I have read the mod’s description, but just to be sure : this BOS patch replaces burnt books only, is that correct ? It does not also replace burnt magazines does it ?
The reason why I ask is that I have these two mods installed :
The first one is a simple texture replacer for burnt books which unfortunately needs to be uninstalled for the BOS patch to work. The second one retextures magazines and comics. Will I be okay to leave this one installed ?
BookBurnt01 = Burnt Book BookBurnt02 = Burnt Textbook
Okay, so I looked inside the SWAP.ini files of this mod and only these two objects are replaced in the game with Classic Skill Books, even though a number of the skill books look more like magazines to me. So any loose files retextures of magazines, burnt or not, will be fine to keep installed. Only loose files burnt books retextures like the first mod I linked above will interfere. The same thing applies to the mod Book Collector II and its Base Object Swapper patches. Sorry for the false alarm.
These are really nice. I've had BOS installed for a long time but never really used any of the mods for it until the various "books" series. Makes re-exploring locations I've done to death, revived, and done to death again more interesting. :) Thanks!
Thank you for the great mod! It was really no trouble at all, it's an easy patch to make. I use the 5% chance version myself; I feel that anything above that makes it too easy to find the magazines, but hey, everybody can play the game in their own way!
Hi Idfxf, you can switch between the different versions anytime during an existing game, without issues! Or you can just edit the SWAP file in your data folder yourself, by changing the ChanceR(X) value at the very end of each line, where X is the chance books will swap (should be a value between 1 and 100).
