TravistyOJ Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Anyone been able to extract the raw text of all the books? I have tried loading up the Skyrim data with multiple tools, and I admit, I'm a bit of a newb at mods, but I'd like to format all the books into a nicely formatted ebook so I can read lore when I can't play. This isn't a mod request, just trying to start a dialogue to see the best way to get the text of in game books. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlas Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 If the books in Skyrim are anything like they were in Oblivion, you'll need to wait for the CS and open it up through there as an item, find the text, and copy it to word or whatever word processor you use.

Roltak Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The books aren't inside Skyrim.esm anymore, they have exported them into an extern file called Skyrim_English.DLSTRINGS inside "Skyrim - Interface.bsa". You can open it with a simple file editor, I used Notepad++ and it is halfway readable, just skip the first 300 lines they seem to be some definitions, headers etc. Don't know if the books are in any specific order or random and there are the filenames, linebreaks etc. in the text but I think it is readable enough.
