IAT_ReadableBooks_And_LiteraryDevices

Description
IAT_LiteraryDevices

This mod is the first of many private mods that are being released publicly over time from The Survivalists Role Play Server[the-survivalists.net]. Vanilla DayZ has a variety of books within the game already WITH a UI to display text but is not currently attached to any action. This mod aims to connect existing vanilla behavior with heavily abridged versions of vanilla book texts along with extending reading features to include multi select books and predefined book lists on tablets. The framework is fairly simple and meant to be extended like any other retexture or addon.

Features
- Turn 134 Vanilla DayZ books into readable items!
- Add your own books with custom covers easily!
- Create book archives for players to collect!
- Add your own tablet models for custom visuals!

How To Use
Subscribe to the mod.
Browse items with the prefix "IAT_LiteraryDevices_" or any vanilla "Book".
Bring book to hands and left click to read.

Scripting??
Unpack and read the readme.
IAT_LiteraryDevices_Book_Colorbase is the base class for books. Single select.

Mod name changed from 'IAT_LiteraryDevices` to `IAT_ReadableBooks_And_LiteraryDevices` I apologize for any inconvenience.

As a design decision, I moved over to prefixed books because other addons will also modify BookBase and other vanilla books. In order to ensure my mod ALWAYS works, I opted to make duplicates of existing books with the IAT_Book prefix. I apologize if this caused any issue but will ultimately be for the best long term as I won't have collisions with other mods.
