Gyde's Trait Magazines

Kuvaus
Thank you for 100k+!
Project crunch is over. This mod has been updated finally.

About
Find and learn traits through trait magazines! All with unique and vanilla-friendly name and designs.

This mod is very customizable with sandbox settings, start a game in "Custom Sandbox" or use Change Sandbox Options mod to change settings mid-game for a singleplayer game.

By default, if the player starts with a negative trait counterpart of a trait (like Disorganized vs Organized), reading the magazine will not give the positive trait but instead remove the negative trait. (*)
(*) This can be changed in sandbox settings to both remove and award the positive trait.

Other sandbox settings include the option to choose which magazines spawn, toggling of a trait by rereading a magazine (for those who want to toggle Speed Demon), and an option to change the spawn rate of all magazines.

Available Trait Magazines
- Nutritionist
- Outdoorsman
- Handy
- Axe Man
- Burglar
Traits with negatives (in brackets):
- Speed Demon (Sunday Driver)
- Organized (Disorganized)
- Fast Learner (Slow Learner)
- Fast Reader (Slow Reader)
- Inconspicuous (Conspicuous)
- Graceful (Clumsy)
- Dexterous (All Thumbs)
- Keen Hearing (Deaf / Hard of Hearing) (*)
(*) Reading the Keen Hearing magazine with deaf will not do anything.

Finding Magazines
All trait magazines can be found in common magazine locations like magazine racks and libraries. Some magazines have unique spawns where they have a higher spawn rate. For example, "Fast Learner" can be found more commonly in schools and "Burglar" more commonly in police/evidence lockers.

The spawn rates for magazines will differ in rarity depending on the value of the trait.

By default, the cheaper trait magazines are roughly as common as Skill Vol. 1 & 2 books. The more expensive trait magazines are roughly as rare as/rarer than "How to Use A Generator" magazines.

Changing the sandbox spawn settings will multiply spawn rates accordingly: Very Low (0.1x), Low (0.5x), Default (1x), High (2x), Very High (3x)

Extra Notes
I mainly made this mod because I wanted a way to learn Nutritionist, figured why not design and add magazines for other traits as well.

Also, this is my first time delving into Zomboid mod making so I'd highly appreciate suggestions or bug reports in the comments, thanks!

FAQ
Q: Does this work in multiplayer?
A: Yes!

Q: Can I add this mod mid-save / ongoing world?
A: Yes, but the magazines will only spawn in unexplored chunks. If you're adding this mod on a late save, I'd recommend resetting chunks outside of your base or in previously looted towns.

Q: Does reading magazines also give XP/level for skills? (E.g. Handy's +1 Carpentry & +1 Maintenance)
A: No, reading magazines will only give the associated trait.

Q: Can you add support for X mod's traits?
A: Unfortunately there are too many trait mods to create magazine designs for, so I'm sticking with vanilla traits only. Though if you would like to expand or create an add-on for the mod, you have my full permission to look through the code and attempt it yourself!

Q: Is this compatible with Evolving Traits World or mods that add or remove traits dynamically?
A: Functionally, this mod simply looks through the traits you have and if it matches the vanilla trait, it will add or remove it. If the mod changes the name for traits, this mod will not work. With dynamic trait mods, adding/removing traits may also be undone depending on how and when they check for conditions.

Known Issues
- Some languages are missing translation for consumable magazine option in sandbox. (WIP, waiting for translators)

i've tried it, thanks for your answer Gyde !
Gyde  [tekijä] 20.9. klo 23.52 
@le criminologue If you have a "bad trait" like Sunday Driver, reading the magazine will replace the bad trait with the positive version, Speed Demon. There is a sandbox setting to only allow you to only remove the trait if you think replacing is too strong. I might work on another setting soon that needs 2 magazines to clear and add the trait. :guineapig:

Hello, i do not understand the part about "bad trait", will i have a bad trait by learning a skill via the magazine ? thanks for your answer, the mod looks amazing, great thought

That would be great, thanks!

@Gyde: My players didn’t point out specifics, just mentioned finding multiple copies of the same mags while looting in different places in the world. I might get back to you on that if I have further info.
Gyde  [tekijä] 17.9. klo 3.53 
@Gojita I have previously used debug tools in Zomboid to compare the spawn rates of my magazines with the vanilla rare magazines like the How to Use Generators and Herbalist, so some magazines are already balanced to vanilla. A global rarer spawn rate would make those already balanced magazine much more rare than they should be.

I might have missed a few spawn points when balancing the spawn rates for each magazine which is why I would appreciate if people could let me know which magazines are appearing more frequently than they should be and if possible where they appear at so I can tweak them. :spiffo:
Gojita 17.9. klo 3.07 
@Gyde: I mean, not a specific/area spawnrate option, more like a general setting for ALL magazines in the whole map, even lower than your "rarest" preset.
Gyde  [tekijä] 17.9. klo 2.53 
@Gojita The issue is that each magazine has a bunch of possible spawn points (roughly 10-13 for each), some spawn points appear much more than others (like school desks for example), so to properly balance it I need to lower that spawn rate for that specific spawn point for the magazine type.

Unfortunately, I can't give an option to change each spawn point for each magazine as there are simply too many spawn point and magazines (there would need to be an option for each magazine and every spawn point individually). So if I get feedback that one magazine type like Fast Learner is being found much more commonly than others in school desks for example, I can turn the base rarity down to balance it. :ReeneAHA:

Another option is to modify the mod files themselves and adjust the base spawn rate in lua > server > items > GydeTraitMagazines_Distribution, explored chunks won't change but it will affect spawn rates of unloaded chunks.
Gojita 17.9. klo 1.07 
@Gyde: In 4–5 hours of playtime he found around 5~7 trait book/mag, some of them are duplicates, across multiple towns (because we use multiple map mods), it's more of a balance issue rather than technical, so I’d really like an option to manually tweak spawnrate since the presets don’t suit my server for the time being.
Gyde  [tekijä] 17.9. klo 0.54 
@Gojita Could you ask which type of magazines are being found and where they are found in? I could tweak the magazine spawns individually as for example Fast Learner spawns in school desks and there are many desks in each school, I've adjusted it before but I can lower it if it's still an issue.
