@Lu5ck Yeah, I'll try to update it. That's part of the original mod, and I never went over it all, I only rewrote the distributions and removed the bicscalibur.

In BicPen.txt, there are typos

"Tags = Write;BluePen;Pen;RedPen;"
It should ends with comma.

"SwingSound = PenSwing,0"
There is an extra 0

@jaffa_5 I could make a compatibility patch to add this pen to Soulfilchers, but it's gonna spawn both his and mine.

@trashcanhands it does, but I believe it's incredibly rare spawn rate.

@jaffa_5 If you mean Relaxing Time, does it not already include a 4-color pen?

really like this mod. did you ever get round to patching this for Soulfilcher's mod?

@Ever Yeah you can. Distribution will be limited to un-looted containers.

Can i uninstall the original and install this mid playthrough and everything will still work fine?

ty for adding a mod that removes the 1 tap pen sword from spawning lol, even if you deselect it to spawn it still does, much needed fix

@ChrisChan
No!

bring back bicscalibur!!

@TheoryOfMadness
I'll get right on it, thanks.

Extra 0 in BicPen.txt
SwingSound = PenSwing,0

Wait, no. First off, how is that a fix? This mod has nothing to do with crayons, which already serve the purpose of this mod in Vanilla. Adding green is really the only thing this mod does, besides making the pencil actually erase.

@Spartan Seth
I'll take a look at that, sure.

Thank you for the fix!

If I could suggest one tiny fix - and its entirely a nitpick - but maybe add green to the color list the "Crayons" item can draw, too?

Understandable

@Femboy wrangler
The spawn rate was way too high and I, personally, found it fatuous.

Just curious, why was bicscalibur removed?

@Captain Tofu
I will not tolerate humor.

Thank you for fixing the 'joke'!

Thanks for the fix. BTW I used this mod to modify the original and keep the Bicscalibur. It work fine. Thanks again!

Yes

is it still working?

@LORDPrometheus
I thought as much. I suppose if you use AT, you really have no need for this mod, then?

I think the Awesome time compatibility issue is because it too adds a 4 color pen that works. For now its a 1 or the other scenario

@あんパン
You're very welcome.

@pwnd
I appreciate that, mate. I will always try and fix any errors when I get the time.

Thank you for removing that stupid weapon.

hmm im not using that one, though i am using several of filchers other mods. i saw somewhere that the relaxing time was messing it it at some point too. either way thanks for the heads up. next run i will test some things, remove his mods one by one until the pen works, and if i that does it i will post results here

@pwnd
Awesome Time seems to be the culprit in most cases. I plan on making them compatible in the near future.

i downloaded this, removed the original mod to be replaced with this, and the bic pens im finding still wont work for writing on the map, mod incompatibility of some kind im guessing? anybody know any common culprits?

@ trashcanhands I know right. I just installed a no pen needed mod. But I still use this mod anyway, for some reason. FOR realism until its inconvenient.....
By the way, Im old enough to have used and actual city map and believe me those things don't last. The maps disintegrate after a few weeks of constant use. A couple days if you write on them. So we laminated them. But then you cant write on them if they are laminated :)

@Tim
Seems like more work to find 4 different colored pens/pencil and tape then to just find one of these.

How about adding a way to craft a 4 color pen by taping 4 separate pens/pencils together? Why haven't we though of this simple idea yet(not me I thought of it,just too lazy to do this)?

@pwnd No need to, if it was required it would be added to the description.

It would also be listed as a requirement when you went to download the mod as well.

so i should probably start a new game if im replacing the original mod with this right?

thanks! friendly suggestion to add that to the description :)

@pwnd
No, it is standalone.

does this require the original file?

@trashcanhands In that case then no, I've not seen this error

@Tim
Literally just fixed it.

Line 94 bag schoolbag item bic pen distribution something something.

Error on line 94 was just a typo on my part. It's fixed and everything should be working fine.

@Ace Longs
Yeah, I'm working on it.

@J6
Yeah, no one has ever mentioned exactly when the error occurs so I couldn't say for sure. I assumed whenever it was enabled and a game was loaded.

I got Error after update..

I have it on both but I have still not see any errors so it sounds more like a mod incompatibility?

I do not see from any of these comments people mentioning when this error occured.

Is it when they pick a Bic Pen up does this happen or only when they enable the mod?

@Liberian Batman
Okay thanks, I think I might know what the problem is already. Its to do with trying to spawn them inside schoolbags and such. Shouldnt effect it otherwise. Ill take a look at it in a bit.

I'm getting an issue with lua line #94 now, although I'm not sure if its actually doing anything as the pen seems to be spawning and functioning correctly.

Can confirm it was MP only for me. No errors in SP, just on my server.

Thank you for your work!
