I made a new sorting mod for B42:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3490232325

Is this compatible with Alternative Inventory Rendering?

Hey, @Oh God Spiders No.
I translated your mod into Italian, thanks for your work and for sharing it with the community!

B42 update has been posted here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3400374270&searchtext=

Hi everyone, I'm sorry but I kinda burned out on PZ and don't play it anymore so I've also lost my enthusiasm to keep my mods updated.

If anyone wants to take my work and update it for B42 you're welcome to do so, just please credit me.

Still the greatest literature organization mods ever made for PZ.

Please B42. :) This is a must-have mod.

B42 Update?

can i disable the mark as owned feature?

When you box up all 5 books and then right click on the box, you have option "Read" above the option "Unpack", if you accidently click it, all of 5 books will disappear :D

If you know this will happen you have few seconds during process to cancel this action, anyway annoying bug tbh

is this compatible with the "has been read" mod?

If you died and started a new character then you would have to re-read the first page. The mod doesn't do any fancy inventory tracking, nor does it add new data variables to the game. Literally all it does is let you read the first page of too-high books.

How does the flagging books as owned work exactly? When I die do I have to reread the first page of every book at base to know when Im looting which ones I have? Or is it if it's in your inventory at any point it knows you have it?

This looks super useful! I'm going to try it out, wish I'd ifnd this sooner, I even have a copy/paste list of every book that I copy into and Empty Notebook every playthrough. Not anymore lol. If you're looking for translation into Spanish dm me!

好

구분하기 쉬워서 좋아요

i can help you with translation into turkish, you can dm me in discord if you'd like. (name: .berkok)

Oh God Spiders No, I wanted to let you know that I translated your mod into Argentine Spanish., and I would greatly appreciate it if you could add the translations to your mods. Thank you.

Check discussion please

I see! Thank you for taking the time out to clarify for me. I was planning on using some of your alternative book art in conjunction with the new Inventory Tetris mods that are popping up, but, after a little bit of testing, I realize that the Inventory Tetris mods are a huge hassle to play with. I'll still probably play with your art, though, because it's more colorful and visually distinctive than vanilla.

Well, the mods show up with the name that you intended through the in-game mod selection menu, but they still bear their original technical names as seen on this workshop page and that's the name that's plugged into the server file when I set up a dedicated server. I've never actually hosted a server through the game before, only through a third-party hosting service that gives me access to the server files, so the technical names are chiefly what I see and work with.

To answer your question directly, you should enable:

LitSortOGSN to get the better name sorting.

LitSortOGSN_readOnePage to be able to read the first page of over-leveled books, which is a rudimentary way of "marking" all copies of it, so you can more easily see if a new book is a copy of one you've already found.

The other modules are icon swaps. You can enable one (or none) of these. "_gold" is lemon and "_diamond" is mint.

The names are mismatched because when I changed them (a looong time ago) I didn't want to break people's saved games by suddenly removing/renaming active modules.

It used to be that players would never even see the modules' file names unless they went digging for them. I'm not sure what changed in the game recently that is forcing players to look at the module names as their primary identifier.

Are you not toggling them on/off in the mod settings on the main screen?

I do not understand the documentation of these mods. It does not clearly explain how to use them, only provides a large list of features and leaves the reader to guess.

What are these different mods? Are the Gold, Diamond, Chocolate, and Rice used to enable alternative art for the books? If so, do they do anything other than this? Does the spearmint candy represent "diamond?" Does the lemon represent "gold?" Does the coffee bean represent "rice?" I am very frustrated and confused by this.

Is the regular "LitSortOGSN" to activate the listed functions? What if I only want alternative art and none of the functions? Can I do that?

Great mod! Combined with "Has Been Read" it's perfection.

same bug with electricity book now lvl 5 and lvl 4 electricity book have same skin, and impossible to find him . (lvl 5 electricity book have lvl4 skin)

i'll try to fix it soon, though

oh

Wow you actually got to level 8? 😳
I'm amazed anyone was able to trigger that bug.

read once feature was breaking it and making me unable to read.

Error Found: Couldn't read vol 5 books at lvl 8

Compatible with Extra Books?

any way to make it work with a pre-existing save? amazing mod

It's been a while since I subbed to this mod and over time I forgot the book and magazine icons were made by yourself and not TIS. Then I realized how ugly the vanilla magazines are and came here to give a word of appreciation for the work. Thank you!

Thank you.

This mod has several components that you can enable individually. You can disable the "read one page" part of it and then it won't conflict at all.

How does your mod work with the "has it been read" mod?

Any conflicts?

Thank you Arachnophobic kind person.

For the default set just don't enable any of the icon sets

LitSortOGSN_gold = Lemon
LitSortOGSN_diamond = Mint
LitSortOGSN_chocolate = Chocolate
LitSortOGSN_rice = Coffee

Which of the Mod ID's is which Icon theme?

How do I keep the default set?
What mod ID's should I enable?

If the book is normally readable, then nothing special happens. If the book is too high level, it just sets the read pages to 1. That way if you see any copy of the book in the wild you'll know you already have a copy of it because the pages count would be 1/250 instead of 0/250.

and I don't mean that those "ikea instruction" doesn't work on their own, but that when I want some visual representation to better explain the written description, those aren't really helping

those "ikea instructions" in the workshop makes what this mod does really unclear. How do you "tell you've own one"? How is the flag represented in-game? Do those clocks have special meanings that a simple black separation line doesn't have? Do you auto-stop at page 1 or there's a separate button for reading 1 page only? I think it's better to just use in-game representations.

Super thank you very much :D

I renamed them at some point early on. But I didn't change the filenames because I didn't want to risk causing errors on existing saved games. Candy=diamond, lemon=gold, rice=coffee

Hey, what is gold, diamond and rice ? Your picture show a candy, a lemon, a coffee bean and a chocolate.

I use this mod in every game. Thank you.

> So later if you find a book that has 1/250 you know it's one you've already found.

Ahhh, now I get it. I was expecting a less unobtrusive way, haha

Does this mod has the same effect of "has been read" mod?

The only difference is that one page has been read, so it says 1/250 instead of 0/250.

So later if you find a book that has 1/250 you know it's one you've already found.
