well done; and I second Jasperre's motion for a scroll version too. A must-have for anyone who wants to give a more 'realistic' feel to reading in their world. _________________________ The Grinning Fool The World of Khalidine, a unique RP PW.

If anybody wonders why it says that I updated this on 4/29, it was just to change the patch level in the description to 1.05. When I first submitted this, there were no options past 1.04. This may have caused some confusion, since this does require 1.05. _________________________ Big Inventory Icons and Character Info Link Readable Books Link Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs Link

RiCkT: Have you upgraded to patch 1.05 yet? You need to be at that patch level. Alternatively, you could add the screens to ingamegui.ini. _________________________ Big Inventory Icons and Character Info Link Readable Books Link Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs Link

i love the script work and all, but i have a problem, i copied all files like according to the readme for the sample mod, but if i test the sample mod, and activate the books, the normal book will just do nothing and the chapterised book will show the chapters like in the screenshot and if i click one, nothing happens at all.. i checked out the locations of the files and its all right, what did i do wrong? :/ - Rick.

Thanks for your explanation and I will vote as soon as I have tried it out. Looks excellent from what I can see so far... _________________________ Gaming Parents Studios - Currently working on A Time to Die Act I and Into the Forgotten Realms Vault Submissions: Movie Trailer of A Time to Die | Unicorn Run Prefab **NEW**
