2024? <3

love the mod but was wondering if there was any news on those "future plans" being added

anyways I accidentally summoned beetle juice while reading the bible...help

he he they don't know I have never played a world without cheats and I still have more fun then 99% of the PZ community

I dont find the book

Necronomicon Exmortis, the book ot the dead...

This was one of my favorite niche mods when I would combine them with other fantasy apparel mods. Hopefully it'll work again someday.

it's probably broken then, I may have to come back to this.

Erm i cant seem to find the book i think its broken

If it doesn't let me know. there was an update that breaks the distributions of mods so it probably broke but I haven't had the time to test it myself

does this still work?

Further ideas:

Make the Book of the Dead a container, that can contain Spellscrolls. (so that spells wont clutter your inventory)

To use spells, equip Book of the Dead in off-hand. This makes the container accsessible, so you can pick a spell. (could have a cool 3D model, who knows)
Then equip a Spellscroll in main-hand to cast the spell. (here, it would look better if he didnt actually equip a spell-scroll, its only for functionality reasons)

The idea here is that spells would then work as weapons, with aiming, zombie outlines, and all that.
Then it would just need a custom aiming animation, if thats possible. Like the "halt" emote (im pretty sure there is a halt emote)

Im really digging the invisibility idea.

- Maybe do a force-push kinda spell as well :)? (dont mind the furniture not being affected, the spell only hits beings with a soul ;))

(could be a cone spell, or area-around-caster. Use the "halt" emote as casting animation for
cone spell?)

- How about a "freeze" spell; making the zombies stand still for some time, and then gradually get back up to normal speed.

(could be a cone spell, or area-around-caster. Use the "halt" emote as casting animation for
cone spell?)

Can confirm that practicing latin can incidentily summon lesser demon

Note to self: Make the noise less annoying or not happen, make it so you don't need the book to consume souls and make it so collecting fragments takes less time

nice!

I use this on an existing save, and hope that the update won't break my game. Fingers crossed. Anyway I thought I'd share a unique playthough 'class' of which this mod is a part.

Optional maps used: WP Expansion, Lake Ivy Township (others can be added to taste)
Daywalker Player Template:
Occupation: Must take Burglar
Mods used: Book of the Dead
Necroforge 2.7b
Detect Alarms
Let there be light
Magical Enchantments
More Hair Colors (optional)
Self-Inflicted Injuries
Zedsbane
Akimbos Mod Testing Tool Voxu
Minimal Display Bars (optional)

Rules: Must have 'Insane 4.0 zombies as a max number population number. Must take Burglar, and can automatically detect any alarm (with mod)
No construction, engineering, mechanical or metalworking skills can be used, Cooking, Foraging, First Aid, and Tailoring are okay to use, but not trapping.
You prefer to travel by foot.
Fire cannot be used.
No blunt weapons can be used. At start only knives can be used.
No armor can ever be used. If possible use as many anime friendly outfits as possible to taste (Business Suits are okay if you prefer).

Using the voxu mod, you can self-harm to summon your 'imp'. You can use this imp to summon your dimensional storage only. You may not use any backpacks or bags. You may use the voxu to summon the sword, but instead of the sword, use Necroforge to summon a hunting knife. You may always have at least one knife, provided you have a bloody rag to exchange. You cannot use Zedsbane yet, but you can attach to your back. NO other voxu abilities may be used, including healing. You will gain 'healing' later.
Prior to finding the Book of the Dead, you may use 'ghost mode' to simulate invisibility as much as needed to find a bookstore, after which you must read the book if you find it.
After successfully finding the book, you must keep it and slay ten zombies, after which you must gather their shards and create a single soul, which you must consume.

Following this consumption and your acceptance of the curse, you must discard 'ghost mode' forever.
Use only the summoned hunting knives to fight whatever battle you need to fight. If that weapon breaks or you choose to use it, then draw the Zedsbane.
If you use Zedsbane at least once, then the following rules apply:
If you see a zombie, you must fight it.
If you see a corpse, you must consume it.
If you have at least one soul in your inventory you may retreat from a fight; otherwise you must continue to battle and consume fragments until you can combine a soul.
You may cast any non-voxu spell you find in the world. You must accept the results of the spells and not discard the weapon you cast it on.

I hope this will be a fun 'challenge' for you to take part in. If you haven't read the description of this mod yet and would like to know why all the restrictions, the best ability gained with all this is the curse itself; the ability to heal completely and cheat death, while at the same time always being pulled down by it. Obviously you will likely be hanging out in or near the cities, preferring the throngs of zombies as opposed to the wilderness (unless it's later game and the wilderness has a ton of undead as well) unless you've built up a bit of power and can afford a trek to the next city without dying.
