This adds a personal notebook / journal to the Game with your text and images,
the Book is always changeable. Use the included Editor Tool to change the Pages.
You can write what you want or insert Images from the clipboard (using STRG + V).
Every time you start the tool the old entrys will be loaded into the editor tool.
This way you can change the contents of the book very quickly without knowledge
of plugin development.
But remember it is YOUR personal notebook, you can not use it to create complete
new books to upload as a new plugin, only the pages of your personal notebook will be
replaced or changed.
Installation / Usage / Starting
- Extract the archiv directly into the skyrim game folder (where your tesv.exe also is).
- Start the Included Editor Tool "Personal Notebook Mod for Skyrim"
- Put into the pages whatever you want, and click "save entry" on every changed page.
- Start the Gamelauncher and go to Datafiles, here check "SkyNotebook.esp".
- Now start the Game and go to the console. (the key left besides the letter 1)
- Enter "help Notebook 0" and get the refID of the first Personal Notebook.
- Enter "player.additem [refID] 1", and close the console.
- Open the Personal Notebook in your inventory.
Q/A:
Q: It dont works, i see the book but it is empty.
A: Make sure to extract the files directly into the Game Folder and NOT the DATA folder.
Q: How can i make the Background transparent ?
A: The Background Color "white" (FFFFFF) if for the alpha channel to make the background
transparent.
Q: How many Pages can i use ?
A: You have a maximum of 20 Pages in the Book to edit, you can enter up to 50.000 Letters and
insert graphics on every page.
Q: What is the regular resolution for fullsize images ?
A: Regular Imagesize (for a graphic on a page) is 400x300px (but bigger images can be scaled).
Q: Can i write text inside the Game ?
A: No, this not possible with this mod, because the pages are stored as transparent graphics
and not as a text. This is the reason for it. (But you can use a dirty Taskswitch ALT+TAB to
switch to the tool).
Q: How can i insert graphics ?
A: You can copy and paste from the clipboard, i suggest a tool like "Snipping Tool" to choose
your image, click on copy at the top menu, go to the tool, select the page and press CTRL+V,
additional to that way there is a "Insert Picture" Button, which is inserting a image by file.
Q: Can i change fonts and color of the text ?
A: Yes, ofcause you can select the text you want, click on "font" and/or "color" and use it on
each page.
Q: Can i have more than one Personal Notebook at the same time ?
A: Yes and No, you can but both Books will have the same content, but you can put one in a
box in Whiterun and one in a barrel somewhere else.
Q: Where is the Data for it stored, and how does it work ?
A: The tool saves the content as a richtext with embedded graphics in
"../data/textures/extraimages2/changeable/", here is also the source for the tool to reload
the content. Always if you make changes to a page, it will be saved there, but the richtext
field is also rendered as a PNG Image with a transparent alpha channel to
"../data/textures/extraimages2/". This is the path where the SkyNotebook.esp is looking
for the page Images, because TESV can handle external Images but not external richtextfiles.
have fun, triplex2011
