READABLE BOOKS

NOTE: The Readable Book System has undergone some improvements to the code and fixes since this release. This standalone version is no longer supported. However, it's most up to date format will be found within my module called, The Scroll, which was released 04 May 2016 and can be found in the link below. The Readable Book System will be supported via the module code all the while I can give it my attention.

THE SCROLL: http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/module/scroll

*** Last Update 17th February 2009 ***

v1.04 - Fixed iOnceOnly section of PageEvents function. Fixed some typos that could mislead.

v1.03 - Made compatible with fontfamily.xml change with SoZ.

v1.02 - Made code compatible with companion use of books.

v1.01 - Made code more compatible for those who wish to mix books with a Table of Contents and pictures.

This module is based upon work previously done by clubok, which can also be found at the Vault: Link

MODULE DETAILS:

My version does not use or rely upon TLK or 2da edits. All text and page events are input and controlled through one script that must be updated as required by the builder. A full ten page PDF manual supplied with the module goes into more details.

Many of the features remain the same as clubok's original:

- Two pages viewable at any time
- Can turn pages forward and backward
- Create books with or without Table of Contents

I have introduced a few additions of my own:

- Table of Contents stays open and works with the same book now.
- Picture Books: View pictures within the books.
- Read Language Scroll magic item.
- Wizard/sorcerer spell book. (Personal requirement.)
- Multiple events per page and not just book.
