Quest for Skillbooks?

[urza4315]

There's an existing mod that reveals the location of all 20 bobbleheads using quest markers - So is there a similar mod that does this for skillbooks? Or any kind of mod that reveals the location of skillbooks in-game? (Yes, I realize there are like 200 skill books).

hmm... i GUESS it shouldn't be too hard to do it... you would just need a lot of time :P but who knows, maybe i will do it...

323 locations I believe would be needed for this mod.

 

Breaking them down to about 25 for each book would still clutter up the map when selected for a single book. Having them appear 1 at a time on the pipboy map would require tons of scripting and to break it down to individual map markers. One would also have to add them as targets 1 at a time for each book. Adding them means looking in the geck render window for each and every book and either adding a xmarker to target or targeting each book.

 

Then you have to deal with the books that are not just lying around. Like a Big Book that is one of the rewards of the Wasteland Survival Guide quest. Given by Moira Brown as reward for completion. You cant just make a marker for it so you'd have to figure a way to implement some sort of message so the player knows how to get it.

 

Even a slap together sloppy version of this would probably require a minimum of 20 hours to compose.

 

I considered making a location book for the skill books and one for the unique weapons, but the amount of time required to put together and test a well made mod for these just doesn't seem to justify itself. People tend to remember to go back and endorse titty mods, but don't seem to care about the simple ones that may have taken a lot of work to put together.

Basing off the effort put into my "Bobblehead Collectors Book" No pay/No Endorsements == No Mod.
