Nevermind, taking the files from the mod and pasting them into B42 game files makes it work anyways without conflict. Who'd guess?

Will this mod receive a port to B42? A lot of my gameplay revolves around scrapping multiple vehicles to patch into one and honestly I don't know what I would do if this mod didn't exist.

Using this with the Containers! mod seems to break their mechanics UI, just wanted to mention that!

Great mod but it looks like the feature that gives the ability to open/close the trunk from mechanics panel allows you to cheat your way into locked trunks on Mp still a very great mod still works great.

I confirm, it works well in MP. Great work @SubVision thank you !

there was no problems in MP.
i think they are not compatible because they modify same action. you can just use this so you will open trunk only once.
you just right click on the car as usual and select mechanics there. if you already opened it, it will just show car menu instantly

This mod looks great, well done !
- Is this mod works well in MP ?
- Is this mod compatible with Faster Hood Opening (2584112711)
- "Also if you open car menu once, you can then open it from any distance." --> how ?
Thank you @SubVision

removed book part from code

guys, let me explain. I made this mod for my party and didnt expect someone to download it :)
This book shit i added because i got bug when i read the book completely and didnt get skill modifier after.

I tried to add logic to recalculate modifier before it discard reading it.

```
function ISReadABook:isValid()
local vehicle = self.character:getVehicle()
if vehicle and vehicle:isDriver(self.character) then
return not vehicle:isEngineRunning()
end
if not self.character:getInventory():contains(self.item) or self.item:getNumberOfPages() < 0 then
return false
end
self:update()
return self.item:getNumberOfPages() > 0 and self.item:getAlreadyReadPages() <= self.item:getNumberOfPages();
end
```

BAD! very naughty! let this be a lesson in modifying globals!! this function breaks every single readable item with a timed action. the only reason skill books continue to work is that their progress is measured by pages, not by a set completion time.

hope this helps you and anyone else who spends hours figuring out why such an innocuous-sounding mod is breaking the game so fundamentally

Same as other commenters. I went deep, deep into the stack traces for this. OP, whatever changes your mod propagates to the entire game (?) causes the ISToolTipInv.lua file to throw exceptions when a character attempts to read.

as the guys said, i also figured this mod out of the 110+ in my collection was breaking the ability to read. it's a shame since it comes real handy
Chewster 22 Dec, 2021 @ 1:52pm 
Yeah, I tracked down this mod sorting through a mod collection. This one makes the character unable to read new recipe books, as well as newspapers, magazines and ordinary books. Not XP-boosting manuals, though.
Mestima 22 Dec, 2021 @ 8:29am 
Yeah, this mod breaks reading. Be careful guys.
lggrangeiro 21 Dec, 2021 @ 3:44pm 
anyway, this seems to be quite useful...if i can make it work!
lggrangeiro 21 Dec, 2021 @ 3:43pm 
Well, i don't know why, but when i enable this mod, my character becomes unable to read books (those generics red ones)or skill magazines, but still manage to read the ones that boost skill levelling! if i disable it than it comes back to normal!
