Hi you can create custom textured books, or scrolls or even import additional models of your liking to this mod on top of adding your own text to each model type with as many different variations as you want or need. So yes it can be done but there are some limitations within the mod such as the way text is displayed cant be altered and pages of the books are set based on how much text is inserted into the HTML file. Our discord is in the description if you need further support as we don't use comments here for this. Thanks

Good afternoon, I'm looking for a mod where I can create a personalized book explaining how my server works, such as how each challenge works, its difficulty level, and the prize for that challenge. I have some challenges on my server and would like to have them explained in a book. Is it possible to do that with this mod?

Is there a way to add images to the book interior for display?

Convert the config.bin to a .cpp file using dayz tools.

Need further help join the linked discord ;)

Where can I find the item names for adding to types.xml so I can have them spawn?

Your welcome!

@Captain Bigzy thank you very much for the tip. You have saved my day

Hi. Is there any way to get a pre-made config.cpp file? I wanted to create my own books. Unfortunately I can't find the config.cpp file anywhere.

@Boertjie🌴 Think you need to give a little more info than that. many people including us are using the mod perfectly fine.

@Dark Eidoson you can yes, however its designed for each server admin to unpack and rebuild it with there own book textures and writings for books,scrolls ect...

Hello This looks like a really cool mod can i put it on my Deer Isle winter server Possibly

Jean hope you managed to get the new update we released!

Thanks if you need a base-help the dzr_notes_experimental fix this same problem recently

@Jean' thanks for the report . we are aware and will have an update out to fix this issue soon

After the last update it seems that there is a bug while reading the book the character is frozen.

@Kaaotic, no its designed for pre made books and lore to add to servers loot tables ect...

Can you write in game though ?

@Makeshift update for it in what way? Is something not working? not heard of any issues.

Is there an update coming for this?

@Yuji Ide Use more breaks will push text to another page so yea automatically done. More text also automatically reduces text size too.

Works great.

With books, Is there a html character limit? How do I separate long html text into pages, into the book itself? Or is this automatically done?

@Vanvaster
as long as you follow the the files and set them up the same way you can add any book you want

Hello,
Can I add several different books?
Example:
A tool guide;
A guide to food sources;
A guide to auto mechanics;
A medical guide;
A building guide; ...

Hey @DoDgY To the book? If so then yes you can use the blank template image.paa for book to add image or edit the textures in anyway you like. Feel free to contact me on discord for assistance.

As I told Dave, really good work guys !

If anyone needs assistance making unpacking, making new lore and repacking into your server mod pack dont hesitate to join our modding discord found here then scrolling down. https://www.dawnofthez.co.uk/Discord.htm

Before or after making changes to pbo?

If your copying the scroll class to make a new scroll you need to make sure to rename the copied classname.

From

class Sample_Scroll: DOTZ_Scroll_Base

To

class Renamed_Scroll: DOTZ_Scroll_Base

Renamed meaning whatever name you want your new scroll to be.
