B42 compatibility?

A friend and me just lost maintenance one week ago. Is there a way to get it back? We can't find "LY_Skillbooks_maintenance" in the workshop

Looking at the mod code, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2929123989 already adds it's own skill books so it's not necessary for this one to also add them

I agree with @Machina Ex Terra update the lockpicking books for compatibility with the updated version of the mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2929123989

I think I did add Maintenance. And I can spawn the books but they are unreadable.
Let me test again this afternoon

@RangerZero2
Sorry this is my fault than after multiple requests I removed the Maintenance Books from the Close Combat part and made a separate module.

If you add LY_Skillbooks_maintenance to your server settings like the other parts you can find the books again on places that you haven't visited yet, also the books will appear again at places you have already visited (depends on Respawn timer)

All of a sudden today, everybody in my server lost one series of books - Maintenance.
Everything is fine, just that book that completely disappeared. ?? ?

@LittleYoschi
Hey! Just letting you know that I made a translation for your mod! Check the translations, thanks!

@lawsen Hi mate, the ZRE Lockpicking skillbook mod page is not available on workshop anymore. Is the Lockpicking skillbook already been updated within the the ZRE Lockpicking/Skillbook mod?

@Machina Ex Terra, zRe Lockpicking already has an addon within the game which adds skill books

Please move Maintenance into separate sub-mod.

@Machina Ex Terra the patch is out now on the mod page

would be real nice of you if we could get an update for compatibility with the redone better lockpicking; https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2929123989

Anyone know if this is compatible with Simple Overhaul: Traits and Occupations mod?
Mainly the Fitness and Strength manuals I'm sure everything else works

If your Fitness & Strength multiplier is going away, and you use Dynamic Traits, check the Discussions; I posted a way to fix it.

Note that better lock picking, the original version, is broken currently
As such, the patch for it is unusable

@uLKYu
Of course, you can add my Skill Books to your shop mod, but only with a mention to my mod.

Hi there, If you don't mind could I add these skill books in my shop mod? Of course it won't work without your mod. Oh, and the shop mod's name is Zamazon Trading. Thank you!

@mac.edgar
The mod works works fine, if you haven't found "Sneaking 5" yet, it's probably just bad luck.
Just don't give up and keep looking or for a better chance visit a bookstore or a library.

Hey! I just died from a four month run and I could not find the Sneaking 5 book. I found with no trouble all the others but this one, even searching many many places. Could you please check if the book is spawning. Thank you!

Do the containers have to not even of been loaded into the game? Because I've checked around 15 book cases and have found none of the new books. Haven't looked in any of these cases and have loaded the mod properly.

EDIT: After leaving that area, the books are now appearing in shelves. Thanks!

@ChobitsCrazy
I added it in the description ^^

Made a mod to support this with Pantry Packing

@eKohn
I added it ^^

Hi again @LittleYoschi, I made a patch for your mod to work with
Jadzia's sortingReborn .
Patch

@Les Grossman
If you disable/remove parts, these books from these parts will be removed from your game (also already collected books of these parts).

If you activate/add the parts again, you can find the books again on places that you haven't visited yet.
If you have set a Respawn timer, the books will appear again at places you have already visited.

The load order doesn't matter for my mod.

Hey Yoschi! Ty for taking your time to do this mod! Is it safe to add/remove mid game? Does the load order matter?

@üotaoinga
Would be nice to have a Spanish Translation, look at the Forum thread "Translation", in this thread you find based on an English example what i need for any Translation

ayo i could help with translating it to spanish, if i knew where to do such translation

@LittleYoschi I already did it. There is no conflicts with your mod (I’m using at my server agility and passive mods by you only)

@All
I was asked several times to take the "Maintenance" skillbook out of the "Melee" part and make it separately as a part, what do you think?
Shall we do this?

@LittleYoschi
will do if I can't figure out. It's not a big deal anyway. Love your mod and the fact that it's divided into parts so I can activate the ones I want. And I appreciate the reply ;)

@LittleYoschi,

It could be the better exercises mod

@smithers54
I tested it again with all skillbooks, even after more than 10 minutes the multiplier hasn't disappeared, even after reloading the game the multiplier hasn't disappeared.
Maybe you use mods that are incompatible, because I only use the existing structure of Zomboid itself for the Books.

@jmoren01
The Skillbooks are in Type: "Literature" and Display Category: "Skillbooks".
If you use "Better Sorting", than you should be used the patch from eKohn, if you still have problems with it than please write a comment to eKohn's Patch.

The strength and fitness multipliers are going away about a minute after reading the book.

seems to me like the spawn rate isn't affected by vanilla settings. I set 'literature' to extremely rare and still found plenty in the spawn house. Might be 'better shorting' mod or something else overriding this one tho, I'll have to test that (I do have the patch by eKohn)

@eKohn
thanks, I will add it to the description

@The Crooked
You can use "Has Been Read" for this

Hi @LittleYoschi, I made a patch for your mod to work with Better Sorting. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2749018785

@JDT
All my skillbooks have the "Vanilla Multiplier". The Skillbooks are divided into categories.
If you don't want to use the melee books, but the maintenance, then just don't use them, I don't intend to make skillbooks in single versions.

@LittleYoschi me and my buddies requesting you to mod enchance. While we issuing your skillbooks without melee/firearms options enabled (we’re hardcore players and see them too cheaty), we think that it would be useful and still balanced to buff XP gaining for the maintenance skill (weapons repairing). It is a part of the melee I guess, so it will be great if we’re be able to run with maintenance only (w/o rest melee skillbooks) option our dedicated server.

nice

@The Crooked
mhm maybe later, than normal you can see in the tooltip if you have read a book

@JDT. @Bunny From Valhalla
The bug that the Russian translation is English has been fixed, RU-Translation should now work again

@LittleYoschi writing post to Translations thread with the fixes made by Bunny. When it will be published just update it. And... Don't set it to ANSI (it's unnecessary but sometimes helpful), Win-1251 really working.

@Bunny From Vanilla да, вижу. Всё так. Спасибо!
@LittleYoschi It's calling _Base.SOMEBOOK right now, so it should be _LY_Skillbooks.SOMEBOOK.

That's fun bc I've just copied EN translation and used them as template when did russian one.
P.S. Windows-1251 should be fine.

@JDT У автора все ок. Не переводит потому что там где должно быть ItemName_LY_Skillbooks. в переводе ItemName_Base.
Я заменила, перевод отображается

@LittleYoschi
Just set it to ANSI. Tested.

Now all books have titles in English. I seem to have found the problem.
I need some time to fix it and I will send you the corrected files. Maybe I can do it today

would be nice if you add icons for book read//partialy read/unread

@JDT
I set the Encoding in Notepad++ to "Cyrillic -> windwows-1251", was an info from Official PZ-Discord Server.
I hope everything is ok with the Russian translation, because I can't test it myself

@LittleYoschi yup, sorry I forgot to change it.
Set it to ANSI. It's ok to see ??? via editor.
