worldofscotty Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well Sun Tzu has been dead for quite a bit more than 100 years now and his copyright ran out about 2000 years ago. I think you'll be ok. JRR tolken only died in 1973 which is why The Lord of the Rings is indeed protected. It isn't to say that they would demand you cease production and remove the mod but a rather large LOTR mod for Skyrim has already been blocked by the copyright owners.

FathomsDeep Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 there is already a master alchemy mod, which is a book that will help you remember the recipes. no need to do the same work twice ;D I'm inclined to disagree! Technically speaking, the game "keeps a journal" for you too- but that's not personal at all. I think it would be terrific to be able to keep my own journal of ingredient effects and combinations, in my own words, and with my own commentary, just as much as I'd like to do that with journaling my experiences and adventures! Speaking of which- this would go brilliantly along side an as-yet-non-existant mod to create original custom map markers immersively, from in game. "Found a splendid little fishing hole up on the ridge behind that bandit lair today. Must be careful not to rouse the bandits attention though. Also, mind the giant mudcrabs- they are sneaky and vicious!" *add marker that says ~Dangerous Fishing Hole~ Also fun would be the ability to keep notes and make custom markers INSTEAD of the in-game official ones: "Deep ancient Nord Dungeon was the crypt of Hjerkum Jjerk. Learned a new Thu'um here that peels fruit with a shout!" or "Found a Forsworn camp up on the ridge, but my bag was weighed down with fish so I snuck past. Must remember to go sort them out before they make trouble for the village nearby." For those of us who tend to explore more and follow proscribed quests less, this would be a marvel! (Not to mention how spectacularly it would fit in with Frostfall: Hypothermia for immersion!) don't get me wrong FathomsDeep, i only pointed out that a recipe mod (not the game journalling mechanics) was already out there in response to LordSacasm's remarkIt would useful for alchemy to remember those myriad of recipes, which is the main reason I don't use alchemy that heavily.there is already a master alchemy mod, which is a book that will help you remember the recipes. no need to do the same work twice ;Dhis question was about remembering recipes, thus a means to make your own book (with his own notes presumably) for recipes.sorry if that was a bit unclear. keeping personal notes (be it about recipes, spells, adventures and pitfalls your encountered and al the like), and as you suggest, custom map markers, would add greatly to the personal journey and immersion of any player wanting to record her/his adventures and thoughts in the game. sharing these would be even greater ;)it's been a time since i checked this forum out, but is there a possible mod out yet? ahhh- I see what you mean now. Thanks for clarifying. And nope- not as far as I know. (And I'm told by some that the game mechanics make the idea of player-customized in-game markers is at least nearly an impossibility. But then, impossible really only means no one has figured out how to do it *yet* right? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globox44t Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yes, I wanted something like this too. I'd use it to write stuff I have to remember or make up stories or stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethernalhero Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Just in cause someone does make this mod, could you make it so that time passes while you do that, it would be good with Scenic Carriages ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Areforever Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Is anyone actually working on this kinda thing anymore? All I've seen are either wonky, out of game editing software-type things or broken, in-game, barely usable, 200 character page things. If anyone can find a way to implement this, you'd be a legend on the nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100stubecut100s Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 they have a brewery mod for skyrim, plus a quest to go with it, why not a book writing mod, with a quest or two, a quest of competition, would also make it well and interesting.

Zekeram12 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'd love this mod to exist, but I'll be honest. I'm just gonna write encyclopedias on memes and make a whole book filled with "here come dat boi" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero5906 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 This sounds a lot like.... http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48375/?It may not transfer to an actual book in game but you get most of the feel, maybe it could be something the author be open to adding with a feature to export Player written books/journals into physical in-game books?

Garrowssow Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 May I request a way to copy text on the internet then past it into a blank book on Elder Scrolls & import PDF's into the game's so I can read any information in game play? How about a Doctor, a Scientist, a Chemist, a alchemist, a teacher a preacher, & a stand up Comedian whom can be programmed to say anything I want using a computer text to speech voice program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titaniatic Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I could use this mod as a reminder! I forget almost everyday what to do. Like "go solstheim and do the miraak quests" but tomorrow, i find myself throwing objects around and annoying the companions :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
