Randomized Skillbooks

Randomized Skillbooks - 1. 00 (Aug 2010) by Wuphon\'s Reach (wuphonsreach@gmail.com) for Fallout 3 Randomizes the appearance of all placed skillbooks in the default Fallout 3 game depending on the player\'s Luck stat. The goal is that a player with average (Luck 5) will see about 20 books of a particular type on average if they visit every possible spawn point. Players with a low Luck value will see about 17, while players with a very high Luck will see around 23. Each book\'s appearance or non-appearance is chosen when the player visits the location for the first time (or gets in the general area for outdoor locations). You will no longer know for sure where you will find a given book. (Much like BigMill\'s \"Random Bobblehead\" mod, which was a great inspiration.) In the base Fallout 3 world there are approximately 22-24 copies of the 13 skillbooks. Not all of these are accessible to the player, so most players will only manage to find 21-22 due to bugs in the base game. Additional spawn points for all books have been added so that it less likely that a book will appear at a given location. After installing this mod there will be about 60 copies of the 13 book types. That means for a player with Luck of 5, they have a 33% chance that a book will appear at a spawn point. With Luck of 10, they will have a 40% chance. Some players might eventually see only 10 copies of a particular book while seeing 30 copies of another type, but the distribution should be close to the targeted number. See the README file for full details (there\'s a link up above), including known bugs and special cases. -------------------------------------------------- Version history: 0. 90 Beta 1, Aug 2010 - First beta release, not fully tested. Contains about 60 total spawn points for each of the 13 book types (about 35 additional for each book). 1. 00 Aug 2010 - Release. Moved about a dozen spawns out of Megaton to other locations in the wastes as I felt there were now too many books showing up in Megaton. Everything seems to be working fine in my testing. I\'m still looking for bugs, but not really finding any with the base scripts.
