not working 42.10

Когда я сел в машину пытаясь уехать от зомби я случайно начал читать книгу, из-за данного мода произошёл сбой и мой персонаж отказывался что-либо делать, он просто читал книгу и не реагировал ни на что. В итоге зомби пробили окно автомобиля и загрызли моего персонажа пока он читал книгу. B42

Thanks for the mod.

Not sure if it's a bug from this mod or from B42 itself but you can read books in the dark if you are inside a car. Or perhaps is this intentional, e.g., the character could be turning on the cabin lights? If that's the case it still doesn't make sense as it works without a key in the ignition

@Jordi on load character screen there is a button called mods

Can I add this mod mid game? Or do I have to create a new save to use it?

im experiencing a bug where after reading a small flyer the fog is still on my screen

i cant find it on mod selection in game.

OK, it's official - the mod that was causing the issue.........

tadam

tadadammm....

WAS NOT THIS ONE!1 yeah, I launched a new game without "less pages" mod, and the problem is no longer present, and if I was to choose between these two, which I kinda am actually, I'll go with this one, so you may consider putting in the description that there's a conflict :)

Thank you for your work!!

I made a video of what's going on, but I have no idea how to upload steam videos here.

I started a new game with both mods on, and I can recreate the issue all the time (sadly I don't know how to link my clip here), so I'll try disabling either of the mods, I'll let you know if it helps.

@pimatstudio, I guess you installed that mod on existing save, where you have half-readed books. Also reading books shouldn't add xp directly, so it may be another mod related to xp gain.
pimatstudio 2 Feb @ 6:11am 
I don't know if it's this mod or the other one , but probably one of these two mods is responsible for a bug that happens when I start reading a book by pressing "R", sometimes I immediately recieve +1 (level-up) in the category of the book that I just started reading, regardless of how much XP I had had before opening the book.
Any ideas? I'm gonna test in different playthrus with only one of the mods active, but maybe somebody can relate and point which of these mods may cause this behaviour?

@homeworld,
if you set 2.0 and 3.0, it will be 2*3 = x6
homeworld 14 Jan @ 11:35am 
Just out of curiosity, how does the reading speed multiplier sandbox setting interact with the Fast Reader perk or the "Minutes Per Skill Book Page" sandbox character setting? I only ask because you only mention other mod mechanics.

Thanks for the mod by the way. Loving it so far! :cherrypie:
Tinpis 7 Jan @ 5:56am 
Ох, да, я разобрался как устанавливать моды, благодарю
star  [author] 7 Jan @ 5:17am 
@Tinpis,
Также, как и все остальные моды. В двух местах одновременно. Пробуй ещё, пока не освоишься.
Tinpis 7 Jan @ 3:51am 
Как заставить работать мод в мультиплеере? Я включил сам мод и зависимый мод, в одиночке работает, но когда я создаю сервер и отмечаю в настройках два мода или один, я пробовал по разному, то мод у меня не работает
VVentos 30 Dec, 2024 @ 12:04am 
I just opened a discussion please look on it
VVentos 30 Dec, 2024 @ 12:04am 
Hey @star i'm getting error when i start the game, it looks dosen't do anything to gameplay but can you look on it ?
mkehoe28 26 Dec, 2024 @ 8:40pm 
Thanks for the quick response. I greatly appreciate the work you do.
star  [author] 26 Dec, 2024 @ 6:16pm 
SearchModeAPI is needed to "search mods" to be compatible with this mod and with each other. But it was always included in this mod, so you don't have to install separate version of SearchModeAPI if this mod is installed. And it's fine to have both Read While Walking + separate SearchModeAPI.

I just forgot to update separate version of the API. Sorry :)
mkehoe28 26 Dec, 2024 @ 5:28pm 
Is searchmode api not needed anymore? Or....
gamer3000as 26 Dec, 2024 @ 9:19am 
serachmode api i rlly need to install this one?
star  [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 10:53pm 
@Girth,
This mod is compatible with good mods, I guess you have a bad one.
star  [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 10:52pm 
@HeLLDaN,
was it in game or in main menu?
star  [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 10:51pm 
Updated to B42
Wiktorius 21 Nov, 2024 @ 9:41am 
Can you dm me please?
HeLLDaN 18 Nov, 2024 @ 10:13am 
The error occurs, and I can't understand what it's related to.

Commenting to confirm at least for me this mod and skill journal play together nicely and I get the exp back while reading and walking.
Ikaros_HD 4 Nov, 2024 @ 12:51am 
Just curious if this works with “skill recovery journal” seen a different comment from a while back that said it wasn’t but it was a while ago and I can’t find the other mod that’s supposed to make both work. So I’m just curious if it’s a non-issue anymore.
Flammable 27 Oct, 2024 @ 4:12pm 
@star nvm, it's all good... just it doesn't work with normal books/literature to resume but at least I can still walk around... skillbóks works as expected
Girth 15 Oct, 2024 @ 8:42pm 
Hmm doesn't work. Walking stops the book reading.
star  [author] 15 Oct, 2024 @ 2:40am 
@Flammable MELLA IS MONEY
it looks like a mod conflict.
Flammable 13 Oct, 2024 @ 7:01pm 
Is this normal? I don't have mod options but the R key should still works by default. When I press it, I end the reading but after pressing R again it doesn't start back. Also when I click read on the same book/mag from the inventory, I'm starting from the beginning every time. Is this intended? When you fight for a few seconds and then decide to continue read again starting from 0% is not good and the mod is useless unless you will walk to not get hit and finish reading first before righting.
libero2711 13 Aug, 2024 @ 3:52pm 
i understand, and thank you for the mod recommendation :)
your mod is already great as it is
star  [author] 13 Aug, 2024 @ 3:51pm 
@libero2711, I prefer to keep things simple.
And you can try another mod like this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1938484133
libero2711 13 Aug, 2024 @ 3:38pm 
on that note, tho, are you thinking about adding an option to reduce reading speed ONLY while walking or do you think thats too complex to do?
libero2711 13 Aug, 2024 @ 3:37pm 
i see, thank you!
star  [author] 13 Aug, 2024 @ 3:36pm 
@libero2711, it's tweaking reading speed in general
libero2711 13 Aug, 2024 @ 7:56am 
i reduced the reading speed via the mod options but does that affect reading as a whole or only reading while walking? because i still get the dark fog when reading while sitting, so im worried im reading slower even if sitting
Fragger 8 Aug, 2024 @ 9:25pm 
Suggestion: add the "require=SearchModeAPI41" into mod.info
star  [author] 2 Aug, 2024 @ 8:09pm 
@MellowBones,
in multilpayer any mod needs to be double enabled (in two sections).
MellowBones 2 Aug, 2024 @ 4:46pm 
I can get this to work on my single player but it wont work on multiplayer ;/
star  [author] 29 Jul, 2024 @ 9:19pm 
@Fluzz, should work.
"Walk to" triggers a vanilla action, and the vanilla action is already patched by this mod.
Fluzz 29 Jul, 2024 @ 10:54am 
Does this work with "walk to"?
SouDescolado 10 May, 2024 @ 12:23pm 
Hello, not sure if you are still updating this mod or not, but would it be possible to add the recipe magazines to the list of things to be read, maybe toggleable from the sandbox options?
OnamX 23 Apr, 2024 @ 7:34pm 
man, you should do it the mod "smoking while reading', cuz, wt* man, why can't i smoke while i'm reading ?

Ходьба - автоматическое действие. Можно полностью уйти в чтение или в свои мысли на ходу, перестав замечать всё вокруг.
WORXS 29 Feb, 2024 @ 7:09am 
Я пока не скачал мод , но у меня есть предложение , при ходьбе опыт меньше повышается , ведь вы же еще отвлекаетесь на то что вы ходите. / I havent downloaded mod yet , but i have an idea. When walking xp should appear lessly, because you're distracted at walking sometimes.
Hindenburg [TF] 12 Feb, 2024 @ 2:05pm 
So FYI, not sure if it is a conflict with the other mods that we are running, but when reading the book and pressing Q, it will remove the fog altogether, but you will continue reading the book and be able to walk. Aside from that great mod.
oWn:Locke:[ITA] 3 Feb, 2024 @ 3:13am 
i can leave the fog when i read normally sit ? thk
