THIS MOD HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED BY ME.ANY COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK WILL BE APPRECIATED.


Description
===========
Darnifies any book that the player opens, when they open it. Works for all books, no matter what mod added them.

This mod Darnifies any book that the player opens, by replacing any Font1 tags with Font3 tags when the book is opened. The mod works for every book that the player can open, and doesn't conflict with any mods that modify books.

When a book is open, press [F6] to refresh the book and run the script again.

There are two options that can be set from the console (options menu comming up):


  • SnAutoDarnifyBooks.smallfonts
    Set if you have DarnUI -- allows the use of Font2 as a smaller font.
  • SnAutoDarnifyBooks.handwriting
    Set to replace handwriting (Font5) with Font3.


Install
=======
1. Extract the .esp file to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
2. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file.

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file.
2. Delete the .esp file from \Oblivion\Data\

Mod Conficts
============
This mod could conflict with mods that alter the UI of books. (Untested; I don't have a lot of mods) Works with DarnUI (Of course) and vanilla. Otherwise load it before any mods that use the OBSEv0016 Text Input functions.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Very long books, like "The Real Barenziah" are too long and will be cut off (at about 16000 chars). This is unavoidable as any longer would cause an error.

When running OBSE 17(a), the UI functions do not like long strings, so they return an empty string. This causes blank books when the string is too long.

Not very many vanilla books fit into the "too long" catagory.

Version History
===============
