No changes, or at least any I'm aware of.

This update is mainly so people stop throwing hissy fit that mod isn't working and provide no details.
And so people aren't deterred by the "1 year" since last update.

This will also ensure that I may not of made changes to the DEV version I use and didn't release it to workshop.
Who knows, maybe I fixed why it doesn't work for some.

New translations
Readded the Brazilian Portuguese translations (PTBR)

Deluxe books have been shelved as they've caused nothing but problems for me and my mods.
For now, I'll only be doing translation updates with this mod to avoid further issues, sorry about all this.

Update: 12 Mar, 2023 @ 8:58pm

Reverted to 4th Jan version.
This in turn did the following:

Removed Submod
Added Deluxe Books as a submod.

New Submod
Added Deluxe Books as a submod.

Deluxe books are skill books that will do 1-10 of a skill, providing a permanent skill boost.
These update based on other skill books, so after Beginner, you'll keep that XP boost until you read the next tier.
Mod is a little different from how skill books normally work, be cautious of enabling it.

Deluxe Books has all current (and the new) translations.
However in other translations they're referred to as Volume 6 instead of a "Deluxe" edition.
Mostly since I don't want to google translate it and it be wrong or used incorrectly in the other languages.


New Translation

Author note
Appreciate any and all updates I get in regards to when the mod may be having issues.
If any issues persist please let me know.

Update: 31 Dec, 2022 @ 8:41am

Added CN translations provided by Icamus.
Had some personal problems trying to test these, but they SHOULD work.
If not, please let me know.


The icons should've updated, but PZ has been throwing an hissy fit about updating these so they may just appear as default and may not visually look like they changed.

Update: 12 Jul, 2022 @ 10:13pm

-Added Russian translation for Tooltips.
-Retextured the following books: Aiming, Long&Short Blunts, Long&Short Blades, Fitness and Strength.
Books that had notes on them were updated, they have notes sticking out of them now and to make room for Level textures.
-Added Legacy Texture submod, It will overwrite the textures to use old version's. Applies to Pantry Addon if you have it.
Must be added last to take affect as it overrides textures via mod hierarchy.
-Fixed Sneaking book not having a World model and displaying as it's Icon.


Hidden Changes:
Hidden changes are things done under the hood and don't affect the gameplay itself.

-Updated Debug/Test item Texture, Old version included in Legacy mod.
-Added Level textures for: Aiming (All five), Sprinting(One) and Lightfooted(1)

Update: 4 Jul, 2022 @ 11:00pm

Added Spanish translations to Base version, translation done by CarlosRojasCu
-Includes Skillbook names and their Tooltip.

Unseen changes
-Updated to-do list.
-Updated Version number, will now display version 2.

Update: 2 Jul, 2022 @ 5:00pm

-Fixed the books not correctly displaying the correct book title. (Finally!)
I.E: Aiming for dummys vol 1 showed: "Tooltip_BookTitle_Aiming for Beginners"
It will now correctly display "Aiming for Beginners" for it, along with the appropriate title for other books.

Note that currently this only displays in English, and both "Items_EN.txt" AND "Tooltip_EN.txt" require translations, should anyone be interested.

And that this is in the base version, so if you use Comedy, it will still tell you the book is for "Spears" in it's title tooltip, despite the name of the book being "Social Distancing Guide Vol. 1", in turn helping to reduce confusion whiles still allowing enjoyment of the silly names.

Update: 2 Jun, 2022 @ 6:18am

Not much of a 'major update', or any of the big updates I planned, but a small fix for some of my built up 'rage'.


-Added English/Russian translations to base version.
This effectively cuts out the JPExtraBooks_Default and makes it redundent.
If you still have that enabled for your server, nothing will happen, but I did not want to remove it yet but do know I will remove it in the future.

You now no longer have to complain to the server owner that the books say JPB_Fitness_1 anymore.



Updated Poster/Preview images
-Workshop Preview image now shows 41.71+ to show it's updated.
-Literally slapped a + on comedy version. (Now saying "41.65+)
-Grayed the default version and put outdated to indicate it is no longer required.



Small note:
I tested in single player that if I add the comedy version after the base, it'll set to comedy version.
However, I am not sure if the comedy version will always take priority in name changes; should it not be the case I will in the future ensure it does.
