Dynamic Books

How to use

After installing this, in Creation Kit create a note / book item and do not add anything to its text field. Now attach an script to it:

Import DynamicBook

Event OnRead()

DynamicBook. GetMenu(). LoadText( sText, bIsBook = false )

The first parameter is the String you want to display in the book, second is a Bool to specify whether this item is a book (two-page) or a note (one-page text). You can download the sample file and add the two "Sample Dynamic Note" and "Sample Dynamic Book" items to your inventory to see it in action.

Limitations

It's not possible to add images (unlike regular books) unfortunately.

Compatibility

None reported so far. Tested with both mouse/keyboard and gamepad, and both with and without SkyrimSouls. Only caveat is for multi-page texts the keyboard navigation does not work if SkyrimSouls is enabled. If you encounter an issue please report it.
