Write your own book or scroll?

Is there a mod for this laying around? I've been looking for one for awhile. A little help? :wacko:

Are you asking to make your own book? If you are the only thing you need for that (there is no mod out there because theres no need to make one) is TESCS. You can edit books from there. Just change the name of the book and create your own form

Thats the thing, I don't know how to use the construction kit. The only thing I ever did was recolor the elf armor in my game to replace it.. which was no esp required. :wacko:

Hehe alrighty well I'll have to tell you have to do it step by step :). Fire up TESCS. Go to file-Data. Then check Oblivion.esm and click ok. Your computer should be going crazey with loading stuff up. Thats because its loading all the objects and stuff from your oblivion. Then you should see 5 major categories. Click the plus sign on Items. Then lotsa sub categories are going to pop up. In this case, click the plus sign on Books. Then two more sub Categories come up. Then click Clutter (one of the sub categories.) You can pretty much click any book to edit but for now just click Book1CheapBiographyofBarenziahvI (should be one of the first books). Right click it and click edit. You can edit it to any way of your likeing. Make sure you change its ID before editting so that you do not overright the Book in the game. At the end of all your editting for your book it SHOULD ask you to create new form. If it doesnt that means you overrighted the book :O. Well when your done editting the book to your likeing or need some help editting it or putting it into the game reply asking any questions. (oh to edit text you should know what to do the words to edit in the book are in the edit screen for the book). ;)

In the edit screen (or Window, if you want ot call it that) for the book you choose it should say ID in very big english type letters...... HOW CAN YOU MISS THAT? lol well tell me when you get that done;explaining how to drop things is pretty confusing for the first time. And why do you want to make a book anyway? But to be honest, I was curious in making one too when I first knew about modding. But then I realized that I'm reading what I wrote to myself....... it got weird. :P

Just bored and I feel like adding some more books about the Ayleids to the game, atleast my theories on them.

Thats pretty cool. Well if you made your own book, hopefully lol, then find your book in the books items (when you create your own form [as in the book you made] it should be in the book list) Then in your cell view window (it should be one of the three windows in your TESCS labeled Cell View :P) Click the arrow down next to World Space to see a whole bunch of places from Oblivon. Lets put it in the IC Market District for now. So on the big list of Oblivion places scroll down to find (you do not have to scroll since theres so many just type) ICMarketDistrict. Then a list of locations in the ICMarket District will come up. Click ICMarketDistrict03. Then in Cell Window you should see that location. Now, to drop your book first scroll down in the cell window, pretty close to the floor with your scroll on your mouse. then find your book in the book list and drag and drop it into the Cell Window. you should see your book floating in air. To drop it press F. It should then fall to the ground. Then click File-Save and name it whatever you want then when you start oblivion make sure to check it. Then go to the location and find it.

 

 

Also, since your making a book, why not retexture it? It'd be cool :D.
