Mod updated for B42.5!
Installing the mod: Simply download the Zipfile and extract it's content to the project zomboid mods folder.
What does this mod do? Simply put this mod allows you to read faster (or slower) and allows you to even read a book while you walk.
The mod also has it's own Sandbox options you can use to configure if you want to be able to read while walking, how fast or slow you read AND if you want to read faster when sitting down!
How does it work? Either start a new game and adjust the settings under [Custom Sandbox] OR install a mod that allows you to [Change Sandbox Options] for a game you've already started.
You can find all the settings under [M-13's Reading Tweaks]
Minutes per page (B41 version of mod only) This value determines how fast or slow you read books while standing or walking. The default for SOLO is 2.0, The default for Servers is 1.0 The lower this value, the faster you read. (For example: setting this to 0.1 will make you read really fast) B42 introduced this as a vanilla feature, you can find it under "Character" -> Minutes Per Skill Book Page
Sitting Multiplier This value multiplies the reading speed, but only applies to when you sit. The Higher this value, the faster you read. (For example if you set this value to 10.0 you read 10x faster when sitting down)
Read while walking Enable this to read a book while walking.
Does this mod work with other mods? Yes, I've tested a few mods and it worked with all the books they included.
The mod had an update and now my character is reading slower again, how come? This may have happened due to changes in the code. You can use -debug mode (or a mod that allows for changing sandbox settings) to check if the values are correct (and change them if needed) What if i do not want to use this mod anymore? This mod does not add any items so it can be removed without issues.
Does this work for Multiplayer? For B41: Yes it does, but it overwrites the "MinutesPerPage" value in your server's sandbox settings. It should also work in Co-op, but i have not tested this. B42 does not have multiplayer at time of writing, but i expect this mod to work normally when it is released.
This mod's permissions fall under TIS's policy On Lockdown This mod cannot be modified by anyone else, for anything else, at all, ever. Even if the user disappears, he or she would much rather you didn't touch the fruits of their hard labour.
