@beastlord there's a mod made by star that does this, instead of using fog its just black but it restricts what you can see

Conflicts with your own mod: "Cat's Faster Reading Mod (Slower)", the speed from faster reading mod is gone idk how lmao
BeastLord 12 Dec, 2024 @ 6:00pm 
Don't want to be annoying but would be nice to see a fog around when you walking and reading. So limit your view

thank u cat

I used a stopwatch to time it and it works both sitting on floor and chair (with true acrtions). It takes 4.5 seconds while sitting which is 70% of 6.4 seconds while standing. :steamthumbsup:

Is there a possibility to add an option to remove the extra rate from sitting?
Is possible to remove this just changing the 0.7 rate to 0.0 in the addon files?

Works fine, just move to top of load order. best reading mod out there

HOW DO YOU STOP READING
Chuckleberry Finn 27 Dec, 2023 @ 7:07pm 
This mod is outdated / not written with compatibility in mind - use one of the other walk while reading mods.
austiinos 27 Dec, 2023 @ 7:05pm 
compatible with albion's literacy mod?
Jane Helldiver 14 Aug, 2023 @ 5:31am 
Agreed. Read While Walking uses it's own API, switched over to that just now
Chuckleberry Finn 14 Aug, 2023 @ 4:57am 
This mod overwrites a vanilla file with a copy of it's own. This will break any other mod loaded before it that makes safe changes to the vanilla file's functions.

There are other mods that do faster reading while walking or sitting - I would just use those.
Jane Helldiver 14 Aug, 2023 @ 4:39am 
BUG: Clashes with other mods. I think it's the faster reading when sitting down aspect, which scans for "is sitting on ground", not in furniture (True Actions).
Souffrance97~Twitch~ 12 Aug, 2023 @ 12:00am 
Not working for me.
Chuckleberry Finn 10 Jul, 2023 @ 12:13pm 
I would not use this mod as is, there's other mods that do the same. Nothing against the modder as a person, but they overwrite vanilla files causing bugs for other mods.
White Rhino PSO 10 Jul, 2023 @ 9:10am 
Does anyone know if the "faster reading while sitting down" part of this mod works with the True Actions mod letting you sit on chairs or beds?
FRANEKBLACK 14 Apr, 2023 @ 10:06am 
It would be really great if u could read by pressing R, and the mod makes you read the last book you were reding :)
Exodus 6 Mar, 2023 @ 8:15pm 
Mod works great. Thanks! :steamthumbsup:
404_coffee.exe 26 Feb, 2023 @ 9:49am 
Press escape if you wish for you to no longer read in a book, also I have been dealing with some issues with this mod besides that obvious one.
Macil 30 Oct, 2022 @ 7:27am 
Doesn't appear to work. The second I try moving, my character puts the book away.
ArticBlazer 22 Sep, 2022 @ 5:09am 
how do i stop reading while in a car?
Thundercraft 16 Aug, 2022 @ 6:09am 
Instead of "M13", I'm thinking of trying out the "Read While Walking" mod first (by star [author]). It's new (Aug 7th) and seems simpler.
Chuckleberry Finn 7 Aug, 2022 @ 7:54am 
For anyone who wants reading and walking, use M13's mod instead. Look up "M13".

@star - Ran into the same issue. This will force load this (and their other mods) first before your stuff, so your stuff takes priority back. [pastebin.com]
star 7 Aug, 2022 @ 6:47am 
Overwrites ISReadABook.lua
DA_SBCC 5 Aug, 2022 @ 10:00am 
Same problem, I put it in an already created game with other mods but it doesn´t seems to work, dk if is compatibility problems :/
WHy Not? 2 Aug, 2022 @ 7:23pm 
it cancels the reading while I walk*
WHy Not? 1 Aug, 2022 @ 9:57am 
I can't seem to get this mod to work. When I read a magazine, book, etc. it cancels the reading. Any help would be great!
Coconutsales 16 Jul, 2022 @ 7:34pm 
I do hope Chuck's issue gets addressed! If it's not vital, it'd go a long way to secure compatibility.
Chuckleberry Finn 12 Jul, 2022 @ 8:14pm 
Please do not include a copy of IsReadABook in your mod(s). It's causing incompatibility issues with other mods. You can store the default process and call on it as a local variable.

Also, if you delete the file now Steam's updater will not also delete the file -the way to avoid this is to leave the file in but make it blank with a comment.

For those who find this OP in servers, the situation is ALSO that you have to consider, Multiplayer servers happen to have longer days usually, or shorter. If its shorter, this is a bit much, yes. But often servers also have longer times. The server I am recommending this for, it has a 4 hour day. That is a longer time it takes than it does on a normal time setting, if im not mistaken. If not, the situation is still that people get on a server to actually play with other people. Being stuck in one location sucks man.
Deathhead 7 Jun, 2022 @ 6:51am 
thanks and great mod
♡Spacey.CAT♡  [author] 7 Jun, 2022 @ 4:23am 
not at all :) go for it
Deathhead 6 Jun, 2022 @ 10:23am 
Do you mind if I put this mod in a modpack for my server? I'll credit you and link this page.
Raiseo 29 May, 2022 @ 4:10pm 
Love this mod, makes MP without fast reader more enjoyable, just sneaking in a few pages while going to the location your team agreed upon, thank you! :tobdog:

Also great in the house, going around with a book in hand, makes it feel more lively.
Sam 14 May, 2022 @ 7:27am 
Player asked to consider adding this to MP server, after reading this it's a bit OP. Reading while walking in general is dangerous but doing it during a zombie apoc? Come on... messes with game balance too much. :steamthumbsdown: Thnks for mod'ing for the game though. ;)
CarlosGS92 13 Mar, 2022 @ 3:15am 
Funciona multiplayer actual?
Kafkatrap 26 Feb, 2022 @ 11:26pm 
Does this work for 41.66?
Veeyu 26 Feb, 2022 @ 11:07pm 
Same as below comment. Should heavily reduce vision while walking and reading, and there should be a config to disable reading speed while sitting, and this view distance change
IlluminatiCat 20 Feb, 2022 @ 6:31am 
Can I suggest a version of the mod that reduces your vision while reading?
=jF= 13 Feb, 2022 @ 8:42am 
I have the Distracted Driving mod too which probably doesn't help
=jF= 13 Feb, 2022 @ 8:41am 
And it started shortly after adding this mod too
=jF= 13 Feb, 2022 @ 8:41am 
Anyone else having an issue with losing xp multiplier from already read book and not being to read them again. Looking at the code it's the only mod that play with these and possibly conflicting since it modify the whole ISReadABook.lua file.
XenoHomoSapien 28 Jan, 2022 @ 4:18pm 
Since the whole ISReadABook.lua is in this with one line of change, it may be better to just override the one function changed?
ace 14 Jan, 2022 @ 12:00pm 
does this work with true actions?
Ulas 11 Jan, 2022 @ 10:42pm 
Hey is this compatible with build 41.65? Thanks
WarpedEdge 9 Jan, 2022 @ 7:41am 
Not working with MP. Collection I am using is "BeefPop". Does this require a seup?
John Sisyphus 1 Jan, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
THANK YOU
♡Spacey.CAT♡  [author] 27 Dec, 2021 @ 12:01am 
I'm not really sure. I didn't notice it stack so I'm not sure exactly which setting is used first. If you find out let me know! :)
Lomion 26 Dec, 2021 @ 10:58pm 
Can you, please, clarify how does it stack with server setting "Minutes per page"? ^_^ If you can't, i'll just test it myself later.
