ZohVeldae Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Long time lurker, fist time poster. Hopefully I won't mess this up much :D I just wanted to know if it is possible to make, or if its already been made, a way to restore Ruined Books and Burned Books into normal readable books. Maybe even spell books. The models don't even look that damaged so it would make sense that they could be restored with maybe a few Rolls of Paper and a Quill and Ink. Just something I've always thought should exist to give some use to the items instead of just leaving them as decorations. Hopefully someone can make it, or point me to a mod that does have the feature :D Thanks in advance!
JobVanDam Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 The problem with this is the "Ruined Book" item, I think, there's only 2 of them.So turning 1 of 2 items into a plethora of possible other items would require scripting. One method would be the following:- You would have to create a "Ruined Book" misc item for every book in the game,- You attach a script to the vanilla "Ruined Book" items that when added to player inventory it is removed and the player is given a random "Ruined Book" item from your mod.- You would then have to create a CreatedObject record or recipe for every book in the game. Each recipe would result in a different book and the recipe would include a different "Ruined Book" item from your mod.

Or you could even create a separate crafting station, if you were feeling fancy. It wouldn't be too realistic that you can pick which book you wish to 'recreate', but in a world where it takes the same amount of metal to create a dagger or a ring... it'd fit. :wink: Edited January 18, 2018 by Syntia13
DarkRudra Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Woodcutter includes a variant of most of this. I haven't explored that aspect of the mod in great detail, but it adds a new crafting station called a "Scriptorium" in most inns and/or major castles. Using that, you can turned Burned/Ruined Books into Roll of Paper, which can then be used to craft books. The downside is that the mod's lore says you're copying books, which means you have to have a book in your inventory already to craft it.
