after updating to the latest version, i get a warning in game about mwse not being up to date, so i closed the game, updated it, and i still get the warning. when i try running mwse-update.exe now, it quickly closes itself, so i believe i'm up to date. while probably not caused by your mod, i was wondering if you knew how i could fix this? or where i could manually grab version 4000? i have tried downloading the latest version from the link on the modpage and manually installing it but i still get the pop up when launching the game. it says i have version 3097, and i need version 4000. please and thank you!
A small problem: if you throw out several copies of the same type of books or paper plain from the inventory, then only 1 copy is taken away, and not as many as was thrown off. The rest of the copies disappear forever. Can you fix this somehow?
Theres another way to pick up books without reading it. Open inventory and click (grab) the book and insert into inventory. But of course, this mod makes it easier.
Not quite so. Your method will work with all books whether owned or not. That being said I have always used that method exactly as you describe. This mod, by default, has code which checks for ownership and will instead issue a return hence bypassing the rest of the Book Pickup code resulting in reading the book. And that's fine if you do want to just read an owned book and not "steal" it.
I've modified the code to remove the section on ownership. Now all books with ownership will be picked up by default. This is just my personal preference.
Thankyou NullCascade for this mod and more importantly your clear well documented code which made it easy to do my personal modification.
Only thing missing from this otherwise great mod is a customizable hotkey to toggle the pick up option on or off on the fly (without going into the menu).
Nice idea, but I had a weird bug using this mod. When I start a new game with it, I have no inventory menu. I mean, when I am done talking with Socucius Ergalla and I get the message: "You now have an inventory menu" - I right click and... no inventory menu. (And no icon in the bottom left corner either.) Furthermore, I am unable to interact with any object. Can't pick up/steal anything, can't open containers, can't do nothing. (Still can talk to NPCs, though.)
I first played this mod on a playthrough I had already started and didn't encounter any problem. The bug happens specifically when starting a new game.
I must be stupid cause i cant get this to work. when i install the mwse nightly link it detects mgexe as .9 rather than .10 and wont run even though everything is up to date. oh well ill try again in a few weeks and hopefully it will work better once more updates come out

The 1.2.1 download has this fixed.
Thank you for making all these quality of life mods! And developing MWSE-Lua as well!
