Jackpot's Skillbooks (41.78+ )

Description
Dev Note Mod should be functional even to this day when B42 is in unstable... I've been debating on releasing it's Build 42 version but, I can assume there's already a B42 skillbook mod and probably won't need it.
If not, let me know and I can look into it.


Adds extra skillbooks to help with your leveling up needs! Ideally made in mind of a server for me and my friends but is available for public use.
Because god said we needed more skillbook mods.

This mod has been tested and works for both Single player and Multiplayer.

This mod is currently supported in English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese(CN) and Portuguese(PTBR)
You can help break the language barrier with any submissions of translations, to see what needs translating head over to the Discussions for this workshop item!

Russian Translation: retarded_chicken
Spanish Translation: CarlosRojasCu
CN Translation: Icamus
PTBR Translation: PeteR's Mod

Compatibility
This mod is compatible with a lot of mods, even other skillbook mods as it doesn't change basegame code.
Whiles the mod works with Dynamic traits, the multiplier for Strength and Fitness get removed after awhile, this is out of my control other than adding an option to remove those books IF you have that mod.
Added Pantrypacking compatibility with my own mod, found here: Pantry Packing Addon.

Bug? Report it!
If there's a bug with the mod, please consider the following before reporting it:

What causes it? I.E: What happened, what does it do and so on.
Console Error? Any console errors would be ideal, especially since it may let me know if it's an issue with THIS mod or another mod.
Issue when only mod; Does this issue occur on it's own? Some other mods may be causing issues.

Latest Patch
-Readded PTBR translations.

This should cause no issues.


Current Upcoming updates:
Possible B42 update if one is needed.

Mod has been practically completed; I've decided there is no reason to ever update this mod aside from more translations, or if the game ever does a major update in which I'll make sure it still functions.

Do you like Pantry Packing? I have made a mod addon that makes it so you can pantry pack my books!


Tired of fast forwarding whiles reading books, want them to be shorter? 富萝莉 has made Light and Thin books whoch is now compatible with this mod, check it out:


Notice
Tier 1 Strength and Fitness have lowest chance of their skillbook set to spawn so you don't have to worry about finding several 1-2 level skillbooks of them and can at least find 3-4 or higher ones instead.


This is one of those credit where credit is due mods, I'd prefer not to have direct reuploads of this mod unless I end up being inactive and this mod is beyond out of date and don't work in future updates. Which is unlikely unless they edit the basecode of Skillbooks.
Otherwise you are free to use parts of the code, especially since it took me awhile to get the books to be 3d models.

@Jaxx - pshoooo

Hmm, not that I'm aware of.
I can probably give it a look in the future, but if you really want you could just make a 'local mod' and essentially create a copy of the mod but remove all files except the XPSystem and modify that.
Since I know someone did something similar with the distributions of where the books spawn and their weight for their server.

If you want to do the local mod route for now just go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2689487126\mods\JackpotsBooksBase\media\lua
and make a copy in
C:\Users\[NAME]\Zomboid\Workshop (Name is your own PC name)
You might want to remove the workshop txt and in the base remove id from the mod.info and maybe rename it so you know it's just modified XP Multiplier version. And as long as you give it higher priority by either selecting it last or doing so with mod manager, it'll override the original mod's files that are still there.

is this mod, or even any mod that anyone is aware of, a skill book mod with modular skill level increases in sandbox to control how much the non-vanilla skills have a multiplier of? nearly everything is of the "normal" rate which is an insane increase and means you can max every skill in a game month with a little effort and i'm looking for something that is between that and nothing.

Mod is working fine. working as intended. the addon is working fine, no issues with this mod.

@NARABOX
No problem, I even went out of my way to 'update' the mod, just so people can't really complain it's "out of date" when it hasn't been touched for a year and PZ hasn't updated in, two years now?

But even when I tested it, had zero issues with any saves.

But glad to hear you've been using my mod! Happy to help with any issues. ^^

@Jackpot All right, buddy. Thanks for replying. I was confused because the guy didn't give many details, I've always used this mod in my collection for a long time without any problems. Ty again

@NAREBOX
Last I checked, mod is functional.
And given Zomboid hasn't updated, it should be working unless there's a mod conflict I'm unaware of.

Also, guy didn't really explain how or why it's broken so at this point I'm checking just a mod conflict on their part as my runs and servers never had any issue with it.
NAREBOX 21 Apr, 2024 @ 5:51pm 
So, er... Is this mod working or not?
Jackpot  [author] 16 Jan, 2024 @ 11:52am 
Didn't know there was any issues since never had any reported to me.
Though that is fair enough, I've messed with this mod a tad too much in past anyway. ^^

Thank you for using it though.

This mod has been broken for months, I've just stopped using it entirely in favor of other book mods.
Jackpot  [author] 12 Mar, 2023 @ 9:19pm 
I've readded the PTBR translations and everything seems fine on my end when I load.
I assume the deluxe books may of been the cause somehow?

Eitherway I've mostly reverted the update before addition of the deluxe books so it should be fine hopefully, if any issues let me know asap.
