CDDA Reading

Description
I always hated grinding out Metalworking/Electricity/Mechanics every game. I liked how CDDA did their skill leveling which is by sitting in a dark corner and reading a book. This mod enables you to do that.

How does it work?

This works with all books in the game even modded ones

Each page you read will give experience rather than a multiplier. This will allow the player to level mechanic/metalworking/electrician/etc skills without the grind of removing car parts, deconstructing 1000's of tables throughout town, making the same items 100's of times over.

With B42 the developers have allowed customization of speed it takes for each page to be read in literature. Any kind of edits can be made in there if this feels too powerful, or too difficult.

Feel free to re-upload/edit/use my mod for anything you like. You won't need my permission

Love this mod, the only grip I have with it is that it gives too much XP per page, so on level 0 the char gets to level 1 at 10% of the book read... to level 2 at 30% or so... So it's not only too fast, but it breaks the flow and immersion. Can you change that, so the 5th book gets you to the 10th level only close to the end of the book?

Doesn't work with Tchernolib/True Crawl, makes books infinite and unable to read them.

MODID is the url of the mod instead of a proper mod id, that is why the mod is loading properly, author please fix this.

This mod does not work properly, or very well. Doesn't support Strength and Fitness books either. My comments ignored. I've yet to find the magic formula with time per page to make it work... No matter what book i read it's broken, never get all the XP for the book read. Looking at the code is very confusing too... why is there 2*18 for a value instead of just a value? Very bizarre. Doesn't also accommodate xp boosts or anything, so reading is all messed up overall. Think this mod is actually abandonware.

Used to use this mod and it worked, still works on older settings, but when placed into workshop now it loads a "modurl", causing it to not work and stopping any other mods from loading past it. It also doesn't work when I put the mod id directly in. This was tried on multiplayer servers both with and without other mods.

@brutetooth you could probably edit the exp values in the lua
