Obsolete after b42.

You have to equip the flashlight to read in the dark. This should honestly be a vanilla feature thank you

im making a boring mod, and i want to use your script to check lighted player (been in the dark is bored), can i add it with credit?

Looks like it's still clashing with the reintroduced version of Better Literacy. Such a shame, both mods are highly needed.

Your mod has an incomplete start, but it works in a car with the lights off in the dark of night. Otherwise, fix it without any problems.

So good, so underrated.
Now we need a mod that is checking the light requirement for almost anything we're about to do in-game

multiplayer?

Love this mod -- will never play without it again. :)

Any chance you'd consider expanding it to cover other activities that would require light? Might include reading maps, reading / writing in notebooks and similar items . . . maybe even some crafting recipes that would need fine detail work (like Electronics recipes).

That would be awesome, and could probably be done in stages.

Hello, here is the translation into French.

GitHub Translation Files in French [github.com]

Very important: it is imperative to save files in ANSI format so that special characters, such as 'é', are correctly displayed in-game.
Thank you.

I love it :)

Can you read with a flashlight?

Works perfectly! thanks for a great mod

The problem is that this mod clashes with some other popular reading mods like Better Literacy. I’m certain 90% of the people saying “Broken, update!” Are having a compatibility issue.

No errors for me.

Anyway issues like "doesn't work" aren't the issues. Proof is needed, otherwise any other mod may cause errors.

This mod started throwing an error in the last couple weeks. Might be one of the recent patches on 41.X?

Better Literacy is the culprit, load order doesn't matter.

Must be either a mod clash or load order issue for me then. I’ll investigate when I get home from work.

It's working for me: https://i.imgur.com/Vm9uqhe.png

Must not be needing much light anymore then because my arse was sitting in a pitch black room and reading away.

@tilarium It's still working on 41.73.

Just to give you a heads up, the mod is currently not working with the latest versions of the game.

Hi nice mod! can i include your mod in mi spanish translation package?

Beautiful mod, we love it in my roleplay server!
I noticed a small compatibility problem with soulficher's awesome time: the lantern does not allow reading.

Won't matter if you do, the mod doesn't work currently

Do you mind if I put this mod in a modpack for my server? I'll credit you and link this page.

NICE MOD MST HAVE WORK WITH 41.60

Any chance maps and paper/notebooks/journals could also be affected? :)

Does cat eyes effect anything with this mod?

@poppajulietwhiskey, as I wrote, the check (and message output) are inserted into the original function `ISReadABook:update()`. I find it hard to imagine a mod that would use this for other purposes. Maybe you just accidentally "pressed the wrong button"?

It must be a mod compatibility issue. I got the message saying I couldn't read in the dark, but I was doing something that wasn't reading. Forgot what I was doing at the time that triggered it.

B41

@poppajulietwhiskey, this mod works with the original function `ISReadABook:update()`. You can try search this text in other mods. If other mod uses this function, try disabling it.

@poppajulietwhiskey, b40 or b41?

I've had this mod enabled and running for a while, and it doesn't seem to work. I do use a bunch of other mods, and add/remove some frequently, so it may be a mod conflict.

Any idea of what kind of mods this might have issues with?

@Nevaric, until now, it was not, but now I will think about it. But certainly not in this mod, and hardly anytime soon, so you have a chance to get ahead of me))

any plans to make a similar mod like this but for foraging ?

Reminds me of The Long Dark, which I find to be very simular to PZ with its focus on long-term survival and adaptation. You also couldn't read books if you were sick or in pain, so I wonder if that could be done here as well.

By the way, for some reason I can read outside perfectly fine if I have the flashlight on but not inside. It only works inside IF I'm near an open window.

Hey, great mod by the way, really helps my immersion.
There's this bug with both the hand torch and flashlight, I've tried reading with either of them on and it still says it's too dark to read, unfortunately I have no candles or whatever to help me so I can't check that. I've tried what you said about slightly moving to the side and sitting down and it never worked. Regardless, great mod.

@Heisenberg, yes, it usually works. I recently ran into a strange situation where the light from the flashlight was not enough. If you suddenly come across this too, try to sit down or move slightly to the side. I will try to fix this as soon as I understand the reason.

I hope allow to read if you have lantern equipped turned on or lighter with candle

Very nice mod, my immersion is thanking you:-)

Надо подумать, возможно получится фонарик учесть, или просто наличие заряженного аккумулятора в машине - не думаю, что тут стоит считать расход энергии, внутренний свет должен потреблять крайне мало.

Интересно. Самое простое, что приходит в голову - чтение в машине тратит аккумулятор (если она не заведена).

Круто, можешь пофиксить чтение в машине? Например если включены фары или еще лучше- включен двигатель. А то фонарик в машине не считается.

Realistic.
