Udderly Skillbook XP

Description
Want to run your own PZ server at a reasonable price with good support? 2 days free, click here![indifferentbroccoli.com]

Gain XP from reading, configurable restriction to different skills and other settings - based on (though very very diffrent now) Sarah & Karim's Multiplayer Addons mod with permission (friends of mine actually <3) with added features!

  • Configurable Skill Whitelist/Multipliers Per Skill
  • Optional requirement of light to read
  • Optional ability to get XP while walking (and configure a multiplier for the XP gain)
  • Optional multiplier for XP gained while sitting vs. standing.

Default Skill Whitelist/Multipliers Configuration:
  • 100% (2 levels): Carpentry, Electrical, Mechanics, Metalworking
  • 50% (1 level): Cooking, Farming, Doctor, Tailoring, Fishing, Trapping, Foraging, Maintenance
  • 10% (20% of a level): Aiming, Reloading, Sprinting, Sneaking, Lightfooted, Nimble, Axe, Long Blunt, Short Blunt, Long Blade, Short Blade, Spear, Strength, Fitness

Obviously you'd need book mods that add books for a given skill for those that aren't in the base game.

Narrnika for the light requiring mod here from which I borrowed the light level checking code:

Sought permission for the latter, but they did not respond.

Any news on this being updated for build 42? This is my favourite skillbook mod and I'm not a fan of stuff like CDDA books, this one is set up just right.

Will an option to consume the books read be added anytime soon? Would love to use it!

@Zankle, maybe change the sandbox settings ingame. and add the skills via copy and paste.
Woodwork=1;Electricity=1;MetalWelding=1;Mechanics=1;Cooking=.5;Farming=.5;Doctor=.5;Tailoring=.5;Fishing=.5;Trapping=.5;PlantScavenging=.5;Maintenance=.5;Aiming=.1;Reloading=.1;Sprinting=.1;Sneak=.1;Lightfoot=.1;Nimble=.1;Axe=.1;Blunt=.1;SmallBlunt=.1;LongBlade=.1;SmallBlade=.1;Spear=.1;Strength=.1;Fitness=.1, those are the original skill names, restart your map and it should work, it did for me.

Hello,

I love your mod been using it on my server for some time however after setting up a fresh server using the literacy mod https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812583527&searchtext=literacy - and you mod. While i have you mod enabled i am unable to read the learn to read magazine from the literacy mod. I just wanted to give you aheads up. Unfortunately i have had to disabled it for now due to the conflict.

It won't work when we're hosting a multiplayer server from the in-game host option. Am I doing something wrong?

@Agitatio: Option to consume books will come at some point, it's on my radar as a feature as well. Good point about the walking-while-reading, heheh. I tossed that feature in knowing I'd never use it, and never really thought that hard about it at the time - this was one of my first mods. When I revisit it I will change that.

@Khadawick74: No idea, let me know, lol.

I think instead of multiplying XP gain when sitting/walking it should instead multiply read speed. Why would anyone read while walking if you get less XP by doing that? Plus, I hate to ask but, an option to consume books after fully reading them would've been fantastic.

Hello! Does this work with the Literacy Mod?

Fixed some bugs, made some new bugs, fixing those bugs. Annoying.
