Oooh, looking forward to watching this one grow! Quick question: because the .omwscripts for this and the original Audiobooks mod is named the same, does that mean that only one should be used, or should they both be used but one renamed? If the former, perhaps mention that in the description. If the latter, perhaps renaming the file for this one to “audiobook-tr-openmw.omwscripts” would suffice. (this now reads a bit presumptive, my apologies)
For anyone else confused on openmw you make sure that you have both this and audiobooks of morrowind in your data files but this has to be after. You will only see one .omwscripts file in your content list in the launcher. This should be the one from this mod as you should have it below the morrowind one. You enable this. It's intentional that the .omwscripts file in both mods are named the same so that only one appears in your launcher. It will still use the audio files from the morrowind mod as long as you have them in your data paths.
The script however is simple, and if you or anyone else wishes to use it and add more books, feel free to do so and upload it.
In local sound_map, add the book as follows: t_bk_dunmerilawprimertr = "Vo\\Audiobook\\Dunmer_law_a_primer.mp3", The left being the name of the book in the construction set, and the right being the path to the mp3 file. That's it.
Sad that this requires scripts to use for OpenMW. The regular Audiobooks of Morrowind does not. Scripts are wonderful, of course. Except for the select few of us who are stuck on Android. Lol... Either way, your work is great. 😊
OpenMW Nightly 0.48 can't use lua scripts. Even after dropping everything in data files, OpenMW for Android won't actually do anything with them. I believe this port was released a bit before lua capabilities became available... And unfortunately, it's also the latest one. Except for maybe some forks in development on GitHub that I would have to build myself, and I have no idea how to do something so advanced. Such is life. Lol 😄
I understand that. Most people don't even play on Android. I only posted it just in case other Android users don't know that the scripts won't work... Because I didn't know that at first either. 🙂
Hey just to let you know, there is a 0.49 version of openmw on android. I got a few mods with scripts that's running perfectly fine. It's already set on apk file too, i can send you the link in dm if you want!
Nice, will test and see how the voice sound like later today :) But thank you for this! Cheers!
PS: Aha you used the same voice as before, thats good :) Will you be doing all the TR books? Found a few while testing this mod out, that didnt had an audiobook as of yet. Will love to see how this mod grows !

This is already mentioned twice. You just missed it.

That's it.
Not just with other mods, but with Tamriel Rebuilt itself.
Any book that already has a script needs to have both scripts manually combined into a single one.
For more complex scripts, it would require skipping a large portion of books entirely.
Using LUA scripting allows us to leave all books and their scripts untouched in-game.
